The Battles of the British Army

The most important battles of the War were the battle of Verdun, which caused an estimate of 1 million victims and the battle of La Somme which caused an estimate of eight hundred thousands victims.

The UK was initially reluctant to get involved in the war and sought to broker a peaceful solution between the conflicting powers. However, after Germany invaded Belgium, the United Kingdom felt it had no choice but to declare war, supporting France and the French Army.

THE END OF THE WAR

The intervention of the United States and the defeat of the Central Empires

With the intervention of the USA in 1917, the fate of the war changed radically.In fact, with the help of the Americans' soldiers, UK and France finally defeated Germany on the Western Front, and Italy defeated Austria on the Austro-Hungaric Front.

After the last try of Germany, easily interrupted by UK and France, in November 11th, 1918, the "Great War", later called "The First World War" ended.
