españolThe First World War, also known as the Great War, [b] was a military confrontation, mainly in Europe, which began on July 28, 1914 and ended on November 11, 1918, when Germany accepted the conditions of the armistice. After six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference, on June 28, 1919 the Allied countries signed the Treaty of Versailles with Germany, and others throughout the following year with each of the defeated powers. More than nine million combatants and seven million civilians lost their lives, an extraordinarily high figure, given the technological and industrial sophistication of the belligerents. It is considered the fifth deadliest conflict in the history of Humanity. [C] Such was the convulsion that provoked the war, which paved the way for major political changes, including numerous revolutions with a character never before seen in several of the nations involved
