**Reflection**

World War I is known as the "Great War" because no other war until this one had made such an enormous impact on the world. It was the first was to affect all of the major nations of Europe and the world. Throughout, the war took several lives but also changed the lives of several more. Since it was such a huge impact towards everyone in this era, they expected it to be the last war. Hoping that nothing like that could ever happen again. Within those four years of fighting people believed that it was going to be the "War To End All Wars" also another name for the World War I.

As these allies became more aware of what they were getting themselves into causing them to introduce more weapons into war to defend themselves. As one side introduce these new weapons, on the other side they are developing even better strategies to go against them. It brought new inventions to the world which impacted the world as a whole. World War I was the Great War, not just because of all the impacts it had on everyone but also on how it shaped the world to be today.

Over one hundred countries participared in the war, which meant that a huge portion of each countries soldiers were killed. The major countries that took part of World War I were the Aliies which consisted of the countries; G reat Britian, France and Russia and the Central Powers which were Germany, Ottoman Empire, and Austria-Hungary. These countries were always caught up but as not as big battles. Soon more countries came into the wa which impacted how they were living because of all the troops that had to be sent in. Therefore, World War I is known as the "Great War" because of how many countries participated and what people expected from the end of the war, which was that this was going to be the last war that was going to make such an impact on everyone in the world.
