It involved major powers such as Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, Allied nations including France, Britain, and the United States, and was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The war redefined borders in central Europe, leading to the formation of the League of Nations, aimed at preventing future conflicts.
