WORLD WAR 1
I'm just going to cut to the chase. This website is about world war 1 why I happened and how it happened and I even put down the name and information of the weapons used in ww1. Modern historians consider WW1 to be *the* defining event of modern history, with virtually all significant events afterwards being directly or indirectly caused by the War. WW1 radically changed Western society on a huge number of levels, and the political fallout from the end of the war can be immediately traced to practically any major issue we face today. While WW2 was more materially destructive, WW1 changed the basic assumptions of virtually the entire global society. It ended the age of Empires, created the movements of ethnic national self-determination that plague us today, turned Communism from a pipe dream of academics to an actual "viable" government form, and radically changed governments from modest in scale to huge centralized ones, and put the USA on the road to superpower status, amongst a host of other consequences.
