actually,  world war 1 began with the assassination of arch duke franz ferdinand of austria hungary.  germany had been itching to start a war with russia and austria hungary had been itching to start a war with serbia - russia and serbia were allies and germany and austria and hungary were allies.\n\nthe austrian/hungarians accused the serbians of plotting to kill the arch duke and attacked serbia.  russia joined the war against austria/hungary and germany joined the war on austria hungary's side.\n\nso at the beginning it was serbia and russia against germany and austria/hungary.\n\nfrance then joined because they were allies with russia and england joined because they thought it was wrong that germany and austria were attacking france through neutral belgium.\n\nthe united states of america joined the war in 1917 because germany was sinking us cargo ships heading for england.\n\nbut russia pulled out of the war in 1917 because of riots in the country and because the socialists took over the government.\n\nso before 1917 it was:  germany and austria/hungary versus:  britain, france, italy, russia and serbia\n\nfrom 1917 to 1918, when the war ended it was: the us, france, england, italy versus: germany and austria-hungary (serbia was defeated early on and knocked out of the war as was the case with russia)\n\nthe war was characterized by TRENCH WARFARE.  after germany had some incredible success at the beginning, both sides dug into long trenches and not much happened until the US entered the war.  by 1917 germany was falling apart economically and the american soldiers were helping to overrun german trenches.  germany surrendered on november 11, 1918.\n\nfor your report you can use this information but also include some major battles.\n\ngood luck.\n\ndan

I have seen books on the subject, but off-hand can not remember titles.\nYou could \n1) Try the National Football Museum, at Preston.\nI know your are not in England but you could contact.\n\n2) Try the League records department.\n\n3) I very much doubt you will find records for 1915 - 1919.\nIn 1915 ‘The First World War’ interrupted the normal league program of football. Though it was played during the ‘The First World War’ , due to the fact that most players were in military service, players guested for the nearest team to their barracks or ship. As a result of this no league tables were collated for the seasons during the ‘The First World War’ , the football league resumed the normal league program in 1919. \n\nBut you will track down results and fixtures for 1939-1945.\n\nYou will find the National Football Museum at Preston  \nNational Football Museum\nSir Tom Finney Way\nDeepdale\nPreston\nPR1 6RU\nLancashire\nEngland  \n\nYou will find collection details, including Archives, \nalso Costume and Textiles, \nDecorative and Applied Art, \nFootball Film and Media, \nSocial History, \nToys and Hobbies relating to Soccer.

I can tell you it went from 1914-1918, not the years you said.\n\nHere's a big article all about it.  Next time go to Wikipedia.org before you come to Yahoo Answers.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I\n\nAt the time, world politics was dominated by five or six Great Powers, each of them a country in Europe with colonial possessions in other parts of the world.  They each went behind each other's backs a lot to make alliances, promising to join in if their ally was attacked.  It was a very unstable situation, because a squabble over something minor could suddenly spiral into a giant worldwide confrontation as each side called in more and more allies.  This is exactly what happened.  The event that triggered it all was the assasination of the man next in line for the Austrian throne; he was shot by a Serbian who thought Serbia should be its own country and not part of the Austrian empire.  Serbia is in the Balkans, the same area as the territory covered by the former Yugoslavia, and that's why others have said "the Balkans was a powder keg."\n\nOnce all the alliances had kicked in, both sides discovered that their new war technologies were good for killing a lot of people but not good for gaining territory or gaining a decisive advantage over your opponent. Much of the war was a long bloody stalemate.\n\nThere's obviously a lot more, but you'll have to get it from the Wikipedia article.

try "The Great War For Civilisation" by Robert Fisk.  You will need to go back further than 20 years too as the current problems are rooted in the decisions made after the first and second world wars.  This book covers other countries in the Middle East too.

I don't know of any sites to direct you to...\n\nbut you might want to research the economic situation of the countries after WWI...hyperinflation and social instability, which paved the path for Hitler's rise to power.\n\nI would also investigate WHY this happened: the treaty signed punishing Germany, so that they were in the aforementioned economic position...
