Your question is kind of confusing because I don't know if you want information regarding the Central Powers (the triple alliance) or the Triple Entente.  What I can tell you is that anything you want to know about WWI you can get at this website http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWW.htm

In 1914 all of Europe was connected by various treaties.  The Germans to the Austro-Hungarian Empire; Britain to Belgium; Belgium to France etc.  This meant that one small local disagreement would quickly drag in lots of other countries.

Although the League of Nations (supporting the peace) was an idea of US president W.Wilson USA never accesed to that organisation. Germany (the country that wanted the most the WWI) lost the WWI, but was not defeated. After WWI no country nocticed no took into account that changes in Russia, since 1922 Soviet Union, would be permanent and that they would create a new and the first (?) totalitar country in the world.

Historians believe that there were several reasons for the outbreak of war during the summer of 1914.\n\n(a) The size of the British Empire; \n\n(b) The desire by Germany to have a larger empire than Britain; \n\n(c) The fear that Austro-Hungary had of Russia; \n\n(d) The fear that Russia had of Austro-Hungary;\n\n(e) The desire of France to regain the losses suffered during the war with Germany in 1870; \n\n(f) The formation of the Triple Alliance; \n\n(g) The formation of the Triple Entente; \n\n(h) The increasing size of the German Army; \n\n(i) The increasing size of the German Navy; \n\n(j) The increasing size of the Royal Navy;\n\n(k) The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand;\n\n(l) The way that Austro-Hungary and Germany treated Serbia after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand;\n\n(m) The way that Russia reacted to the way that Austro-Hungary and Germany treated Serbia after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand;\n___________________________________________________________\n\nI have inserted links to useful pages at www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk - which is an awesome history website aimed at school kids.

Hi,\n\nOnly five European nations were capable of sustaining a policy of neutrality throughout the entire war, even though 20 nations had held a policy of neutrality in September 1939. Those 5 nations were: Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Switzerland. However, this neutrality is sometimes disputed because some of those nations, like Spain worked for the axis on a way or another. Nevertheless, they never were engaged on military actions officially, and then are considered neutral during the conflict.\n\nHope this helps.

Triple Alliance were made up of the countries of Italy, Germany and Austria-Hungary.  \nIt was orginally designed in 1879 as the Dual Alliance, made up of the countries of Germany and Austria-Hungary.  In 1882, Italy joined, thus the name Triple Alliance.\nwww.spartacus.school.net.co/uk/FWWtriple.htm\nThe Triple Entente was made up of Russia, Britain, and France.\nwww.spartacus.school.net.co/uk/Fwwentente.htm\nEach pact was made up of three countries.  No more, no less. Good luck.\n\nPS ALAYNA  When did you ever crack that book? j/c

Adwa had further consequences than just pointing and pasting from another website without understanding.\n\nFirst, this battle, because native scouts hired by the Italians actually turned out to be double agents, would remain a sore subject between Italy and Ethiopia. In fact, Mussolini would use the revenge for Adwa as one of the justifications for the 1935 war.\n\nSecond, this battle would fundamentally affect the balance of power in Europe leading up to World War I. Ethiopia, which was evangelized by Russian Orthodox monks (Ethiopia is still a largely Orthodox nation, at least in the cities) and Russia sent large amounts of weapons and support for the defense against Italy. Contrarily, Italy's supposed allies Germany and Austria-Hungary did nothing to help her (even a strongly worded cable to Saint Petersburg would have been something!). As a result, Italy felt she was not morally obligated to do anything the defend her allies when the Archduke was murdered in Sarajevo in 1914, and Italy would eventually declare war on Austria in 1915.

G'day A B,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThe end of World War I saw the US recognised as a major power for the first time. It became the world's greatest creditor unlike today. It had relatively few casualties with 53,402 battle deaths and 63,114 other deaths in service.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

which world war? there was two. if it was world war I then ok; world war 1 started on 1914, ended in 1918. June 28, 1914, reason why? Archduke Franz Ferdinand (of Austria) was assassinated by a team of \nSerbian nationalists while he was in Sarajevo to assert\nAustrian imperial authority over Bosnia, a Slavic territory.\n\nThis assassination triggered the cascade of events that quickly produced war world 1, which were fought by; 2 sides \n\nThe Allied Powers\n-\n led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia , and, after 1917, the United States entered war.\n\nthe Central Powers (this side lost) \n-\nled by the German Empire,Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire (aka turkey dinasty.) \nThis is how it went;\nArchduke Franz Ferdinand was assesinated by a group of serbian nationalist while trying to assert austrias control of bosnia.\nAustria extremely mad about this, backed by Berlin, attacked Serbia on July 29 in retaliation, and Germany (a big austrian backer at that time, which secretly wanted a bigger presence in europe) invaded Belgium on August 3. Thus, the war commenced; also Germany and Austria-Hungary are seen as the initial aggressors, and thus, responsible for the outbreak of war world 1. Germany was assigned the guilt although, it was humiliated in 1920 by The War Guilt clause, or Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles/Treaty of Trianon, (proclaimed as the initial AGGRESORS) and required to pay war reparations and all future costs, such as pensions for all the Allied veterans. these payments were stopped however by hitler in 1933, the same year he became chancellor (not fuhrer yet). this war ended in 1918 shortly after the U.S joined-in, in 1917, and the Allied powers defeated the central.\n-\nnow world war II;\ntook place between 1939 and 1945. it IS to this day the biggest, largest and deadliest war ever seen.\nJapan had been fighting china for many years, but the "world" war is said to have begun on September 1, 1939 when as you know Germany with the soviet union (through a secret war pact before the war.) invaded Poland.  two days later france and britain declared war on germany. The "allies" (Poland, British Commonwealth, France) left battles strictly in poland untill May, 1940 Germany invaded Western Europe, taking on the British and French militaries. Six weeks later, france surrendered to germa. \n3months later, Germ, Italy,& Jap signed a mutual defense agreement, Tripartite Pact, and were known as the Axis Powers. soviet union got into the war, when germany double-crossed them and invaded soviet land. forcing unwillingly the soviets to the allied camp. In December 1941, Japan attacked the United States (pearl harbor) bringing it too into the war on the Allied side. japan was on axis powers side (nazi side) after these events china instantly joined the allied side, as most of the rest of the world after  1940\nin 1942 Britain, USA, USSR, were fighting Germany and Italy; and all allies (except USSR) were fighting Japan. From then through August 1945, battles raged across all of Europe, in the North Atlantic Ocean, across North Africa, throughout Southeast Asia, throughout China, across the Pacific Ocean and, by air, in Japan.\nItaly surrendered in September 1943, Germany in May 1945. The surrender of Japan marked the end of the war, on September 2, 1945.\nHitler killed himself, along with his wife Eva braun (who he married few days before) and his 2 dogs on April 30, 1945 in a underground bunker there bodies were incinerated by servants by request; because of hitlers fear that what happend to mussolini (hanged by his toes) they would also do to his corpse.\nnote an estimated 60 million people died in this war estimates vary; About 64% of all casualties were civilians.\n3 million of them were polish jews, and 2 million polish "gentiles"

The Treaty of Versailles (1919) was the peace treaty which officially ended World War I between the Allied and Associated Powers and Germany. After six months of negotiations, which took place at the Paris Peace Conference, the treaty was signed as a follow-up to the armistice signed in November 1918 in Compiègne Forest (which had put an end to the actual fighting). Although there were many agreements to the treaty, one of the more important and recognized agreements required that Germany accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231-247, make reparations to certain members of the Allies.\n\nTerms imposed by the Treaty included Germany losing a certain amount of its own territory to a number of surrounding countries, being stripped of all its overseas and African colonies, and its ability to make war again was limited by restrictions on the size of its military. Germany also acknowledged and agreed to respect the independence of Austria. Germany's foreign minister, Hermann Müller, undersigned it on June 28, 1919. The treaty was ratified by the League of Nations on January 10, 1920. In Germany, the treaty caused shock and humiliation that contributed to the collapse of the Weimar Republic in 1933.\n\nConditions\nThe treaty had provided for the creation of the League of Nations, a major goal of US president Wilson. The League of Nations was intended to arbitrate international disputes and thereby avoid future wars. Only four of Wilson's Fourteen Points were realized, since Wilson was compelled to compromise with Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Orlando on some points in exchange for retaining approval of the "fourteenth point", the League of Nations. The common view has been that France's Clemenceau was the most vigorous in his pursuit of revenge against Germany, the Western Front of the war having been fought chiefly on French soil.\n\nOther provisions included the loss of the German colonial empire and loss of some territories Germany had annexed or conquered in the relatively recent past:\n\nAlsace-Lorraine, the territories which were ceded to Germany in accordance with the Preliminaries of Peace signed at Versailles on February 26, 1871, and the Treaty of Frankfurt of May 10, 1871, were restored to French sovereignty without plebiscite as from the date of the Armistice of November 11, 1918. (area 14,522 km², 1,815,000 inhabitants (1905)), \nNorthern Schleswig including the German-dominated town of Tondern Tønder in Schleswig-Holstein, after the Schleswig Plebiscite, to Denmark (3,984 km², 163,600 inhabitants (1920)), \nthe Prussian provinces Posen and (West Prussia), which Prussia had conquered in Partitions of Poland, were returned to the reborn Polish state after the local population had gain its freedom in Great Poland Uprising (area 53,800 km² 4,224,000 inhabitants (1931)) \nHultschin Hulczyn area of Upper Silesia to Czechoslovakia (316 or 333 km² and 49,000 people), \nEast part of Upper Silesia, to Poland (area 3,214 km² 965,000 people), although after plebiscite 60 % voted for Germany \nthe area of German cities Eupen and Malmedy to Belgium \nthe area of Soldau in East Prussia (railway station on the Warsaw-Gdańsk route) to Poland (area 492 km²), \nNorthern part of East Prussia as Memelland under control of France, later transferred to Lithuania without plebiscite. \nin Eastern part of West Prussia and in Southern part of East Prussia Warmia and Masuria, small area to Poland, \nthe province Saarland under the control of the League of Nations for 15 years, after that a plebiscite between France and Germany, \nthe city of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) with the delta of Vistula river at the Baltic Sea was made the Freie Stadt Danzig (Free City of Danzig) under the League of Nations. (area 1893 km², 408,000 inhabitants 1929). \nArticle 156 of the treaty transferred German concessions in Shandong, China to Japan rather than returning sovereign authority to Ch

Our policies in the 1890's were The Monroe Doctrine, a policy of restricting European influence in the Americas, and The Open Door Policy in China, a statement that we intended to keep China open economically to all possible trading partners.  Arguably, our involvement in WWI was consistent with the Monroe Doctrine in that it sought to prevent The Triple Entente from practicing similar interventions elsewhere in the world and, in the hearts and minds of Americans of the time, sought to prevent Germany from emerging as some unmanageable super-power.

It was a knock on affect. If one country on one side went to war with one on the other they would ALL go to war. Sebian nationalist kills Austro-Hungarian Prince, AustroHungary demands nationalist. Serbia refuses to hand him over, Austria Hungary declares war on Serbia, so Serbia's ally Russia declared war on Austria Hungary so AustriaHungary's ally Germany declares war on Russia so Russia's ally France declares war on Germany and England joins in coz they'd finished their Splendid Isolation and didn't wanna be left out and declred war on Germany. So the Alliance(Germany&co) and the Entente(France &co.) were at War-WW1!

The Allies in the First World War were Russia, France, and the United Kingdom.  Italy was initially part of the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire) but it switched sides when it realized that this would be an opportunity to incorporate the "Tyrol" and the city of Trieste, areas controlled before the war by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  Russia experienced Revolution in 1917 to overthrow the Czas with the result that Russia quit fighting Germany.  The United States then joined the Allies and sent troops to France in the knick of time, because Germany had just started to shift its troops westward from the Russian front.  So the Four great powers at the end of the war were the US, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom.
