World War I - resume

The First World War took place between the years 1914 and 1918, but times before, especially between the years 1870 and 1914, the world was a great euphoria that was known as Belle Epoque (Beautiful Era). It was a period in which it experienced great progress both in the economic field and in technology. Rich countries lived moments of hope, believing that they would impose their wishes to the poorest countries. However, in fact, this whole party atmosphere was hiding tensions that would trigger the one that was also known as the Great War or the War of Wars, one of the biggest events in world history.

The more European countries are industrializing, the greater was the dispute between them, they wanted to dominate not only Europe, but modernize its economy overlapping on other nations. This bitter climate provoked a strong tension, because industrialized countries vied for global consumer markets and raw materials with all the weapons that they were possible.
