"The Weltkrieg, or The Great War, was a major war centered on Europe that began in the summer of 1914. The fighting effectively ended in November 1919, but the war only officially ended two years later. This conflict involved all of the world's great powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the Entente (centered around the Triple Entente) and the Central Powers. More than 71 million military personnel, including 61 million Europeans, were mobilized in the largest war in history. More than 10 million combatants were killed, due largely to great technological advances in firepower without corresponding advances in mobility. It was the deadliest conflict in history. The Treaty of Versailles, called Peace with Honor by British propaganda, was the peace treaty that officially ended the Weltkrieg in Europe and, at least on paper, as a whole. Ratified in November 1919 by the remaining members of the European Entente after an armistice had been signed in early August, it finally manifestated German hegemony in Continental Europe but also plunged France into a revolution and a bloody civil war, changing the political landscape of Western Europe forever."
The Legacy of the Great War lies in your hands, and you have the ability to steer the future of the country you choose. With three major alliances dividing Europe, a second Weltkrieg seems almost inevitable. To give nations cought in the crossfire a chance, we have brought in the idea of a United Nations-esque organization to protect the countries in such a position. Will your leadership lead you to become the new Napoleon, or will it all crumble down with the only option of surrendering? We will see you on the battlefield!
