let me put this in terms a teenager can understand

archduke franz ferdinand was in sarajevo and gavrilo princop popped a cap in his -ss

austria-hungary got p-ssed off and asked germany for help who gave them a “do whatever the f-ck you want” or a blank check. austria-hungary finally asked serbia to stop all anti austria-hungary activities and let them investigate the murder themselves. serbia said f-ck no and then austria-hungary declared war

because russia was an allie of serbia it began mobilization (preparing for war) and germany didn’t like this so they said “back the f-ck up” to which russia said no so germany declared war on russia and for no apparent reason whatsoever (just to be -ssholes i suppose) declared war on france. the declaration of war by germany on france p-ssed off the english so england declared war on germany

so basically they’re all fighting when one day germany shot a torpedo and sunk the lusitania. the united states put their foot down and decided enough is enough and they were going to enter the war.

the germans sh-t their pants and i can’t remember what happened next but that’s how it started
cl-ss, today we’re learning about world war 1
war started when archduke franz ferdinand of austria, was -ss-ssinated. because of the alliances at the time it caused a full fledged world war. there was the central powers – germany, austria-hungary, and ottoman empire. then there was the entente powers – great brittan, france, italy, j-pan, russia, and america.

the war used a trench war-fare combat system. just a bunch of holes in the ground that you can hide in and shot you bolt-action rifle out of. the war suffered many casualty’s because trench war-fare is not a good type of combat. the commander would just throw soldiers out of the trench to run miles to the enemy trench and use their rifles and bayonet’s to try and take it over. during the war there was a new weapon used called the flame-throw mostly used by german storm troopers. also the germans used another new weapon called the u-boat or the submarine.

close to the end of the war the russian people had overthrown the government and installed a new communist government. also they surrendered to the central powers.

the war ended with the treaty of versailles. it did not give enough land to italy or j-pan, which angered the people which is why they joined the axis during ww2. the treaty smashed the german economy also enraging the people and causing them to hand the government to a man who promised to fix it all hitler.

this war was a real cl-ster f-ck, and took many lives away from people for no reason.
world war 1 was a horrible and stupid war.
the war before world war 2. nothing else related this is well known.
woman: what happened in world war 1?
man: i have no f-cking clue.
