(Britain, France, Russia, later the U.S.) and the Central Powers (Germany,
Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire). The war introduced modern weapons like machine
guns, tanks, poison gas, and airplanes, leading to unprecedented casualties. The conflict
ended with the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which imposed harsh reparations on Germany.
