The united states got involved in ww1 because of unrestricted submarine warfare(ships sunk). Germany wanted to help Mexico out by sending them a note and it ended up in the united states hands which made all of our soldiers mad. In 1917 everything with the war started to began and any ship that got close to England was to be sunk.
Over some time Russia quit the battle and war because they suffered to much. Russia spent most of their money on weapons and that still didn't work because they lost nearly 5.5 million people to the war. There wasn't just deaths but some people were killed,sick,our took en to prison. in 1918 the Russians signed a treaty and gave up the war.
Germany started to feel confident about the war because they did not have to fight lots of people anymore they just had to fight France.Germany felt like a weight has been lifted off of there shoulders because they did not have to worry about getting attacked from both sides.
The Americans came into the war prepared and the German country did not want to fight anymore. The war ended in 1918 on November 11th in the 11th hour so now every year on that date we celebrate and we call the day veterans day. Millions of people died and the celebration is to give thanks to all of our troops.
A total of 65 million people fought but there was high numbers of death from each side of the war. There has never been a war that had the whole world involved in it. the war cost 338 billion dollars in damage. paying for all of the damages was the closing of ww1 and things calmed down for a minute even though both sides were still angry. Hitler began a movement and it could be the start of ww2 =[.
