World War 1 “The war to end all wars”

2 WWI Serbia saw Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of its territory and Austria-Hungary’s annexation of the territory led to hostilities which eventually led to war. Nationalism led smaller countries to fight for independence and militarism led larger countries to settle disputes on the battlefield. Deadly new weapons such as tanks and poison gas added to the horrors of trench warfare and turned the war into a stalemate.
