World War I. Nechaev S.Yu.

World War I is one of the most deadly conflicts in history: about 9 million people died in battles and more than 5 million civilians - as a result of military occupation, bombing, hunger and diseases. Millions of people died as a result of the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire and 1918 influenza pandemia. I must say that, despite a huge number of research (by the end of 2012, about 60,000 works about the First World War were published in the world), the question of the premises and reasons for this war is still one of the most debatable. Historians do not stop arguing about the causes of the war, the degree of readiness of the participating countries, and the responsibility for the outbreak of the conflict. Each side imposes guilt on the enemy.
