The First World War, also known as the Great War, was a large inter-imperialist conflict which was waged primarily in Europe with other theaters in Africa, and Asia between 1914 to 1918. The main combatants were the Entente, composed mainly of the United Kingdom, France, and Russia, and the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire along with their respective colonies and dependencies. The war is estimated to have resulted in tens of millions of working class soldier and civilian causalities.[1]
The First World War brought the contradictions of imperialism to their extreme limits, resulting in socialist revolutions across Europe. This would most notably include the October Revolution in 1917, which would eventually lead to the formation of the Soviet Union in 1922.
