The First world war is one of the longest and most significant wars in history, which is characterized by vast bloodshed. It proceeded more than four years, the interesting thing is that it was attended by thirty-three countries (87% of the world population) who had at that time state sovereignty.

The Beginning of the First world war (start date  - 28 June 1914) gave impetus to the formation of two blocks: the Entente (Britain, France, Russia) and Triple Alliance (Italy, Germany, Austria). The war began as a result of the uneven development of the capitalist system at the stage of imperialism, and in consequence of the Anglo-German conflict.

The reasons for the outbreak of the first world war are the following:

1.The crisis of the world economy.

2. The divergence of interests between Russia, Germany, Serbia, great Britain, France, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria.

Russia has sought to gain access to the seas, England – to weaken Turkey and Germany, France – to return Lorraine and Alsace, in turn, Germany was to take over Europe and the middle East, Austria-Hungary – to control the movements of ships at sea, and Italy – obtaining dominance in the South of Europe and in the Mediterranean sea.

As stated above, it is considered that the beginning of the First world war falls on the 28th of June 1914 when a Serbian killed heir to the throne Franz. Interested in the outcome of war  Germany incited the Hungarian government to present the ultimatum to Serbia, which allegedly infringe on its sovereignty. The ultimatum coincides with the mass strikes in St Petersburg. Here came the President of France to push for war on Russia. In turn, Russia advised Serbia to comply with the ultimatum, however on 15 July Austria had declared war on Serbia. This was the beginning of the First world war.

At the same time, the mobilization was announced in Russia However, Germany requested the repeal of these measures. But the tsarist government refused to comply, so on July 21 Germany had declared Russia war.

In the coming days the war come the principal States of Europe. So, on July 18 the war enters France – the main ally of Russia, and then England declares war on Germany. Italy decided to declare neutrality.

You could say that the war instantly becomes pan-European, and later world.

The Beginning of the First world war can be characterized by the attack of German troops of the army of France. In response, Russia introduced the two armies on the offensive to capture East Prussia. The offensive started successfully, for 7 August, the Russian army won a victory in the battle of Gaminama. Soon, however, the Russian army fell into the trap and was destroyed by the Germans. Thus was destroyed the best part of the Russian army. The rest  has been forced to retreat under pressure of the enemy. It should be said that these events helped the French to defeat the Germans in battle on the river Marne.

It is Necessary to note the role of the Galician battle during the war. In 1914 Hilili was a major battle between Austrian and Russian parts. The battle went twenty-one days. At first the Russian army is very difficult to withstand the pressure of the enemy, but soon the troops went on the offensive, and the Austrian forces had to retreat. Thus, the Galician battle ended in the complete defeat of the Austro-Hungarian troops until the end of the war, Austria was unable to recover from such a blow.

Thus, the beginning of the First world war falls on 1914. It lasted four years, it was attended by 3/4 of the population of the Earth. Because of the war disappeared four great empires: the Austro-Hungarian, Russian, German and Ottoman. Was lost almost twelve million people, taking into account civilians, and fifty-five million were wounded.
