By the end of the war there were 9 million soldiers dead, 21 million wounded, 5 million civilians died due to disease, starvation, or exposure. It was known as the war to end all wars because of the great slaughter and destruction. Germany head many debts and when Hitler got into power people were willing to do whatever to get up and running again.
Start of the war- assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914. The concluding the peace treaty set the stage for WWII, though everyone wanted WWI to be the war to end all wars. America tried to stay out of the war; we traded with nations involved in the war. The Zimmermann note sent to Germany asking Mexico to attack America.
