World War I, also known as '''The Great War''', was waged primarily in Europe from 1914 to 1918.  It was the first global war in history. World War I also saw the first use of poisonous gas, large artillery, and armored tanks.  It was a "total war" because the governments involved took control over the economy and factories, giving first priority to the goods needed for war.  Wage and price controls were imposed, there was rationing of goods for civilians, and free speech was limited.  The governments put out propaganda to maximize support for the war and dislike of the enemy.  World War I caused an entire generation of men to die.
