1.What was the "Great War," and why was it called that? Who was on each side?  

The “Great War”, also known as World War I, was given a name that perfectly described the size of it. World War I was the first war in which countries from almost all of the continents were fighting. On one side was Britain, France, and Russia: the Triple Entente, and on the other side was Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary: the Triple Alliance. So many countries became involved because of secret alliances. This war was just the beginning of a series of enormous wars that have inflicted great evil and suffering on our world.
