World War I was waged in Europe from 1914 to 1918.  It was the first global war in history and the first war to use aircrafts.  World War I also saw the first use of machine guns, 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.  Yet, despite this great cost, the war accomplished very little and only set the stage for [[World War II]] twenty years later.
