In this online course, the major issues and causes of the First World War will be reviewed, along with a summary of the major battles, powers, and personalities (both military and political) shaping the events and ultimate outcome of this epic struggle.  This information should give the student a working understanding of the basic history of the war and how it helped set the stage for the next tragic global conflict.
The first great war of the twentieth century was to set a precedent for all wars to follow.  Involving nations from around the globe, the world had never seen a military conflict on this scale.  This brutal struggle is known by many names: "the Great War", "The War to End All Wars", "the First World War", and "World War I".  Beginning in 1914 and lasting until 1918, this event would change the face of the world forever.  Fought primarily in Europe, World War I claimed the lives of over nine million people and was one of the most deadly military conflicts in history.
 
Each lesson will examine a specific aspect or historical period of the conflict, concluding with a number of test questions for the purposes of retention and review.  Throughout each lesson, where possible, extra information or alternate views of the events will be presented in sidebars to give the student a broader perspective of the entire ordeal and to maintain fairness to all sides involved.  All battles are presented in chronological order.

Course Description

WW1 battle
Unlike anything that had gone before it, the first great conflagration of the twentieth century was to set a precedent for all wars to follow.  Involving nations from around the globe, the world had never seen a military conflict on this scale.  This brutal struggle is known by many names: "the Great War", "The War to End All Wars", "the First World War", and "World War I".  Beginning in 1914 and lasting until 1918, this event would change the face of the world forever.  Fought primarily in Europe, World War I claimed the lives of over nine million people and was one of the most deadly military conflicts in history.

Much more than just an isolated incident in the history of humankind, the developing political climate in Europe had been brewing for a very long period of time. Alliances were formed, wars were fought over disputed territories, and bitter rivalries were established. What resulted was an epic-scale struggle for the domination of a continent and, perhaps, the world itself. For the first time in the history of warfare, aerial combat was used extensively. The trench-style warfare, complete with artillery fire, barbed wire, and chemical weapons, was unlike any conflict ever seen before. The aftermath of this brutal war would resolve little and, ultimately, pave the way for establishment of Nazi Germany and the next World War.

In this course, the major issues and causes of the First World War will be discussed, along with a summary of the major battles, powers, and personalities (both military and political) that shaped the events and ultimate outcome of this epic struggle.  This information should give the student a working understanding of the basic history of the war and how it helped set the stage for the next tragic global conflict.

An online and hard-copy Certificate of Course Completion displaying your coursework and CEUs earned is included with the CEU Option.
