World War I began July 28, 1914 and would not end until November 11, 1918. By the time it ended 15 million people had died. Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany is generally credited with making the fatal decisions that started it. In 1918: On March 3 the Communist Government that emerged from the “Russian Revolution” of 1917 signed the “Treaty of Brest-Litovsk” taking Russia out of the war and freeing 50 German Divisions to transfer to the “Western Front”. This allowed Germany to begin its last-ditch offensive in the west. It failed, and by July the Allied Powers, now including the United States, launched the counter offensive that would end the war. On November 11, Germany signed the “Armistice” ending World War I. Size: 140 x 90 Millimeters or 5.51 x 3.54 Inches. Oversize holder necessary and INCLUDED.
