The document discusses the events leading up to World War 1, including a century-long period of relative peace in Europe after the Napoleonic Wars, the rise of European colonial empires that increased tensions, complex treaty systems between European powers, increased militarism due to new technologies from the Industrial Revolution, and the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary which directly triggered the war. Over 20 million people died in World War 1 over the course of slightly more than 4 years as countries were drawn into the large-scale conflict through their treaty obligations and military advances prolonged the bloodshed on both sides.
