World War One lasted from 1914 to 1918. The Allied Powers of Great Britain, France, and Russia were pitted against the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. Italy remained neutral until 1915, when it joined the Allies. Eventually some thirty nations took sides in what became known as the Great War. The US remained neutral until German insisted on using unrestricted submarine warfare. Finally in 1917 the US entered the war. The next year, on November 11, at 11:00 am, the Central Powers surrendered.
