United States Casualties in World War I

mobilized forces 4,734,991 Killed or died1 116,516 Wounded 204,002 Prisoners or missing / Total casualties 320,518

On November 11, 1918 the two opposing armies called the Allied Forces and the Central Powers declared an Armistice and the first world war came to a close. Never before in the history of our man has a war engulfed so large a region, or demanded the service of so many.

Among the Allied forces more than 42 million soldiers were mobilized. More than five million were killed in action or died of wounds or disease related to the war. In all, between BOTH sides, 65 million men and women were called to service, more than half of them (37.5 million) either killed, wounded, captured, or missing in action.

'World War I' was a war in which many countries fought. It happened in different parts of the world. So it is called a "world" war. It lasted from 1914 to 1918. It was called The Great War or the war to end all wars.

World War I was the first war in which tanks and planes were used. They also used submarines, which were underwater boats, for the first time.

The war started after Archduke Ferdinand of Austria was killed by members of a Serbian terrorist group. This happened in Sarajevo. However, there are more reasons that the war started. It is very complicated.

The countries of Europe were divided into two groups. They were like groups of friends who promised to help each other if one was attacked. If one country was attacked by an enemy country, their friend country had to join in the war between the two. Because of these agreements, suddenly almost all the countries in Europe became part of the Great War.

There were two groups: the Allies and the Central Powers. Allies were Russia, France, Britain and later Italy and the United States. The Central Powers were Austria, Germany, Ottoman Empire. At the end of the War, Japan joined in the Allies to want to gain the German colony in China but Britain didn't thank her for this help; what happened in Asian had almost no effect to the War.

Answer
