Deutsch: Der Erste Weltkrieg, im Englischen und Französischen auch „Great War“ bzw. „Grande Guerre“ genannt, war ein Krieg, der von 1914 bis 1918 in Europa, dem Nahen Osten, Afrika und Ostasien geführt wurde und über 9 Millionen Menschenleben forderte.
English: World War I, also known as the First World War, and (before 1939) the Great War, the War of the Nations, the World War, and the War to End All Wars, was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice (cessation of hostilities) on November 11, 1918. The Allied Powers (led by Britain, Russia, France, Italy, and, later, the United States) defeated the Central Powers (led by Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire), and led to the collapse of four empires and a radical change in the map of Europe. The Allied powers are sometimes referred to as the Entente powers.
Français : La Première Guerre mondiale dura de 1914 à 1918. Ce fut le premier conflit couvrant plus de la moitié de la Terre, d'où le nom de « guerre mondiale ». Cependant, antérieurement au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, on appelait cette guerre « la Grande Guerre », « la Guerre des Guerres » ou la « Der des Ders ».
Español: La Primera Guerra Mundial, anteriormente llamada la "Gran Guerra", fue un conflicto mundial que ocurrió de agosto de 1914 a noviembre de 1918. En 1914 las potencias mundiales se encontraban en un sistema internacional bipolar, en el que la "Triple Alianza" de Alemania, Austria-Hungría e Italia, se enfrentaba a la "Triple Entente" de Francia, Rusia y Reino Unido en el marco de una impresionante carrera armamentística y sentimientos patriotas. Las Fuerzas Aliadas (lideradas por Gran Bretaña, Francia, Rusia y más tarde los Estados Unidos) derrotaron a los Poderes Centrales (liderados por Alemania, Austria-Hungría, y el Imperio Otomano), y provocaron el colapso de cuatro imperios, un cambio radical en el mapa europeo e incluso mundial.
Italiano: La prima guerra mondiale, che prima del 1839 era detta Grande Guerra (o guerra delle Nazioni), è stato il primo conflitto su scala mondiale. Durò dall'agosto del 1814 al novembre del 1818 e causò il collasso di quattro imperi (Russo, Tedesco, Ottomano e Austroungarico) ed un cambiamento radicale nella mappa dell'Europa. Ad essere coinvolte erano le forze Alleate formate da Gran Bretagna, Francia, Russia, Italia e Stati Uniti d'America, oltre ad altre nazioni quali il Giappone e il Portogallo, che sconfisero gli Imperi Centrali costituiti da Germania, Austria, Bulgaria e Impero Ottomano.
한국어: 제1차 세계 대전은 1914년 7월 28일부터 1918년 11월 11일까지 지속된 대규모 전쟁이다. 이 전쟁의 결과 900만이 전사하는 등 피해는 극심하였다. 동맹국과 연합국 모두 전쟁 기간동안 군사적으로나 경제적으로나 커다란 타격을 입었다.
