美国参加第一次世界大战：1917年4月6日
因为欧洲各国对于领土与国界的意见纷歧，加上对其他议题的争执，导致一个塞尔维亚狂热份子于1914年6月28日刺杀奥匈帝国皇位继承人斐迪南大公 (Archduke Ferdinand) 夫妇。就在一个月之后，战争正式爆发。西元1917年，英国轮船路西塔尼亚号 (Lusitania) 遭德国潜艇击沉，一共有128名美国人死亡。到了1915年的年底，奥匈帝国、保加利亚、德国，以及奥图曼土帝国结盟共同对付由英国、法国、俄国、义大利、比利时、塞尔维亚、蒙特尼哥罗 (Montenegro) ，以及日本组成的协约国。，美国于1917正式参战。德国最后在1918年11月11日宣布投降，所有参战国也同意谈判和平协定的条件，停止作战。
Disagreements in Europe over territory and boundaries, among other
issues, came to a head with the assassination of the Archduke
Ferdinand of Austria by a Serbian zealot on June 28, 1914. Exactly one month
later, war broke out. In 1915, the British passenger liner the
Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine, killing 128 Americans and
futher heightening tensions. By the end of 1915, Austria-Hungary,
Bulgaria, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire were battling the Allied
Powers of Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro
and Japan. In 1917, the U.S. entered the war. Germany formally
surrendered on November 11, 1918, and all nations agreed to stop fighting while the terms of peace were negotiated.
