The challenges of air flight have intrigued inventors for centuries with attempts being made in hot air balloons, glider wings and by imitation of birds. February 23, 2009 marked the 100th anniversary when a Canadian, John A. D. McCurdy, made the first successful attempt flying his biplane - the Silver Dart - more than a 1/2 mile (0.8 km.) across Bras d'Or Lake near Sydney, Nova Scotia. Numerous attempts had been made for many years and finally, with a gasoline engine mounted on the fuselage of a bi-plane - the Kitty Hawk - was first successfully flown December 17, 1903 by Orville Wright when it was launched from a 60-foot (18 meter) rail on a sand flat in North Carolina, U.S.A... Successful aviation history had just begun in the early 1900’s and continued evolving to the present day jet airliner.
The first World War commenced on June 28, 1914, with the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary (the Ottoman Empire) in Sarajevo, Bosnia. The murderer, Gavrilo Princip, belonged to the Serbian terrorist group - 'Black Hand' and there was an excuse, with their German ally, that the Austria-Hungary Empire would now declare war on Serbia on July 28th, 1914.
Germany tried to prevent the war from spreading but on July 30th, Russia announced it would mobilize. Germany declared war on Russia on August 1st and two days later also declared war on France. The German army en route to France marched through Belgium which then caused Britain to declare war on Germany August 4th, 1914. In May, 1915 Italy entered the war on the side of the Allies with the hope that the Italian front would help Russia on the Eastern Front.
The Dardanelles was pulled into the war when the sea route between the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea was closed. Romania joined the Allied forces in August, 1915. Following the 1916-1917 battles at Verdun, Ypres and Passchendaele; Britain and France saw hopes of victory shattered. On April 6th, 1917, the U.S.A. declared war on Germany. On May 7th, 1917 a stark reminder of war on civilians occurred when a German U-boat torpedoed without warning the British passenger liner ‘Lusitania’ off the coast of Ireland with the loss of 1,198 passengers.
Weapons of aggression are developed quickly during wartime and the First World War introduced the aero plane, submarine, tank and automatic machine gun as well as poison gas first used by the Germans in April, 1915 during the Second Battle of Ypres. Britain ruled the seas with a very large, efficient Navy which caused supply problems for Germany. War in the air was in its infancy but some Canadian Army personnel who volunteered for air pilot training found that preferable to the ground fighting. Warfare in the wet and cold trenches resulted in much disease. Machine guns and large artillery guns (Big Bertha) caused death by the hundreds of thousands and much disfigurement of the wounded. As Canada did not have its own air force, our volunteers joined the Royal Flying Corps of Great Britain.
Significant advances in aviation were made by the Allies and in Germany, but still very much experimental. The British flew Nieuports and Sopwith Dolphins.
In 1915, Germany built the Junkers J 1, which was the first all-metal body and cantilever wings and then built the Fokker D V11 in 1918. It was known for its climbing ability; then there was the red Albatros and Jagdstaffel 11. The German fighter pilot ace Baron Manfred von Richthofen and Canada's 'Billy' Bishop V.C., were equal rivals. 'Billy' Barker, V.C. of Dauphin, Manitoba was honored by Bishop when he said "Barker is the greatest pilot … ever".
The Allied armies won major victories on all fronts in 1918 and Britain's naval blockade had nearly starved the German civilians who then demanded peace. Kaiser Wilhelm gave up his throne on November 9th, 1918 and fled the Netherlands. On November 11th, 1918, the German Army accepted the armistice terms demanded by the Allies.
The young men of the former Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Services, who joined in mid-war as the R.A.F fliers, had now come home from overseas to Canada. In twos and threes and fives and tens they slipped quietly into town; unhonoured, no, but unsung.
During this period, (1932-39) Germany began to re-arm and build-up it’s military. Canada’s air force was a very small (perhaps 500 people) with badly outdated equipment. It was only through extreme enthusiasm in 1939 that the Canadian Air Force was revived.
The war spread throughout Europe, Africa and Asia similar to the events of the First World War. During the years 1939-45, it is estimated that over 60 million people died worldwide as a direct result of war. It is often said that the Second World War was simply a continuation of the First World War as the early conflict was not concluded properly giving rise to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

Answer:
Owns THIS
Hope it helps
It's of 1 minute
Pls mark me as Brainliest
Explanation:
During the 1900s there were two terrible wars called the World Wars.
World War 1 lasted for 4 years and World War 2 for 6 years
Adding the casualties of both the wars approximately 152 million people died and many more were wounded and traumatised for life
Why? Why did all of this happen?
Because the Nazis thought that some communities were inhuman
Or because of the thirst for land and power
I’d say both and more
World war one was called “THE WAR TO END ALL WARS”
It didn’t end
Not 21 years later we had one more World war, more destructive than the previous!!
In fact even now, in 2021, 107 years from the start of world war one, war is going on.
During world war, II Genocide and war became two sides of the same coin
Some races were considered undesirable, they were herded like cattle and killed
The Jewish community had the worst of it
The jews were tyrannized to an extent that they dreamed of their deaths many times before they even reached the gas chambers.
Thank you
