WORLD
WAR
I
During
the
first
half
of
the
20th
century,
European
countries
were
struggling
for
control
over
land
and
sea.
Many
countries
wanted
to
establish
new
colonies
in
newly
discovered
territory,
which
led
to
power
struggles
across
Europe.
Technological
advancements
also
attributed
to
the
beginning
of
World
War
I.
New
weapons
and
methods
of
transportation
increased
military
access
to
and
power
in
European
countries.
Soon,
competition
rose
to
be
the
most
powerful
country
in
Europe.
WWI
was
fought
between
the
Entente
Powers
and
the
Central
Powers,
each
of
which
grew
to
include
nations
that
did
not
initially
enter
the
war.
The
United
States
had
a
significant
role
in
WWI,
despite
the
fact
that
they
remained
uninvolved
until
years
after
the
beginning
of
the
warfare.
Wilson’s
decision
to
enter
the
war
was
not
warmly
received
by
all
Americans,
and
many
acted
out
against
the
war.
The
end
of
WWI
signified
a
change
in
international
relations
and
foreign
policy.
As
a
result
of
WWI,
Wilson’s
recommendations
for
lasting
peace
in
Europe
were
adopted,
and
the
League
of
Nations
was
formed.
