Which years encompass World War I?

• A. 1914-1918
• B. 1939-1945
• C. 1968-1972
• D. 1890-1891

Answer: (A)

World War I took place from 1914 to 1918. It began after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and drew in many nations across Europe and beyond. The fighting ended with the armistice on November 11, 1918, and while the peace treaty was signed in 1919, the war itself is generally understood to have occurred during 1914–1918. The other date ranges correspond to other times: 1939–1945 is World War II; 1968–1972 sits in the late 1960s to early 1970s and isn’t a global war; 1890–1891 is a late 19th-century period with no world war.
