World War I was not called 'World War I' until the occurrence of World War II. For the people who went through World War I, it was called the "Great War." The beginnings of World War I are very complicated. It involved a tangle of alliances and ties which participated in the vast battlefield. But, basically, World War I started with a dispute between Austria-Hungary and Serbia. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, on June 28, 1914 in Sarajevo, led Austria-Hungary to declare an ultimatum against Serbia. Serbia's reaction, much to the dissatisfaction of Austria-Hungary, was to call up old ties with Russia just in case the impending battle (the Great War) happened. Austria-Hungary declared war against Serbia on July 28, 1914. Both parties called up their old ties and in the intricate web of alliances, the Great War obtained the greatness that it was later known to have.
World War II, on the other hand, began on September 1, 1939 when Germany attacked Poland without declaring war. Two opposing forces were at work during this time: the Allied Forces and the Axis Powers. The Allied Forces or Allies included Britain, France and the United States. The Axis Powers, on the contrary, included Germany, Italy and Japan.
