'''World War I''' was a [[Human]] [[war|conflict]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=undefeated|HTFS|Story=Undefeated}}

==War==
World War I was the first human conflict in which flamethrowers were used. Trench warfare was common during the war.{{Ref/Book|Id=flamethrower|Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide|Page=40}}

===War's end===
By [[1918]], forces were told that the war would end on November 11. However, no orders were given about what would happen prior to that. This resulted in some forces standing down and others continuing to fight. On Armistice Day itself, the fighting was more intense than [[Wikipedia:D-Day|D-Day]].{{Ref/Reuse|undefeated}}

==Aftermath==
Following the conflict, flamethrowers changed very little over the centuries.{{Ref/Reuse|flamethrower}}

The First World War was initially referred to as the [[Wikipedia:World War I#Names|"Great War"]]. Many centuries later, this term was used by some, such as [[Petra Janecek]], to refer to the [[Human-Covenant War]]. {{Ref/Novel|HFS|Chapter=[[Petra]]}}

==Production notes==
The [[Cut Halo 3 levels#Pump Haus|cut ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map Pump Haus]] was originally meant to be set below a World War I-era bunker complex in [[Africa]].{{Ref/Site|Id=DeepDive|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/digsite-deep-dive|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Digsite Deep-Dive|D=20|M=06|Y=2024}}
