World War I

World War I was a Human conflict.

War
World War I was the first human conflict in which flamethrowers were used. Trench warfare was common during the war.

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 D-Day.

Aftermath
Following the conflict, flamethrowers changed very little over the centuries.

The First World War was known to many contemporaries as the "Great War". Later, this term was used by some, such as Petra Janecek, to refer to the Human-Covenant War.

The Treaty of Versailles, the peace treaty which ended the war, established the League of Nations. This organization was a precursor to the United Nations.
