From the transcript

World War I was a massive conflict that took place from 1914 to 1918. It involved the major powers of Europe with Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire on one side and the Allies, including the UK, France and Russia on the other.

The war started after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in 1914, which triggered a series of alliances and declarations of war.

The fighting was brutal, and it was widespread with trench warfare, gas attacks and other horrors. The war had a huge impact on the world, both during and after the conflict. It led to the downfall of several empires, including the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires, and the re-drawing of borders across Europe and the Middle East.
