In what year did the First World War end?
Explanation
The first World War ended in the year 1918 primarily because of a combination of factors. One of the key factors was the exhaustion and depletion of resources on all sides, resulting in a stalemate. Additionally, the 1917 Russian Revolution had a significant impact as it led to Russia's withdrawal from the war, enabling Germany to redirect its forces towards the Western front. This prompted a series of successful offensives by Germany, but ultimately the entry of fresh American troops alongside the Brits and French turned the tide in favor of the Allies. The signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918, marked the official end of hostilities, bringing an end to the first World War and paving the way for subsequent peace negotiations.
