Which conflict lasted from 1914 to 1918 and caused significant casualties before ending with the Treaty of Versailles?

• A. World War II
• B. Korean War
• C. Spanish-American War
• D. World War I

Answer: (D)

This question tests your knowledge of a major early 20th-century conflict and its peace settlement. The period from 1914 to 1918 matches World War I, a global war that involved many nations and saw extensive casualties, including trench warfare and large-scale battles across Europe and beyond. The war ended with the Treaty of Versailles, the peace agreement signed after an armistice in 1918, formalizing the end of hostilities in 1919 and imposing terms on Germany. The other options don’t fit these specifics: World War II began much later, in 1939, and ended in 1945; the Korean War occurred in the early 1950s; and the Spanish-American War happened in 1898 and ended with the Treaty of Paris.
