World War I -- one of the most devastating wars in history -- began suddenly and unexpectedly when the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austria-Hungary throne, was murdered. Austria-Hungary suspected its neighbor, Serbia, was behind the plot, and declared war against the nation on July 28, 1914. By October 1914, nearly every great European nation had entered the war. However, it wasn't until three years later that the United States entered the war. More than four million American men and women answered their nation's call to go to war. In 1918, at the end of the War, the valiant Americans returned home and General John J. Pershing noted that the Americans' "devotion, their valor and their sacrifice will live forever in the hearts of their grateful countrymen." Indeed, it was the brave efforts of American troops that helped turn the tide in this brutal war.
