World War I: American soldiers enjoying mealtime in the trenches

World War I was a global war that lasted from 1914 to 1918, and originated in Europe. Contemporaneously described as 'the war to end all wars', it was one of the deadliest and largest conflicts in history, with an estimated nine million deceased combatants and at least seven million civilian deaths as a direct result of the war, to exclude the near 100 million deaths that occurred afterwards from disease outbreaks or resulting genocides.
