World War I: The Final Days and Aftermath

World War I ended in 1918 after several key events, including Great Britain's naval blockade of Germany and the US entering the war. Russia withdrew after internal turmoil, allowing Germany to focus on the Western Front. However, Germany's spring offensive failed, and the Allies launched a successful counterattack. The war formally ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which imposed heavy reparations on Germany and is considered a precursor to World War II.
