Resenting
the increased influence of Western culture and especially Christian
missionaries, a secret Chinese group called the "Boxers" began
attacking missionaries outside Peking. When
a force of 2100 European soldiers was sent to China to intervene, the Chinese
empress used troops to turn them back. As the killing escalated, a second
force of 18,000 European soldiers was sent, forcing the empress to flee, and
making China
pay heavy reparations and make commercial concessions.

World
War I begins. On June 28, Francis Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria and the heir
to the Austrian throne, and his wife Sophie are assassinated in Sarajevo, Bosnia
by a pro-Serbian nationalist. Following the assassination, Austria issues an ultimatum to Serbia that it be annexed to Austria. (Austria had already
annexed Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1908, provoking a Serbian response and came
close to starting a war). Serbia's
refusal provokes a declaration of war by Austria. Russia, a Serbian ally, declares war against Austria.
Germany joins Austria as an ally, although its real target since
1870 has been France.
When Germany invades Belgium on route to France,
both France and England (who were guarantors of Belgium neutrality after 1870) declare war on Germany.
Turkey, which had no real
stake in the conflict, agrees to support Germany
and guard Austria's
southern border and the Black Sea.

In
the spring of 1918 a new and virulent strain of flu appeared at the Fort Riley
and Camp Funston
training camps in Kansas.
Over 11,000 men became ill and 46 died. Within a year, the Spanish flu would
spread worldwide, probably as ill soldiers were transported to Europe. The flu killed more than 22 million people, 5
million in India
alone. About 550,000 Americans died.

In
June 1919 the Treaty of Versailles put an official end to the war with Germany.
The treaty required that Germany
pay heavy reparations, and included a clause that would create a League of Nations, an international organization that
should prevent a new war. The U.S. Senate never ratified the treaty, however,
despite Woodrow Wilson's campaign to support the treaty and his idea for a League of Nations
