It involved many of the world's great powers, which were divided into two opposing alliances: the Allies and the Central Powers. The war is noted for its unprecedented scale and devastation, leading to significant political, cultural, and social changes. It marked the end of empires, the redrawing of borders, and set the stage for many of the 20th century's subsequent conflicts.
