More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history.  Over nine million combatants and seven million civilians died as a result of the war (including the victims of a number of genocides), a casualty rate exacerbated by the belligerents' technological and industrial sophistication, and the tactical stalemate caused by gruelling trench warfare.  It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, and paved the way for major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved.  Unresolved rivalries still extant at the end of the conflict contributed to the start of the Second World War only twenty-one years later. Major General Carroll W.
