the Maestros Of the World Wars....Part 1

The most devastating of the wars that purged the world of it's humanity in modern age were the two World Wars. The First World War which started in 1914 and lasted lasted for four years ending in 1918, had bereaved the World and humanity from it's dream of ever lasting peace and the faint hope that humanity learns from it's constant blood shed of past. Thus the triple entente met the Central Powers to decide who would write the future of the World. the triple entente mainly had Russia, great Britain, and France although another major participant was Italy and America had Joined on later, causing a turning point in the War.
The leaders of the Victorious side:



For Russia the last Russian Tsar (Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov), Popularly known as Nicholus II



For Great Britain there were two gentlemen, who came to the office of The British Prime Minister during the length of the war the first being:





Herbert Henry Asquith, 1st Earl of Oxford and Asquith, simply known as H.H Asquith who served from 1908 to 1916











and then came David Lloyd George, 1st Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor, who served throughout the second half of the war.









for France the most Celebrated Leader had been Georges Benjamin Clemenceau, who was also known as the tiger and Father Victory, the rotund old Man of War.









during the late half of the War, Italy was led by Vittorio Emanuele Orlando , the Prime Minister of Italy and also won the title of "Premier of Victory".








lastly Thomas Woodrow Wilson the 28th American President who led The United States of America, who led the country to the final victory.







The other Pole of the World War , which is known as the Central Powers consisted of four major powers, the German empire, The ottoman Empire, the Austria-Hungarian Empire and the Bulgarian empire. The various leaders of the Central Front were:





The Central powers were led by Germany under The rule of Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert von Preußen, Wilhelm II the last Kaiser or German Emperor






The Kaiser however acted as a figure while the entire war effort and planning were conducted by two of the most powerful commanders of the German empire they were:



Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg, known universally as Paul von Hindenburg







AND




Erich Friedrich Wilhelm Ludendorff (sometimes given incorrectly as von Ludendorff)





The Austria-Hungarian Empire was led by




Franz Joseph I Karl, of the Habsburg Dynasty was Emperor of Austria, the Assassination of his nephew Franz Ferdinand led to the beginning of the War, he was succeeded by his grand nephew.....








Charles I (Karl Franz Josef Ludwig Hubert Georg Maria von Habsburg-Lothringen)









The Ottoman empire was led by Mehmed V Reshad, he was the 35th Ottoman Sultan











Bulgaria was led by Ferdinand I, Tsar of Bulgaria.










Thus were the two fronts that faced during the Devastating World War was fashioned.....I would conclude this portion with two pics representing the Two Fronts....
