Answers

1) First World War- The football played during the 'Christmas truce' across nomansland remains one of the most recognisable moments of the First World War.

2) First World War - The reason it was named the 'Great War' was because it was the first global war people had heard of. It wasn't until the second war began, that it was then referred to as the First World War.

3) Armoured tanks- On September 15, 36 tanks made a first attack at the Battle of the Somme during a British invasion.

4) Austria and Serbia- The Austrian-Hungary's declaration of war with Serbia was the first truly global war, which began on July 28 1914.

5) Gavrilo Princip- Franz Ferdinand was shot by the Bosnian Serb which is believed to have started the chain of events that led to the war.
