October 17 exam question 1(50%)

Another term for the Great War is the “World War,” so called before l939 partly because no one could envision a second, partly because of its reach. Although it started in Sarajevo, Bosnia, southeast Europe, it went global virtually from its first moments. Write an essay in which you explain how this was a world war even in its first two years. You can either narrate how it became global, in other words go chronological, or go thematically and give evidence of its global nature—you could write a book on either.
