| abstract | - The Great War, or The Great European War (February 12, 1906 – December 24, 1909), was a major conflict occurring throughout Europe (and spilling over into its colonies in Africa and the Middle East) between 1906 and 1909. The war was the result of decades of tensions between the major powers in Europe. The war was the most expensive war at the time, and had one of the highest casualty rates in human history. While the war has a variety of causes in the aptly-named "Powder Keg" Europe, the catalyst for the war was undoubtedly the international crisis created from the French occupation of Morocco, a sovereign state in Northern Africa. Several great powers, including Germany and Great Britain, opposed the occupation after numerous colonial crises brought on by French imperialism. After refusing conference to end the crisis, Germany invaded the French mainland and began the war on February 12, 1906.
