Which global conflict (1914-1918) featured trench warfare and led to redrawn borders and the creation of the League of Nations?

• A. The Korean War
• B. World War II
• C. World War I
• D. The American Civil War

Answer: (C)

The situation described is a hallmark of World War I: a global clash from 1914 to 1918 that is famous for trench warfare, followed by a peace settlement that redrew many borders and created the League of Nations to foster international diplomacy and prevent future wars. The extensive trench fighting on the Western Front defined how the war was fought and endured. The postwar treaties reorganized many countries and territories in Europe and the Middle East, reshaping maps for decades. The League of Nations emerged from these peace efforts as an early attempt at collective security, reflecting the era’s belief that diplomacy and cooperation could avert another large-scale conflict. The other conflicts listed occurred in different times with different dynamics, so they don’t fit this combination of trench warfare, border redraws after a single war, and the founding of the League.
