Hint: Europe is a continent that is fully in the Northern Hemisphere, with the majority of its landmass in the Eastern Hemisphere. It consists of the westernmost peninsulas of Eurasia's continental landmass and is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the east by Asia. The watershed of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Greater Caucasus, the Black Sea, and the waterways of the Turkish Straits are usually seen to separate Europe from Asia.

Complete answer:
Germany was blamed for the war and was forced to compensate other countries for their damages.

During the war, new technologies were devised that resulted in the deaths of millions of people. The First World War, sometimes known as WWI or WW1, was a global conflict that began in Europe and lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. It resulted in the mobilization of more than 70 million military men, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the greatest wars in history, as well as one of the deadliest conflicts, with an estimated 8.5 million combatants and 13 million civilians killed as a direct result of the war. The genocides that followed, as well as the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, resulted in an additional 17–100 million deaths globally, with an estimated 2.64 million deaths in Europe and as many as 675,000 in the United States.

Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb Yugoslav nationalist and member of the Serbian Black Hand military organization, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, sparking the July Crisis. In response, on July 23, Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia. The Austrians were not satisfied with Serbia's response, and the two countries went to war. The crisis grew from a bilateral issue in the Balkans to one encompassing most of Europe as a result of a web of interlocking alliances.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’ and ‘B’.

Note: After Austria-Hungary attacked the Serbian capital of Belgrade, which was only a few kilometers from the border, on July 28, 1914, Russia believed it was imperative to support Serbia and ordered partial mobilization. On the evening of July 30, Russia announced full mobilization; the next day, Austria-Hungary and Germany did the same, with Germany demanding that Russia demobilize within twelve hours.
