    Women took on new roles during WWI, working in fields and factories in France and Russia while also serving as nurses. Trench warfare led to massive casualties on the Western Front. New military technologies were introduced but took a heavy toll. The Russian Revolution removed Russia from the war and established communist rule under Lenin. Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare campaign, including the sinking of the Lusitania, brought the US into the war. The Treaty of Versailles after the war imposed punitive terms on Germany to pay reparations and limited its military, while establishing new states and the League of Nations in Europe.
