The correct answer is "much shorter".

The First World War was a military conflict that initially involved the countries of Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary, which formed the "Triple Entente" against Britain, France, and Russia, which formed the "Triple Alliance". The War went through 1914 until the latter part of 1918.

The United States had remained neutral in the War. However, the sinking of American merchant ships by German Forces in 1917 prompted the country to enter War. American involvement would include the sending of nearly 2 million troops to the combat zones and continue until the end of the war on November 11th, 1918.
