Ever since the defeat of France in 1872, France yearned for Alsace-Lorraine back. However, Germany's defenses along the Franco-German border were deemed too strong to punch through. However, it was estimated that the Hapsburg's defenses in Belgium would be easier to break through. So, on March 15th, 1909, France, with Russia in alliance, declared war on the German Confederation and the Hapsburg Empire. On March 21st, French troops invaded Hapsburg Belgium. This was the start of the Great War. The fighting on the Western Front was quick to devolve into a stalemate, with trenches criss-crossing Western Europe from the Netherlands in the north to Switzerland in the south. The Western Front would become famous for it's brutal warfare and the disconnect between the land gained and casualties sustained (for example, during the Brussels Offensive [1913], Germany lost 50,000 men in 1 day, with a gain of 2 miles).
The Eastern Front went over slightly differently, taking longer to devolve into the inevitable stalemate. Historians would later contribute this to a lack of preparation on the German's part. However, by the time the Russian 6th Army captured Memel, German reserves began to come in force, causing a second stalemate. This was much like the Western Front, except that the battles tended to be deadlier since more troops were involved. As the war stretched on into 1915, all 4 main parties began to run into problems. Austria was having trouble with minorities, the many substates of the German Confederation were beginning to question whether the war was going to end in a victory as rebel organizations began to rise, Russia had several nationalist uprisings, and the French population's opinion on the war was quickly souring to the point that armed revolts broke out. In short, the war needed to end. Soon.
The 2 documents that ended the Great War were the Treaty of Danzig and the Treaty of Brussels. The Treaty of Danzig was the fairest of the two documents, and it demanded Poland from Russia. The Treaty of Danzig was initially denied by the Russian government, however, as the rebellions grew and response times were lacking due to the sheer size of Russia, they eventually relented and signed it. The Brussels Treaty was France's surrender document, and it was not pretty. The first demand was reasonable enough, a return of the Status Quo Ante Bellum. However, the other demands demanded that France shoulder full responsibility for the war, and they had to pay war reparations for all damage, regardless of what nation did it, during the war. France, weary of war, caved in after relentless grilling by the Austro-German diplomats at the peace conference. The treaty was signed in a bombed-out building, some say, to show the damage the War had caused. Regardless of why that location was chosen, the Great War was over, with horrifying losses.

I must know which RP it was. Otherwise say goodbye to Hamburg and Dresden.
Because I'll make two new cities in Massachusetts called Hamburg and Dresden.
