World War I was a major conflict fought over four years mainly in continental Europe from 1914 to 1918. It was started due to the Nemesis statue passing by Earth in 1913. (DW: Silver Nemesis) Some of the battlegrounds were Passchendaele, the Somme and Gallipoli. (DW: The Sea Devils, TW: To the Last Man) A million British soldiers died during the war. (TW: To the Last Man) The time-traveling Family of Blood, while in 1913, had warned some people there would be a war the next year. (DW: The Family of Blood)
In 1915, the RMS Lusitania was sunk, precipitating the United States getting involved. (BFA: The Sirens of Time)
The immortal Jack Harkness fought in the war (DW: Utopia, IDW: The Forgotten), as did Tim Latimer. (DW: The Family of Blood) Tommy Brockless also served, and was eventually executed in 1918, when, suffering from shell shock, he refused to return to the front lines. (TW: To the Last Man) Solomon and the older members of his Hooverville fought in "the Great War," (DW: Evolution of the Daleks), as did Diagoras. (DW: Daleks in Manhattan)
Several soldiers were kidnapped by the War Lords for use in their War Games. (DW: The War Games)
The Doctor visited the war several times. The Doctor along with Susan, survived a Zeppelin air raid. (DW: Planet of Giants) In 1914, the Doctor, Tobias Philby and Thomas ended up in a no man's land in France, where they learned of a German artillery build-up and warned the British Army of it. (TVC: The Amateur) The Doctor also claimed to have been wounded at Gallipoli. (DW: The Sea Devils) The Doctor offered one private the opportunity to travel with him, but he declined. (DWM: Front Line)
The Doctor would again visit the war, this time at Christmas, 1914. He went there with Rose Tyler and started the football game between the opposing troops taking part in the truce. (IDW: The Forgotten) The Doctor and Rose visited the war again and put a stop to the Warfreekz' observation of the battles. (DWAM: Warfreekz!)
After the war, an influenza pandemic raged across the world. The Ice Warriors had released the virus to weaken humanity and allow them to invade. The virus killed the Ice Warriors instead. (DWA: Cold)
