 **World War 1**, officially called **The Great War** and often referred to as **i34**, was an iteration hosted from 15 January to 6 February 2021 by [[Xethyr]], in his first time hosting. The server is notable for its "Scramble for Africa" event, as well as for its intense warfare that nonetheless resulted in no clear victor. The fighting lasted for a cumulative 24 hours across three war weekends, through which each of the server's six Great Powers survived to the end.
-i34 held the record for highest player count on /int/craft, 251, for over two years (until finally beaten by Xeth's succeeding server, [[World War 2]]). It also holds the record, tied with World War 2, for being the longest-lasting modern iteration -- 4 weeks, including five days of war. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest iterations of all time.((https://intcraft.wordpress.com/2024/08/17/ghouls-ramblings-death-of-int-craft/))

 ==== Italian Civil War ====
-On the first Saturday, the day after launch, a special janny-organized war was held between factions in North and South Italy. This was an ahistorical war meant to settle the dispute over two rival groups who wanted to play as Italy, one led by GavinGoodman, and the other by WarcorpTM and Wendell09. South Italy had a legion of many foreign volunteers come in from various other countries; North Italy only had the support of the Kalmar Union (the merged Norse faction). After a short battle, South Italy won and annexed most of North Italy's territory; Switzerland kept a part as reward for their assistance.

 World War 1 has been retroactively seen as a high water mark for /int/craft, and the culmination of the [[filicraft|Fili]]-[[Onions era]] of servers. Subsequent servers failed to live up to its level of success, arguably until Xeth's second iteration, [[i38]], by which time, 2 years later, the playerbase had dramatically changed.
-World War 1 saw the last appearance of many famous metagroups, including the British, [[Trenchgang]], WoopWooper's group, the united [[TaP]]/[[Voltz]] groups, and the united Strykergang. It also arguably saw the peak strength of the neo-Norse, [[Spookygang]], and [[Domsquad]] (the Swiss), and was the most powerful showing from Strykergang ever, peaking at around 35-40 players online in Paris, making it arguably the largest army fielded by a native /int/craft-born faction of all time. One of the few groups on i34 to go on to greater success was Morocco, who became known as the [[Fleepers]] and became a major power on [[i35]], [[i36]], and Epochcrafts 3 and 4.

-The Western Front of World War 1 is generally agreed by most notable players to have been the largest and most competitive series of battles ever in /int/craft history. In many ways it was the culmination of /int/craft's development as community and as a server, seeing Total War between the community's strongest factions at their absolute military peaks. The determination on both sides to fight at full capacity and to never back down even while facing certain defeat was legendary. The magnitude of this war will most likely never be imitated, and is still passionately discussed by reminiscent veterans.
