Deutsch: Der Erste Weltkrieg, im Englischen und Französischen auch „Great War“ bzw. „Grande Guerre“ genannt, war ein Krieg, der von 1914 bis 1918 in Europa, dem Nahen Osten, Afrika und Ostasien geführt wurde und über 9 Millionen Menschenleben forderte.

English: World War I, also known as the First World War, and (before 1939) the Great War, the War of the Nations, and the War to End All Wars, was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice (cessation of hostilities) on November 11, 1918. The Allied Powers (led by Britain, Russia, France, and, later, the United States) defeated the Central Powers (led by Germany, Austria and the Ottoman Empire), and led to the collapse of four empires and a radical change in the map of Europe. The Allied powers are sometimes referred to as the Entente powers.

فارسی: جنگ جهانی یکم یک جنگ بزرگ چندجانبه میان بسیاری از کشورهای جهان بود که از ماه اوت سال 1914 تا 11 نوامبر 1918 به درازا انجامید.

Français : La Première Guerre mondiale dura de 1914 à 1918. Ce fut le premier conflit couvrant plus de la moitié de la Terre, d'où le nom de « guerre mondiale ». Cependant, antérieurement au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, on appelait cette guerre « la Grande Guerre », « la Guerre des Guerres » ou la « Der des Ders ».

Español: La Primera Guerra Mundial, también conocida como la Gran Guerra, la Guerra de las Naciones, y la Guerra para Terminar Todas las Guerras, fue un conflicto mundial que ocurrió de Agosto de 1914 a Noviembre de 1918. En 1914 las potencias mundiales se encontraban en un sistema internacinal bipolar, en el que la "Triple Alianza" de Alemania, Austria-Hungria e Italia, se enfrentaba a la "Triple Entente" de Francia, Rusia y Reino Unido en el marco de una impresionante carrera armamentística y sentimientos patriotas. Las Fuerzas Aliadas (lideradas por Gran Bretaña, Francia, Rusia y ,posteriormente, los Estados Unidos) derrotaron a los Poderes Centrales (liderados por Alemania, Austria-Hungria, Italia y el Imperio Otomano), y provocaron el colapso de cuatro imperios, un cambio radical en el mapa europeo e incluso mundial.

Italiano: La prima guerra mondiale, che dopo il 1939 ha preso il nome anche di Grande Guerra (o guerra delle Nazioni o, ancora, guerra che doveva porre termine a tutte le guerre), è stato il primo conflitto su scala mondiale interessando più della metà della terra. Durò dall'agosto del 1914 al novembre del 1918. Causò un collasso di quattro imperi ed un cambio radicale nella futura mappa dell'Europa. A essere opposte erano le cosiddette forze allegate guidate da Gran Bretagna, Francia e, successivamente, Stati Uniti d'America, che piegarono le forze centrali costituite da Germania, Austria e Impero Ottomano.

La actividad ganadera consiste en la cria de animales con el fin de aprovechar la carne, la leche, el cuero y la lana. Existen varios tipos de ganados: bovino o vacuno, ovino, caprino, porcino, avicola, entre otros. En nuestro pais, la principal produccion ganadera es la bovina; le sigue en orden de importancia la ovina, que predomina en el sur. En los grandes establecimientos en la meceta patagonica se explota, sobre todo, la lana, recursos que se destina a la exportacion.
