Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that World War I began in 1914?

Yes. Several reference and textbook snippets state directly that World War I began in 1914, and a history reference places its outbreak and first battles in that year. A few other sources date the war to 1914-1918 without explicitly naming the start year.
