Detailed Solution

Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
The First World War involved the top industrialised countries around the globe. During this conflict, chemical weapons were extensively employed with machine guns, tanks, and aircraft; thus, it is also known as the first industrial war. Moreover, it was a war like no other before, as fatalities and injuries went up to 9 million dead and above 20 million wounded. The First World War was mainly fought in Europe, though its impact was experienced worldwide. During the war, industries were reorganised to provide items for the military. The scope of the carnage and destruction was enormous and decreased the workforce in Europe.

Moreover, the First World had severe consequences not because it was fought mainly in Europe but due to its devastating impacts.
