No problem! Here are the explanations for each sentence:

1) The British upper class still thought of itself as the center of the civilized world. World War I put an abrupt end to all this.
- World War I caused a significant change in the perception of the British upper class. Prior to the war, they held the belief that they were at the center of the civilized world. However, the war brought about a sudden and dramatic shift in this perception, causing the end of this belief.

2) In June 1914, the heir to the Austrian throne, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and his wife were murdered in Sarajevo, Serbia, during an official state visit.
- In June 1914, during an official state visit, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, and his wife were assassinated in Sarajevo, then part of Serbia. This event is often considered to have acted as a spark that ignited the outbreak of World War I.

3) Austria and Germany declared war on Serbia in July of the same year. This started a chain of events that brought France, Russia, and Britain to side with Serbia against Austria and Germany.
- Following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Austria-Hungary and Germany declared war on Serbia in July of the same year. This declaration of war set off a series of events that led France, Russia, and Britain to align themselves with Serbia against Austria-Hungary and Germany.

4) During the war, a strong wave of patriotism and hatred of the Germans swept Britain. In 1917, King George V even changed his German name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to an English Windsor.
- During World War I, a powerful surge of patriotism emerged in Britain, accompanied by a strong animosity towards the Germans. This sentiment was so strong that in 1917, King George V, aware of anti-German sentiment, changed his family name from the German-sounding Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the more English-sounding Windsor.

5) In 1915, Italy joined France and Britain. In 1917, Russia withdrew after the Bolshevik Revolution (1917-20), but the United States entered the war on Britain’s side.
- In 1915, Italy joined forces with France and Britain. However, in 1917, Russia withdrew from the war due to the Bolshevik Revolution, which led to the establishment of communist rule. Despite this, the United States joined the war on the side of Britain in the same year.

6) By 1917, the American President Woodrow Wilson had understood that it was no longer possible for the USA to remain neutral. In 1918, thousands of soldiers and convoys of arms were sent to Europe, and the Americans succeeded in turning the war in favor of the Allies, and it ended in the same year.
- By 1917, President Woodrow Wilson of the United States recognized that remaining neutral in the war was no longer feasible. As a result, in 1918, the United States deployed thousands of soldiers and shipments of weaponry to Europe.

Notably, World War I saw the introduction of aircraft, submarines, tanks, and chemical weapons, which were used for the first time in a major conflict.

9) World War I was a terrible shock for a whole generation that had been brought up on high patriotic ideals.
