first

of all let's get this out of the way. Grindelwald was not part of the

first

. Wizarding War began its own campaign in Europe to collect the Deathly Hallows and expose wizards to Muggles. His goal was for wizards to rule over Muggles. This was all something separate and is known as the global

wizarding

war, which is what's fantastic. The beast movies focus on and that started in 1910 and continued until 1945.

I will explain how that war is intertwined with the first

wizarding

war as we go, the roots of the first wizarding wars begin with Tom Riddle aka Lord Voldemort , who is the key to everything was born in 1926 but let's fast forward to his time at Hogwarts Tom went to Hogwarts in 1938 and in his second year in 1939 Tom gathered a group of Slytherin students who were a mix of weaklings looking for protection. ambitious ones seeking glory and the bullies seeking a leader who could show them more refined cruelty. The members of this gang, who were all from wealthy pureblood families, were involved in a number of unpleasant incidents during their school years, although Tom was careful to never be involved. associated with any crime and was seen as a model student, he first became prefect during his fifth year in 1942 and then in 1944, in his seventh year, he became headmaster.

Dumbledore seemed to be the only person who saw through Tom's manipulative charm and kept a close eye on him and keep their relationship in mind because their relationship is a key factor in this war during Riddle's time at school, he took the name Lord Voldemort, although only those closest to him knew about this name change, meanwhile, his

entire

Slytherin gang. He took the name of the Walpurgis Knights while at school. Voldemort saw Dumbledore's true power during his last year at Hogwarts in 1945 when Dumbledore finally went into action to help stop the global wizarding war and dueled and defeated Grindelwald, locked Grindelwald in his own prison and the Wizarding World War finally ended, this brought peace to the wizarding world for years, although Voldemort knew this would not last long with the plans he had in mind.

Dumbledore had acquired the Elder Wand after defeating his previous teacher and his ex. -friend in a duel to gain his loyalty, although fighting Grindelwald was not easy for him as he had a very passionate and complicated relationship with Grindelwald. This is the clear line where the global wizarding war intertwines with the first wizarding war and, as we all know, this will also later connect with the Second Wizarding War, when Voldemort went after the elder wand and crossed paths with Grindelwald in 1998. , dating back to 1943, although Voldemort made horcruxes in his final years at Hogwarts and after graduating in 1945, Voldemort began collecting more. items to make more horcruxes and he did it from 1945 to 1971 first using what the grand lady told him to find the Ravenclaw diadem in Albania and he did it from 1945 to 1949 then he searched for more objects through his work in Borgin and Berks. which he got around 1950 and here, with this job, he captivated a lady named Tapsuba Smith for a good 11 years until he finally killed her in 1961.

He took her most prized possessions for his horcruxes and framed her house for the murder after that Voldemort. he disappeared for 10 years from 1961 to 1971 rewinding to 1959 sirius black and peter pettigrew were born and a few months later, in 1960, james

remus lupine lily evans and severus snape were also born and later in their lives they would play a great role in the first wizarding war a lot of things happened while Voldemort disappeared during those 10 years leading up to the war. Navi Leach became Minister for Magic in 1962 and was the first Muggle-born Minister and his appointment caused much controversy.

He especially uproared the ministry's older, full-blooded workers, many of whom resigned in protest, something that divided the ministry and weakened it greatly. Leech left office in 1968 after contracting a mysterious illness and Draco Malfoy's grandfather was believed to have poisoned him in The outcry over his Muggle-born status and Leech died shortly after having this corruption and everything that happens behind it. scene further weakened the ministry, making it even easier for Voldemort to attack and take advantage of this chaos when he returned during the time. where it seemed as if Voldemort had fallen off the face of the earth from 1961 to 1971 he explored the dark arts by studying extensively the darkest and rarest branches of magic.

He also interacted with many dark wizards who he realized were very loyal to him. He would continue to combine the Walpurgis Knights from his days at Hogwarts and combine them with the dark wizards he met during his time away and they would drop the name Walpurgis Knights and they would all use the same title of Death Eaters forming a large group of followers of As soon as Voldemort came out of hiding in 1971, 10 years after killing Habsaba Smith, he had now officially abandoned the name Tom Riddle and was Lord Voldemort to everyone, not just his followers, although almost everyone in the wizarding world.

They would be so terrified of him. who refused to say his name calling him he who must not be named or you know who instead the first thing Voldemort did after returning was ask Dumbledore for a job as a professor of defense against the dark arts at Hogwarts, his hope was to use this job to recruit an army of students but Dumbledore refused to give him the job. The first wizarding war officially began around 1971. He told his Death Eaters that to truly create a world of peace and power, the old regime must be overthrown at any cost and in truth, only those who shared pure blood and the same idealism as he could live and prosper in this new world.

However, Voldemort had little interest in political idealism, he was completely dedicated to accumulating his own magical power and becoming the most powerful and skilled wizards who ever lived in 1971, the same year Voldemort returned and started the first wizarding war. james

sirius black remus lupine peter pettigrew severus snape and lily evans began their first year at hogwarts snip quickly became friends with slytherin students who were interested in dark magic and worshiping the new tyrant lord voldemort james sirius remus and peter became very good friends and they were snape's enemies james and sirius bullied snape a lot and snape returned the favor but james and sirius were usually the ones who came out laughing something that would shape their future and future decisions that would play an important role in the first wizarding war, although not They had no idea about this at the time after being denied the job of defending against the dark arts, Voldemort realized that he had to raise an army in a different place.

In this way, from 1971 to 1973 he recruited many of the beings and creatures that had been marginalized by the normal magical world, such as the giant werewolves, a good number of dementors, but not all, and the acromantula, just to name a few. , this army of rejected beings. With his Death Eaters they caused widespread destruction in chaotic incidents that constituted the early years of the war in the early 1970s, as Voldemort's army grew. Dumbledore realized that he needed an army of his own and he too formed an army in the early 1970s. Dumbledore had to keep this a secret because it was not an official Ministry of Magic Resistance, but orders from the Ministry of Magic like Madamudi joined in to Help the powerful old wizard stop or at least control the growing threat of Voldemort.

The good thing was that the ministry worked much better with the order than in the second wizarding war. Other known members of the order of the phoenix for this war were later Albus's younger brother, lady figg a squib, who would later live on the same street as him, alice dursley and frank longbottom, who were also auras, mondungus fletcher, Hagrid, Fabian and Gideon Pruitt, who were actually Molly Weasley's brothers, there were also several others, most of whom had crossed paths with Dumbledore at some point in their lives and all of whom respected and trusted him. their lives, which is why they joined him because the royal ministers of magic weren't doing a great job during this time, which made the search for Voldemort much easier.

Eugenia Jenkins was the minister when Voldemort first returned in 1971, but before that, in 1968, she had to deal with firecracker riots that only further worsened the rift between pureblood supremacists and those with less pureblood when the two sides of the wizarding world tore each other apart. Jenkins then had to deal with the return of Voldemort in 1971, when the world and the Ministry were already in chaos and after about four years of trying to combat the dark lord, she was deemed unable to meet the challenge that Voldemort posed and was expelled from office in 1975, she was later replaced by Minister Harold Minchum and he forcefully rejected Voldemort.

However, during his tenure there were many protests as various minority groups demanded to be treated equally, but this led to many of the formerly elite pureblood families feeling that their way of life was being threatened, leading to many pureblood supremacists would not join. the ranks of the death eaters give their unconditional support to voldemort's cause in 1976, lily evans, who was a friend of snape, tried to stop the bullying of james and sirius, but snape called her mudblood, ending their friendship and somewhat which sent snape down an even darker path than before at the end of his hogwarts career in 1978 almost all of snape's friends would soon become death eaters and in the meantime james and lily became close and started dating after graduating in 1978 james sirius lupine peter and lily joined the order of the phoenix and meanwhile snape joined voldemort and became death eaters the war was brutal and the order had to work hard as the death eaters outnumbered them by a ratio of 20 to one Fabian and Gideon Pruitt were killed by a group of five dead eaters there were several members of the order who disappeared families of members of the order became targets and it seemed as if the members of the order dropped like flies however they continued fighting and during this james and lily potter who had just married along with alice and frank longbottom all challenged voldemort himself three times, something that would play a role in the prophecy, which i will get to in a moment.

One thing that made Voldemort and his Death Eaters even more terrifying was the dark mark they would shoot into the sky over a crime scene. Paralyzing those who see it with fear, people would return home to find the dark mark over their house and find their

entire

family dead. Voldemort also put this dark mark on the arms of all his Death Eaters and used this to call them to Him, the Dark Lord, he also killed innocent homeless muggles and reanimated their bodies using dark magic, creating an infrared army on top of everyone else. followers and creatures that he already had on his side with his army of dark wizards and dark creatures. creatures under his command voldemort launched an assault on the british ministry of magic with the intention of overthrowing it and creating a new world order run by purebloods with muggleborns killed or kept alive in a devious manner to achieve these ends, the death eaters and his allies.

They began to openly carry out attacks on Muggles for sport and to wreak havoc, cleaning up these attacks, healing survivors, modifying memories, searching for predators and trying to prevent future attacks took up more and more of the Ministry's time and attention. As their confidence grew, the Death Eaters expanded their targets from just muggles to now muggle-borns and blood traitors, in addition to torturing and often killing their victims, which shocked and frightened wizarding society, other lesser magical beings, like house elves and goblins, they also suffered under the reign of terror, a family of goblins even being publicly.

Voldemort himself personally massacred hundreds of wizards, although he tended to fight only those heHe considered them worthy of his attention or too powerful for his followers to defeat. In these encounters he displayed his extraordinary abilities, many of which were thought to be impossible, and very quickly gained a reputation as one of the most powerful magicians of all time, further adding to the confusion and paranoia. Voldemort placed many dozens of innocent victims under the imperius curse simultaneously and forced them to do his bidding, causing even friends and family to be in the wizarding world. They distrusted each other without knowing who could be under the control of the dark lord, this was not the case for everyone, however, under the leadership of Dumbledore, Hogwarts remained completely and totally untouched by Voldemort and his Death Eaters, a great reason for this was that Voldemort feared Dumbledore and didn't dare go near a school one day when James and Sirius were on a mission for the order, they were speeding down the road on Sirius' famous motorcycle while the Death Eaters chased them with brooms. as they sped down the road, however the tycoon police saw them. and tried to go after them for speeding, james and sirius were forced to turn down an alley where the muggle police thought they had them, but when the death eaters flew Towards the alley, James and Sirius used magic to lift the police car into the air, forcing them.

The death eaters crashed into him and james and sirius stunned the muggle police. The current Minister of Magic, Harold Minsham, did a good job of fending off Voldemort and his Death Eaters, even placing more Dementors around Azkaban, but ultimately he couldn't contain what seemed like. as if Voldemort's unstoppable rise to power was replaced, but this didn't change much. Voldemort grew stronger and stronger and the Order of the Phoenix simply could not contain his growing presence. Things got much worse for the order when Voldemort and his Death Eaters were killing. Members of the order and their families left and right caused over 10 deaths in just one week because this senior crouched body took on the task of trying to defeat Voldemort and his Death Eaters through the Ministry of Magic instead of the order. that the Germans made a law.

That being said, the Auroras could now use the Three Unforgivable Curses on Death Eaters without warning. This led to Oars Maddeye Kingsley Shacklebold and Alice and Frank Longbottom undertaking a massive campaign. They initially focused their efforts on resisting the giants, killing many of them with the Killing Curse and annihilating entire tribes until they forced the surviving giants to hide in Britain. Eventually the Ministry began to identify and stop the Death Eaters. Madai became legendary. for his successes arresting and capturing igor kharkharov along with many other supporters of the dark lord but it came with the price of his body losing his leg, having too many scars to count and even missing a piece of his nose and it wasn't just kills who was going well, the magical law enforcement squad captured many more death eaters and they were all sent to azkaban many without trial due to the body's crouching, however voldemort himself remained untouchable both for his elusiveness and his legendary power and skill that no one but Dumbledore could match.

In July 1980, James and Lilly had a baby they named Harry and Alice. and Frank Longbottom had a baby they named Neville in August 1981. Snape listened to Dumbledore's interview with Sybil Trelawny and during this interview Trilani predicted a prophecy that had to do with Voldemort and a baby, Snape however did not hear the entire prophecy. , but he told his teacher because, according to what he had heard, this boy was the biggest threat to Voldemort, it could have been about Harry or Neville, but Voldemort, not hearing the whole prophecy, went after Harry, which in He actually left the prophecy in a stone slave upon realizing that Voldemort was after Lily and her family, however, he turned against his master and went to Dumbledore begging him to hide Lily James, Harry and Dumbledore agreed in September 1981.

Dumbledore offered himself to James and Lily to be their secret keeper, meaning only he and whoever Dumbledore decided to tell him could do so. found the potters and no one else had the chance, however, James and Lily chose Sirius as their secret keeper, but then secretly changed him to their friend Peter Pettigrew because it was clear that there was a rat in the group and they wanted to throw it out. . the rat left, but everyone was wrong, as the pedigree was what fueled Voldemort's information, the anger he had, he betrayed Lily and James and went straight to Voldemort to tell him exactly where the potters were on October 31, 1981, Voldemort went to the murdered potters.

James and went to look for the baby that threatened his entire existence, however, when he arrived at Harry's crib, Lily jumped in front of her only son to protect him and, unbeknownst to Voldemort, her sacrifice put protection on Harry through the power of the love when Voldemort used. the killing curse on the child the protection of love caused the spell to bounce back and hit voldemort instead, voldemort would have died then and there, but because he had his horcruxes he lived, but in the weakest way he was forced to run away and didn't have enough. strength to return to civilization almost everyone in the wizarding world thought voldemort had died effectively ending the first wizarding war his hero was a simple one year old boy who would be nicknamed the boy who lived that same night news of voldemort's fall and The apparent death spread like wildfire throughout Britain, there were monumental celebrations throughout the country and the celebrations were so large that numerous large-scale violations of the international statute of secrecy were noted by the Mughal international media and reported. by the muggles. news, this was excused by the minister at the time, however, he said they had the inalienable right to celebrate, although some people such as Barty Crouch Senior claim the celebration got out of control and became childish and ridiculous.

There were many consequences to this war. and although Voldemort was gone and the war was officially over there was still much to do. Members of the Order of the Oars and Ministry officials searched home and abroad for any signs of Voldemort, but found none, although they eventually concluded that Voldemort had indeed been defeated. and he was dead, many Death Eaters were still at large and considered a threat. Peter Pettigrew attempted to hide because he feared being perceived as a traitor by the Death Eaters because it was his information that caused Voldemort's downfall before he could do this, regardless of his pedigree.

He was confronted by Sirius Black on a London street full of Muggles in order to escape. He cast a powerful curse that killed 12 Muggle bystanders and transformed into his animagus form of a rat, leaving behind a severed index finger as false evidence against his opponent. he left blacks universally perceived as the traitor to the potters as well as a mass murderer, for which he was quickly arrested and taken to azkaban without trial, courtesy of barty crouch senior from 1981 until about 1983, many more death eaters were rounded up and No Snape was raised, Dumbledore gave a personal testimony saying that Snape was on his side and gave Snape a job at Hogwarts.

The remaining werewolves who were on Voldemort's side went underground and the few remaining giants left Britain entirely and resettled in the last remaining giant colony. in the mountains of denmark some death eaters were able to walk free like igor kakuroth who gave people up for their freedom as well as people like lucius malfoy who claimed he was under the imperius curse and didn't know what he was doing many innocent people were actually freed from the imperius curse after Voldemort's defeat, but Malfoy was certainly not one of them, as he did everything voluntarily, others simply used their wealth, power and influence to avoid punishment for their crimes, for example, Lucius once again, Crab Goyle and a few others, many other deaths. the eaters were locked up in azkaban for their crimes and around 1984, whether free or in azkaban, most death theaters thought their master was gone forever, as three years had passed since his disappearance. ;

However, there were some who did not believe this and in 1982, just a few months after Voldemort's defeat, Bellotrix Lestrange, Barney Crouch Jr., Crouch, eldest son, and Rodolphus and Rabashan Lestrange tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom in the hope to get information out of them about what happened to their teacher. However, they went too far and tortured. driven to madness, forcing the longbottoms to spend the rest of their lives in saint mongo's hospital and not even being able to recognize their own son neville again, they were all tried for this in 1982 and the eldest was stooped, who probably was about to be the next minister of magic he got out of the running because of the scandal, especially after everyone saw the cold way he treated his own son, whom he locked up when many believed Crouch Junior was actually innocent.

This is where the timeline of the first wizarding war ends and there was an era of peace in the wizarding world, but as we know the second wizarding war would resume about 14 years later in 1995, the first wizarding war was brutal, it brought death and chaos and affected the lives of many people especially the boy who was nicknamed the boy who lived and who although he was famous was forced to grow up an orphan due to this war on the positive side this war of course shaped to the man and hero that Harry would later become and, of course, go on to be the chosen one. one who ended the second wizarding war.
