...there are endless amounts that you can write on that topic.

Because it appears as though you're not really arguing a point, just go for the classic summary type thesis.
However, be warned that the causes of WWI cannot be wrapped all into several little neat reasons. The causes of WWI are far too complex and expansive to reduce. Perhaps this is a point you could consider mentioning in your paper.

For the consequences of WWI, its pretty easy to look at and describe. It can be argued comfortably that WWII was a direct consequence of WWI. History textbooks probably a lot of the aftermath shocks summed up, so you might try to look there.

Personally, I would start off with a historical background, then follow it up with an exploration of the two topics.

I.
A. Historical Context
B. Describe the Causes of WWI-->while bringing up some "big picture" (i.e.- causes cannot be condensed) thoughts. (They should be tackled primarily in the conclusion). The intro is a place to give the reader a sample of the meaning of your paper, and the question you decide to pursue.
C. Describe the Aftermath of WWI. Pretty self-explanatory.
D. Thesis
E (optional). Perhaps some exploration of the thesis.
