1. World War I was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand when Germany invaded Belgium and France.
ReplyDelete2. Germans, Austrian-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire
3.*Galliopu-1915
> developed a system of trenches
*The Battle of Verdun-1916
> German heavy guns reduced the French trench system
*The Battle of the Somme-1916
> massive bombardment of the German lines that lasted over a week
*The Thrid Battle of Ypres-1917
> british forces set off a series of nineteen giant mines dug under German lines
*The Western Front in 1917
> new campaign was based on new tactics: squads of elite storm troopers, armed with automatic rifles, light machine guns and flame-throwers, were supported with a creeping barrage of artillery fire
4.These events led to U.S. intervention: the sinking of the Lusitania, a British passenger liner; unrestricted German submarine warfare; and the Zimmerman note, which revealed a German plot to provoke Mexico to war against the United States
5. Propaganda justified involvement to their own people, it was a mean of getting men, money, and resources to sustain the military campaign.
7. What interests me most isn't the War itself but the people who fought in the war. Reading the diaries of those who actually fought in the war gave me a better understanding of what it was like back then. It gives you a day to day understanding of what happened when they were out there. Just to know what people were thinking maybe a day or two or just moments before they may have died is very interesting, though not great because they probably didn't live to tell of their great adventures.
World War One was a extremly war that took the lives of inocent men. It was between Germany and France. it was during a crictial time during depression.
ReplyDeleteI learned how the WWI got started. It started by Archduke Franz had been killed. So the German invaded Beljium and France. That's how the WWI started. WWI is the first big war had happen before all the war. They had Made plan that called Schlieffen Plan. So they capture paris and they force the french to Surrender
ReplyDeleteFirst, WWI was a modern war stuck in older traditions. This was the first war where modern killing machines, like machine guns and semi-automatic weapons, were used by a majority of soldiers. These weapons were much more efficient than older weapons, yet the officers insisted on using older tactics, such as trench warfare and bull-rushes on enemy positions, to try to dislodge the enemy. The result: an entire generation of european men were wiped out. The western front is where the majority of the killings took place, so you might wanna read up on that. Freedom of the seas from German U-Boats is pretty important, since that was what got America involved in the war. You might wanna mention that the assassination of the prince ferdinand was the catalyst, but europe was just looking for a reason to fight each other, which is the point you should mention. The treaty of Versailles was important as well, but more important were Wilson's 14 Points, which was essentially America's position on what should happen to Germany after the war. Another thing you should mention is the League of Nations and why it failed to stop another Great War from happening. Good luck and if any of this needs clarification just ask.
ReplyDeleteSomething that i found interesting about World war I is that they was a whole lot if countries fighting which made it into a big war and also that the war had many consequences such as many soldiers died,four empires collapsed:the russian empire, the russian the German and the Austro-Hungarian in 1918, and the Ottoman in 1922.
ReplyDeleteUnder the peace settlement, Germany was required to pay reparations of $33 billion and cede territory to surrounding countries.
ReplyDeleteThere's many things i learned about WW1 today , but the things that stuck out to me the most is the number of people who fought and died in the war. Also, the many consequences that this war caused and the many people that was involved throughout this whole war...
ReplyDeleteWorld War I was an interesting war. It all started off when when Archduke Franz Ferdinand,the leader of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was assassinated by a person from Serbia and that started World War I.
ReplyDeleteI learned that the world war one started becaue the serbians killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Archduke was from Austria so the war between Austria and Serbian begin WW1! A war between these two involve Russia whitch is surbias ally. Then Germany gets involved. And then the big shabam. Ms. Vega is yelling at me to hurry up and eat more COTTAGE CHEESE! =]
ReplyDelete"I am sleepy" World War 1 was to me a power struggle between German and France. Both side was using bad techie by using trenches. The World War I started by Archduke Franz Who was killed. And France won because American came to there aid.
ReplyDeleteHonestly there's not much that interest me in WW1. All of my obsession and interest go into WW2, but what I like about the war was the soldiers dedication to continously fight everyday of their life until it was over. The war was pretty stupid to start in the first place but i can say that i admire a lot of people that have died to save someone else. I also learned how sneaky govrnments can be while all of this was going on. There were so many lies and mistrust going on. So there for the thing I can really comment on are the soldiers... Their the bomb !
ReplyDeleteSomething that i found interesting about World war I is that they was a whole lot if countries fighting which made it into a big war.

*The Western Front/1918 - The new campaign was based on new tactics: squads of elite storm-troopers, armed with automatic rifles, light machine guns and flame-throwers, were supported with a creeping barrage of artillery fire.
4.The events that led to U.S. intervention include: the sinking of the Lusitania, a British passenger liner; unrestricted German submarine warfare; and the Zimmerman note, which revealed a German plot to provoke Mexico to war against the United States.
5.Nations that participated in WW1 during 1914-1918 used propaganda posters not only as a means of justifying involvement to their own populace, but also as a means of procuring men, money and resources to sustain the military campaign.
7. The most interesting fact I learned was the way trenches were used in the past during the war and other technologies back then. After learning how most of the nations invading each others and the way they prepared for it and if they succeeded or not.

Today, I've learned about WW1. It started on June 28, 1914 Serbian fanatic, Gavrilo Princip, assassinates Archduke Franz-Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo. In August 1914,WW1 started when Germany invaded Belgium and France. The United States entered WW1 when propaganda posters not only as a means of justifying involvement to their own populace, but also as a means of procuring men.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned about the war was mainly about what battles went on in the war like the Battle of Liege. That batlle ran for twelve days from August 5-16 1914, and resulted in surprisingly heavy losses upon the German invasion force by a big amount of soilders from the Belgians. It was one of the first land battles in the war. Because of that the Schlieffen Plan was started.

Quote:"All nation have a right to a peaceful nuclear energy"Summarize: In the article president Obama discuss the profound change of the nuclear stance with Sarkozy the president of France. President Obama believes that Iran "has a right to a peaceful nuclear power." Obama then makes nuclear diarmarment a theme of his speech in Prague. The Uranium has enriched to 5 percent but need to be 90 percent. Obama was not informed that Iran already had Uraniun. The (UNSC) members plan on pressing Iran to scale back on it's enrichment. But Tehran doesn't plan on allowing that to happen.Paraphase: Iran has a secret underground Uranium enrichment plant that was discovered. Iran will face sanctions in december, unless they can talk themselves out of the world "profound change"
