WWI Exam
I will collect cheat sheets for 15 extra credit points(you can't use the cheat sheet during the test!)
The Big Questions: If you have questions about the following questions, make sure you see me before the test!
Historians argue over the main causes of the First World War. Many modern historians now agree that there were a number of different reasons for the onset of the War. Name four long term reasons we discussed in the “Seeds of War” PowerPoint.
Versailles
Some of the Vocab:
Battle of the Somme-Mobilization-Francis Ferdinand-Ypres-Gavrilo Princip-Militarism-Bosnia Herzegovina-Lusitania- Alsace Lorraine-Sarajevo-Zimmerman-Schlieffen-Lusitania-Gallipoli
Who were the allied powers?
Who were the central Powers?
Make sure your review the "path to war" PowerPoint and know specifically why nations declared war on each other (example: why did Germany declare war on Russia?")

Grey Worksheet: A global conflict.
I collected all of your work:
Marching towards war
Nationalism worksheet
Communist Manifesto answers
Poison gas worksheet
A global conflict worksheet
Text page 733 (only classes 1-4 completed this assignment)
Here are the answers for the worksheet
1. As the war went on, all the Great Powers looked for allies beyond Europe.
Australia, Japan and India fight with the Allies
The Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria join the central powers
2. The Gallipoli campaign was an allied attempt to secure the Dardanelles, the gateway to Constantinople
Allies lose 250,000 men. They then give up and evacuate.
3. The German Policy of unrestricted submarine warfare shifted the focus of the war to the sea
German subs sink Lusitania
1,198 dead, 128 U.S. citizens
4. The Zimmerman Note was the final straw that brought the Americans into the War
Germany would help Mexico reconquer the land it had lost to the United States if Mexico would ally itself with Germany.
5. WWI become “Total War”
The entire government devoted all resources to winning the war.
Every able bodied worker was put to work.
7. Influenza afflicted both sides of the conflict
Flu pandemic was more destructive than the war itself

WWI day two.
Do the pink Poison Gas worksheet.
Here are the notes:
WWI
By August 1914 the major powers of Europe were ready for war. Most Europeans thought the conflict would be over by Christmas.
The Schlieffen Plan: German war strategy developed by General Alfred von Schlieffen.
Schlieffen predicted that Germany would be involved in a two front war with France and Russia.
1. Attack France, capture Paris in 6 weeks.
2. Race East to attack Russia. (Russia would be slow to mobilize).
Belgian Resistance
September 5, 1914
French and German armies collided in Northeastern France at the Battle of the Marne.
Results of the Marne
Saved Paris, boosted French morale
Schlieffen plan abandoned
Showed that neither side would win a quick victory
500,000 dead and maimed.
The Eastern Front:
Germans crush Russian Army at Tannenburg (Modern day Poland).
Russia is effectively knocked out of the war.
Soldiers build trenches for protection
Eventually, a complex network of parallel trenches stretched 500 miles.
The desolate areas between trenches were called “no man’s land”.
No Man’s Land
Soldiers faced cold, mud, rats, lice, disease.
Battle of Ypres
Germans introduce chlorine gas
Effects: chocking, blindness, vomiting, torn lungs and death.
The city of Ypres, Fall 1917
1916 Germans attack fortress at Verdun.
6 month battle
Over 1 million dead and maimed
Later that year the British attack at the Somme river.
Over one million dead and maimed
Both battles inconclusive
The Tank is introduced.
