The Topic: World War I This World War I project from eduScapes encompasses numerous websites. In order to organize some of those resources, two additional pages were constructed: (1) Battles, Campaigns, & Events of W.W.I and (2) Biographies of World War I. Don't miss those supplemental pages for this 42eXplore project and check out the hundreds of additional websites that are arranged there.   Easier - World War I began in 1914 and lasted until 1918. Fighting took place in Africa, the Middle East, and the Atlantic and Pacific, but most of the war was fought in Europe. Also called the First World War or the Great War, the terrible conflict involved almost thirty countries. Warring countries formed two groups. Allies siding with Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and the United States included Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. They fought the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey. Fearsome battles took place on land, sea, and in the air, and millions of soldiers died. Germany finally made a treaty with the Allied forces, losing much territory and taking the blame for starting the war.   Harder - World War I (1914-1918) engaged more countries and caused more destruction than any other war up to that time. Touched off by an assassin's bullets and a web of military alliances, the conflict quickly engulfed the major European powers. Each side anticipated quick victory, but the conflict lasted for four miserable years and took the lives of near ten million people.   This war involved vast quantities of newly invented weapons capable of inflicting tremendous damage. These included artillery, machine guns, tanks, battleships, U-boats, torpedoes, bombing from zeppelins, and poison gas. The war mired down with its western front stretching across northern France in a line of zigzagging trenches from Switzerland to the English Channel. Neither side had an army strong enough to win an overpowering victory. Life in the trenches was miserable. Soldiers were often mired in mud up to their knees, freezing in winter and sweltering in summer. Rats and lice added to their ever present discomfort. Communication with home was so sporadic and censored that people had little knowledge of the real war conditions. Wartime propaganda spread by posters and newspapers was aimed at persuading people that the enemies were evil, that the war must go on, and that everyone should help by fighting, working, raising monies, and making sacrifices.. In the end after the Treaty of Versailles, some wondered what this "war to end all wars" had achieved.   Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century from PBS http://www.pbs.org/greatwar/index.html This companion Web site provides greater depth to the events, places and figures addressed in the television series.
