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.

complete one or more of the following
activities.
-
- What Really Caused World War One?
Examine the websites that propose theories of
why this war occurred. Then decide what the
main causes of the war actually were.
Prioritize them as to their importance and
justify their inclusion. Put together a
PowerPoint presentation that summarizes your
findings. Present it to your classmates. You
might want to design a survey to assess their
opinion before your presentation, and follow
up with the survey afterwards to see if you
changed any opinions.

- Debate Whether WWI Should Have
Occurred. First research the conditions
that led up and precipitated the widespread
warring. Decide which side you will debate.
You may find assistance at another
42eXplore project, Debate.
-
- Read A WWI Tale. You can find
several good books for the First World War in
your library media center. All
Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria
Remarque tells what happens to a group of
German teenagers during World War I. If you
want to read a Pulitzer Prize winning
novel of a Midwestern American's journey to
the front, go to Willa Cather's 1922
One
of Ours from Bartleby.com. You
also might want to read some of the poetry of
Siegfried
Sassoon, the English poet and novelist,
who served as an officer in World War I.
Sassoon expressed his conviction of the
brutality and waste of war in grim, forceful,
realistic verse.
-

World War from The Corner, a quiz
on the background of the First War World.
It's self grading. Examine your quiz results
for a greater understanding of the conditions
leading to WWI.
-

WWI. Many have called this a war that
should not have occurred. What situations do
you see as the most likely alternative? Write
a story that details your alternative
history.
-
- Create A Mural Map Of The World War
I. Show where the major events occurred
and illustrate them on your map.
-
- Write A Trench Warfare Journal.
Read about life in the trenches at several of
the WWI websites. Then, write a journal that
describes day-to-day life there.
-
- Compare Women's Role In The War.
This First World War involved women in many
different roles. Select another major war in
history and compare and contrast female's
roles. Identify similar roles and what new
