Transcript: After many years of fighting, the British Navy blockaded Germany. Because of this, Germans unleashed their submarines, called U Boats, and destroyed British ships. Then they destroyed a British passenger ship, killing 128 Americans. Soon after, Britain intercepted a German message to the German ambassador in Mexico. The Western Front was the line of trenches that were defending France from German assault. The Western front was an important front during World War 1 because it was the only thing protecting France. Winning the War Following the signing of the Treaty of Versailles Germany's territory decreased a lot. This and many other reasons caused the Nazis to come to power and start World War 2. Soon after Germany declared war on Russia, Germany invaded Belgium. After that, Britain and Italy declared war on Germany. Soon it was the Central-Powers vs The Allies. The Central powers were Germany and Austria-Hungary. The allies were Britain, Italy, Serbia, and the Soviet Union [Russia]. The United States did not join the allies until April 6, 1917. The allies embraced the help of hundreds of American soldiers landing in Europe. This really turned the tide of the war for the allies. After Napolean's defeat, Europe endured a long period of peace. But tensions accord in certain countries. These tensions were... After many years of war, the Central Powers started peace talks. On November 11, 1918 the Central Powers and the Allies signed the Treaty of Versailles. The Western Front Here is a video taken at the First Battle of Somme. Sorry it is in Lego. The real life films were really cruddy. By: Tyler Ford WAR!!! Tensions In Europe Sparks Fly in Austria One of these tensions were nationalism. Many people had a strong feeling of nationalism about there countries. Nationalism means that people have a strong feeling about there country. After the Serbs in Austria-Hungary declared their independance, the archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Austria-Hungary throne and his wife were shot and killed by a Serb. Soon after, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. After that, Russia, Serbia's ally, declared war on Austria-Hungary. In return Germany declared war on Russia. This is a Rifle used in World War 1 Militaryism The End Horrors of the War The War Ends WORLD WAR 1 America Enters the War The letter to Mexico stated that if Mexico allied itself to Germany, it would regain lost land in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. This angered President Woodrow Willson, and after the sinking of 4 American merchant ships, he asked the Congress for a declaration of war. America had entered the war. Before World War 1, many countries wanted empires. So they raced to set up colonies in Africa and Asia. Soon, Europe was building up its army and started making alliances. An alliance is an agreement between to countries to help each other during war. Militaryism is when countries build up their military. I hope liked my Prezi on World War 1.

Transcript: Economically and Politically Unstable Germany: Rising to power in an economically and politically unstable Germany, Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist (Nazi Party) rearmed the nation and signed strategic treaties with Italy and Japan to further his ambitions of world domination. World War II begins. President Wilson received strong support when he announced a policy of "Neutrality". He urged all Americans to be "neutral in fact as well as in name, to be impartial in thought as well in action". Wilson hoped that the United States would be able to negotiate a settlement to the conflict. He pursued this goal throughout 1915 and 1916, but without success. The U.S. remained neutral in action, but few of its citizens were impartial in thought. Some 28 million Americans...this was nearly 30 percent of the population were either immigrants or the children of immigrants. Some Americans of Austrian, German, Hungarian or Turkish backgrounds sympathized with the Central Powers. Many more backed the Allies because of common language and culture which bound us back to Great Britain. World War I Pilot Aces Manfred von Richthofen (German Red Baron) Edward "Eddie" Rickenbacker (American) Militarism, Alliances, Nationalism and Imperialism Surrender, Reparations and Psychological Effects Germany (1917): The Germans surrendered and signed the "Treaty of Versailles" in Paris. This document had a clause in it "War Guilt Clause", which spelled out that Germany took all of the blame for the war and would pay for all damages to property in the form of "Reparations". Psychological Effects: Psychological effects after the war did not stop with the signing with the "Treaty of Versailles". Political, Cultural, and Social Order Strategies of Germany's Military Austria-Hungary quickly declare war on Serbia. Germany immediately offered its support from Kaiser Wilhelm II Ruler of Germany. Russia, with a large Slav population of its own , was compelled to honor its alliance with Serbia. The Allied Powers of Britain, France and Russia were up against the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. Italy remained neutral until 1915, the U.S. until 1917 both joined the Allied Powers. Eventually some 30 nations took sides in what became know as the "Great War". Mustard Gas (Poison) Submarines Gas Masks British Tank Trench Warfare Twentieth Century World History Causes of World War l Militarism: The mindset of relying on ones military power and being prepared for aggressive attacks. Having a standing army, navy, for the purposes of defending the nation/country from invaders....Mobilization. Alliances: These alliances were made in attempt to protect themselves from invasion by hostile countries or groups. Examples are: "Triple Entente Countries" Britain, France, Russia "Triple Alliance Countries" Austria-Hungry, Germany, Italy Nationalism: This led to increase competition between the nations of Europe. Imperialism: Which led to resentment amongst smaller European countries References United States Enters the War in Europe April 6, 1917. For these reasons: RMS Lusitania: On May 7, 191 less than a year after World War I (1914-1918) erupted across Europe, a German U-Boat torpedoed and sank the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner en route from New York to Liverpool, England. A civilian passenger liner with 1900 passengers and crew perished with over 1,100 civilians/crew including amongst the dead were 128 Americans. Zimmerman Note: A secret telegram sent on January 16, 1917, by German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmerman to Count Johann Von Bernstorf, the German Ambassador to the U.S. In it Zimmerman, said that in the event of war with the U.S., Mexico should be asked to enter the war as a German ally, in turn Germany promised to re-patriot to Mexico the lost territories of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona. British intelligence intercepted and deciphered the telegram and sent it to President Wilson, who released it on March 1, 1917 to the press. These two events led to the turn of U.S. public opinion against Germany during WWI, and strengthened the advocates of U.S. entry into the war. War was declared by the Senate on April 4, 1917. and the House two days later. www.history.com.lusitnia United States Home Front Prior to World War I and During the War War Reaches a Stalemate World War 1 World War I/Video-History.com www.history.com/topics/world-wari/videos Updated: Feb 26, 2010.

Later on that day Gavrillo Princip was arrested for being responsible for the assassination. (The Gaurdian) During the Great War Italy was very humiliated. Italy seemed to loose a lot of money from the war and had only been in war for three years. The war cost more than 50 years worth of spending from the government, were also suffering a high unemployement rate.Italy didnt take this as a problem because they thought that they were going to get a good reward resulting from the win at Versailles, but believed wrong and were ignored. "Italy and World War One". HistoryLearningSite.co.uk. 2014. Web. In the war there was a lot of new technology used such as: Gas attacks, New Rifles, Machine Guns, and etc. During the war there were pits in the ground called trenches where soldiers would stay in until it was time to fight. They would often fight from inside the trenches for protection. The Allies used 4 different types of trenches. A firing trench, communication trench, support trench, and a reserve trench. These trenches were used for sending messages, producing supplies, attacking, others and also emergency appliances. Another way that was used to fight was a gas attack. A gas attack was when a poisones gas was released to kill the opposing soldiers and the side that released the gas would put on gas mask to avoid being affected by the gas. Gas Attacks were very affective in the war and of course very deadly. http://ncpedia.org/wwi-technology-and-weapons-war http://www.pbs.org/greatwar/chapters/ch1_trench.html Incidents of American Involvement Safe World - "For the Rights of Nations great and small and the privilage of men everywhere to choose their way of life and obedience.

No one had any money, we were all in the same boat. life is hard. but at least, I can still feed my family. 2. How about your farms? Thank you! Neighbors helped each other through hard times, sickness, and accidents. Farm families got together with neighbors at school programs, church dinners, or dances. Children and adults found ways to have fun for free – playing board games, listening to the radio, or going to outdoor movies in town. We make our own food. 4. What does people do to get through those hard times? Some people lost hope and moved away. Many young men took government jobs building roads and bridges.
