*Militarism – the overglorification of the military
The First Wave of Troops
And their replacements
*Alliance – formal agreement
between nations to come to one
another’s defense in times of war
*Nationalism – strong feeling of pride
and devotion to one’s country
*Imperialism policy by
which one
country takes
control of
another
directly or
through
economic or
political
dominance

Family Fued!
 Talk about a family affair. Germany in 1914 was led by Kaiser
Wilhelm II, whose mother, Vicky, was the daughter of Britain’s
former queen, Queen Victoria. In 1858 Vicky had married Frederick
III, the son of Germany’s leader, Kaiser Wilhelm I, which made
Frederick and Vicky’s son — soon to be Kaiser Wilhelm II — Queen
Victoria’s grandson. It also made Wilhelm II the cousin of the man
on the British throne in 1914, King George V, who was also Queen
Victoria’s grandson. George V was the son of Queen Victoria’s
second child (Vicky’s younger brother), Edward VII.
 So two of the main combatants, Great Britain and Germany, were led
by cousins.
 Actually, make that three of the main combatants. In 1914, Russia
was led by Tsar Nicholas II, whose mother, Maria Feodorovna, was
the sister of King George V’s mother, Alexandra of Denmark. That
made Nicholas II and George V first cousins. Complicating things
further, Nicholas II’s wife, also named Alexandra, was another of
Queen Victoria’s grandchildren. Her mother, Alice, was Queen
Victoria’s third-born child.
*Propaganda – spreading of ideas or
beliefs that help a cause and/or hurt an
opposing cause
British poster depicting
Germans as baby killers
Bombers of
innocent civilians
Users of poison gases
And rapists.
*Propaganda can come in many
forms
Sometimes it is
meant to inspire
the home front,…..
And other times
to dishearten an
enemy’s soldiers
*Propaganda is sometimes patriotic.
What/who is the subject of this poster? What details are visible?
*Propaganda is sometimes humorous

*Propaganda is sometimes a lie
German soldiers are
shown executing
Belgian civilians
This never happened,
but British
propaganda turned
the world against
Germany
Propaganda is sometime a half-truth; in this case an actual event is its
inspiration, but certain facts are omitted to vilify an opponent.
In this case the
passenger liner Lusitania
was torpedoed by a
German U-Boat
1200 civilians died,
including 128 Americans

Propaganda-Lusitania cont.
But what that little piece
of British propaganda
didn’t admit was that the
Lusitania was carrying
war supplies to England,
thereby making it a
legitimate military target.
&
A cowardly attempt to use
civilians to shield those
supplies.
And the Germans weren’t
fooled, they even warned
us of their intentions.
A New Kind of Conflict
The Battle of the Somme from the
perspective of a British (Allied)
soldier
Daybreak: Sunrise (July 1, 1916)
Hey, kid. Yeah you! You’re one of the new replacements
right? Yes Corporal. I’m Corporal Davies. Well, if you’re
in my unit, make sure to keep your feet dry.
The trenches are flooded again, but a few of the guys made
a pump so we can get some of the water out.
Getting the water out is a big deal. At first me and a
couple of new guys didn’t listen much to the veterans,
but after what happened to Johnny, we wised up.
Trench
Foot
But, honestly, Johnny may have been the lucky one.
He got to go home.
6:00 AM
I’m starting to get worried kid. The commissary
just passed out rations and they gave us twice the
regular amount. That’s a bad sign, means a push
is on.
By the way kid. Don’t be stick’in your head out for a
look at those German trenches. One of their snipers
will help send you home to your momma in a box.
Remember kid that the most dangerous time for
snipers is sunset for us, and sunrise for them.
Why’s that? Because the sun rises in the East and
silhouettes them, then does the same to us when it
sets. Snipers are always watching for an easy kill.
Oh, yeah, it works the same way with moonlight
too. And kid if ya smoke, remember that enemy
sniper can see your cigarette butt from a long way
off. Okay Corporal.
7:00 AM
Kid, remember what I said about a push? It means
were are gonna climb out of the trenches and charge
the Germans. Were do’in it now!! Their assembling
the regiment.
Battle of the Somme
Regiments all formed and ready to go. Heard ol’
General Haig is sending 14 Divisions over the top on
this one.
Just stick with me kid and you should be fine. Let
me tell ya what’s gonna happen. When we get the
signal were are going to advance on the German
trenches.
We call the area separating our trenches
“no man’s land” because no one is there
but the dead…..and the dying.
7:29 AM
Don’t know what the signal is yet kid, but they said
we would have no doubt once it happens.
No Man’s Land
It may seem easy so far kid, but don’t get overconfident.
See those explosions in front of us, that’s our artillery
hitting their trenches. The Germans are underground
waiting out the bombardment. When we get close to
their trenches our artillery has to stop, or they would hit
us. That’s when it’s a race to see who can get who first.
If the Germans get in position they’ll murder us.
Kid, the German trenches are paradise compared to ours.
They built bomb shelters into ‘um.
And ring’dum with barbed wire. We
gotta cut that wire before we can get
to ‘um. Many a charge has ended
with machine gunned bodies hanging
from the wire.
German Trenches
Front (facing Allied soldiers)
Rear(view from behind)
Here we go kid. Darn, that artillery stopped to soon. Into
the wire boys. Cut it, we gotta get through it.
November 15, 1916
I’ve been in this place 4 ½ months, but it seems an
eternity. Now I’m the corporal, of the unit I arrived
at back in July. The battle for the Somme never
seems to end. I dare not make friends of the men I
command, they all get killed so quickly. Who needs
the pain of mourning for more lost comrades.
November 17, 1916
I’m sergeant now that ol’ Davies finally bought it.
And of all the ways to die, trench fever. Nobody
knows what causes it, but rumor has it the Germans
get it too. The doctors think it may have to do with
all the lice. But I’m not so sure, everybody’s got lice
here but not everybody has gotten sick.
GAS-GAS-GAS…….
Everyone…masks on!!
It isn't pretty what the gas’ll do to ya.
Those artillery boys, ours and theirs,
throw gas filled shells back and forth at
each other. Most of ‘um containing
either chlorine or mustard gas. Breathe
it in and it burns, breathe it in deep and
it’ll kill ya. Heard tell that if you get a
good dose you start coughing up your
lungs… and it don’t stop till your dead.
Being in charge isn’t all its cracked up to be. A lot of
guys, good guys I mean, can’t hack it for the long-term.
Heck I don’t even know if I can. There is only so much
you can take til’ ya snap. And if you run away from the
fight’in, its called desertion.
And the penalty is always death,
even if your innocent. In fact some
officers look for guy’s to kill to
“instill” discipline before a push.
I’m not deserting, though, I can understand why guys do. Its
not cowardice; sometimes it a problem with their minds,
called “shellshock”. They simply can’t take the kill’in no
more.
Me, I still got some hope of winn’in here this war. I just
saw a weapon we are use’in in our attack tomorrow. It’ll
scare those Huns (Germans) right out of their trenches.
They call it a Tank.
And boy does it
make short work of
that barbed wire.
The tanks worked alright, until they broke down, or got
stuck, or got hit with artillery fire, or got overrun by
enemy troops. The Germans ran away at first, but then
came back and captured most of our tanks.
November 19th 1916
General Haig has finally called off the offensive. In almost
five months of fighting we (the British Army) had around
420,000 casualties, the French lost about 200,000 and the
Germans about 500,000. We lost 58,000 on that first day
alone.
How much longer can this go on?
The “Great War” or the “War to end All Wars” came
to an end at 11 O’clock on November 11th 1918
The 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month
What lay ahead was the
Versailles Peace Conference
which all sides hoped would
establish a lasting peace.
But this “peace” came at a
price higher than any had
ever imaged possible.

The Treaty of Versailles: (cause of WWII)
1.) Forced Germany to accept full blame for the war.
2.) Germany lost its Navy
3.) Army restricted to 100,000 men
4.) Germany, already bankrupt had to pay England and France
30 Billion dollars worth of war reparations (payments for war
damages). Payment of these reparations would begin in 1920
and continue through 1961. 30 Billion equals about ??????
Today.
All of this death & destruction and what did it get us…
A 20 year intermission from war. And the resumption of
conflict in 1939 set the stage for a war even more terrible
than the world had yet known.
