A New Kind of Conflict“One out of every 4 men who went out to the World War did not come back again”
•The Western Front-German forces swept through Belgium toward Paris but soon were faced with a 2 front war. Battle lines in France remained the same for almost 4 years, a stalemate.
•Trench Warfare-underground networks linked bunkers, communications trenches, and gun emplacements. • “no-man’s land”
Trench DesignsNote: these are not in straight lines. WHY?
Zigzag to prevent enemy from firing down the line.

Trench HazardsSoldiers had many dangers in the trenches aside from enemy bullets.
1. Gas Attacks could linger for days.2. Trench foot (Immersion Foot)3. Poor hygienic conditions4. Standing sewage, blood, and mud at the bottom of the trenches.
Immersion Foot: AKA – Trench Foot“Trench Foot” was caused by too much exposure to moisture and unsanitary conditions for prolonged periods of time.
Trenches were not know for being warm and cozy.
Let’s have us a good look at those Tootsies.
•Technology of war-• rapid fire machine guns killed many soldiers, making it hard to
make advances
•Poison gas=used by Germans, blinded/chocked people•Armored tank=mounted with machine guns •Zeppelins=large gas filled balloons used by the Germans to drop bombs•U-boats=German submarines•Convoys=groups of merchant ships protected by warships

Total War notes
Oops…
In 1915, Italy had signed the secret Treaty of London. In this treaty Britain had offered Italy large sections of territory in the Adriatic Sea region – Tyrol, Dalmatia and Istria. Such an offer was too tempting for Italy to refuse. Britain and France wanted Italy to join in on their side so that a new front could open up t the south of the Western Front. The plan was to split still further the Central Powers so that its power on the Western and Eastern Fronts was weakened. The plan was logical. The part Italy had to play in it required military success. This was never forthcoming.
What’s going on with Italy….
Winning meant total war…•Nations realized that if they wanted to win they had to have total war=putting all of a nation’s resources into a war effort
• Conscription=“the draft”• Raised taxes • Rationing• Setting prices and forbid strikes
•In order to keep public opinion controlled, information had to be censored
• Propaganda=spreading of ideas to promote a cause or to damage an opposing cause
•Women started working in factories as the men left for war•Nurses on the front line•Helped them gain the right to vote
•Russia was having a revolution within its own borders during WWI. •Brought down the Czar•Lenin came to power and signed the treat of Brest-Litovsk ending Russian participation in WWI
•This allowed Germany to focus all its efforts on the Western front….more to come next chapter
Russia
•German u-boat sank the British liner Lusitania•Zimmermann Note-the US intercepted a message from German foreign minister, Arthur Zimmermann, to Mexico• This message said Germany would help Mexico reconquer
territory in the US.•April 1917-US declares war on Germany•The Fourteen Points• Woodrow Wilson issues the Fourteen Points, his terms for ending
WWI and all future wars• Self-determination-the right of people to choose their own form
of government•November 11, 1918-World War I ends with an armistice=an agreement to end fighting
The United States joins the war
Britain : 750,000 soldiers killed; 1,500,000 woundedFrance : 1,400,000 soldiers killed; 2,500,000 woundedBelgium : 50,000 soldiers killedItaly : 600,000 soldiers killedRussia : 1,700,000 soldiers killedAmerica : 116,000 soldiers killedThose who had fought against the Allies suffered heavy casualties as well:Germany : 2,000,000 soldiers killedAustria-Hungary : 1,200,000 soldiers killedTurkey : 325,000 soldiers killedBulgaria : 100,000 soldiers killedThe total deaths of all nations who fought in the war is thought to have been 8.5 million with 21 million being wounded.
