people were told that it will be over by Christmas.
World War I
Purpose of trenches- to hide- not to get killed right-a-way- did not change much for 3-4 years
World War I
How young were the recruits?- More than 9 million combatants were killed- British – over 5.3 ft tall, between 18-38- Thousands of “boy soldiers” were killed,
because realistically no-one had the time to verify that the people enlisting were truly 18
- Patriotic feelings were high and many 15 yr. olds joined.
World War I
• Who won? How did it set the stage for the second World War?
World War I How did it affect the world forever?- At first in America, it was called the European war.
No-one knew how many would get drawn into it. All of the world’s greatest economic powers at that time got tangled into this on opposite sides.
- Deep resentment
