World War One

Transcript: WW1 started when Countries throughout Europe made mutual defense agreements that would pull them into battle. If one country attacked, allied countries were bound to defend them. Austria-Hungary declared was on Serbia, Russia got involved then to defend Serbia. Germany seeing Russia mobilizing, declared war on Russia. France was then drawn in against Germany and Austria-Hungary. Germany attacked France through Belgium pulling Britain into war. Then Japan entered the war. Later, Italy and the United States entered on the side of the allies. The war later ended in 1918. World War One that lasted from 1914 until 1918 and was fought between Germany and Austria-Hungary, impacted careers because it caused many job losses, it caused a shortage of money, and there were fewer occupations to choose from. World War One impacted careers because there were fewer occupations to choose from. The war took place mainly in parts throughout Europe Shortage of money: World war One impacted careers because it caused a shortage of money. Many children starved to death because they had no food to eat, or warm clothing to wear. The war caused fewer occupations to choose from, because many people were in the war, so businesses were shut down There were not many job's available during the war. The main jobs during the war were: Doctors Nurses & Pilots World War One that lasted from 1914 until 1918 and was fought between Germany and Austria-Hungary, impacted careers because it caused many job losses, a shortage of money, and fewer occupations to choose from.

Tank: was an armored combat vechicle that moved on chain tracks and thus could move on many types of terrain. It was introduced by the british in 1916 at the battle of the somme. submarine: In 1914, the germans introduced the submarine as effective warship. The submarine primary weapon was the torpedo Alliances World War One New weapons of war A Shot Rings out Trench Warfare: By early 1915, opposing armies on the western front had dug milles of parallel trenches to protect themselves from enemy fire.

Transcript: World War One Understanding Alliances the Triple Alliance, formed in 1882 (Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary) and the Triple Entente, formed in 1907 (Britain, France, and Russia) The countries in each of these groups had promised to help each other if they were attacked. Each country had a lot of weapons, and they all had reasons not to trust each other. So what triggered the war? Remember Austria-Hungary? Austria-Hungary sent an official (Archduke Franz Ferdinand) to Serbia as a visiting dignitary. While the archduke was there, he was assassinated. Austria-Hungary demanded that Serbia (the country where the assassination took place) hand over the assassins. Austria-Hungary was trying to "usurp" (overwhelm) the authority of Serbia and its sovereignty (ability to govern itself). Serbia was NOT going to let that happen! One Thing Led to Another... So then, we have the following remarkable sequence of events that led inexorably to the 'Great War' - a name that had been touted even before the coming of the conflict. •Austria-Hungary, unsatisfied with Serbia's response to her ultimatum declared war on Serbia on 28 July 1914. •Russia, bound by treaty to Serbia, announced mobilization of its vast army in her defense, a slow process that would take around six weeks to complete. •Germany, allied to Austria-Hungary by treaty, viewed the Russian mobilization as an act of war against Austria-Hungary and declared war on Russia on 1 August. •France, bound by treaty to Russia, found itself at war against Germany and, by extension, on Austria-Hungary following a German declaration on 3 August. Germany was swift in invading neutral Belgium so as to reach Paris by the shortest possible route. •Britain, allied to France by a more loosely worded treaty which placed a "moral obligation" upon her to defend France, declared war against Germany on 4 August. Britain's reason for entering the conflict lay in another direction: she was obligated to defend neutral Belgium by the terms of a 75-year old treaty. With Germany's invasion of Belgium on 4 August, and the Belgian King's appeal to Britain for assistance, Britain committed herself to Belgium's defense later that day. Like France, she was by extension also at war with Austria-Hungary. •With Britain's entry into the war, her colonies and dominions abroad variously offered military and financial assistance, and included Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and the Union of South Africa. •Japan, honoring a military agreement with Britain, declared war on Germany on 23 August 1914. Two days later Austria-Hungary responded by declaring war on Japan. •Italy, although allied to both Germany and Austria-Hungary, was able to avoid entering the fray by citing a clause enabling it to evade its obligations to both. In short, Italy was committed to defend Germany and Austria-Hungary only in the event of a 'defensive' war; arguing that their actions were 'offensive' she declared instead a policy of neutrality. The following year, in May 1915, she finally joined the conflict by siding with the Allies against her two former allies. (www.firstworldwar.com) What about the United States' involvement in WWI? •United States President Woodrow Wilson declared a U.S. policy of absolute neutrality, an official stance that would last until 1917 when Germany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare forced the U.S. to finally enter the war on 6 April 1917. In 1914, the six most powerful European countries were divided into two groups

Transcript: Canadian History New Laws in school, mean changes One of the new laws the government made was that there should be no tuition. After surveying some families in Ontario, many families can’t afford it. Schools started promoting self-control, consideration, and public speaking. Joining school activities will help students stay on track and promote good citizenship. A Famous Person He wrote the poem "In Flanders Field" after the death of his dear friend. Propaganda In world war one, Canada needed a lot of support from the home front. In order to get that support many propaganda posters were put up (above) to motivate men to join, families to ration food and to grow their own food, and to help pay for the war people bought Victory bonds. These where all the ways people at home could help the soldiers overseas. In result to this support the Allies won the war, thus making Canada known as an independent nation. Map of Europe before and after the war The countries and treaties before and after the war. A lot has changed because in the Treaty of Versailles the allies made Germany give back the land they took away from others, and to reduce their size of the army. Therefore the map of Europe has changed. Timeline - Important Battles of WWI Ypres - 1915 First time a chemical warfare weapon was used (Germany) Somme - 1916 Canadians suffered many losses as they advanced into heavy enemy gunfire showcased the power of a machine gun Vimy Ridge - 1917 Big turning point in war, for Canada. Sir Arthur Currie and other allied forces were able to capture the ridge Passchendaele - 1917 A very muddy battle. shells destroyed dams and drainage systems causing the land to become wet and soggy 9 canadian soldiers were awarded the Victoria cross for Bravery Canada's last 100 days Final Push in the war. Allies choking their supplies and preventing their advances. The US enters the war, and the fighting stops on Nov 11, 1918. Allies Win Armistice World War One came to an end on November 11th 1918 at approximately 11a.m. What happened was Germany agreed to a full surrender because of the U.S. that helped during the fight. November 11 has become an important date where we honor the sacrifice of all veterans and learn from our pass mistakes This is a picture of The New York Times newspaper with the headline "ARMISTICE SIGNED, END OF WAR" These images show you what the trenches looked like (right) and how it was formatted to benefit them in WWI. (left) By: ICE LIU (: Ice Liu April 5th, 1930 Once the war and all the chaos ended, the government decided to change the law of education for schools in Ontario. The Students of Ontario would only stay in school until the age of 16 and were prohibited to work at factories and mines. In 1920, the government decided to change the law on education because of the workers lost at war . Terms to Remember This is a picture of an original copy he wrote.

These things are improving the education system in Ontario that even schools and students are multiplying. “Each day in High School adds $25 to a man’s life’s earnings” – Maclean’s 1925 this was a quote that showed the importance of a good education in the 1920s.

World War One

Transcript: Planes were also used for the first time. At first they were used to deliver bombs and for spying work but became fighter aircraft armed with machine guns, bombs and some times cannons. Fights between two planes in the sky became known as 'dogfights' Airplanes The Rifle Machine Gun The German army were the first to use chlorine gas at the battle of Ypres in 1915. Chlorine gas causes a burning sensation in the throat and chest pains. Death is painful - you suffocate! The problem with chlorine gas is that the weather must be right. If the wind is in the wrong direction it could end up killing your own troops rather than the enemy. Mustard gas was the most deadly weapon used. It was fired into the trenches in shells. It is colorless and takes 12 hours to take effect. Effects include: blistering skin, vomiting, sore eyes, internal and external bleeding. Death can take up to 5 weeks. Torpedo Tanks were used for the first time in the World War One at the Battle of the Somme. They were developed to cope with the conditions on the Western Front. The first tank was called 'Little Willie' and needed a crew of 3. Its maximum speed was 3mph and it could not cross trenches. The more modern tank was not developed until just before the end of the war. It could carry 10 men, had a revolving turret and could reach 4mph. The main weapon used by British soldiers in the trenches was the bolt-action rifle. 15 rounds could be fired in a minute and a person 1,400 metres away could be killed. By: Melissa Estrada :D Fun With Weapons Machine guns needed 4-6 men to work them and had to be on a flat surface. They had the fire-power of 100 guns The Zeppelin, also known as a blimp, was an airship that was used during the early part of the war in bombing raids by the Germans. They carried machine guns and bombs. However, they were abandoned because they were easy to shoot out of the sky. ): Tank Gas Bombs World War One Weapons >:D Zeppelin Torpedoes were used by submarines. The Germans used torpedoes to blow up ships carrying supplies from America to Britain. The Germans torpedoed the passenger liner Lusitania on May 1st 1915 which sank with a loss of 1,195 lives. Americans were outraged and joined the war in 1917 on the side of the allies.

World War One

Transcript: World War One Canada's Involvment The war went on for almost another four years killing approximately 29 million people. Out of these 29 million 9 million were soliders. Out of these nine million soldiers killed in World War One, over 64 thousand were Canadian. Some of the reasons that the war was started was because of imperialism, which is the building of empires. Nationlism is deep loyalty to someone's homeland. Militarism which is the growth of armies and navies. Finally, the assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination in Sarajevo caused Austria-Hungary's declaration of war against Serbia. This caused Germany and Austria-Hungary, and countries allied with Serbia (the Triple Alliance Powers) to declare war on each other. The main countries involved in the war were Canada, USA, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Russia, Astro-Hungarian Empire (present day Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine) World War One took place in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean and the North Sea. Major Battles of Canada The Second Battle of Ypres Battle of the Somme Battle of Vimy Ridge Battle of Passchendaele Canada's Contrubutions to the Allied Victory Canadian tactics helped take the town Corcellette "Creeping barrage" helped win at Vimy Ridge Showedunvalled ammount of courage, gallantry and will power Their ability to raid trenches Unbelieveable amount of valour Canadians did not back down against heavy machine gun fire Sucessfully completed most of their missions The Somme was the most imprtant in tank battle Captured the town of Passchendale How WW1 impacted the lives of Canadians immediately after the war Positive Gaining the ability to have their own commanding officers National pride Greater reluctance to remain subordinate to Britain, leading to the growth of diplomatic autonomy in the 1920s. Canadian women earned the right to vote Negitive Many soliders coming back lost there jobs that they had before going to war. Prices of commodties went up How Canada was impacted during WW1 It gave Canadians pride It gave Canadians a sense of saftey It gave Canadians a sense of nationalism Similarities between Canada during WW I and Canada today The economy was largely resource based (as it still is today) We have the same type of constitutional monarchy based on the British North America Act of 1867. Canada's contributions in WW1 had earned the dominion's respect not only throught the british commonwealth but throughtout the world The First World War ended on June 28 1918 with the signing of The Treaty of Versailles The First World War started on August 4th, 1914.
