Major Theaters: Multi-Front War

Western Front – France–Trench warfare–Stalemate – no one is winning

–War of Attrition – just trying to wear down the other side

Eastern Front – Russia–Russians invade Germany on the east but are beaten back

Page 27: WWI 1914-1918
Page 28: WWI 1914-1918

British entered the war:Naval blockade around Europe so Germany couldn’t get supplies

Germans started building submarines

Page 29: WWI 1914-1918

WWI = NEW kind of War

First industrialized war using machines

New weapons stalemate–Most deadly war to date

Page 30: WWI 1914-1918

1. New types of artillery (huge cannon, grenade, mortars, shrapnel)

Page 31: WWI 1914-1918

2. Machine guns ended frontal assault trench warfare

Page 32: WWI 1914-1918

3. Tanks (originally British – not as advanced as in WWII)

Page 33: WWI 1914-1918

4. Zeppelins (airships; used mainly for observation of troop movement)

Page 34: WWI 1914-1918

5. Poison gas (first used by Germans)

Poison gas attack

2nd Stage: 1917-1918

Page 37: WWI 1914-1918

Sussex Pledge: Germans promised not to sink any more American ships

Why did the US enter?

Page 38: WWI 1914-1918

Lusitania: British passenger ship sunk by German U-boats – 128 US citizens killed

Page 39: WWI 1914-1918

Americans really were

carrying ammunitio

ns and supplies to Britain and the allies

on the Lusitania, despite it being a

passenger ship.

Still, the American public was outraged.

Page 40: WWI 1914-1918
