SOME NUMBERS 1. 90% of soldiers that were killed were killed by machine guns 2. 1 man in a trench with a repeating rifle = 10 men outside the trench 3. U.S. loses 50,000 in 6 months of fighting in WWI 4. U.S. loses 50,000 in 7 YEARS of fighting in Vietnam

FIRST USED: April 22, 1915 First Battle of Ypres (chlorine gas) Chemical Warfare FIRST USED: April 22, 1915 First Battle of Ypres (chlorine gas)

CHRONOLOGY 1915---To break the stalemate, the Germans use chlorine gas at the battle of Ypres 1915--The British try to retaliate, but the wind blows the gas back in their direction

End Results Defensive Weapons made the war last longer: harder to push through the enemy (Stalemate!) Weapon technology had improved, the tactics did not The horrors of this war will make many people afraid to get involved in another “quick and easy” war again (WW II)
