The Great War World War I

Illusions Many people thought the war would be quick and easy (on both sides)

Propaganda Ideas spread to influence public opinion for or against a cause

Two Front War

The Western Front Schlieffen Plan Stalemate Trench Warfare

The Eastern Front Mobility Russians successful early, but then pushed out of Germany Russians more successful in Austria-Hungary Italians left Triple Alliance and joined the Triple Entente, now called the Allied Powers Germans went to help the Austrians and nearly knocked Russia out of the war

Trench Warfare Trenches, artillery, no man’s land War of attrition Verdun- 10 months, 700,000 dead over a few miles watch?v=4oabxoP_jVM watch?v=4oabxoP_jVM

War in the Air Spies Attack ground targets, especially communications Air control Hand held pistols Attached machine guns Zepplins

Widening of the War Ottoman Empire joined Germany Gallipoli Italy attacked Austria Lawrence of Arabia- Arab princes against the Ottomans British mobilized India, Australia, and New Zealand to fight in the Middle East Japan seized German colonies in the Pacific Australia seized German New Guinea

Entry of the United States US tried to remain neutral German blockade Lusitania- ended German submarine warfare To break the deadlock, Germans resumed submarine warfare “not one American will land on the continent.” US entered the war in 1917 Psychological boost, more troops, more money, more weapons

The Home Front Total war- a war involving a complete mobilization of resources and people Affected the lives of all citizens

Increased Government Powers Draft Wartime economy Price, wage, rent controls Rations Trade regulations Government takeover of transportation

Manipulation of Public Opinion “War Fatigue” Authoritarian regimes (Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary) controlled the population with force British- Defense of the Realm Act (DORA)- protesters as traitors Censorship More propaganda- exaggerated stories

Total War and Women Workforce Temporary Women’s movement
