Possible Short Answer/Essay Question: 12. Historians identify World War One as the first modern war. This is due to a number of factors like the embracing of the total war, the new mass destruction weapons, the willingness to sacrifice millions of lives for little land gain, having war target civilians in their attacks, and the amount of control exerted by the governments on the home front to put everything into the war. Be able to examine in depth the above concepts with historical examples and evidence like primary source quotes, statistics, etc…

Key characteristics, events, people are incorporated into the scene like a photograph or an oil painting; they are integrated into the scene. IT IS NOT LIKE A COLLAGE! You cannot repeat aspects. Each of the main aspects is identified with either a number or letter that corresponds with the annotations below. You should use historical images you have downloaded from the computer of the actual events, places, etc … to be as historically accurate as possible and also to save time--- SEVEN OF THE IMAGES MUST BE PRIMARY SOURCE VISUALS You may also draw in images and backgrounds to bring the scene to life. Each should be numbered from 1-15, so they correspond with the annotations/key. The illustrations should be in color. You may go beyond the minimum of FIFTEEN for extra credit points. __________B) There should be a minimum of FIFTEEN different historical aspects in the illustration for your assigned aspect: DORA/Rationing/Shortages, Internments, Propaganda/Censorship, Recruitment/Conscientious Objectors, and Roles of Women.
