  3. Timeline (continued) At the Second Battle of Ypres, poison gas made its debut in war when the Germans used it & killed many of the opposing soldiers. At the Battle of Verdun, the German attack the French and attempt to demolish them. Neither side wins, but both suffer enourmous casualties.

The ship sank, killing 128 US citizens & a total of 1198 passengers/crew. The sinking of this ship influenced the US’ opinion… Shortly after Romania joins the war in April 1916, the Battle of Jutland happens and it is a naval battle. The Battle of the Somme kills “420,000 British soldiers 200,000 French soldiers and 500,000 German soldiers all for a total land gain of just 25 miles.”

  4. Timeline (continued) Lloyd George makes the French General Nivelle the new Supreme War Commander because he didn’t like his old war minister. The Hindenburg line, a defensive line from the Germans, was captured by the Allies. The Paris Peace Conference is held. There, members from all around the world discuss things about life after the war. 1917 April 6, 1917 Oct 5,1918 Nov 11, 1918 Jan 12, 1919 June 28, 1919 The United States of America declares war on Germany. The Germans had it coming though, because the US wanted to avenge the sinking of the Lusitania. The Armistice is signed, ending a lot of the fighting. A peace treaty (Treaty of Versailles ) is signed. This document officially ends the war.

  5. Part Two: End of the War

  6. Contributing Factors There are many reasons that helped cause the end of World War 1. One of them would be the fact that the Germans were growing weaker by the day, due to the British Navy. The British Navy cut off Germany’s food supply and materials.
