The Great War

1. The Great War Grant King Brittany Nance

2. It was "The War To End All Wars,"- a senseless slaughter that set the stage for the bloodiest century in human history.Yet, it was more than just a war between nations. It was a war between what was and what was to be. The "old world" was dying, and the new world had yet to be born. People of all classes and nations saw it as some great cleansing fire that would accelerate this battle and lead to a better world. But, when it was over, more than men had died in the mud of the battlefields. The naive dreams of progress, along with the innocence of the pre-war world, faith in God, and hope in the future all died in the trenches of Europe. -Tony Novosel

4. Conscription: military draft; established as regular practice in most Western countries by 1924 [except for U.S and Great Britain]  armies doubled in size; highly destructive if war came Mobilization: process of assembling troops and supplies and making ready for war; 1914-considered act of war ex.)

In case a Great Power non-signatory to the present Treaty should threaten the security of the states of one of the High Contracting Parties, and the threatened Party should find itself forced on that account to make war against it, the two others bind themselves to observe towards their Ally a benevolent neutrality. Each of them reserves to itself, in this case, the right to take part in the war, if it should see fit, to make common cause with its Ally. ARTICLE 5. If the peace of any of the High Contracting Parties should chance to be threatened under the circumstances foreseen by the preceding Articles, the High Contracting Parties shall take counsel together in ample time as to the military measures to be taken with a view to eventual cooperation. They engage henceforward, in all cases of common participation in a war, to conclude neither armistice, nor peace, nor treaty, except by common agreement among themselves. ARTICLE 7. The present Treaty shall remain in force during the space of five years, dating from the day of the exchange of ratifications.” The Road to World War I

6. The Road to World War I • Militarism: aggressive preparation for war, military leaders drew up vast and complex plans for quick mobilization of millions of men and quantities of supplies in the event of war, feared that any changes in these plans would cause chaos in armed forces; Euro political leaders had little leeway and were forced to make decisions for military instead of political reasons; 1900s-growth of armies; heightened tension between Europe states; armies doubled in size between 1890-1914 *1.3 million men (Russian army) * 900,000 men (French/German armies) *250,000-500,00 men (British/Italian/Austro-Hungarian armies)

10. The War • Propaganda: ideas spread to influence public opinion for or against a cause-before 1914, many political leaders thought war involved too many risks others believed that diplomats could easily control any situation and prevent war-beginning of Aug. 1914 new illusions, propaganda; many people convinced war was justified and believed it wouldn’t last long. British propaganda leaflet dropped into German trenches by balloon: “FOR WHAT ARE YOU FIGHTING, MICHEL? They tell you that you are fighting for the Fatherland. Have you ever thought why you are fighting? You are fighting to glorify Hindenburg, to enrich Krupp. You are struggling for the Kaiser, the Junkers, and the militarists.... They promise you victory and peace. You poor fools! It was promised your comrades for more than three years. They have indeed found peace, deep in the grave, but victory did not come! It is for the Fatherland.... But what is your Fatherland? Is it the Crown Prince who offered up 600,000 men at Verdun? Is it Hindenburg, who with Ludendorff is many kilometers behind the front lines making more plans to give the English more cannon fodder? Is it Krupp for whom each year of war means millions of marks? Is it the Prussian Junkers who still cry over your dead bodies for more annexations? No, none of these is the Fatherland. You are the Fatherland.... The whole power of the Western world stands behind England and France and America! An army of ten million is being prepared; soon it will come into the battle. Have you thought of that, Michel?”

18. The War Questions

19. 1. Why did World War I require total warfare? Many thought the war would be short but many battle losses and heavy casualties showed no sign of slowing and the requirement of more weapons, food, and other supplies drove many countries deeper into war. 2. What methods did governments use to create enthusiasm so war, and counter opposition to the war at home? Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary used force to subdue their populations. British parliament created DORA(Defiance of the Realm) which allowed the government to arrest protesters as traitors, and censor newspapers and wartime governments used propaganda to “brainwash” civilians into believing the war was a justified cause. 3. Which government powers increased during the war? They gained total control over economics. Governments set up price, wage, and rent controls. They also rationed food supplies and materials, regulated imports and exports, and took over transportation systems and industries. By 1926, civilian morals were beginning to crack under pressure of total war. To fight the growing oppostition, the government manipulated society by posting war supporting posters such as one recruiting poster containing a small daughter asking her father, “Daddy, what did YOU do in the Great War?”. 4. How did the war effect women’s rights and the role of women in society? Women now had jobs that weren’t available to them before. Women replaced men fighting in the war in factories producing war supplies. When the men returned they had lost their jobs, 650,000 were unemployed in Great Britain and those still employed had low wages. In some countries such as in Germany, Austria, and the U.S., women in wartime received voting rights immediately after the war and British women gained the right in 1918. 5. Which events brought the United States into the war? U.S. involvement grew out of the naval war between Germany and Great Britain after Germany introduced unrestricted submarine warfare and the destruction of the Lustania which killed over 100 Americans. Unrestricted submarine warfare had been stopped to avoid antagonizing the U.S. but started up once again inevitably brought the U.S. into the war 6. How did soldiers try to make life in the trenches bearable? Both sides produced humor magazines devoting certain issues to defining military terms. The “live and let live” system, both sides agreed to not attack during breakfast or shell the latrines, was arranged. The War

Russian industry was unable to produce weapons for the armies, soldiers trained using broomsticks and were sent to the frontlines without rifles and told to pick up one from a dead soldier. 3. How did the presence of Allied troops in Russia ultimately help the Communists? -It helped the Communists to appeal to the force of Russian patriotism. At one point over 100,000 foreign troops were stationed in Russia in support of anti-Communist forces, their presence made it easy for the Communist government to call on patriotic Russians to fight foreign attempts to control the country. 4. What steps did the Communists take to turn Russia into a centralized state dominated by a single party? -The use of a policy of war communism which was used to ensure regular supplies for the Red Army. To have this control, the Communists gained control of banks and most industries, the seizing of grain from peasant farmers and the centralization of state administration under Communist rule. The Cheka Red secret police began to Red Terror and added the element of fear to the regimen. The Russian Revolution

There has been no discrimination. The challenge is to all mankind. Each nation must decide for itself how it will meet it. The choice we make for ourselves must be made with a moderation of counsel and a temperateness of judgment befitting our character and our motives as a nation. We must put excited feeling away.
