  2. TOPIC: Reasons for War in 1914 OBJECTIVES: 1. Explain the early causes of WWI. 2. Identify the alliances and concerns of each main power. KD ANSWERS: 1. Two things increasing in Europe by 1914: Tension between the main European powers Military build up - Militarism ( the practice of building up military capabilities in order to prepare for war.) 3. Alliance - an agreement between countries to help defend one another. Countries form alliances if they have common enemies or common interests. 4. Identify the key alliances formed before WWI. p. 12 Triple Ententewith Britain, France and Russia (1907) Triple Alliancewith Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary (1882) 5. Colour in the map and the key. Cut it out and paste it into your exercise book. 6. Main concerns each of the main WWI powers:

  5. TOPIC: Expecting War - The Spark - Plans for War OBJECTIVES: 3. Predict whether war was expected in Europe. 4. Identify the chronology of events that began WWI. WARM UP / SKILLS PRACTICE: 2. War was not expected in Britain by 1914. Do you agree or disagree? Explain (prove it, give examples, QTS). (5) Use the paragraph and sources 2, 3, 4 - p. 13 I disagree with this statement. On page 13 it says Anti- German feelings had been building up in Britain. In source 2 it says that, “Germany is deliberately preparing to destroy the British empire.” This quote proves that war was expected. Source 3 explains that, “England and Germany are bound to fight.” Also in source 4 it says, “the chances of war are increasing.” All of these examples prove that war was expected in Britain.

  14. Movement TOPIC: British and German Plans for Victory OBJECTIVES: 5. Describe why Germany’s invasion of Belgium was a big deal. 6. Identify the general predictions about the war. The British Plan for War: 2. Study pages 16 and 17. a) The British Plan depended on SPEED and _____________. b) The BEF was the British Expeditionary Force (Special Forces). c) The British Plan hoped that: 1st - The BEF could race across the English Channel and capture the ports along Belgium and France before the Germans. 2nd - The British hoped to stop the German advance and out-number them with French and Russian support.
  15. German Plan: The German Plan for winning WWI was called the Schlieffen Plan. 1st - It depended on SPEED and MOVMENT. 2nd – Invade France through NEUTRAL Belgium. 3rd – Capture Paris in 6 weeks. 4th – Capture the Belgian and French ports along the English Channel and stop the British. 5th – Germans did NOT expect the Russians to get organised very quickly. The Germans could then focus on fighting in the Western Front against the French and British. The Germans planned to avoid fighting a TWO Front war simultaneously.

  18. TOPIC:Recruitment Propaganda OBJECTIVES: 19 Explain how and why the British used an aggressive poster campaign (propaganda) during WWI. 2. The trenches extend from the English Channel to the border of Switzerland. 3. Propaganda– limited, often biased information which is spread about to persuade people to support certain ideas or government policies. 6. Purpose of advertising: 7. Yes, those feelings of excitement are supported on page 20. The government wanted 100,000 soldiers and 750,000 signed up. This proves that men were eager about joining since so many more signed up than expected. 8. The four main types of propaganda were pamphlets, posters, newspaper reportsand advertisements. These types of propaganda showed the war was ajust war, thatGermanywas evil, that Britainwould beat Germany and that soldiers would feel proud.

  37. TOPIC:New Weapons of WWI KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT: 2. Gas attack launched: 1) Release the Gas and let the wind blow it onto your enemy 2) Pack it into artillery shells and fire them at your enemy Gas attack so dangerous: The wind could change direction and blow the gas back onto your own trench. Leaks from cylinders were common. 3. Source 3, p. 49 - mustard gas so effective: 1) It had no smell and therefore could NOT be detected easily. 2) It killed, blinded, maimed or blistered the enemy. 3) It had a delayed action, so many soldiers removed gas masks before the gas threat was gone. 4) Mustard Gas is heavy and sinks to the lowest point.
  38. New Weapons of World War One: 4. First tanks to be used: They would advance on the enemy smashing obstructions (barbed wire). Their armour protected them from enemy machine gun fire.

WONDERFUL – use the advantages above to show their potential TERRIBLE – Crowded with a crew of 8 men The engine gave off strong fumes It was incredibly hot (38º) There were hot and moving parts that could seriously injure the crew It was so noisy that the crew used hand signals to communicate Tanks were slow and ran out of fuel quickly
  40. Weapon Strengths Weaknesses GAS Can blind and kill enemies Can be easily launched It’s inexpensive Can’t be easily detected heavy and sinks to the lowest point TANK Advance on the enemy smashing obstructions Armourprotected them from enemy machine gun fire Sweep enemy trenched with machine gun fire Soldiers could advance behind them and attack the enemy. The wind could change direction and blow the gas back onto your own trench. Leaks from cylinders were common. New Weapons of World War One: 6. Read p. 48 - 50. Make a list of strengths and weaknesses of gas and the tank. Crowded with a crew of 8 men The engine gave off strong fumes It was incredibly hot (38º) There were hot and moving parts that could seriously injure the crew It was so noisy that the crew used hand signals to communicateTanks were slow and ran out of fuel quickly
  41. 2. As the war progressed, how did aircraft evolve? p. 51 – 53 1. Reconnaissance Photos and Automatic Cameras New Weapons of World War One: Aircraft Evolve 2. Zeppelin Bombers 3. Pilots with revolvers and rifles 4. Faster planes with machine guns 5. Fighter Planes (Aces) and Bombers 6. Aircraft Carriers Built 7. Aircraft with Torpedoes attached 8. Aircraft that had a range of 700 kilometers
  42. KD ANSWERS: 1. Opponents of that war are usually treated as cowards, traitors or criminals. 2. The government relied on volunteers but so many were killed or injured by 1916. Many British people were angered to see so many young men enjoying themselves at home while others were risking their lives for their country. The government passed the Military Service Actin Jan 1916, which introduced conscription for all single men, aged 18 - 41. In March it was extended to include all married men too. 3. p. 90 Define:Conscription Conscientious Objectors (Conchies) – men that were opposed to war and joining the army for reasons of conscience.

(15) Evidence A - Captain Smith He ignored 7 warnings about icebergs from other ships. He was travelling too fast because he wanted to set the transatlantic record. He thought the Titanic was unsinkable. Evidence B – Shipbuilders, Harland and Wolff The Titanic wasn’t built to best standard. They used poor quality iron to make the 3 million rivets that held the Titanic together. Tests showed that cheaper rivets became too brittle in cold temperatures. Evidence C - Thomas Andrews He probably made mistakes in his design of the Titanic. Andrews had reduced the height of the watertight compartments to make space for more first class cabins. Evidence D – Californian Captain, Stanley Lord He allowed his radio operator to go to bed at 11:15 and had no radio communication. He dismissed the fireworks signals as a party instead of a SOS signal. The Californian could have responded to Titanic’s sinking and saved many more lives. Evidence E - Bruce Ismay He probably wanted the attention of the world and didn’t make the ship as safe as it could have been. It is likely that he put pressure on Captain Smith to maintain top speed so Titanic could get the transatlantic speed record. He had too many lifeboats (12) removed to make more room for first class cabins.
