WWI Map of Europe• It is extremely important to understand the
geography of Europe during WWI because it goes through a huge change.
• You will complete a map activity in which you have to:
1. Label the countries in Europe2. Color the alliances at the beginning of WWI
• Use page 518 in your textbook.• Do NOT do the backside of this worksheet!• You will have a map quiz Wednesday March
9th!
Trench Warfare• Both sides would dig elaborate
trenches facing each other.
• Result would be a stalemate situation- both sides stuck, neither able to attack because the other can defend so well.
• Men would charge across open fields rushing to the opposing side & be cut down with machine gun fire.
Trench Rats• Men killed in the
trenches were buried where they fell.
• Large numbers of decomposing bodies filled up the trenches
• This attracted rats• Rats were carriers
of diseases, like malaria and influenza.
Diseases and Sanitation
• No proper system of waste disposal
• Soldiers would use tins to deposit waste and throw them over the trench.
• This lack of sanitation caused disease to spread rapidly.
Shellshock• Also known as Combat
Stress Reaction (CSR)• In WWI, shell shock was
considered a psychiatric illness resulting from injury to the nerves during combat
• The horrors of trench warfare meant that about 10% of the fighting soldiers were killed and the total proportion of troops who became casualties (killed or wounded) was 56%.
New weapons in WWI• Tanks• Machine Guns• Mortars (shot a
shell in a high arc over a relatively short distance)
• Flamethrowers• Helmets• Barbed Wire• Mustard Gas
MUSTARD GAS
