Bell Ringer!!! Take out your WWI statistics handouts from
yesterday.
What does our acronym “MAIN” stand for?
What countries are in the Triple Alliance?
What countries are in the Triple Entente?
New Weapons & Strategies of War
Objective: Analyze the role of new technologies and practices including
the use of poison gas, trench warfare, machine guns, airplanes,
submarines, and tanks.
Machine Guns Shoot 400-600 Bullets per minute
Very large and heavy
Could not be moved easily
Tanks Developed as a method to get over “No
Man’s Land”
They were unsuccessful during World War One
Poison Gas Very harsh weapon during this time
3 different kinds Mustard Chlorine Tear
Airplanes Multiple uses – Spy, Bomb, Deliver,
Transport, etc…
Were not made very well at the time
Overall unsuccessful in World War One
Artillery Field Guns Long Range weapon – Responsible for
most deaths during the war.
Extremely large
Submarines Underwater advantage!!
Very popular for the Germans
Also used torpedoes and top side guns
What can you prove?.... In your opinion, decide whether you
believe the use of poison gas was justified during World War I (Was it right to use it?).
How convincing can you be???????
