Rapid-Fire Review of Yesterday!!!• Rapid-fire means RAPID!!• Come up & draw a question• You’re the teacher! Call on someone (be FAIR!)– If they answer correctly/ completely (no cavemen) they get $$ & get to ask the next question– If they answer incorrectly or not completely, you pick
someone else!
If your victim answers correctly,
they are off the hook & can’t be called on again!
– August 3rd- Germany declared war on Russia’s ally: France– Next day – Germany slices through neutral Belgium on the
march to France, Britain declares war on Germany• Long before, Britain had formed an alliance with Belgium

To recap…KNOW THE
MAP!
• Europeans on both sides of the conflict thought the war would be very short
• 1914-1918 instead—“The Great War” or WW1
Back Pocket Info…
• Central Powers: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria & Ottoman (Turkish) Empire
• Allied Powers: France, Britain, Russia– Eventually, 21 other nations would join the Allies
B
Ottoman Empire
(Turkey)
How can YOU
remember
Central &
Allied?

GABO
November 14 – stalemate: deadlock in which neither side is strong enough to defeat the other takes place when
Germany advances an Allied counterattack
The two sides fought 3 years & created mazes of trenches protected by barbed wire
Soldiers spent day after day shelling enemy trenches– Trenches: shallow ditches or elaborate tunnels that served as
headquarters & first-aid stations– Between the front-line trenches of each side = “no man’s land” of barbed wire
Then groups charged (under orders from their officer) “over the top” of trenches
OVER THE TOP, MENNNNNN!!!!!
New weapon was gas: chlorine & mustard gassesClouds floated into & flooded trenches,
choking & blinding soldiers

Most offensives: trench battles were long & deadly
– Battle of Verdun: lasted 10 months in 1916. Germans lost 400,000 men trying to overrun French lines & France lost even more
– In the East, German & Austria-Hungarian armies faced off against Russia & Serbia
If there’s time…..

• Discover Channel: Surviving the Cut, “U.S. Marine Recon” – Marines in training need to be able to pass certain tests… such as hiking with 200lb dummies & kit-bags uphill through tear gas! This simulates a successful ambush… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnwoImblCI0

Trench Battle Time!!!!!
• Get a piece of scratch paper• Don’t have one?... Ask your
neighbor
• Write EITHER the number #1, #2 or #3 on your paper
• Keep it secret…keep it safe
When your general (me) yells “over the top”…launch your offensive & hold your trench! No faces!!!!
Be careful not to cross into no man’s land!… When I sound the fallback alert pick up the “shell” that
landed closest to you… only pick up 1! Keep it crumpled until everyone is seated…
