Causes of WWI MANIA

• Militarism
• Alliance (system)
• Nationalism
• Imperialism
• Assassination

3
Militarism the over-glorification of the
military
The First Wave of Troops
And their replacements
4
Alliance formal agreement between nations to
come to one anothers defense in times of war
5
Nationalism strong feeling of pride and
devotion to ones country
6
Imperialism - policy by which one country takes
control of another directly or through economic
or political dominance
7
Assassination -To murder (a prominent person) by
surprise attack, as for political reasons
Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Duchess Sophie
(pregnant at time) at Sarajevo on 28th June,
1914.
Their funereal procession
8
Propaganda spreading of ideas or beliefs that
help a cause and/or hurt an opposing cause
British poster depicting Germans as baby killers
Bombers of innocent civilians
Users of poison gases
And rapists.
9
Propaganda can come in many forms
Sometimes it is meant to inspire the home
front,..
And other times to dishearten an enemys soldiers
10
Propaganda is sometimes patriotic
What/who is the subject of this poster? What
details are visible?
11
Propaganda is sometimes humorous
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3

As he actually appears at the front
After 3 weeks in the trenches
12
Propaganda is sometimes a lie
German soldiers are shown executing Belgian
civilians
This never happened, but British propaganda
turned the world against Germany
13
Propaganda is sometime a half-truth in this case
an actual event is its inspiration, but certain
facts are omitted to vilify an opponent.
In this case the passenger liner Lusitania was
torpedoed by a German U-Boat 1200 civilians
died, including 128 Americans
14
Propaganda-Lusitania cont.
But what that little piece of British propaganda
didnt admit was that the Lusitania was carrying
war supplies to England, thereby making it a
legitimate military target. A cowardly attempt
to use civilians to shield those supplies. And
the Germans werent fooled, they even warned us
of their intentions.

A New Kind of Conflict
16
The Battle of the Somme from the perspective of a
British (Allied) soldier
17
Daybreak Sunrise (July 1, 1916)
Hey, kid. Yeah you! Youre one of the new
replacements right? Yes Corporal. Im Corporal
Davies. Well, if your in my unit, make sure to
keep your feet dry.
The trenches are flooded again, but a few of the
guys made a pump so we can get some of the water
out.
18
Getting the water out is a big deal. At first me
and a couple of new guys didnt listen much to
the veterans, but after what happened to Johnny,
we wised up.
Trench Foot
But, honestly, Johnny may have been the lucky
one. He got to go home.
19
600 AM
Im starting to get worried kid. The commissary
just passed out rations and they gave us twice
the regular amount. Thats a bad sign, means a
push is on.
20
By the way kid. Dont be stickin your head out
for a look at those German trenches. One of
their snipers will help send you home to your
momma in a box.
Remember kid that the most dangerous time for
snipers is sunset for us, and sunrise for them.
Whys that. Because the sun rises in the East
and silhouettes them, then does the same to us
when it sets. Snipers are always watching for an
easy kill.
21
Oh, yeah, it works the same way with moonlight
too. And kid if ya smoke, remember that enemy
sniper can see your cigarette butt from a long
way off. Okay Corporal.
700 AM Kid, remember what I said about a push?
It means were are gonna climb out of the trenches
and charge the Germans. Were doin it now!!
Their assembling the regiment.
22
Battle of the Somme
Regiments all formed and ready to go. Heard ol
General Haig is sending 14 Divisions over the top
on this one.
23
Just stick with me kid and you should be fine.
Let me tell ya whats gonna happen. When we get
the signal were are going to advance on the
German trenches.
We call the area separating our trenches no
mans land because no one is there but the
dead..and the dying.
24
729 AM Dont know what the signal is yet kid,
but they said we would have no doubt once it
happens.
25
No Mans Land
It may seem easy so far kid, but dont get
overconfident. See those explosions in front of
us, thats our artillery hitting their trenches.
The Germans are underground waiting out the
bombardment. When we get close to their trenches
our artillery has to stop, or they would hit us.
Thats when its a race to see who can get who
first. If the Germans get in position theyll
murder us.
26
Kid, the German trenches are paradise compared to
ours. They built bomb shelters into um.
And ringdum with barbed wire. We gotta cut that
wire before we can get to um. Many a charge has
ended with machine gunned bodies hanging from the
wire.
27

Rear(view from behind)
28
Here we go kid. Darn, that artillery stopped to
soon. Into the wire boys. Cut it, we gotta get
through it.
29
November 15, 1916
Ive been in this place 4 ½ months, but it seems
an eternity. Now Im the corporal, of the unit I
arrived at back in July. The battle for the
Somme never seems to end. I dare not make
friends of the men I command, they all get killed
so quickly. Who needs the pain of mourning for
more lost comrades.
30
November 17, 1916 Im sergeant now that ol
Davies finally bought it. And of all the ways to
die, trench fever. Nobody knows what causes it,
but rumor has it the Germans get it too. The
doctors think it may have to do with all the
lice. But Im not so sure, everybodys got lice
here but not everybody has gotten sick.
GAS-GAS-GAS.
Everyonemasks on!!
31
It isn't pretty what the gasll do to ya. Those
artillery boys, ours and theirs, throw gas filled
shells back and forth at each other. Most of um
containing either chlorine or mustard gas.
Breathe it in and it burns, breathe it in deep
and itll kill ya. Heard tell that if you get a
good dose you start coughing up your lungs and
it dont stop till your dead.
32
Being in charge isnt all its cracked up to be.
A lot of guys, good guys I mean, cant hack it
for the long-term. Heck I dont even know if I
can. There is only so much you can take til ya
snap. And if you run away from the fightin, its
called desertion.
And the penalty is always death, even if your
innocent. In fact some officers look for guys
to kill to instill discipline before a push.
33
Im not deserting, though, I can understand why
guys do. Its not cowardice sometimes it a
problem with their minds, called shellshock.
They simply cant take the killin no more.
34
Me, I still got some hope of winnin here this
war. I just saw a weapon we are usein in our
attack tomorrow. Itll scare those Huns
(Germans) right out of their trenches.
They call it a Tank.
And boy does it make short work of that barbed
wire.
35
The tanks worked alright, until they broke down,
or got stuck, or got hit with artillery fire, or
got overrun by enemy troops. The Germans ran
away at first, but then came back and captured
most of our tanks.
36
November 19th 1916
General Haig has finally called off the
offensive. In almost five months of fighting we
(the British Army) had around 420,000 casualties,
the French lost about 200,000 and the Germans
about 500,000. We lost 58,000 on that first day
alone. How much longer can this go on?
37
The Great War or the War to end All Wars came
to an end at 11 Oclock on November 11th
1918 The 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th
month
What lay ahead was the Versailles Peace
Conference which all sides hoped would establish
a lasting peace.
But this peace came at a price higher than any
had ever imaged possible.

The Treaty of Versailles (cause of WWII) 1.)
Forced Germany to except full blame for the
war. 2.) Germany lost its Navy 3.) Army
restricted to 100,000 men 4.) Germany, already
bankrupt had to pay England and France 30 Billion
dollars worth of war reparations (payments for
war damages). Payment of these reparations would
begin in 1920 and continue through 1961. 30
Billion equals about ?????? Today.
48
All of this death destruction and what did it
get us A 20 year intermission from war. And the
resumption of conflict in 1939 set the stage for
a war even more terrible than the world had yet
known.
