Something I learned about world war 1, is that the war started when a group of Siberian extremists assassinated  Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. I think this is interesting because one person died, and it started a huge war that killed millions of people.

In my opinion, I think that there should be a stat day for rememberance day, because we should have a day to remember the soldiers that fought for our country. I also want the day off

In the trenches, the soldiers could never relax because of the many dangers of trench life. Despite what was going on, the soldiers could become very bored. Rats and lice were a big problem for the soldiers. The rats carried diseases and could be dangerous and the lice were annoying. Due to the weather conditions, soldiers could get trench foot.

The soldiers had a daily routine in the trenches. The first thing that they do in the morning is the "stand to" in which the soldiers wake and stand guard at the front lines because dawn is the most likely time for an attack. Once they figure that no attack will occur, the soldiers will have breakfast and do their daily chores. At night, soldiers would go into no man's land and do various jobs.

After I read through the website I learned that there were many countries that fought in World War One that I was not aware of such as India & South Africa. I also learned that the War killed 9 million people in uniform and approximately 20 million civilians. Something I found shocking was reading about the unstable peace in the countries after the War ended.

The assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand on 28 June 1914 set off a chain of events that led to war in early August 1914.

Canadians successfully attacked the German-held strongpoint of Vimy Ridge. The thoroughly planned and executed victory has become a post-war symbol for Canadian identity and independence.

11 November 1918: Armistice

The war ended at 11 a.m. on this day.

The First World War ended in a complete victory and an unstable peace. Post-war Germany, disarmed and humiliated, became a weak and short-lived republic. Its resentments and frustrations – real and imagined – fuelled the rise of Hitler’s brutal fascists.
