This assassination was the beginning of the First World War. ]]> 2023-03-17 18:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2521265222 mbukirwa https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529177959 July 28, 1914
When Austria-Hungary learned that the assassins were supplied by Serbia, they blamed them & called for an attack. To protect Serbia, Russia decided to declare war on Austria-Hungary. 
Immediately, and within a period of six days, European countries declare war upon one another. 
Austria-Hungary's aggression towards Serbia and Russian support for Serbia in the aftermath of the assassination stemmed from fears that, if either backed down, they would lose credibility and prestige as great powers.]]> 2023-03-23 16:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529177959 mbukirwa https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529180036 August 2 to 7, 1914

- After the Belgians refused to let the Germans be involved in the war, they decided to enter the war by force and invaded Belgium on August 4 1914. 
By doing so they violated the treaty of London which is why Great Britain, that was guard the neutrality of Belgium, entered the war.]]> 2023-03-23 16:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529180036 mbukirwa https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529181037 August 10, 1914
Austria-Hungary invades Russia. Battles on the eastern front included a strong Austro-Hungarian invasion of Russia through Prussia and Poland. 
This movement preceded one of the war's deadliest battles, which took place within the first month of the war. 
The crisis spread as other powers pledged support for either Austria or Serbia. Austria knew that conflict with Serbia would likely involve Russia, which saw itself as Serbia's protector. ]]> 2023-03-23 16:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529181037 mbukirwa https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529182660 January 9, 1919

The Fourteen Points was a statement of principles for peace that was to be used for peace negotiations in order to end World War I. 
The principles were outlined in a January 8, 1918 speech on war aims and peace terms to the United States Congress by President Woodrow Wilson. 
Wilson's 14 Points were designed to undermine the Central Powers' will to continue, and to inspire the Allies to victory. The 14 Points were broadcast throughout the world and were showered from rockets and shells behind the enemy's lines. ]]> 2023-03-23 16:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529182660 mbukirwa https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529184597 April 25, 1914
Allied troops landed on Gallipoli land Peninsula Ottoman Turkey. The Gallipoli Campaign was the land based element of a strategy intended to allow Allied ships to pass through the Dardanelles, capture Constantinople (now Istanbul) and ultimately knocked Ottoman Turkey out of the war. ]]> 2023-03-23 16:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529184597 mbukirwa https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529191901 May 23, 1915

On May 3, Italy resigned from the Triple Alliance and later declared war against Austria-Hungary at midnight on May 23. 
In addition, Italy claimed dominion over the Italian-speaking areas of Austria-Hungary, but its demands were not fulfilled. And so Italy declared war on Austria-Hungary. 
At the beginning of the war, the Italian army boasted less than 300,000 men, but mobilization greatly increased its size to more than 5 million by the war's end in November 1918.]]> 2023-03-23 17:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529191901 mbukirwa https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529209114 April 16 1922

Treaty of Rapallo, (April 16, 1922) treaty between Germany and the Soviet Union, signed at Rapallo, Italy. 
Negotiated by Germany's Walther Rathenau and the Soviet Union's Georgy V. Chicherin, it reestablished normal relations between the two nations.
Both Nations renounced all territorial and financial claims against each other and opened friendly diplomatic relations. A secret clause was added to the Russo-German Treaty of Rapallo, allowing German troops to train with heavy weapons, something disallowed by the Versailles Treaty, in Soviet territory.]]> 2023-03-23 17:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2529209114 mbukirwa https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2545227101 August 5, 1914

The Battle of Liège was the first battle of the war, and could be considered a moral victory for the allies, as the heavily outnumbered Belgians held out against the German Army for 12 days. 
According to the Schlieffen Plan, the 320,000-man German Second Army entered neutral Belgium during this conflict with the intention of invading France from the north. 
At the start of World War I, the unusual Belgian opposition significantly delayed the initial German attack, giving France and Britain time to organise and prepare a defence of Paris.

In France's Artois province, during World War One, the Battle of Neuve Chapelle took place. 
The goal of the assault was to breach the German defences so that a rush to the Aubers Ridge and potentially Lille could be made. 
The British fought very well in the opening phases of the fight despite the bad weather. The RFC rapidly established aircraft control and began to attack German reserves and railroads along the way. 
The German defenders rebounded after the initial shock, just as the assailants were plagued by delays, breakdowns in communication, and disarray.

The original Schlieffen Plan was adopted by Helmuth von Moltke, chief of German General Staff at time
Decided it was best to invade through Belgium 
German troops mobilize and begin to invade Belgium (August 1914) 
The invasion of Belgium violated The Treaty of London (1839) signed by all major European powers 
Agreed to recognize Belgium’s independence and neutrality
Because of this… Great Britain declared war on Germany

Even though poison gas was only responsible for a tiny portion of the war's overall fatalities, its impacts were widespread and catastrophic. Gas was first used by the Germans in the Battle of Second Ypres in 1915.
I'ts effectiveness relied not only on the type of gas and the complexity of its delivery technique but also frequently on the weather conditions of the day. However, poison gas ended up being the most significant psychological weapon of the conflict, and both troops and engineers devoted a significant amount of their time and energy to preparing for and avoiding the frightening (and, to many, immoral) possibility of death.

The First World War tank developed from the interest of some military officers in the marriage of tractors with caterpillar tracks as a means of crossing trench obstacles and breaking through barbed wire.
Military technology of the time favored the defense.
Even if an attack did succeed, it was almost impossible to exploit the breach before the enemy rushed in reinforcements to stabilize the front.
The military combined with engineers and industrialists and by early 1916 a prototype was adopted by William Tritton and Walter Gordon Wilson as the design of future tanks.
Britain used tanks in combat for the first time in the Battle of Flers-Courcelette on 15 September 1916.]]> 2023-04-05 17:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2545257038 mbukirwa https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2545266864 By the year 3000, I think that an incredibly effective invisibility/ camauflaged fighter aircraft that can be flowed without being noticed due to blending in with clouds. This technology would be very effective but detrimental due to the unlikeliness of being spotted. I believe this camouflaged technology would be used for other warcraft too such as tanks, and bombs.]]> 2023-04-05 17:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2545266864 mbukirwa https://padlet.com/mbukirwa/2wmhdb32jcnv6m5m/wish/2545272788 September 20, 1917

The argument over conscription continued for the majority of 1917 and into 1918. 
The necessary law, the Military Service Act, was approved in late August after spending the summer making its way through Parliament. 
It mandated mandatory military duty for all male citizens between the ages of 20 and 45 for the length of the conflict.
