One important consequence of the massive man recruiting in the contending countries was the access of women to jobs that had been for men until then. ]]> 2017-01-18 17:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ana_vicenti/9aypmpujyl7e/wish/147882051 At the beginning of the World War 1 eva_cristobalperez https://padlet.com/ana_vicenti/9aypmpujyl7e/wish/147931901 A photograph which shows the million of people who went to the war expecting to win while years later nothing of them will remain because they wont return home.

Soldiers spent a great amount of time in trenches  were they had very harsh conditions. Rats  made trenches very dirty and smelly and moreover spread diseases. On the opposite side, rats sensed when there was going to be an enemy attack and ran away so this was very helpful for the soldiers.

War is, above all,  about power, power and it's obtention though the massacre of human beings.
More that 15 million people died in World War one,  it's easy to say. We are so used to reading these numbers on textbooks that we never think about what they mean. That's more than 15.000.000 human beings with a life, thoughts, ideas, love and bits of hatred that simply ceased existing. 15 million just like any of us.

At the real front . . . you weren’t afraid at all. . . . There are all the phenomena that I absolutely had to experience. I . . . had to see how someone next to me suddenly fell and was gone, the bullet hitting him right in the middle. I had to experience that all very precisely. I wanted to. In other words, I’m not a pacifist at all. Or maybe I was a curious person. I had to see it all for myself.”

From that time it was known that it was going to be a horrible period. Millions of people died hungry or injured, and everything because of confrontations.

This is a picture  of the first wartime Christmas Eve in 1914 , something miraculouse happened , the soldier of both trenches stopped war and started singing Christmas carols , they went to no Man Land to decorate trees , exchange presents and  comfort other band war victims.
This was extremely unexpected that the coronels and generals decided this won`t happen again.

It presents a father with his kids, searching for a way to answer his daughter’s innocent question. Judging by the look he has, it is obvious he does not know how to reply, as he did never fight in the war. The stare he gives away is one of embarrassment and regret.
 
Britain’s purpose with this poster was to encourage men to volunteer to fight in WWI, in order not to feel useless to their families and nation.

Also, it was used to transport allies to the enemy trenches. 
Newer models of the Marks(British tanks) were introduced with improvements and other countries started having their own models.

Some people lived only with the money that they obtein taking awesome photographs. An easy but not so cheaper way to guarantee that money that they could earn was to train birds so they could do amazing picturas. But in the other hand it was not cheap because if the camera falls they had to buy a new one and in that times that was a huge cost. However, many pictures that we can see nowadays are due to the work of many birds.

Its large horns amplified distant sounds, which were monitored through headphones worn by a member of the crew, who could move the platform and locate the distant enemy aircraft.
It was surpassed in 1940s by the development of the radar.

Rolando Zambrano]]> 2017-01-22 20:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ana_vicenti/9aypmpujyl7e/wish/148594147 Crying Soldier https://padlet.com/ana_vicenti/9aypmpujyl7e/wish/148682281 This photograph shows what can seem like a simple soldier; but what it really tells us is the devastation War left on the survivors. We always tend to imagine soldiers as brave or courageous; which they most certainly are, but we do not always realize they are as human as a regular citizen with zero military training. This image proves that, in fact, they also suffered with every dead comrade, and probably with the destruction the War was leaving behind. Some of them didn't even want to go to War, and were forced to do so. It's obvious that War had no good outcomes, even if some people thought otherwise.

Toxic gases were a very important weapon and dangerous in the First World War.
 In order to survive to these gases, this masks were used in the war. There were used in soldiers  and also  in animals, like, horses or dogs.

It can be appreciated how he expresses his feelings not as a soldier but as a human being. 

World War One brought massive disasters, including the huge number of victims, which would cause a change in the world for the rest of the century.

It was used to carry civil passengers.
Why is so important?
It was a huge tragedy. The boat was attacked and sank by a german submarin, the U-20.
They died 1918 passengers and 234 from United States, becoming one of the reasons why the enter into the WW1

In WWI airplanes were useful for exploring the enemies territory, but in the course of the war planes get a more deadly and offensive labor.
Pilots ,as the one in the photo, took high risks in flying in one aircraft, due to the enemy fire the weather conditions and on flying in prototypes whereof many of those didn't worked as they had.

This pilot knew the risks and died as the millions of soldiers in the First World War.

This was one of the last wars where animals were openly used instead of relying on technology. 
Only the British Army deployed more than a million horses, used mainly to carry suplies and ambulances, but also pulling heavy artillery or ridden in battle and even on the frontline.
