This should bout around one paragraph long and include a minimum of 5 interesting facts you learned. Be sure to title your post with the topic you read about. Step 2: Read two other student posts (make sure it is a topic you did not study) and tell them what you found most interesting. en-us 2021-01-03 00:21:05 UTC 2021-05-27 05:58:42 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f30d.png rileyh4 https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1443413505 The facial masks were made of copper of all things. I don't think that would have ended up being very comfortable. I'm unsure as to how Ana Coleman Ladd kept the paint on the copper masks, but she coloured them a mix of the man's skin colour in both sunny and cloudy lighting. All of this work she did with assistants who made final touches and fittings.
What baffles me the most is that people back then seemed to be much more open about their disgust at other people who had suffered misfortune, which is one of the main reasons why these soldiers needed masks in the first place.]]> 2021-04-21 16:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1443413505 joensl https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1449635383 During WW1 propaganda was a strategy used by countries in order to invoke patriotism, and the desire to fight. Usually propaganda was used to highlight the good parts of themselves or devalue their actions of others. For instance the Liberty Bonds in the US showed their country they were doing good in the war and that even common folk could "turn their silver coins into bullets". The kind of propaganda used to turn other countries into the enemies loved to detail the cruel actions such as killing in books, poster, and even films. A lot of the countries used propaganda and Britain even set up the Wellington House filled with journalist to write sympathetic articles about them. Germany was another user of Propaganda but they weren't as subtle with it like the British. Propaganda during this war was essentially used as a weapon, like when Germany made a mistake with a image full of medals justifying the sinking of the Lusitania and the British turned it into the German being cruel barbarians. Everyone's interactions could turn someone into an enemy or an ally with the help of propaganda. ]]> 2021-04-22 22:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1449635383 https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1452760821 In WW1 we see the use of chemical gas as a weapon. This wasn't the first time something like this had been used before, in 1675 there was a treaty signed banning the use of "poisonous bullets. There was another case of this seen in 1899 but WW1 lead to further development of gas as a weapon. At first there was the use of a chemical called xylyl bromide which was like a tear gas. It did not seem have the effect that was desired so further research took place. Chlorine was the next chemical to be used. This was tested in the Battle of Ypres where Germans fired cylinders of chlorine gas at French troops. It was seen as a green cloud and many of the troops died due to suffocation. ]]> 2021-04-23 17:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1452760821 millers92 https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1454196257 Aircrafts became popularized in warfare starting in World War I. This is widely due to the new usage of weaponry on planes, which was only popularized after the inventor Roland Garros crashed in German territory and they were able to study his work. Training people to fly these newly developed planes was deadly, and many people died during their test flights. This meant that planes were not used on a vast scale during many of the major battles of the war, and aerial combat became a war of attrition. Germany utilized these newly developed planes to bomb Britain multiple times, but this had no major effect as Britain was incredibly resilient in this war. The practice, however, continued into World War II.]]> 2021-04-24 05:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1454196257 https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1455165055 Jan 31, 1915, the first major gas attack in history. 18k gas shells rained onto Russian lines each killed with the chemical xylyl bromide (early form of tear gas) German chemists tested a method of releasing chlorine gas from cylinders, so many died from suffocation. During this time period a lot of advancement of chemical warfare was made.  Gases were considered as a “dirty weapon” The chlorine attack/gas was green colored and stopped peoples airways. It caused swelling and blocking air to the lungs...]]> 2021-04-24 20:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1455165055 https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1481293871 During  the early stages of the war, Aircrafts were sought after for reconnaissance. These Aircrafts were later modified by a Roland Garros of France. this modified craft dominated the skies until it was shot down and studied by the Germans. Due to Ariel combat being in it's infant stages, it saw rapid developments in strategy and technology. Despite the appeal of an aerial gunship, it did not play a substantial role in winning or losing the war. Many people were fearful of the future of Aircraft warfare as it would later see far more deadly implications in WWII.]]> 2021-05-01 19:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1481293871 boatrightf https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1564084578 Just shy under two decades after they were invented, aircrafts were quickly being used as a means of military war machines. When World War One broke out, the military sought to weaponize aircrafts for bombing and reconnaissance and succeeded. A Dutchman named Anthony Fokker created a way for machine guns to be shot from a plane without interrupting the propellers. Pilot training, aircraft development, everything surrounding aircrafts developed rapidly during the first world war as it was a competition.]]> 2021-05-27 05:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rfunderburg/cic7hsj0ha1a7gsr/wish/1564084578
