It connects to the Perry readings in the way that war was seen as a positive and exciting event in the lives of many men who wanted to protect their country and prove they could earn great honor as a hero. ]]> 2022-02-16 18:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2051634821 blair_magid_2023 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2053421251 I chose this picture because it shows a different side to the eagerness and excitement of war we have discussed. This picture provides a realistic image of war in opposition to the idealized version.]]> 2022-02-17 15:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2053421251 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2059644138 I chose this picture of the Schlieffen Plan in action because it was the stupid plan that began World War I. It shows how power hungry Germany was and how they showed up expecting to go to war and win easily with countries they had beat before, however this plan only began a war that ensued over 20 Million deaths ]]> 2022-02-22 01:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2059644138 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060592246 I chose this picture because I think it shows the harsh conditions of the trenches. Flooded with water and the grenaded ground around them the conditions were far from sanitary. The destroyed land around the trench also indicates lots of battles and back and forth, but as we know, not much movement between sides took place. Finally, the trenches were a wake up call for the soldiers "gung ho" war attitude as they were faced with these conditions. ]]> 2022-02-22 13:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060592246 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060687298 I chose this image of civilians working in a munitions factory because it displays the large-scale civilian workforce aiding the war efforts, as well as the new, technologically advanced types of weapons used in WWI. These new, extremely powerful weapons caused mass destruction and casualties during WWI that had never been seen before.]]> 2022-02-22 14:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060687298 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060722366 On April 25th, 1915, landings began on the Gallipoli Peninsula in an effort to capture the Ottoman capital. I chose this image because I find it interesting how this attempt was a fail that led to the Allies suffering, as well as the signal for New Zealand and Australian troops in the war. Together this ultimately led to the collapse of the British government. ]]> 2022-02-22 14:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060722366 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060735242 I chose this photo because it shows the new use of tanks in war. You can see multiple tanks rushing into a town, along with a carriage on the side, this shows how war affected and was incorporated into every part of life. The amount of tanks also shows how large scale WW1 was. ]]> 2022-02-22 14:58:49 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060735242 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060858297 I chose this image because it depicts one of the most horrific parts of the war - WWI appears as one of the first times bioweapons were used in war (mustard gas courtesy of the Germans), something which I studied a few years ago when reading a book on poisons in war. The gas masks make it look even more like a nightmare. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060858297 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060860961 I chose this picture because I was curious to see the role of women during the war. Women were forced to move into skilled industrial jobs typically reserved for men, such as working in factories to produce ammunitions and weapons to fight with. ]]> 2022-02-22 15:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060860961 sophia_hall_2023 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060863483 I chose this photo because it captures an interesting part of World War I's history, when the French transported soldiers to the Front Line in order to attack a gap in the German line.

It shows the harsh conditions where they had to hide out and live during the war. ]]> 2022-02-22 16:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2060873207 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2061493436 I chose this image because it shows how dogs played a huge role in the war. Red Cross Dogs would perform the dangerous task of finding the wounded soldiers between the trenches and helping them. The dogs carried medical packs that soldiers could use to heal their wounds. Many other animals such as horses and pigeons played an integral role in the war.]]> 2022-02-22 22:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2061493436 sophie_risser_2023 https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2062712120 I chose this image because it shows the line of trenches that was surrounded by the machine gunners and the barbed wire. The barbed wires tried to slow down and entangle the attacking side. Throughout the war, both sides developed trench systems with greater strength and depth in order to ensure the enemy could not breakthrough. ]]> 2022-02-23 14:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/holtonarms/kpd94n4ozsjz0a78/wish/2062712120
