The importance of Manfred von Richthofen is that he revolutionized aerial combat. He was also the war's top ace and had more than 80 confirmed victories, which made it so that even his enemies respected him.

Axel Evaristo

ae90521 — 2026-03-05 16:41:00 UTC

In the first world war aeroplanes were made as spy equipment. Not to many countries knew to much about aeroplanes. But when technology developed more & more aeroplanes were causing "Dog fights". Once used as a spy weapon then later used as a war weapon.

The Red Cross's legacy revolutionized medicine and women's roles in war. The red cross was one of the first ways women could get involved in war and make a difference.

ad94837 — 2026-03-05 16:41:42 UTC

The Great War had some of the biggest technological advancements, especially in weapons, many of them being used up to the sixties.

Specifically, the Vickers gun was one of the few to be able to shoot from the synchronized gear, which was one of the more important inventions.

Lucy

lc81852 — 2026-03-05 16:41:50 UTC

The Red Cross left a very strong legacy that still influences medicine and hospitals. These propagranda posters were part of what got them to get so many people to join.

Koa T.

kt79588 — 2026-03-05 16:41:51 UTC

Chemical Warfare was revolutionary. Fritz Haber was able to chemically change the entire war with one chemical. Millions of people died from chemical warfare but it also was the catalyst for many chemical advancements today.

The legacy and importance of the animals in WW1 was an understanding of how transportation could be possible during times that it seemed impossible. It impacts today's world by making carrying messages easier.

Red Barron

ss87072_2 — 2026-03-05 16:42:36 UTC

His legacy was being a good gunner and a good fighter despite a terrbile head injury he was one of the first to have the most victories of the time

Max

ma79461 — 2026-03-05 16:42:46 UTC

My topic is the soldiers life. The importance and legacy is immense, as they were the ones most impacted. They were the ones passing on the memories of it, telling their children. They made groups to help with their trauma, and helped modern medicine understand PTSD and what they called 'Shell Shock'

aq79327 — 2026-03-05 16:42:52 UTC

The Red Cross's legacy has been impactful during the war and even in the present day. They improved medical techniques that are still in use today

gg77370 — 2026-03-05 16:43:14 UTC

The legacy of animals in WW1 was powerful. it changed the uses of animals in many different ways to help each nation. Animals made a huge impact today by using the same techniques they used in the war.

Thomas

ts91301 — 2026-03-05 16:44:00 UTC

The role of animals in WW1 has revolutionized the way we think of them today. The Great War helped show people how much better animals can do things than humans and how they can be utilized. In this image, you can see a dog with a red cross on its back. These "Mercy dogs" were used by the Red Cross to search for and find wounded soldiers. Today, dogs are used by the police and search and rescue teams to track down missing people or criminals.

Thatcher

tv77337 — 2026-03-05 16:47:32 UTC

Animals were very crucial for the war. Animals were used for, traveling, carrying supplies, and combat.

ab79993 — 2026-03-05 17:58:27 UTC

The sopwith camel's importance in the war cannot be understated. It was the RAF's main plane and unmatched in arial warfare. The legacy is that it influenced the building of more planes and continued the evolution of aircraft which relates to our topic.

Norah

ne795412 — 2026-03-05 17:59:06 UTC

There were SAR (Search and Rescue) dogs in WW1, and the US Army still uses them today. This image is impactful because dogs would sniff out dead and alive soldiers and potentially save them.

The Boeing 747 was directly influenced by the military, specifically the airforce which, without the development of fighter planes in World War I, would not have been a developed branch of the military.

Brooke N

Female spies in World War 1 were inspirational figures who broke traditional gender norms to gather crucial intelligence to assist their country. They inspired many modern opportunities for women.

Royal H

rh80258 — 2026-03-05 18:00:58 UTC

Planes were used as an efficient and reliable way to spy during the war. The ability to take photos that you could study later was already revolutionary in espionage, and being able to do so from the air only improved it.

Demitri

dj79493 — 2026-03-05 18:02:03 UTC

Spying and espionage is so well known from ww1 that the most popular fictional spy is directly inspired by a ww1 spy, Sidney Reily. Sidney even inspired his own series about him, Ace of Spys.

Shaked

Animals had a strong legacy in the war, as they served for many roles (Cargo carry, rescue, communication). The war had resulted in many acts, some being used as evidence for anti-animal cruelty, and we even have an international holiday to remember them all on Febuary 24th.

Although we are highlighting Gabrielle Petit, a Belgian spy during WWI, Edith Cavell was another prominent symbol and patriot who helped soldiers escape German-occupied Belgium. It suggests she may have been connected to spy networks, even if just through communication. Along with many others, she was executed in 1915.

Noah V

Animals have a huge legacy, as WW1 impacted how animals are treated today. In the war more than 8 million horses were drafted, but only ~60,000 returned home. Now the US army only has 300 horses, for mainly non-combative purposes. Animals have been used less and less in war especially due to the horrible conditions they faced, and more protections have been made for them.

This image of the WWI Aeroplane shows the importance of our topic because this plane has evolved from just the one in the picture to transportation planes, and military fighting planes today. Our topic has impacted todays world by giving faster transportation around the world and stronger war machines in the air today due to advanced technology for planes.

sl93617 — 2026-03-05 21:13:37 UTC

The importance of the Mark tank models lies in their role in revolutionizing trench warfare. Many countries have developed and/or purchased tanks from various manufacturers. The New Weapons of the Great War is incredibly important as many of the weapons that were used back then have been used in today's wars and fights but they have been imporved.

the legacy of photography from ww1 allows us to see the way and the things that they saw. without photography there would be no way of visualizing the war the war would be romanticized

Tavia

tj80874 — 2026-03-05 21:13:40 UTC

Animals have been used in wars throughout history. WW1 saw very creative uses for animals that had never been seen before, particularly around the use of gas. Gas masks were made for a variety of animals, and slugs were used to detect the gas before people could. This war set an example of how we should use animals in ways that they are specifically good at, such as bomb-detecting dogs, which is still used today.

Vivienne

The Red Baron was a skilled tactician and some of the strategies he used are still being used in modern day. One example of this is how he would fly with the sun behind him to blind his enemies.

Stanley

sd80000 — 2026-03-05 21:14:24 UTC

The Red Baron completely changed dogfights be coming up with many strategies such as coming in from above, sneaking up, and flying in formations.

The Fokker D.VII was the most manufactured German plane and one of the most widely produced airplanes during World War One, with over 3,300 of these being built.

Aerial Warfare in World War One fuelled innovation in airplanes, which has ultimately led to them being a common mode of transportation today, with ~100,000 flights every single day.

tg87782 — 2026-03-05 21:14:42 UTC

chemical warfare in ww1 showed the hooros gas can cause and set it a path for gas regulations

ge90381 — 2026-03-05 21:14:45 UTC

The Mark I tank was the first ever tank and the importance of it is that it was some of the newest technology of the war. The legacy of this is that now there are a lot different tanks that are much more advanced than this one because of it.

Barbed wire in WW1 served as a brutal trap; it was impossible to go through or to break because of how messy and sharp it was. Barbed wire was rarely used, but it was a very effective defense and blocked people from entering. Nowadays, it is used to keep things out.

Sydney Hess

sh79694 — 2026-03-05 21:15:27 UTC

World War I weapons greatly impacted and influenced weapons today. From the fresh invention of tanks to the modernization of aircraft and grenade warfare, these inventions changed weapons today. Most of the weapons in the Great War are still used today; they've just been modernized.

Finley - Animals

fr79765 — 2026-03-05 21:15:38 UTC

Animals had way more uses in the war than just transport or killing rats. Without them, the war would have turned out very differently, and many more people would have died. Today, there are several animal rights and health organizations leftover from the war, such as the Blue Cross and the US Army Veterinary Corps.

Lilah

2026-03-05 21:15:44 UTC

The role of animals during World War I has had a great impact on the world today. They saved thousands of lives, and they could perform tasks that humans could not. One of their legacies today is search and police dogs.

cr83805 — 2026-03-05 21:15:59 UTC

photographers were the main reason people had an idea of how real war accually are, but it also had some of the first photos that were considered "art".

Corin

2026-03-05 21:16:00 UTC

It is very hard to summarize the importance of and legacy of all animals in ww1, so this here is a just photo of a double decker French bus made into a mobile pigeon loft, because they are cool and many people don't know they existed. Animals saved thousands of human lives and many were injured and killed throughout the war, though they still are not remembered as as large a part of the war as things like tanks. Many animals still serve to help humans today.

Brandon

ba77947 — 2026-03-05 21:16:13 UTC

Photography in WWI (specifically amateur photography) popularized the concept of having your own small personal camera to capture your surroundings. This obviously evolved into consumer cameras and even ideas like cameras on phones. They also helped see a more real side of the war.

Omari

This guy took a mirror selfie, something that is increasingly common among people his age today. It really breaks away from the inhumane nature of wwi and shows the similarities between teens today and back then.

Quincy (Red Baron)
