This picture shows that the new weapons used in WWI were so dangerous that the soldiers had to wear gas masks.

This picture really intrests me because it shows that the sometimes the soldiers could be comforted by animals. The soliders probably needed the comfort too because war was tough on them.

The assassanation of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was what started the war. If he wasn't assassanated then maybe the war would not of happened so quickly.

This is the British liner ship that the Germans sank using U-boats. The sinking of this ship was what sent other countries into the war. The sinking of the Lusitania was a terrible tradgey that left many dead. Any person to fight in the war would have to be a brave and courages person. And to be the commander of a ship also takes great courage because the ship could be sunk at any time. To be fighting in WWI they would have to be very brave and hiding in trenches must have been hard for all the soliders. But they did it anyway to help their country which is very couargous. Looking through these pictures, the aftermath of the war was a great tradgey. There were so many people left dead and houses ruined like in this picture. There were so many new advances in the WWI time period. All the new technologies helped both Allies and the Central powers. This picture is very depressing. The war had such a big impact on everyone and this woman probably lost everything she had and only has her cow left.

This picture shows that some people still had compassion during the tough times. These soliders were doing more than what was asked of them helping in lesser countries.

The British troops dug the trenches that probably saved some of their lives. The trenches may have ruine the countries that they were dug in, but it helped save lives.

Once agian this picture shows the impact of the new technology in weapons for the war. These weaopns caused great damage to many different countries.

The transportation in the war also had a big impact on the outcome. If there weren't any cars, planes, or trains then both sides probably would have been lacking in their weapons because there was no way to get the weaopns to them. This picture is very intresting because it shows that women did play a huge part in the war. If there were no nurses then there would be so many more wounded soliders who never got cared for. Canouflaging weaopns was a smart idea so that the other side wouldn't be able to see or know when the other side would attack. Again, nurses held a huge part in the war. They helped save so many lives along with all the doctors.
