A new kind of war: Life on the Front Lines of WWI

The Reality of Soldier’s Lives

War takes a toll on soldiers “war of attrition” Once, young and eager soldiers proud to serve their country, now had little faith in their cause. Some soldiers were mentally or physically wounded while many others lost their lives.

Effects of the War of the Home Front

Wartime Propaganda

Women and the age of “Total War” Women poured into the workforce replacing men who went off to war Jobs: Ran farms Factory workers Office assistants Nurses

Middle and upper class women: paramilitary organizations 40, 000 nurses Cooks Drivers Mechanics 13, 000 Women’s Land Army

Women’s Wages and Changing Roles Paid less than men After the war, women were “demobilized” to make room for men in their jobs. Women discovered benefit of financial autonomy Some refused to return to domestic service Women won the right to vote throughout Europe

Wartime economics WWI left the world financially stressed To finance war costs governments: Raised taxes Took out loans Rationed food, clothing, gasoline Set prices Forbid strikes Forced civilian labor Enforced “drafts”

Mobilizing for Total War Citizens back home made huge sacrifices (“Victory Gardens”) Governments controlled industries, rationing

The Terms of Peace: Creating a “New” Europe

6 General Points 1. No secret treaties. 2. Freedom of the seas for all nations. 3. Removal of all economic barriers, such as tariffs. 4. Reduction of national armament. 5.

League of Nations Wilson’s 14 th Point #14: Create an International Cooperative Organization called the League of Nations PROBLEM: U. S. A. DID NOT JOIN Did they League of Nations work? NO!! – COULD NOT ENFORCE DECISIONS

Paris Peace Conference Dominated by the leaders of the four major Allied Powers: Woodrow Wilson (U. S. ) David Lloyd George (Britain) George Clemenceau (France) Vittorio Orlando (Italy) “The Big Four”

Problems Facing the Peacemakers Wilson wanted a treaty that was fair to all. European Allied governments insisted on dictating the peace settlement. Russia was not invited. Other Central Powers were given a small role in peace writing terms.

Reparations & Peacekeeping Reparations: Payment for war damages. Who should pay? How much? Many Allied leaders wanted Germany to bear the cost of the war

Conflicting Viewpoints of Peace Wilson believed the peace settlement should be fair and not so harsh that it would kindle future wars. Many allies felt hatred towards Germany. They felt that Germany started the war and they should pay for it. Some countries wanted concrete guarantees that Germany would never

Treaty of Versailles Dealt harshly with Germany Made Germany admit that it was guilty of starting the war and must alone pay reparations. Took land from Germany Carved large chunks of territory from Germany and placed many restrictions on the German government.

Territorial Changes at Germany’s Expense Alsace-Lorraine returned to France. Belgium gained some small territories along its boarders. Germany agreed not to fortify Rhineland, Allied troops occupied. A “demilitarized zone” ** Poland restored as an independent nation.

Treaty of Versailles Provided for the formation of the League of Nations.

Germany Questions Treaty Germans strongly object to paying reparation, denying it alone started the war. Treaty did not state a specific amount of reparations to be paid. June 1919, German’s sign treaty.

Germany’s Restrictions Not allowed to manufacture heavy artillery, tanks, or airplanes. Navy could have FEW warships, but NO submarines. Rules/Restrictions meant to ensure Germany was unable to start a war. Allies lacked ability to enforce imposed restrictions.
