Weapons of World War 1 saw the use of new weapons in combat that made war even more dangerous. New Weapons included: Machine Guns Bolt Action Rifles Artillery Poison Gas Tanks

Machine Guns & Bolt Action Rifles Machine Guns fired 400 to 600 rounds per minute Each side set up groups of machine guns along trenches to stop enemy advance Dramatically increased the number of casualties during WWI Machine Gun Bolt Action Rifle Continue

Poison Gas Used in artillery shells- explosion would release gas into trenches. 2 Main types used: Chlorine Gas- destroyed the respiratory organs of its victims and this led to a slow death by asphyxiation. Mustard Gas- caused internal and external bleeding. **Most important piece of equipment was a soldiers gasmask. On average, soldiers exposed to either gas would suffer for 3 -5 weeks before finally dying.

League of Nations What is based off the League of Nations today? https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=T 1 t. XK 2 LT 9 mc

Global Peacemaker (Wilson) Wilson’s 14 Points of Peace First “ 5” Points- Remove Causes of War No secret treaties – Freedom of Seas / Trade – Reduced Arms – Fair colonial practices Next “ 8” Points- Boundary Changes (based on principle of “self-determination”) Last Point-formation of a League of Nations (to keep World Peace-protect other nations) Meeting at “Versailles” to decide Peace terms

Weakness of the “Versailles Treaty” Does NOT create a “Lasting Peace” (Treatment of Germany ) War Guilt Clause – Germany alone is responsible for starting the war (Unfair) GERMANY is Evil / militaristic / war monger Economy Weak –Reparations (worse) They can’t possibly pay the Reparations German territory losses (anger)

Legacy of WW 1 The Great War DID NOT END ALL WARS! Wilson’s plan failed. Set the stage for what? SUMMARY: European conflict challenges U. S. Policy of neutrality; Allied victory intended to make the world safe.
