Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s Car (1914)
WWI Alliances Map (1914)
Black Hand Membership Card (Serbia)
Imperialism Map (Pre-1914)
The cause of World War I was various, both in the short term and the long term. For instance, nationalism made different countries compete with each other and feel proud. Militarism led to the buildup of different armies and weapons. Alliances made different countries defend one another, thus leading to the war. Imperialism made different countries compete for land. In the short term, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 led to the war.
1914-1918
Technology & Conducting the War
British Mark I Tank
Poison Gas Mask (WWI)
Trench Diagram Model
German MG08 Machine Gun
World War I saw the introduction of new technologies that were deadly. Machine guns were used, which were very dangerous. Poison gas was used, which was not only harmful but also caused fear. Tanks were used in the war, which helped break through enemy lines. The war was fought in trenches, which were not only unhygienic but also dangerous. The Somme and Verdun were two battles that resulted in the deaths of millions of soldiers. It was a total war, which means the support of the civilians was required.
Non-European / Global Impact
1914-1918
Colonial Soldiers Uniform (India/Africa)
Armenian Genocide Photograph
Arab Revolt Flag
Ottoman Empire War Map
This is because World War I was not just confined to Europe; rather, it was a worldwide phenomenon. The Armenian Genocide is an example of the violence experienced in the Ottoman Empire, resulting in the killing of Armenians. The Arab Revolt is another example of violence in the Middle East against the Ottomans. Moreover, colonies like India and Africa contributed soldiers to fight for the Europeans. This is proof that the war was worldwide.
Russian Revolution
1914-1918
Tsar Nicholas II Portrait
Lenin Speech Poster
Storming of the Winter Palace
Bolshevik Propaganda Poster
The Russian Revolution in 1917 was caused by political problems, inequality, and a lack of food. The February Revolution caused the Tsar to step down. Power was then in the hands of the Petrograd Soviet. However, the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, took power in the October Revolution. Russia withdrew from the war, and the Soviet Union was formed. Lenin also introduced the New Economic Policy.
Major Effects
1914-1918
Wilson’s Fourteen Points Document
Treaty of Versailles Document
League of Nations Poster
Map of Europe After WWI
The World War had significant effects on the world. The Treaty of Versailles was imposed on Germany. President Wilson introduced the Fourteen Points for peace. The League of Nations was formed to prevent further wars. The Treaty of Versailles weakened Germany. The collapse of empires occurred. The Middle East was divided into territories under the Mandate System.
