**Reflection:**

**Of all the "Firsts" what impressed you the most and why?** **The new army machines impressed me the most, some things like tanks, airplane. Those high damage machines could took life away easily. Army only thought how to defeat the enemy, and created more powerful weapons, but it also kill the innocent people.**

During World War one, German had trenches snacked of hundreds of miles through the countryside near the Somme River, and the shellproof bunkers had built up in the Battle of Somme. Same as German, British army made their own trenches. The high damage military machine had been created, a tank cross the land and took life away. Each country started built up their trenches in their countryside, the trenches provide the good fighting position and protection.

Reflection:During World War One, many new military weapons had been created and used in war. Some things like Artillery, Air Combat, Tank, and Machine gun. Those were high damage weapons. In different situation, they could provide different functions. In addition, soldier had been training to used gas and rifle. The gas can made men sick and death, and it was large range. The warfare was terrible, many men killed by the war machines. During World War One, many new military weapons had been created and used in war.

The soldier spent most of their time in the trenches or front line. In which were dangerous location. The trench warfare turns many soldiers in horrible conditions or to their deaths. There were many novices and some died due to sniper fire by peeking off the trench, so it was not safe in daylight. About a third of the World War I casualties were in the trenches. Besides the deaths, the trenches were infested with different kinds of rodents and diseases. The rats were eating the corpses and the condition of the trenches made led to many of the soldiers getting sick, and the Lice caused solider got Trenches Fever which was required twelve weeks for recovery. Even through the sickness, many of the soldiers had to withstand the stench of the trenches and continue their duties, and they had to stay in the trenches daily.

The war in Western Europe was badly for the Allied Powers, it was a series of battles had resulted in many Allied casualties. In the battle of Verdun, Germans tried to kill or injury French soldier as many as possible. In the battle of Somme,British suffered about 60000 deaths at the first day of fighting. Allies power had suffered a lot of failures in the World War One.

Reflection of the Battle of the Somme During the Battle of Somme, men spent their most time in trenches. 20000 British were killed at the first day of battle. Some men were died after they joined the battle about 30 minutes. About 623970 men were killed or wondered during the battle. War is a series catastrophes which result in victory.

The song sing about the pain the Turks caused toward Armenians, and they showed their response of wanting not just recognition. The government of Turk ignore the genocide. and their response of wanting not just recognition, but reparations and revenge on the Turkish goverment f

 * Click on the tab More....**
 * Summarize what you gained from each of the following subtopics:**
 * 1. Armenia after the genocide**
 * About 600,000 Armenians were brutally killed and 1.5 million Armenians were deported before 1917, in which marked the end of the genocide. Young Turks party lost interest in the Armenians and gained interest in World War I. Armenians were forced to spread out world wide. This world wide wide spread made other nations interested in the Armenians plight.**
 * There were many nations that took longer to admit it was a genocide and others which still don't recognize it such as United States even though 43 states recognize it. The survivors are still fighting so that the world will recognize the event was a genocide. They hope to get Turks to recognize it as a genocide so the rest of the world will fall into their footsteps.**


 * 2. Turkey's response**
 * Turkey said that they didn't do it, in which they reject that they executed the genocide of Armenians.. However, even though they claim that they didn't, they tore down almost everything in an Armenian Genocide Remembrance Exhibition. There were people that also said "it was all lies". They also destroyed many of their buildings and renamed animals as if to say the Armenians were never in the Turkish background.**


 * 3. World's response**
 * A worldwide recognition of this genocide will be a tough task, and Turkey and its allies will not admit to the genocide. Armenians hopes that Genocide is truth so that they can rebuild their "Holy Land". As of today, the recognition of the Armenian Genocide is not spread enough to any Armenian's liking. Only 21 countries in which officially recognize the Armenians genocide. The only main countries which disagree with these 21 nations are the United States and Turkey. The United States only agree with Turkey because they are close allies with them, and we rely on their position very much. Even though 43 out of 50 states in the US recognized this genocide, Obama refused because Turkey is a close allies and the US depend on them military-wise.**

Mexico refused Germany's proposal because Mexico did not want to go against the US which had the largest supply of military weaponry. Britain was the country to first decipher the Zimmerman Telegram and immediately spread this information to the US because they wanted the US to join the war on the Allied side.

The US did not join the war until the sinking of the Lusitania and Zimmerman Telegram. On April 6, 1917, America declared war to "make the world safe for democracy." American industries mobilized by mass producing weapons, equipment, munitions, and other war supplies. Hundred of thousands of African Americans migrated north in order to work in factories. Over two million Americans volunteered for the army and three millions were drafted. Over 13,000 joined the navy as Yeoman, while other joined the Army and Navy Nurse Corp. The AEF, American Expeditionary Force, commanded by General John J. Pershing had a total of two million men who sent to France. Within eighteen months, the American "doughboys" ended the three year stalemate. Germany agreed to an armistice, a cease fire, on November 11, 1918.

Summary-The cartoon shows the situation getting worst between United States and Germany, the Patience with Germany is breaking. United States worry about the war.

The end of World War I was near when The Americans joined the war. The Central Powers worried about the US participation in the war would give the Allied an upper hand. The Germans launched a new offensive in the Western Front after Russia withdrawal from the war in 1917. The Germans were able to push the French into retreat mode, but did not last very long. After the Americans arrived in Europe and supported the fighting of the Western Front, it was obvious that Germany and its allies were losing, so many German leaders approached the Allied seeking truce. The first peace terms were agreed to on November 11, 1918, and many followed after it. And World War I was finally put to an end.

‍ **A Difficult Peace**

 * Background**:

At the end of the War, each of the major allied powers had a different viewpoint on what should be included in the peace treaty. The French wanted to punish Germany. The United States under the direction of President Wilson wanted a treaty that would promote stability and world peace (Fourteen Points). The British seemed to fall somewhere between the two. Italy, on the other hand wanted to increase it territory.

 * Read the summary of the Treaty of Versailles here:[[image:http://www.wikispaces.com/i/mime/32/application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document.png width="32" height="32" link="http://mastromaurowh.wikispaces.com/file/view/Treaty+of+Versailles.docx"]] [|Treaty of Versailles.docx]

1. **List and summarize the major points of the Treaty** 1 The Treaty of Versailles, presented for German leaders to sign on May 7, 1919, forced Germany to concede territories to Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, West Prussia and Upper Silesia. 2 The "War Guilt Clause," which forced the German nation to accept complete responsibility for initiating World War I. 3 Germany required the pay for the debts after the World War one. 4 The German army was to be limited to 100,000 men, and conscription proscribed; the treaty restricted the Navy to vessels under 100,000 tons, with a ban on the acquisition or maintenance of a submarine fleet. All were for regain its economic superiority and to rearm. 5 The New Nazi party had form by Hitler in which Promises to rearm, to reclaim German territory. 6 The burdensome reparations caused spiraling hyperinflation of the German Reichsmark by 1923. This hyperinflationary period combined with the effects of the Great Depression. 7 The efforts of the Western European powers to marginalize Germany through the Versailles Treaty undermined and isolated German democratic leaders. 8 The Dolchstosslegende helped further to discredit German socialist and liberal circles who felt most committed to maintain Germany's fragile democratic experiment.

The Treaty of Versailles completely brought Germany the reparation for all the damage done. The total size of Germany decreased dramatically, and the territories lost were given to members of the Allied like France. Limitation were placed upon the German's army, navy, and air force. Germany was not allowed to maintain any air base since the Allied feared Germany would start a another war. The reparations prevented Germany economy from growing, and caused the depression in the country. The Wiemar Republic which was the new democratic government established in Germany received many opposition. One of them being the National Socialist Party with Adolf Hitler being one of the member. His party offered to help Germany regain her formal glory which attracted the attention of many citizens.

2. **Predict how this treaty led to the rise of Hitler and ultimately WWII using evidence from the document** The treaty made Germany to pay a big reparation fees in which they were unwilling, and it caused poverty, high unemployment rates and taken away Germany's air power such as limited army. These hit the nationalism feeling of German. German lost their pride and suffered through the economy depression from other countries. Therefore, when Hitler came to power and promise to bring the glory to the country. People support him immediately for what they had lost.
