- World War one marked the age of new technology 1. new equipment was built to try to have a upper hand during the War The Trigger - The War was expected by many people and it didn't come to a surprise to them that there was going to be a Word War - Germany in particular believed by 1914 that a bid for continental hegemony and world power had a good chance of success. Germany's ally Austria-Hungary saw its survival contingent on destroying the South Slavic nationalism embodied in Serbia. - France, Britain, and Russia, in turn decided that Germany could be stopped at reasonable cost. War thus became the continuation of politics by other means. The assassination of Hapsburg archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914, in the Bosnian city of Sarajevo provided an excuse to settle fundamental issues of European politics. - The war was caused by more of a fear state then anything else. the central powers and the triangle powers were frightened so they attacked each other out of fear without really thinking of the consequences.

Casualties - more men where lost during the beginning of the first few months of the War then any other part of the war - no Negotiations would be made because both sides didn't want to give in - defensive turrets/ machine guns gave capturing main objectives very difficult and casualties increased because each side didn't know what to except regarding the other sides defenses

Trench Warfare and Stalemate . The year 1914 introduced a new aspect to the problem. The sheer size of modern armies created force-to-space ratios so high that even in the wider reaches of eastern Europe, maneuver became almost impossible. Open enemy flanks could not be enveloped because they either did not exist or did not remain open for long. Nor did soldiers continue to stand heroically upright and charge forward with bayonets fixed. Instead they dug. By December 1914, a line of trenches no less formidable for being improvised defined the Western Front from the Swiss border to the English Channel, a distance of 470 miles. In the east, defensive systems were less comprehensive--because the front ran for almost double the distance--but proved almost as successful in defying attacks. Moreover, the avoidance of stalemate called for levels of genius foreign to the soldiers and the statesmen responsible for the war's direction.

CHANGE OF SUBJECT SINCE THIS SEEMS SO WIDE technology used in World War 1 and the affects of this I can still use some of my info I have already gathered

 * Poison gas**- how it changed warfare
 * machine gun**- how this made warfare more difficult

War causes invention invention a noble idea which is not so with war since war causes death horrible things are invented to ensure success- which include some of the most devastating weapons. new machinery, new strategy, new types of weapons__ The use of poison gas in World War I was a major military innovation. The gases ranged from disabling chemicals the french were the first to come up with the idea of tear gas while others followed the gas was denser near the ground which caused for men who were in trenches to have the most illnesses this was a newer strategy which had just risen. The skin of victims of mustard gas blistered, their eyes became very sore and they began to vomit. Mustard gas caused internal and external bleeding and attacked the bronchial tubes, stripping off the mucous membrane. This was extremely painful and most soldiers had to be strapped to their beds. It usually took a person four or five weeks to die of mustard gas exposure This made war a new type of battle. It was no longer a war which only a few types of weapons were used but rather hundreds of inventions were produced which insured success. however, this is not correct since in WW1 each country learned of each other so once poison gas was manufactured in one country the other country also got the gas. this is the start of real war and the way of new weaponry. __due after break thesis Inventions during World War 1 were created for the means of success and new tactics were being used to ensure this, including machinery, weapons, and strategies which involved chemicals thrived during this time period and changed the way war was fought.__

1st paragraph

The machine gun was a destructive weapon introduced during World War one. This weapon changed the way trench warfare was fought between the Allies and Central powers and made defense much more reliable then offense.**"There are many instances where a single well-placed and protected machine gun cut great swathes in attacking infantry. Nowhere was this demonstrated with more devastating effect than against the British army's attack on the Somme on 1 July 1916 and against the German attack at Arras on 28 March 1918. It followed that multiple machine guns, with interlocking fields of fire, were an incredibly destructive defensive weapon (The long,long trial)".** This quote describes the overwhelming power that a machine brought to the front lines. This changed warfare in many wars. If we look back in history to the civil war we see that each side walked in a line and fired their weapons. The machine gun however had the fire power of about forty soldiers put together and could destroy anything in its path. This made for new tactics to be brought up to get around the machine gun. The sniper rifle first invented as the bolt action rifle was the basic solders primary weapon. This rifle evolved into a long range stealth weapon during World War one. Since the machine gun was invented to fire at incoming personal what happens if no one is charging into no mans land? The sniper rifle was the next idea that come into play. Since neither side would advance sniper teams were set up from a safe position to shoot at any solider who would pop his head out to look if the area was clear or not. Although snipers didn't get close to as many kills as a machine gunner would each soldier killed by a sniper decreased the other sides moral because it made the opposite side afraid of even trying to advance to the next trench or to take more land to dig more trenches into. Ruth Brocklehurst & Henry Brook Soldiers quickly learned to keep thier ears open and thier heads down at all times. It was rare for a trench to be much deeper than head height. This only added to feelings of tension and claustrophobia, as thousands of solders died from head wounds. It was only late in 1915 that French troops were issued with steel helmets; the British didnt recieve them until 1916. the army used the euphemistic term "wastage" to describe the daily losses in the trenches ( Ruth Brocklehurst & Henry Brook)". machine guns and sniper rifles - the use of machine guns - how they changed warfare - how they were used in trench warfare - the use of sniper rifles how they changed warfare how they were used to lower the other sides moral
