Why I choose to do the little slide show, is because it's showing the different events that had happen from beginning, during, and the ending of world war one. Slide one shows the dead troops that had died during the war that showed some of the 20 billion people that had died. Slide two shows the trenches in where the solders had to stay in to protect themselves. Slide three shows the cause of world war one when Franz Ferdinand and his wife they were both assassinated by Gavrilo Princip. The slide four shows the gas masks the solders had to use as another source of protection to help them breath due to all the chemicals and smoke there was around them. Lastly the last slide shows the different allies that were against each other and their was other countries that didn't even have side. Why I believe this tells the story of world war one because it has the different events that occurred through 1914-1918.
"The First World War was a horror of gas, industrialized slaughter fear and appalling human suffering."—Nick Harkaway, 2012www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/04/04/world-war-i-quotes/100031552/ |
The First war Begins
I chose this news paper that was published on June 28, 1914 and a picture of the person who assassinated Franz Ferdinand because , this shows how war started ,when Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his pregnant wife were driving around Sarajevo greeting the people and assassinated on June 28, 1914. The bee leader of the Black hand was planning the assassination. The black hand were a group of gang members that disliked Ferdinand due to him trying to take over their land. Gavrilo Princip was the one who killed Franz Ferdinand, A little bit about Princip when he was younger princip was expelled from school for being involved in a demonstration against Austro Hungarian authorities. Princip left Sarajevo shortly after being expelled and made the 280-kilometer journey to Belgradeon by foot. Gavrilo was dying from tuberculosis is why he was so committed to the gang and the plan.This tells the story of world war one because, Gavrilo was the reason why their was war and that is simply because he assasinated Franz Ferdindand and his pregnant wife.
True heroes
Why I chose pictures of the solders is because this shows what the soldiers had to go through during the war. They had to be in trenches to protect themselves from the other side. Soldiers had to live in the trenches they were really uncomfortable and muddy. They worked no matter how bad the weather was, they don't see their families for month until its over so they would write letters and that would be their only lifeline. The periscope was so useful to solders during this time. Also solders would take turns in being on watch duty they would only had an hour to rest. The watch duty was very important because they have to report any signs of attack. This tells the story of world war one because it shows the fear and it shows the people that had fought for their country. Not only that but it also represents the struggle and dedication they had for their country.

Mask
Why I chose gas masks because, during world war one the gas mask helped a lot of the soldiers to breath through all those thick airs , conditions, and chemicals. Especially when they would have poison attacks thrown into their trenches. Chemical warfare using chloride gas was first released by German troops on April 22, 1915 killing allied soldiers and injuring some others. Some of the eyewitness say the chemical feels like " a burring sensation in the head, red hot needles in the lungs the throat seized as by a strangler". I believe this tells the story of world war one because this shows that solider had to go thought rough , scary and sad situations.
