http://portal.sliderocket.com/BMGEW/My-Presentation-1 **REFLECTION:** World War I, otherwise known as the "Great War" and the "War to End All Wars" dragged in too many countries, too many people, too much destruction, and too much bloodshed. This war--this "Great War" and this "War to End All Wars"-- deserves it's names because it truly caused a great catastrophe to the world. Nations involved in the war were the United States, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, France, Russia, Japan, and Austria-Hungary. Unlike any other war, this "Great War" is deserving of it's name because no other battle had pitied this many nations against each other. Though the battles were fought around Europe, countries world wide were sucked into it as well due to the fact that each nations spread its influence through colonies around the world. This battle was known for it's way of fighting--trench warfare. Because this type of war easily killed soldiers by offering no protection from terrible weather and diseases, creating a "dead man's land," it left millions dead. No man left WWI the same way they came. Each and every single person was either dead, physically damaged, or mentally scarred. Which also results in the name the "War to End All Wars." The casualties and economic damage it left on the nations was so great that everyone believed no one could handle a war like that to happen again. There was no way, they believed, that they would want to participate in another war that would hurt each nation. WWI had to be the first and final war they believed. Though they had hoped that such a bloody war would not occur again, they were gravely mistaken. But it was in part of this war occurring that during WWII each nation was more equipped and knowledgeable to fight. It was a learning experience--no more trench warfare for sure.
