PRESENTATION OUTLINE
World War I was by far the largest, and most fatal war in human history to that point
Much of those fatalities were due to the use of trench warfare, and new advents in military technology
Many of these new technologies (specifically machine guns) led to a reliance on Trench deffence
Soldiers dug trenches to escape the rapid and constant firing
However, trenches had their own dangers
Trenches also led to a use of chemical weapons
Ultimately, the use of trenches led to a stalemate between forces in Western Europe
WWI was a technicle war that many did not fully understand
As a result, nations relied on Propaganda to inspire individuals to join and fight
Propaganda: information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.
