(WHI.1a) World War I Interactive Whiteboard Activity Resources Create a time line with the following dates: June 28, 1914 August 4, 1914 May 7, 1915 September, 1915 April, 1917 March 3, 1918 November 11, 1918 June 28, 1919 Then create a word bank with the following words: Archduke Francis Ferdinand assassinated All major European powers enter the war Sinking of the Lusitania Serbia is defeated United States enters the war Russia signs the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk Germany signs armistice, ending the fighting Treaty of Versailles signed Activity Displaying the time line, have student volunteers come to the whiteboard and place the correct item in the appropriate spot on the time line. Students may refer to Chapter 16 of Glencoe World History: Modern Times to help complete the time line. Critical Thinking Determining Cause and Effect Ask: What four factors contributed to the start of World War I? (militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism) Would you classify these causes as political, economic, or both? (Students should note that these factors are a combination of the two.) Analyzing Ask: How did the entry of the United States impact the course of the war? (Students should note that the United States gave the allies a psychological boost, helping to offset the traumatizing defeats along the Western front, and the withdrawal of Russia in 1918. The American troops were fresh, unlike the war-weary European soldiers. They were able to turn back the final German offensive and advance into Germany.)
