UNIT 6
The Great War
Standard 10.5 Students analyze the causes and course of the First World War.
Essential Questions: (1) Could World War I have been prevented? (2) How has warfare changed over time?
(3) What elements are needed to create a fair and lasting peace? (4) How did the war lead to these postwar
issues?
The First World War was the first truly global conflict – the battle raged not just in the
trenches of the Western Front but in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Huge armies
deployed new weapons such as poison gas, tanks, machine guns, and airplanes to
devastating effect. Over nine million soldiers and an unknown number of civilians lost
their lives. Empires crumbled, and revolution engulfed Russia forcing it’s withdrawal.
America entered the war, and rose to become a dominant world power.
