**Of all the "Firsts" what impressed you the most and why?**

Out of all of the "Firsts", the first flame thrower impressed me the most because I never knew they used flame throwers in World War 1. I was shocked when I it showed up to be the first one on the video.

[|Photo Gallery of the Trench Warfare]
The army use trenches as protection in World War 1. Some are deep, some are not but they are all narrow. All at one times, the troops climb out of their trenches to another trench. The trenches create a barrier to protect the troops from incoming gun shots. The troops can look over and shoot at their enemy and go back down into their trench to avoid any hits. They use barb wires to gaurd their trenches and to keep away enemies.

=__Activity:__= =[|Life In The Trenches]=

1 .**Terrifying** It is terrifying to live in the trenches because it is there are random deaths occurring everyday. 2. **Unsanitary** The trenches are rat infested and there are lice breeding in the seams of filthy clothing. 3. **Degraded** No one wants to live in the trenches. 4. **Dangerous** Enemies are constantly trying to kill you. 5. **Acrid** The smell is atrocious: the blood, sweat and odor of the rats.

 * Below is very short video about the new weapons introduced in WWI ** :

[|Trench Warfare Game]

 * __Trench Warfare Game__:** When the army is going off to war, they have to know how the weather is going to be like. The weather effects how they choose their weapons and when you use them. I noticed that certain weapons are effected by the weather. If it's sunny out and you're fighting on a flat plane, it is best to use a tank because it can cruise through the surface smoothly and take down the bark wires. Most of the time, the mines don't explode. Or if they are positioned in the wrong place, it won' be effective. The Air Conneraissance hover around to guide the tanks to the right path during those sunny days. The air combat can be as effective but when it's cloudy outside, it really just doesn't do any justice. The trenches are a big help to us and the enemy because they give up protection. But on those rainy days, the mud can get 10 inches deep in some places. It also effects the sides of the trenches. I think the weather has a big effect on how they fight and what they use. You can't win mission 4, it is highly impossible.

 * Watch the short video below on Battle of the Somme: **

__**Reflection on the Battle of Somme:**__ Before going off to war, the troops are blessed by the priest. They build trenches and used barb wires to secure their area. They used infantry, machine guns, and tanks to defend themselves. They also used mines which takes months of preparation. They have to dig underground to their enemy's trench and cut off any path ways that would lead back to their own. To get to other trenches, they had to jump over or walk their way through a long narrow path way. Some men were killed just a few minutes after they got to the trenches. A total of 623, 907 men were killed or wounded during the Battle of Somme.



= __Armenian Massacre__ =

[|Armenian Massacre Project]
=**__Activity:__**= The lyrics to the song was depressing. I thought it was sad that the day after the end of the genocide was called "the most loneliest day" because thanks to the Turks, they almost annihilated the Armenians. The part when they sang "and if you die, I want to die with you." touched an emotional side of me because I would have felt the same if I was them in their situation. I would want to die with my loves ones knowing that I would be alone. But at the same time, I would feel like I survived the genocide for a reason.


 * 1. Treatment of the Armenians before the massacre **

The Armenians were considered different. They followed Christianity instead of Islamic. They lived in dangerous living conditions. They were overtaxed. They were limited to their rights.


 * 2. Reasons for the Treatment: **

They were Christians living in a Muslim Empire. The Massacre happened to scare the Armenians.


 * 3. Hamidian Massacres **

Sultan Abdul-Hamid II was entitled to spread the word about the Kuran. By doing so, he thought it was easier to make sure everyone was Muslim in his empire. So he lead a massacre and killed over 100, 000 Armenians. He also burned down their marketplaces and anything that had to do with them.


 * 4. Listen to and reflect on "The Armenian Massacre Song" **

Those Armenian survivors really want to make the Turkish government "pay". They want to get some pay back for all the tears and sadness that the massacre had brought to them. There will always be "a fire" burning in their souls until they give what the Turkish government what they deserve.

__**Armenian in 1915-1917:**__ They Turks took the Armenians to deserted areas for annihilation. They wanted to weakened their defense be killing the healthy men first. They made the women march and on that march they are weakened and even died from starvation. The young-adult women were kept alive but was forced to marry Turkish men and make them slave wives. The kids were forced to convert and were orphans. Much of them died because of no food.


 * 1. Armenia after the genocide **

They surviving Armenians were forced to move and spread out throughout the world because their homes were destroyed. When they settled down, other countries began to recognize the genocide. But some still didn't acknowledge the genocide yet. The Armenians are still trying to get everyone to be aware of the genocide.
 * 2. Turkey's response **

The Turkish government denied everything. They didn't want their allies to know about it. That is why they made the Armenians march; to get them as far away from the rest of the population.


 * 3. World's response **

The Armenians hope that the entire world will know about the genocide and restore what is rightfully their's; their home. They were there for 3000 years until the Turks came along. They want reparations, it doesn't matter if its money-wise or government-wise.

Patience with Germany Ice melting Fan and documents
 * __ What You See __**

Uncle Sam doesnt have any more patience with Germany. Germany is frustrating America. They are getting on America's last nerves. The "heat" between and America and germany is rising. Unhappy, sad, stressed out.
 * __Importance__**

=__A Difficult Peace__= ==

=__**Activity:**__= Germany were humiliated by the Article 231 because it says that they were the ones to blame for World War 1. Germany was not allowed nto have air forces anymore. They had to limit their army and it restricted their Navy to cessels under 100,00 tons. Germany is not able to pay such a toweing debt, but the French were still scared of how Germany were able to recover so quickly. France suffered a lot out of the other parties. The treaty doesnt solve any conflict but start a war.

The Germans had enough of being "put down" so they want to show everyone who was the boss.
