Conflicts of the 20th Century: Feb. 4-8

This week we will continue our investigation of the Western Front of WWI. We will discuss the brutality of the trenches that soldiers had to endure. Students will read primary source documents from WWI troops that describe the horrible conditions. We will examine how trench warfare created a stalemate on the Western Front that endured for most of the war. Also, we will begin to examine the new weapons used during WWI.
