Conflicts of the 20th Century: Jan. 31-Feb. 4



This week we will investigate how nations began to declare war on eachother after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. We will investigate how the alliance system made what could have been a "small" war into the Great War. The map at left shows Germany's war plan to invade France. We will begin to discuss the first battles of WWI, including the Battle of Liege, the Battle of Lorraine, & the First Battle of the Marne. We will also be in the computer lab this week so that students can complete a Weapons of WWI Webquest!




The link below will take you to the main website for the Webquest:
