Conflicts of the 20th Century: Feb. 11-15

The week will start off with students working on their group projects. Presentations will take place on Thursday!  Also, we will continue to look at some of the major battles on the Western Front, including Ypres, Verdun, & the Battle of the Somme. This battle included the debut of the tank in warfare & was one of the bloodiest battles ever fought. Towards the end of the week we will discuss the impact of the war on the Middle East, & the impact of the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire & creation of new nations in the Middle East.
