= Assignment = ** What’s so memorable about World War I? **


 * Historical Context: ** Tensions among the world’s advanced industrialized powers increased rapidly during the last half of the 1800s. These nations sought new sources of raw materials for their growing industries and competed with one another for control of overseas markets. In some cases competition among the industrialized powers reached the point of military threats and confrontations. Tension was particularly high in Europe, where major nations such as Great Britain, France and Germany vigorously pursued economic expansion. These and other developments eventually led to the first global war, World War I, which continues to fascinate historians to the present day. One of the issues still debated among historians is one of causation and responsibility. In a speech in October, 1916, American President Woodrow Wilson said that “no single fact caused the war, but…the whole European system is in a deeper sense responsible for the war, with its combination of alliances and understandings, a complicated texture of intrigues and espionage...” While Wilson believed this to be true, it is essential to discover which nation is responsible for one of the most deadly, vengeful, and hostile conflicts of the 20th century.

The United Nations is holding a commemoration of World War I and has invited young leaders from all the countries that participated to share their country’s perspective of the war. The conference will also have a question and answer session where you will be expected to defend your country’s legacy of WWI.
 * Goal and Audience: ** You will create a scrapbook that commemorates your country’s role in the Great War. The goal is to preserve your country’s legacy so that future generations will understand what your country went through during the first global war.


 * Countries: ** Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Serbia, the United States, Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire (Turkey)

You must answer every question within your virtual scrapbook. You must maintain the perspective of your nation throughout your virtual scrapbook.

For example, political cartoons, newspaper clippings, speeches, photos, journal entries, letter’s home, propaganda posters, etc. You should use mixbook.com
