The Battle of Arras began in October 1914 as an attempt by the French Army to outflank the German Army and prevent its movement towards the English Channel during the Race to the Sea. The French Army initially succeeded in pushing the German forces back until reaching the town of Douai, but a German counterattack and additional attacks from three corps forced the French to withdraw towards Arras. While France was unable to hold back the German Army, resulting in the loss of Lens, they did manage to hold the city of Arras.

Layman's guide to The Battle of the Somme
The Battle of the Somme was a major battle in World War 1 that took place from July to November 1916 along the Somme River in France. It began as a large British and French offensive to relieve pressure on the French army fighting at Verdun, but became best known for the massive losses suffered by the British on the first day, with over 57,000 casualties. Though the battle resulted in heavy losses on both sides, it succeeded in stopping the German attack at Verdun and gained some territory for the Allies, at the cost of over 420,000 British and Empire casualties and around 500,000 German casualties over the course of the 141-day battle.

WWI Presentation
The Battle of Somme was a major World War I battle that took place from July to November 1916 along a 30km front in northern France. Over 1 million British and French soldiers attacked German positions, but suffered over 600,000 casualties, especially on the first day where 58,000 British soldiers were killed. The battle resulted in small territorial gains for the Allies but drained German resources. New technologies like tanks were first used during the Somme but had limited success. By November heavy snow and losses on both sides ended the offensive.

1st+Battle+Of+Marne (1)
The First Battle of the Marne took place from September 6-12, 1914 near the Marne River in France. French and British forces had been retreating from advancing German forces and made a stand along the Marne to protect Paris. During the battle, the Germans continued to gain ground but were stopped when French reinforcements arrived by taxi from Paris. The Allied forces then launched a surprise attack through a gap in the German lines, forcing the Germans to retreat and ending their hopes for a quick victory in France. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and began digging trenches, marking the beginning of trench warfare on the Western Front.
Battle of the Somme
The Battle of the Somme was one of the bloodiest battles of World War 1, lasting from July to November 1916 along the Somme River in France. Over 1 million British and French soldiers faced off against German forces. On the first day of the battle, July 1, the British suffered over 57,000 casualties, with many troops getting trapped in uncut barbed wire. Though the Allies captured over 25km of land by the end of the battle, it resulted in over 600,000 casualties between the three armies and was seen more as a military disaster than a victory due to the massive loss of life.
12 things you might not know about the battle of the somme
The Battle of the Somme was originally planned as a French-led offensive in August 1916, but Germany's attack on Verdun forced France to remain defensive. As a result, the British launched an offensive on the Somme in July 1916 to divert German resources from Verdun. Over 1 million soldiers were killed or wounded over the course of the battle, making it one of the bloodiest battles in history, with the British suffering over 57,000 casualties on the first day alone. Tanks were first used in battle during the Somme, and massive mines were detonated under German lines in the opening attacks.

The Battle of Somme
The Battle of Somme took place from July 1st to November 18th, 1916 along the Somme River in France. The objectives of the British and French forces were to relieve pressure on the French at Verdun and drain German resources. On the first day, the British suffered over 60,000 casualties while advancing slowly towards German trenches in broad daylight. Overall, over 1 million soldiers from both sides were killed or wounded, making it one of the bloodiest battles in history. Neither side gained significant strategic advantages and the battle resulted in very heavy losses on both sides.
Lecture 4
The document summarizes major events of World War 1 from 1915-1916. It discusses Winston Churchill's failed Gallipoli campaign against the Ottoman Empire, the ongoing battles and losses on the Eastern Front for Russia, Italy joining the war against Germany and Austria, the first use of poison gas by Germany, and the devastating battles of Verdun and the Somme that resulted in over a million casualties each with little territorial gain.
The Great War Stalemate
The document summarizes the stalemate of trench warfare on the Western Front during World War 1. It describes how both sides dug in after the failed Schlieffen Plan led to a stalemate at the First Battle of the Marne in 1914. Trench lines then circled the entire Western Front as both sides attacked but neither could gain ground, resulting in massive casualties over four years until improved technology and industry eventually broke the deadlock.
Battle of the somme
General Haig led British forces during the Battle of the Somme in World War I. The battle lasted from July to November 1916 and resulted in extremely high casualties, with over 60,000 British soldiers killed on the first day alone. As a result, Haig became known by some as the "Butcher of the Somme" for perceived disregard for British lives. However, others argue Haig was under pressure to launch attacks to relieve French forces and boost British morale, and was operating under the challenges of modern trench warfare, which no one was fully prepared for. The massive casualties on both sides indicate the battle was at least partially successful in engaging German forces. There is no consensus on whether Haig deserves his nickname or was simply a product of the demands
The Battle of the Somme
The Battle of the Somme in 1916 was a joint British-French offensive intended to relieve pressure on the French at Verdun by diverting German forces. The plan was for a week-long artillery bombardment followed by infantry attacks, with cavalry then exploiting any breakthrough. However, the bombardment warned the Germans and failed to destroy barbed wire or targets fully. On July 1st, the first day, over 60,000 British soldiers were killed or wounded as they went over the top into machine gun fire. By November, over 450,000 British and French soldiers and 650,000 Germans had been killed for minimal gains. The battle became a symbol of the war's futility and cost.
Battle Of The Somme Ww1
The Battle of the Somme took place from July 1 to November 18, 1916 along the Somme River in France. It began as a British-led offensive aimed at weakening Germany's military power but later shifted to relieving pressure from Germany. On the first day alone, over 58,000 soldiers were killed, including one-third of the British forces engaged. Tanks were used in battle for the first time during the Somme, which saw heavy casualties over its duration as forces fought over trenches in no man's land.
Why was the war not over by december
The Schlieffen Plan was devised in 1905 to prevent Germany from fighting wars on two fronts. It involved a rapid invasion of France through Belgium and Luxembourg, while maintaining a small force in the east to defend against Russia. The plan failed in 1914 due to unexpected Belgian resistance, Britain's entry into the war, and Russia's quicker than anticipated mobilization. As a result, Germany was unable to defeat France quickly and the war dragged on for over four years of trench warfare.
Europe Erupts In War
This document summarizes major events in Europe and Asia from 1939-1941 during WWII. It describes Hitler's conquest of Czechoslovakia and establishment of pacts with Italy and the Soviet Union. It then outlines Germany's invasion of Poland which led Britain and France to declare war. Despite this, the winter of 1939-1940 involved minimal conflict, known as the "Sitzkrieg." In 1940, Germany successfully invaded Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium and France. Britain evacuated its troops at Dunkirk but continued fighting alone under Winston Churchill's leadership during the Battle of Britain. Meanwhile, tensions grew in Asia as Japan expanded its military and occupied French Indochina.
Battle of the marne rough draft
The document summarizes key details about the Second Battle of the Marne in July 1918. It describes two American divisions that played prominent roles in the battle: the 3rd Infantry Division, which protected Paris and earned the nickname "Rock of the Marne", and the 369th Infantry Regiment, the first African American regiment to serve with American forces in WWI, nicknamed the "Harlem Hellfighters". It also notes memorial sites built in the region to honor soldiers who fought in the battle.
The battle of the somme
The Battle of the Somme took place from July 1 to November 18, 1916 along the Somme River in France. It was one of the largest and bloodiest battles of World War I, resulting in over 1 million casualties between British, French, and German forces. The Somme River is located in Picardy, northern France. Life in the trenches during the battle was miserable, as soldiers lived in wet and dirty conditions with little food and water. They resorted to eating disgusting things like fried lice. The initial British attack was not well planned and failed to neutralize German defenses, though tanks were used for the first time during the battle.
Why was there stalemate on the western front
For the first two months of WWI, both sides engaged in mobile warfare in France and Belgium, but by Christmas 1914 the fighting settled into static trench warfare along the Western Front. An initial German plan to quickly defeat France through Belgium failed at the Battle of the Marne in September. This led to a "Race to the Sea" as both sides tried to outflank each other, ultimately resulting in a line of opposing trenches from the North Sea to the Swiss border. The Battle of Verdun, which began in February 1916 as a German effort to bleed France dry defending the symbolic fortress city, became the longest battle of WWI, lasting until December 1916 with enormous casualties on both sides. In an effort to relieve pressure on
Battle of Britain

The Battle of the Somme in 1916 saw the British suffer approximately 57,000 casualties on the first day, and resulted in over 1 million casualties by its conclusion in November. The Gallipoli Campaign in 1915 was an Allied attempt to invade the Ottoman Empire through the Gallipoli Peninsula that failed with high Turkish and British losses. During Christmas in 1914, German and Allied troops briefly ceased fighting
The Battle Of Britain.
The Battle of Britain took place from July 1940 to May 1941 as Germany sought to gain air supremacy over Britain in preparation for Operation Sea Lion, a planned invasion of the island country. The battle was the first major campaign fought entirely by air forces and saw intense aerial battles between the German Luftwaffe and British Royal Air Force over southern England throughout the summer and fall of 1940, until the Germans were forced to abandon their plans for invasion due to heavy losses.
Task 8.5 Sequence World War I

The world war i
The document summarizes key events related to the start and major battles of World War I. It explains that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led to escalating alliances that drew European powers into war. Three major battles discussed are the First Battle of the Marne in 1914, the Gallipoli campaign in 1915, and the Battle of Jutland in 1916. The war ended on November 11, 1918 with the signing of an armistice between Germany and Allied forces.
Africa’S Rulers
Sundiata was an early ruler of Mali who unified the kingdom and established its power through military conquests and improvements to agriculture. Mansa Musa led Mali to wealth and prominence in the 1300s through expanding its trade empire and an influential pilgrimage to Mecca. Songhai rose as a rival to Mali, gaining independence after Mali grew weak. Under Sunni Ali and Askia the Great, Songhai became a powerful empire through conquests and strong administration, with Askia supporting education and Islam.
Battles
The document summarizes several major battles of World War 1, including the Battle of Tannenberg between German and Russian forces in 1914, the lengthy and devastating Battle of Verdun between German and French armies from 1916-1917, and the massive Battle of the Somme in 1916 that resulted in over 1 million casualties for British, French and German forces. It also discusses the 1914 Battle of the Marne that stopped the initial German offensive, the failed Gallipoli Campaign by British and French forces against the Ottoman Empire, trench warfare stalemate on the Western Front, and the Christmas Truce of 1914 when opposing troops briefly ceased fire to celebrate the holiday together.
Thesis outline
This document provides an overview of a comparative study between the Homeric epics of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and the epic of Sundiata. It discusses oral tradition, contextualizing the poems, and the structure of the thesis. The thesis will compare how accurately each epic represents the historical context of the events depicted, addressing limitations of oral tradition. It analyzes how Homer more accurately reflects 8th century BC Greece than 12th century BC, and aims to contextualize Sundiata within 13th century Mali or later periods.

Africa’S Rulers
Sundiata was an early ruler of Mali who unified the kingdom and established its power through military conquests and improvements to agriculture. Mansa Musa led Mali to wealth and prominence in the 1300s through expanding its trade empire and an influential pilgrimage to Mecca. Songhai rose as a rival to Mali, gaining independence after Mali grew weak. Under Sunni Ali and Askia the Great, Songhai became a powerful empire through conquests and strong administration, with Askia supporting education and Islam.
Battles
The document summarizes several major battles of World War 1, including the Battle of Tannenberg between German and Russian forces in 1914, the lengthy and devastating Battle of Verdun between German and French armies from 1916-1917, and the massive Battle of the Somme in 1916 that resulted in over 1 million casualties for British, French and German forces. It also discusses the 1914 Battle of the Marne that stopped the initial German offensive, the failed Gallipoli Campaign by British and French forces against the Ottoman Empire, trench warfare stalemate on the Western Front, and the Christmas Truce of 1914 when opposing troops briefly ceased fire to celebrate the holiday together.
Thesis outline
This document provides an overview of a comparative study between the Homeric epics of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and the epic of Sundiata. It discusses oral tradition, contextualizing the poems, and the structure of the thesis. The thesis will compare how accurately each epic represents the historical context of the events depicted, addressing limitations of oral tradition. It analyzes how Homer more accurately reflects 8th century BC Greece than 12th century BC, and aims to contextualize Sundiata within 13th century Mali or later periods.

Mali then rose to power from 1200-1500 AD under Mansa Musa, becoming the second largest empire after Mongolia. Songhay broke away from Mali in 1350 and expanded along the Niger River until internal revolts caused its fall in 1600. These kingdoms grew powerful through their strategic positions facilitating trade between Africa, Europe, and Asia.

The Schlieffen Plan aimed to quickly defeat France before focusing on Russia, but it failed as the Western Front descended into trench warfare by late 1914. Russia's entry helped the Allies at first, but the nation withdrew from the war in 1917 after the Communist Revolution. The United States entry in 1917 boosted the Allies and compensated for Russia's exit, helping turn the tide of the war.
Political Responses to the Great Depression
Political parties in Canada responded differently to address the hardships caused by the Great Depression:
1) Prime Minister R.B. Bennett initially cut services and raised tariffs but later proposed social reforms inspired by FDR's New Deal. However, Canadians blamed him for prolonging the Depression and elected MacKenzie King in 1935.
2) "Bible Bill" Aberhart's Social Credit party promised monthly prosperity certificates for Albertans but never delivered.
3) J.S. Woodsworth's Co-operative Commonwealth Federation advocated for unemployment insurance, healthcare, and pensions, influencing future social programs.
4) Maurice Duplessis blamed foreign ownership of Quebec industries for the Depression and formed the Union Nation
Amazing Africa Facts
Africa is a large continent covering over 20% of Earth's total land area with over 2,000 languages spoken. Rwanda has a high percentage of female representation in parliament with 56% of seats occupied by women compared to 14% in the United States. Lesotho has the highest minimum altitude in the world and Sudan has over 200 pyramids of its own.
The Armenian Genocide
The Armenian genocide was a systematic killing of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire from 1915-1923. The Young Turk government saw the Armenian population as a threat and used World War I as cover to begin mass deportations and killings. Men were killed, women and children were raped and murdered during forced marches. After the war, the new nation of Turkey refused to acknowledge the genocide and still denies it occurred despite photographic evidence. Recognizing this genocide is important to prevent future atrocities.

Causes of the Great Depression Powerpoint
The Great Depression was caused by a combination of long-term and short-term factors. In the long term, conservative economic policies led to unequal wealth distribution, overproduction of goods, and an unstable farming industry. In the short term, unregulated banking practices and rampant stock market speculation fueled a bubble that burst with the 1929 stock market crash, wiping out personal wealth and savings. As businesses and banks failed in the aftermath, unemployment rose sharply, deepening the economic collapse throughout the 1930s.
5 Main Causes of the Great Depression
The document analyzes 5 main causes of the Great Depression:
1) The Farm Depression of the 1920s caused by falling prices and overproduction in farming. Many farmers lost money and their farms.
2) Overproduction in industry where wages did not rise enough for workers to buy the surplus factory output.
3) Uneven distribution of income where industrial wages rose slowly compared to a 75% rise for the top 1% of incomes.
4) High tariffs and war debts where European nations owed the US money but their economies were devastated so they could not buy US goods.
5) The 1929 stock market crash where many investors bought on margin and prices dropped, causing brokers to call in loans
Causes Of Great Depression
The document discusses several causes that contributed to the Great Depression in the United States in the late 1920s and 1930s. Key factors included an unequal distribution of wealth that left many unable to purchase goods, high tariffs and war debts that reduced international trade, and overproduction in agriculture and industry that led to surpluses. The stock market crash of 1929 further exacerbated the economic crisis and led to a financial panic as banks began to fail.

Teaching Bible and History half-time, creating during the other half, and during the "third half" studying history and the Bible. Hi! My name is Pete. I am really into my project of creating sound-less PowerPoint presentations of US History, intended for the classroom teacher, the parents of home-schoolers, or the historically obsessed. It takes time to create the lessons, but it’s fun for this old retired teache. I find that narrations are too difficult to fit my lessons. The teacher or viewer should control the speed of the video, stopping/pausing where necessary to amplify, correct, discuss, or criticize. There will be a huge set of lessons on World War II events in depth. There will be a huge set of lessons on the Bible. I trust you will enjoy the lessons as much as I did creating them. Q and A are inserted throughout for fun or annoyance, hopefully for teaching moments and discussions. Should be great for the high school classroom or the home-schoolers. But, I like reading/viewing my own stuff, I think it’s good, I learn….or recall more history with every viewing. Watch for the battles like the first, Island Hopping-the war in the Pacific (WWII).
