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.

The 1914 ‘July Crisis’ was the preceding act to the First World War - a period of diplomatic wrangling which concluded
in the Great Powers of Europe declaring war upon one another in early August.
The catalyst to the July crisis, and indeed the entire war, was the assassination of the heir to the Austrian Hungarian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28th by Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip.
For the more hawkish elements of the Austro-Hungarian leadership, the assassination provided a welcome pretext to quash troublesome pan-slavic nationalism. But they saw their victory as pre-ordained and did not dream of igniting a European conflict - but that is exactly what happened.
This is an example of how I incorporate geography into my keynotes. Almost every slide has animation to help the student stay interested and grasp the larger concepts surrounding WWI: imperialism, foreign relations, boundary shifts, etc.
Overview of trench warfare in WWI with effects it had on the war and the soldiers involved. At the end, it includes an assignment for students to practice writing a "primary" document.
