There was a clear expectation that WW1 would be a quick, offensive military war over by Christmas. Introduction of new technology such as munitions and tanks changed the structure of war as many were not prepared for modern warfare. Millions of men participated in war along with vast numbers of horses and later trucks, there was a great need for food and medical supplies however, it was hard to sustain. There were many war plans made such as the Schlieffen Plan; a plan devised to avoid war on two fronts, Germans to defeat France and turn back to Russia with a hammer swing, and Plan 17; was the French mobilisation plan. Modifications were made to the plans…
On October 9, 1781, the Americans had finished digging their trenches around Yorktown where their artillery would be located. Over the next several days the French and the American artillery would fire over 15,000 rounds into fortified British positions. The constant bombardment was critical for Washington’s plan to work. It suppressed the British ability to organize a effective counter-fire and gave the ground forces the cover they needed to move closer and dig another trench closer to the British positions. To complete the trench, the Franco/American forces would have to capture two redoubts (small fortified outposts). On October 14, each force sent 400 men to capture redoubts 9 and 10. It took them less than 30 minutes to capture both…

World War One was a four year war, it started in 1914 and ended in 1918.over 12 countries were involved, for example Belgium, France, Italy and America. WW1 started for many reasons. For instance militarism (building up strong armed forces to prepare for war), Alliances (an agreement between counties to work together to achieve a common goal), imperialism (policy of powerful countries seeking to control the economic and political affairs of weaker or smaller countries) and nationalism (strong feeling of pride, loyalty and protectiveness for ones country. Also Germany wanted control over the world. WW1 was very special though. It was unique for many reasons, like Trench Warfare, propaganda and all of the new weaponry.…
During World War I warfare was carried out using one the most familiar elements of modern warfare and soldiers were forced to live in the extremely horrible living conditions of The Trenches. A trench warfare is a kind of fight where each side digs deep trenches down in the ground to defend themselves against the enemy. The trenches of World War 1 stretched for miles in order to enable one side to get the upper hand on the other. The trenches were dug by soldiers themselves they would make the trenches by digging directly down into the ground which speeded up the digging process , but at the same time left the soldiers exposed to be fired on by the enemy as they dug. These trenches were sometimes even formed in places where you couldn’t break…

The Shallows explores the idea of technology’s evolution on our minds. The internet as it is today is constantly changing how we read, write and think. Nicholas Carr wants us to realize and see the effects this new technology is having on not just us, but our culture. How we think about knowledge, what we are gaining from it and losing. Essentially, The Shallows isn’t just about how we’re changing from technology, but how Carr implements deep reflection by emphasizing academic and cognitive research. To simply put, Carr has written a book with deep thought about shallow…
I have not written to you in quite some time, but not a day goes by I am not thinking about you. Much time has passed, but I don't suspect I'll be home by Christmas. Our soldiers are exhausted. Days are spent walking knee deep in mud and worse, sometimes waist deep in mud. Many of the men need rest but there is a war that has just begun. My sleeps are less than one hour at a time but I am constantly interrupted by the violent images I have witnessed.…
