Was the 863 battalion in the battle of the buldge?

There was the 863rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion (Automatic Weapons), which was among the "corps troops" of the V Corps, US First Army, which was in the Battle of the Bulge. The US Army had, besides its divisions, hundreds of "independent battalions" of various types, which were "independent" because they were not a permanent part of any larger formation. These battalions were assigned to corps HQs (where they were referred to as "corps troops") or field army HQs (where they were referred to as "army troops"). These included artillery of several calibers, signals, combat engineers, tank, tank destroyer battalions, and so on. All AAA battalions were "separate" or "independent" battalions. If you want to search the net include among your search terms "863rd AAA (AW) Bn". I've included a link below, under "Related Links" which is an "Order of Battle" (a list of all units involved) for the Bulge.

How did the war plans for World War 1 make war more likely?

because everyone had their alliances.. and so if one country was threatened, then their allies would threaten the country that threatened them, then that country would get their allies.. They all planned to help each other out, if needed..

Kind of like in high school, how if someone gets threaten to be beaten up, they get their older siblings and their friends to threaten to beat up the person that threatened them. Then that person gets their older siblings and their friends to threaten all of them, then before you know it, everyone is at each others necks.. and there is a huge rumble.. or whatever its called.

What effect did the artillery in ww1 on men?

Well, the constant bombardment of shells could cause the mental illness of shell shock. the symptoms being headaches, giddiness, lack of concentration and so on.... If men had shell shock they could not cope with the overwhelming pressure and so used to attempt to escape but were usually caught and were shot at dawn or tied to a post within the range of the enemy fire so they would be killed.

Not nice.

So men were lucky to survive the artillery fire - they could be killed by a direct hit or the effects of the explosion.

Why was it logical for Bulgaria to side with the Central Powers?

Bulgaria's decision to side with the Central Powers during World War I was largely influenced by territorial ambitions and historical grievances. The country sought to reclaim territories lost in previous conflicts, particularly from Serbia and Romania, which aligned with the Central Powers' goals. Additionally, Bulgaria faced the threat of Serbian expansion and saw an alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary as a means to secure its national interests and sovereignty. The promise of territorial gains and the potential for regional dominance made this alignment logical for Bulgaria at the time.
