other countries had to recover from the effects of the first World War and the US was hardly effected by it.
a formal agreement made between two or more countries, e.g. to end a war to form an alliance
During World War I, Russia's role was initially as one of the foremost powers involved on the Triple Alliance (or, Triple Entente) side of the conflict. With Great Britain and France, Russia participated in the war on behalf of countering German and Austro-Hungarian aggression. Later in the war, Russia's role was seriously reduced, as in 1917 it suffered from internal revolution which eventually knocked it out of the war entirely.
bomb shells mainly, but naked was the alternative. That's where the phrase "bloande bombshell" comes from.
The 11th of November is Remembrance Day - the First World War ended on 11 November 1918.
The Royal British Legion (an ex-service organisation) adopted the red poppy as a symbol of remembrance - and as a fundraising device - almost since they were established in 1921.
The use of the poppy comes from the reference ot it in the poem In Flanders' Field.....
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
- Lt.-Col. John McCrae == ==
In world war 1 the central powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire. Italy was part of that alliance but because it switched sides before the name changed from the triple alliance to the central powers it is generally not considered a central power.
It was signed at the Versailles Palace, just outside of Paris, France
you can find radio equipment, weapons, sometimes food, HQ, and ammunition.
bared wire was used mostly to just slow people down and keep people and animals out. that's about it
During World War I, no countries actively supported both sides of the conflict at any time; that is, no country switched sides at some point during the war. While Italy began the war as a "paper ally" of the Central Powers, it did not actively contribute military assistance of any kind to their cause. In 1915, it became a combatant on the side of the Triple Alliance.
there were many countries involved in the battle of passchendaele. Britian, canada and france were fighting against the german!! also some bilgiums were involved!
They reacted by quickly inflating their money supply, in turn debasing it's value, to pay for the war.
