- 1908 Austria annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina Serbia who had
hoped to rule these provinces became upset. Tension between Serbia
and Austria grew Serbia continually vowed to take the land back
Austria continually vowed to crush any Serbian effort of the land
Eventually the heir to the Austrian throne was killed by a Serbian
nationalist
- Slide 10
- This was the trigger that started it all June 1914 Archduke
Franz Ferdinand, Heir to the Austrio-Hungary throne and his wife
shot dead while visiting the capital of Serbia. Assassins were
Serbian, so Austria used the assassinations as an excuse to punish
Serbia. Austria gave Serbia an ultimatum, in which Austria only
honored a few demands Austria was upset with this and declared war
on Serbia. That same day Russian troops were ordered towards the
Austrian border. War was now inevitable.

- Technology of killing There were new weapons not being used
efficiently because they werent completely understood Airplanes -
of little importance in battle Fun Facts about planes in the warFun
Facts about planes in the war Machine guns - very effective Mow
troops down, considered a weapon of mass destruction Mustard Gas
Quickly became ineffective because of gas masks Wind could blow gas
back on aggressor
- Slide 16
- Planes The early years of war saw canvas-and-wood aircraft used
primarily to function as mobile observation vehicles. This was an
improvement over the vulnerable Zeppelin and the immobile
observation balloon. Enemy pilots at first exchanged waves and
later progressed to throwing bricks and other objects (grenades and
sometimes rope, which they hoped would tangle their enemy's
propeller), which eventually progressed to guns. Once the guns were
mounted to their planes, the era of air combat began. Image -

- Slide 17
- Chemical Warfare Chemical warfare was a major distinguishing
factor of the war. Only a small portion of casualties were caused
by gas Caused blindness and death by choking achieved harassment
and psychological effects. Effective countermeasures to gas were
found in gas masks Its effectiveness was diminished. Wind could
blow gases back at aggressor
- Slide 18
- Machine Guns combination of machine guns and barbed wire
responsible for greatest # of deaths Guns now lighter and more
mobile Maxim gun from earlier wars had wheels BAR (Browning
Automatic Rifle) Gas operated 16 to 19 lbs. Semi or fully
automatic
- Slide 19
- Tanks Armored combat vehicle used mostly for crossing rough
terrain and over barbed wire. Introduced by the British in 1916
Armored cars used before tanks The name tank came when the British
shipped them in crates marked "tanks trying to cover up what they
really were Image - www.msu.edu/user/

- Communication Communication: In 1914 both radios and telephones
were the main ways of communication. These were very vital for the
troops in trenches. However, that did not mean that messengers,
dogs and pigeons were out of business.
