	von Schlieffen Plan
		War between the tense countries of Europe may possibly have been inevitable due to old anger over such things as Alsace-Lorraine and duties such as Russia's role as protector of the Slavs, yet it was German military policy that escalated a local Balkan war into World War One.
		Although the Kaiser's first involvement in the dispute that lead to war resulted from her Austrian ally, total war became the outcome due to Germany's military strategy.
		Unfortunately, this relatively neutral act by France was unsatisfactory to the German army and war was declared.

	Causes of World War I
		World War I was the result of leaders' aggression towards other countries which was supported by the rising nationalism of the European nations.
		Economic and imperial competition and fear of war prompted military alliances and an arms race, which further escalated the tension contributing to the outbreak of war.
		At the settlement of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the principle of nationalism was ignored in favor of preserving the peace.

	French and Indian War
		The French had explored and claimed a vast region of the continental interior, ranging from Louisiana in the South to the Great Lakes in the North.
		For the next five years, tensions between the English and the French increased, until in the summer of 1754 the governor of Virginia sent a militia force (under the command of an inexperienced young colonel named George Washington) into the Ohio valley to challenge French expansion.
		Near the beginning of the war, in 1755, the British had expelled French speaking populations in Acadia to Louisiana – creating the Cajun population – but this would not be possible in Canada.

	Great French War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Great French War is an anachronistic British term to describe the period of conflict beginning on April 20, 1792 and continuing until November 20, 1815.
		The wars continued through several régime changes in France (beginning with the deposition of King Louis XVI in 1792 and continuing through the Terror instigated by the Jacobins under Maximilien de Robespierre).
		The period of the war prior to the seizure of power by Bonaparte in 1799 is generally referred to as the Revolutionary Wars and the period afterward is known as the Napoleonic Wars, although both terms are sometimes used to cover the entire period.

	Books & Reading: Chapter One
		With uncanny prescience, the authors of The Great War of 189 —, published in 1891 in the illustrated weekly Black and White, began their imagined war in the Balkans with a royal assassination (an attempt on the life of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, apparently by Russian agents).
		A naval war between the British and the Germans would be the beginning of the end — the collapse of the British Empire and of the European supremacy in Asia and Africa.
		War, he argues, is economically irrational: the fiscal burdens of armaments are excessive, indemnities prove difficult to collect from defeated powers, `trade cannot be destroyed or captured by a military Power' and colonies are not a source of fiscal profit.

	Prelude to the French and Indian War
		The French and Indian War was another in a long series of conflicts involving British colonials, French settlers and soldiers, and Native Americans (Indians) that extend back almost to the earliest days of settlement.
		The French were concerned with establishing a trading network to reap the fur trade and possibly precious metals to fill the coffers of France.
		The French hoped to enforce the claim to the territory made by the great French explorer, La Salle; they also wished to assess the extent of British intrusion and awe the Indians with a show of French force.

	The Great War in a Different Light
		Wars are primarily about fighting and killing, but it would be a great oversimplification to state that that is all they are about.
		Wars can set about vast changes in society, be switching points in history, can be begetters of social movements and the origin of future problems.
		Essentially, both the conflicts that lay at the origin of the Great War as well as the newly created enmities resulting from the Great War remained unresolved and led to a continuation of the great struggle of nations some 20 years later.

	PBS VIDEOdatabase Resource:The Great War: Module 5: Mutiny
		In 1917, after three years of war, the loss of millions of lives, the stalemate on the front lines, and the disruption of nearly every aspect of daily life in all the combatant nations, many people--civilians and soldiers alike--still wanted to continue fighting to victory.
		These values--coupled with hatred, revenge and expectation of victory--led the people to continue supporting the war efforts, even in the face of evidence that their leaders' strategies were grossly inadequate and inappropriate.
		Ask students to study the civilian strikes in various European nations and the U.S. during the war and to compare these strikes in terms of their causes, the activities of the strikers, the reactions of the government, and the short- and long-term effects.

	WWI - The Great War Remembered
		They called it "The Great War," and it was a titanic struggle that decimated Europe and killed the young men who were the brightest hope of that generation.
		When another conflict erupted 20 years later, "The Great War" became simply World War I. The war began in 1914 over "some damn foolish thing in the Balkans," as German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck prophesied.
		At the war's end -- at "the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" -- about 113,000 Americans had paid the ultimate sacrifice.

	HOW NEWSPAPERS COVERED THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR - The Early America Review, Spring 1997
		The news of the war continued unabated in America's press until the French officially relinquished land claims in North America in 1763, and the vast majority of Native Americans east of the Mississippi River either died fighting, succumbed to peace treaties with the English settlers, or moved westward.
		Directly involved, especially on the side of the French, were Native Americans from the St. Lawrence River to the Mississippi River delta,* and the true danger of the French and Indian organization against the British colonists was quickly brought into focus by the publication of George Washington's Journal.
		Newspaper growth during the French and Indian War period is also an indicator of the importance of news of the war to the American colonists.

	[No title]
		The newspaper coverage of French and English fighting from the Ohio Valley through New England and the "Campaign to the Northward" to capture Canada during the French and Indian War tells the story of a fight for a continent.
		It exhibited all the traits of war news with letters from the front, first-hand battle descriptions, official releases in the form of terms of surrender, enemy atrocities, letters supporting the troops, pieces praising soldiers fallen in battle, and biting denunciations of the enemy.
		With Louisbourg fallen and with the English in control of the major French forts on the Canadian border, newspapers began to suggest that the end of the fighting might be in sight.

	France at War - The Dreyfus Case and the French 75
		The new French 75 was technically way ahead of its time: the German and British military did not produce a field gun of comparable performance until nearly the eve of WW 1.
		Alfred Dreyfus was rushed to judgment and unjustly condemned because War Minister General Mercier had believed the falsehoods concocted by Sandherr and Henry, and because some of the graphology experts had inaccurately concluded that the author of the "borderau" was Captain Dreyfus.
		However, the shells and the time fuses of the French 75, particularly the shrapnel shell with a rear explosive charge that makes the shell behave like a huge shotgun at any distance up to 8kms, were not matched by the Germans until 1915.

	The Great Anti-War Films
		Jean Renoir, son of the great French Impressionist painter Auguste Renoir, gained his own renown as one of the most significant filmmakers of the first half of the twentieth century.
		This is the first indication that while politicians wage war, those forced to fight it don’t consider their "enemies" to be enemies at all.
		Watch it and ask yourself if the current war is not just as wasteful, just as hopeless and just as likely to result in the expanded power of the central government at the expense of the liberty of the individual, and at the cost of countless lives and billions of dollars.

		The British victory in that struggle, known in Europe as the Seven Years' War, ended the long struggle among the three principal powers in northeastern North America: The English, the French, and the Iroquois Confederacy, it confirmed England's commercial supremacy and cemented its control of the settled regions of North America.

	The American Revolution
		The Americans' pride in being British reached a high point in 1763, with Britain's great victory in the Seven Years War (known in America as the French and Indian War).
		That victory gained Britain what had been French Canada and all territory east of the Mississippi River, including Spanish Florida.
		Heavily in debt as a result of the war, Britain decided to keep an army in America to secure her new possessions and looked to the colonists to help pay for it.

		By the time the Great War broke out in 1914, it had been quite feasible for several years to take true color photographs.
		The results were satisfactory, but the process was still rather unwieldy as exposure times were long and the price tag much much higher than for simple fl and white photos.
		Yet by the time of the Great War, french magazines especially had been publishing color illustrations for many years.
