Reasons for Allied Victory


To finish the War we began with the text book, Evidence of War ( green book).
We began by reading and discussing "Attitudes to War and Turning Points", p.97.  We followed this with reading and discussing the sections on US entry into the War in April, 1917, p.100; the Russian defeat and Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, March, 1918, pp 101-102.

Ludendorff's Spring Offensive and the Allied response pp 102-103 was our next focus followed by the reasons for Allied victory pp 104-106.

This work was consolidated with written work from the Edmodo folder The End of the War - Germany Capitulates, End of War Questions, End of War Account, Aftermath of WWI.

The War was truly over with the last bit of work on the Treaty of Versailles and the establishment of the Weimar Republic. This work is on Edmodo March 3, 2014 - Background (cost of the war, human and economic), Background to the treaty (includes questions), Treaty of Versailles (questions), Treaty of Versailles (table/worksheet), Beginning of the Republic (revolution and counter-rev)
