WWI Technology Rapid Firing Machine Gun Poison Gas Flamethrower Airplanes Artillery Field Guns Tanks Submarines (U Boats) 21. This armored vehicle ran on caterpillar treads and was built of steel allowing bullets to bounce off. It was built to go over rough ground and barbed wire and had limited success in maneuvering over the trenches. 22. This new weapon was used to destroy the enemy by launching burning fuel which set fire both to men and their surroundings. It was most effective for the terror it created, causing panic in enemy lines which could then be exploited. 23. This weapon could fire as many as 600 bullets per minute. Because it made a direct assault difficult, it is largely responsible for keeping WWI soldiers in the trenches during the War. 24. These long-range cannons caused more casualties than any other type of weapon. Their range and fire-power led to increased civilian casualties as well as livestock and property destruction. 25. This weapon made long-range reconnaissance possible and was also used for bombing and dog-fighting 26. This chemical weapon was used to sicken, suffocate, burn, blind or kill its victims, forcing soldiers to wear masks. Varieties such as chlorine, phosgene, and mustard were used 27.

IV. Important Acts, Actions and major events in and after WWI Espionage Act Sedition Act Schenk v.

This was sunk in May 1915, and 1200 passengers, including 128 Americans were killed. Although the US did not declare war as a result of this incident, public opinion against Germany grew immensely 29.

Created in 1917, a form of conscription in the US. All men between 21-30 (age 18 today) must register with this civilian-run organization, and a random lottery determines the order in which men are drafted into the military. 31.

This act imposed penalties and prison terms for giving aid to the enemy. Also for disloyalty (draft-dodging), giving false reports and interfering with the war effort 36. These were advocated by President Wilson after WWI and were intended to be implemented as a means to ease international tensions and prevent war. 37. Formally ended WWI. The US did not sign it, instead made separate peace treaties with each Central Power Nation. It broke up or greatly weakened many world empires. 38. This was an organization created after WWI whose goal it was to preserve peace and prevent future wars by pledging to respect and protect each country s territory and political independence.

This population shift brought black Americans from the rural south to the northern cities permanently changing the racial make-up of many northern cities 40. This was Germany s policy of sinking merchant/passenger ships without warning (against int l treaty). Germany s resumption of this policy in 1917 was one issue that changed President Wilson s mind about keeping the US out of war and brought us into WWI 41. This was Germany s offer to Mexico suggesting that if Mexico ally itself with Germany, in the event of a Central Powers victory, Mexico would be granted its lost US territory (TX, NM, AZ). It s publication convinced many Americans that the US should enter the war.
