Homework - Read in the notes up to "The War at Sea" (the quiz will be on this reading). In addition, read the excerpt from the Graphic novel "War of the Trenches" and look at the two linked articles on the graphic novel "The Great War" (both are linked on the class web page)
Question # 1 - Europe before World War One – Bismarck was
quoted as saying, “If there is ever another war in Europe, it will come out of some damned
silly thing in the Balkans.” How did
Bismarck’s actions as Chancellor of Germany contribute to a situation where
“some damned silly thing in the Balkans” could trigger a world war?” (Hint:
you should also go back and look at the notes on the unification of Germany)
