Flamethrower- One of the many new weapons created in World War 1. It is a flame based weapon which was used to ignite people in flames. There are two different kinds of flamethrowers: 1) A flamethrower that produces and ignited flammable liquid; 2) A flamethrower that produces a stream of ignited flammable gas.

Tank- A newly industrialized tracked, heavily armored vehicle. Fires from a large caliber gun which is supported by other smaller machine guns.
Machine Gun- Another newly created weapon which is fully automatic and even though it is less accurate, because it fires so many rounds so quickly, the kill rate is still high and the gun still very effective.
Submarine- A vehicle capable of submerging itself in water and was used to 
fight other submarines or ships above water.
fight other submarines or ships above water.Airplane- A heavier-than-air craft whose movement of wings in relation to the aircraft does not generate lift. And airplane either uses propellers or has huge engines mounted on either side to help propel it through the air.
3” Mortar- A hollow tube that could be set at different angles to decide the position of fire. A bomb would be dropped into the muzzle of the mortar and then launch it into enemy positions.
Day 4 – August 3, 1914
No man's land is a term used during war for an area of land that neither side wants to venture to for fear of being attacked. In WW1, "no man's land" was a term used to describe an area between to trenches that neither side would venture to for fear of being attacked while in move. This area was very open and allowed for easy sight of the enemy which allowed fire to be put on the enemy.
Day 6 – August 5, 1914
During WW1, a new type of biological warfare was created through the use of dangerous or even deadly gases. These gases ranged from disabling chemicals such as tear gases and mu
stard gas, to lethal gases like phosgene. Although only 4% of military deaths came from these gases, the non-fatal casualties were high which installed fear within the people enlisted in the military. The effects of mustard gas included blistering the gas, making the victims vomit, and the eyes became very sore. The effects of tear gas were just blinding the victims temporarily to disarm the enemy. The gas brought tears to their eyes.
Day 10 – August 9, 1914
The Red Baron, a.k.a. Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen, a.k.a. Red Devil, a.k.a. Little Red, was a German fighter pilot during WW1 and was known for his 80 air combat victories. He was killed one morning after being shot down while flying over Morlancourt Ridge near the Sommer River. He was shot down by a Canadian pilot that used to go to school with him. Hi aircraft vehicle was shot by a .303 bullet that caused severe damage to his heart and lungs.
Day 11 – August 10, 1914
The Schlieffen Plan was a military plan created by Alfred Graf von Schlieffen who was ordered by Kaiser Wilhelm to devise a military plan scaling a two-front attack. Alfred created the Schlieffen Plan which was a two-front attack in which the Germans would launch an attack first on East Russia before they could retaliate and then repeat with West Prussia. This would allow the domination of their enemy because the enemy would not be expecting this type of full two-frontal attack.
Day 14 – August 13, 1914
The assassination of the Archduke acted as a catalyst to the war because it created high tensions. After the assassination, it was like a rush to retaliate and attack the enemy which created a war. If Gavrilo Princip would not have killed the Archduke, there probably would have been no war.
Day 17 – August 16, 1914
Helen Burrey was a nurse that presided in WW1 and was one of the first to be put on the American Expeditionary Forces. She wrote in her journal about how she was so surprised at the modern technology that was in her room at the time, such as a dining room, two sleeping rooms, and a small bathroom that was triangular shaped (lavatory) which contained a small washbowl and a toilet.
Day 21 – August 20, 1914
“Pal Battalions” are a group of recruits from a certain area in order to group together friends and family. I don’t think that this would be such a good method of set up because it would be very hard to watch as your friends and family was shot down. The pain of these sights would be unbearable.
