In reply to Tim. One of my favorite facts of WW1 is that a large part of the war included the use of Dreadnoughts. Dreadnoughts are large battleships that dominated the seas during the war. Countries would win and lose battles at sea based over the amount, power, and stability of these dreadnoughts.

There were 40 million casualties in total, and it all started because a Serbian (Gavrilo Princip) killed an Austrian (Archeduke Franz Ferdinand, also his wife) in Bosnia.

When it comes to WWI, I find it interesting that it was the first war to involve planes in combat. Planes have played such vital roles throughout war history and it is amazing to think that all started in WWI.

I don’t know much, but I know the Versailles Treaty was the peace treaty that ended WW1!

My favorite thing about World War 1 was the Christmas truce. It makes me so happy to hear about how even in the middle of a war, people can recognize that everyone is a person, and Christmas is just the best time of year!

One of my favorite facts from World War I has to be the Schlieffen Plan. Germany had this perfectly thought out plan, they could’ve easily captured Paris and won the war. However, somewhere along the way there must have been some miscommunication. The execution of the plan was where it went wrong. It just shows how important communicating with people can be and how such a small detail could’ve changed the entire course of the world.

My favorite fact about WWI happens to be the Christmas truce. It is so fascinating to me that two sides of a war would come together and celebrate together. This truce goes to show that wars are not always black and white. There are two sides to every story. Not many people can say that they celebrated Christmas with the enemy. They even played soccer together!

I don’t know that much about World War One, (I know stuff about World War Two though)

I fact I found that was interesting was that after the war Germany made bike tires out of metal springs because there wasn’t enough rubber available.
