The First World War is often considered the end of the 19th century and the dawn of the 20th. Let’s discuss the war through three main questions. As always, please draw from the videos and primary sources to assist in discussion.

1. Apart from fitting into our period, how does the First World War link with our previous units? Consider our themes (like imperialism, industrialism, nationalism, etc) and other topics and how these are all connected to each other. Discuss specifics.

2. What role does nationalism and revolution play in the conflict?

3. What can the video clips and primary sources tell us about the wartime experience for soldiers and civilians? What is the long term impact for people and nations around the globe?
