WWI was one of the biggest wars the US has ever seen, 20 million people died in world war 1 and I'm sure a lot more were injured, and yet it only took 4 years of battle to become the the greatest war of the decade. There were a lot of specially made weapons in WWI and 2/3 of them were bayonets that was used mainly by the french and germany.Most of the french used them more for hand to hand combat, but there were some that did use it for long range shooting. The british used mortars that was used as a cannon that launched explosive shells that would land everywhere and kill thousand of people if not, more. Mortars are like bombers in the sense that they both can kill tons of people at the same time.
Questions
1 What do you think is the worst way to die in battle?
I believe the worst way to go out in battle is Getting blownup by a mortar or getting stabbed by a bayonet because you go through a lot of pain.
2 If the archduke wasn't assasinated, do you think the war woud've still eventually happened, or do you think none of the war would've happened?
I believe that it wouldn't have happened if the archduke wasn't assasinated because I believe that the assasination was the biggest cause of WWI.

I think being stabbed or blown up would be the worst way to die in battle because there was not saying that you would die right away and it might have been a slow painful death. I think the war woul dhave still happened because there was still other thing going on that might have sparked it to start.
You're not wrong, being stabbed is a bad way to die, but you can always get surgery and hope you survive, however, if you've blown up, then there's not much you can do to save yourself, and even if you managed to be rescued, there's not much the doctors can do about it besides playing Frankenstein and sewing your body back together.
I think that stabbing be the worst way to die with a bayonet because you don't die right away. Getting shot would be fast. i think the war would still happen because there would be a lot of people still fighting about a lot of similar things.
I think that the worse way would to ether be blow up by a bomb or by being shot down in a plane without a chute so all you would have to do is sit there and ride on the way down and jsut hope for the best. I believe that it still would have happened but just would have started by something else or Germany invading places.
For me the worst way to die is definitely being a prisoner of war (POW). I feel like you would be severly tortured and beaten pretty good, especially back then when there wasn't much against it. I think that if Archduke Fanz Ferdinad did not die then there would still be World War I. There was to much hostility between countries.
If you're tortured you can be discovered and have the minor possibility of survival, It's a terrible way to die but the police may find you and then you would be transported to the hospital tent and stay there.
I think the worst way to die in battle is either from the gas or from the submarine you're inside of being bombarded because the gas is torturous and painful, and the submarine is scary and painful. The assassination of Ferdinand definitely sparked the war, and if you believe in the Butterfly effect, then I suppose you could say that the rest of the war would not have happened if he was not killed. It's hard to say if I think the war would've still happened or not, but I don't think it would've to the extent that it did.
I think the worst way to die in battle is alone. It would be a very cruel way to go because I would rather have my parents and family know how I died rather than it to be unknown. I think the war wouldn't have happend if Archduke died. However, I think the war could have been avoided even if he did die.
Even if you die alone, you still have a chance of having your story told to the population. I'm sure someone would at least catch a glimpse of your body. The person that sees your body may not realize it's you because of how mangled your face would be but you will be noticed by someone.
I think the worst way to die would be from gas. It was explained as almost drowning if you died from gas. I think drowning would be one of the worst ways to die. I don't think the war wouldn't have happened if the Archduke died. However, the war could've been avoided even if he did die.
