Today, in class, we got on the computer and Mr. Bruns talked more about WWI weapons.
He talked about the genocides that occurred that never got the proper attention as the Holocaust. Such examples are the genocide in the 90's in Rwanda, which I learned about last year in CWI. He talked about the Turkish Massacre of the Armenians.
The WWI Goals- There weren't any real goals at first, but as time went on and casualties and costs increased, winning territory was a must. France wanted to regain Alasace and Lorraine from Germany. They also wanted to get the Saar Basin, which was rich in coal, from Germany. They wanted to create and independent Rhineland to create a buffer area between France and Germany. Also, they desired to get German colonies in Africa, as well as the Turkish colonies in the Mid-East.
Great Britian on the other hand, just wanted those same German and Turkish colonies, but played it much safer because they were and island.
