WORLD WAR ONE...THE GREAT WAR

Hi guys and gals!


For this blog assignment, I want you to watch the 2 video clips above...they are short, one is 5 minutes and the other is 7 minutes.  The first video does a good job at looking the 4 M.A.I.N. causes of WWI...the second takes a better look at the affect the war had on all parts of the world...both videos were created for classroom projects by students like you!


After you have watched the videos, you will need to respond to the following question...

LIST AND DEFINE THE 4 MAIN CAUSES OF WORLD WAR ONE AND GIVE AT LEAST ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW THESE "CAUSES" LED TO THE SPARK THAT STARTED THE WAR (THE ASSASSINATION OF THE ARCHDUKE OF AUSTRIA-HUNGARY)


Good Luck!
Mrs. Russell :)
