Between 1914 and 1918, over nine million soldiers and five civilians were killed and seven million men disabled permanently (Mintz). This tragic phenomenon is known as World War I. Leaving the world with $186 billion direct costs and $251 billion indirect costs, this World War is known to be the most expensive war in history (Mintz). These four years also impacted the civilians not involved in the war severely. Women were given a chance to have a job in the workforce, children had to work in order to feed themselves, and an influenza epidemic was brought into communities (Mintz and Wotherspoon). World War I soon turned into a “group effort”; it turned into a Total War. Initially starting off as an encouraging and positive experience, World War I eventually turned into a brutal, selfish, and chaotic battle, and left millions of

World War one, or ‘The Great war’ first started in late June 1914, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated causing threats to start the war by mid August. This was a chance to introduce the world to modernised weaponry such as gas bombs, machine guns and tanks. Australia has always been known as the country where anything goes. Where we enjoy gathering together to enjoy all of Australia’s achievements. That was no different in 1914. Australia was thrilled with the idea of going to war, we wanted the chance to show the world what we could give. Even though Australia had no choice in matter of going to war as it was already arranged. Gallipoli is known as a successful failure

The Great War is remembered in history as one of the most gruesome and bloody wars in history. Millions of people died for their countries on foreign fields of battle, all the while in their homelands their fellow citizens suffered the effects of total war. Citizens of the warring nations entered the Great War unprepared and unrealistic. They truly believed that the war would be a way to lift off steam for all countries and that the death count would remain low. They believed that the war would be over in a few months, in time for Christmas. Fueled by nationalism and military exuberance millions of troops marched into battle against their foes and eight million troops lost their lives to the brutality. Total war broke out on both the battle

World War I impacted both the battlefield and the home fronts greatly. There were many different effects on the European home fronts during the war. People were enthusiastic and excited for the war. They believed in their country and ready to go. As the war progressed, many got angry that it was still going on. This anger caused protests and fighting at home. The war also caused many changes with women, mainly women’s desire for more rights. World War I affected and changed many things over the course of the four

The Gallipoli campaign impacted Australian society in many ways. This includes; the great loss of young men, changes in traditional women’s roles in the community and how Australia was recognised as a worthy country by Britain and other parts of the world. World War 1, otherwise known as the Great War, began on the 28th of July 1914 and continued until the 11th of November 1918. Countries such as Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire battled against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan and the United States. When the war was over, the Allied Powers claimed their victory.

After the build-up of tension and the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, World War 1 began on the 4th August 1914 between the Central Powers, led by Germany, and the Allies, led by Britain. When Britain, in order to defend Belgium, declared war on Germany on the 4th August, Australian Prime Minster Joseph Cook also declared war on Germany. In commemorations which honour the Australians who fought in the war, there should not only be a focus on the events of Gallipoli, but also on the Western Front and the significance of Australia’s involvement in World War 1. Australia had strong ties with Britain and automatically became involved in the war to support Britain. Not surprisingly, many Australians rushed to enlist, for various reasons.

There were many impacts on the Australians home front throughout World War 1. World War I also known as the Great War took place from July 28th 1914 to November 11th 1918. These impacts included the Australian Commonwealth Government passing the War Precautions Act that gave the government many wartime powers including which were not supported by the constitution; the impact women made towards the war effort; how people with heritage from countries in the triple alliance who were living in Australia were known as enemy aliens and were often sent to internment camps; and the many different effects on the Australian economy. These different impacts on the Australian home front that created a change in how Australian society worked.

The First World War, also known as the Great War, began in about 1914 and went on until 1918. This brutal war was an extremely bloody time for Europe and the soldiers that fought in it. These men spent their days in trenches holding down bases and taking in attacks from all sides. The soldier's only free time was consumed with writing letters to those on the home front. The letters they wrote contain heart breaking stories of how their days were spent and the terrible signs of war. The War consumed them and many of them let out all their true feelings of war in their letters to loved ones. In The First World War: A brief History With Documents we can find some of these letters that help us understand what the First World War might have

World War I outbroke in August 1914 when countries were thirsty for power and dominance. The war ignited with tensions between Serbia and Austria. Australia being an ally of Serbia and Britain had to take part in the war. Everyone was full of eagerness and enlisted to fight in Australia’s first war as an independent country. The attitude of Australians to fight in the war during 1914 has changed from being excited, proud and ignorant to being more aware of the consequences and feeling scared.

Despite the Commonwealth declaring war on Germany on 4 August 1914 the celebrations of Wattle Day on 1 September did not seem to be dampened. The South Australian Chronicle reported that celebrations occurred across the state ‘with enthusiasm’. Statues and entrances to prominent public institutions were decorated with wattle along with ‘horses, motor cars, and vehicles of all descriptions’.

WW1 began on 28th July 1914 ending in 11th November 1918, originating in Europe after the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie. The war was fought on a number of fronts including the Western Front, Middle East, Europe, Africa and Gallipoli. As the war progressed, WW1 became known as ‘The Great War’, the war to end all wars. A short period of time after Britain and Germany went to war, Australia was included into the fighting as at the time Australia was still a colony to the British. Australia prepared for war months before, enlisting soldiers for all types of military forces, these included, the naval, expeditionary, Imperial force, ANZAC, infantry, artillery, flying corps, transport ships and the Light horse Units.

The Great War involved most of the adult population either 'head on' or discretely. On average, 6 million men served in Britain's armed forces during the course of the war. Many millions of innocent civilians had their lives affects to the overall changes, both economic and social that the war caused or added to. The impact of the war varied greatly between the different regions of the sommunity. There were many differences and considerations ; these being gender and social class, so it is had to dinstinguish and measure the war's exact impact on people's attitudes, beliefs and values.

The Great War of 1914-1918 was started by the assassination of the Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand. However, it was the alliance system that caused this conflict to develop into a global affair. It involved thirty countries and around 65 million soldiers. Roughly 10 million military deaths were counted. A high number, but not surprising when you learn that over 100,000 tons of chemical weapons were used in this prolonged conflict. An interesting fact that nearly overshadows the violence is the Christmas day truce that took place in 1914. Germany and U.K. troops played a soccer match in “no man’s land” (the area between enemy trenches). Fighting didn’t stop here however the war lasted four more years. Resulting in the requisite of the first
