what happened on the homefront, protests and moratoriums etc. and why these changes occurred over the period of the war…
Women became responsible for most of the work on the home front. They filled jobs left empty by men, took control of farms and factories, and still took care of life inside the home with their families. Although women could not fight, some still participated by working as nurses at the front lines. Brother was pitted against brother, the fighting was brutal and the carnage was extreme. Both sides were convinced that what they were fighting for was right, and the loss of life was tremendous.…
World War I started in 1914 and ended in 1918. The most important ground of battle during the First World War was the Western Front, located in Belgium and France. In order to win the war, victory on the Western Front was necessary. On this ground, some of the greatest battles of the war were fought. Over 295,000 Australian soldiers served on the Western Front, but of this 295,000, 46,000 soldiers lost their lives, hundreds of war memorials built across France and Belgium dedicated to their sacrifice (Remembrance Day- Australian Army 2016).…

World War I had a definite impact on the European home front; the war was called total war for a reason. The term total war has many meanings when concerned with WWI, but it could also be talking about the fact that the civilians were directly impacted and involved in the war. The home front was impacted during WWI because women were having to replace the men in jobs, everyone was romanticizing the war at first then were struck by reality, and the people were having to ration food.…
The Western Front during World War 1 stretched from the North Sea to the Swiss Frontier with France.…
In The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brien discusses the tangible and intangible items that the soldiers carry with them daily. While some of these items are the necessities of war, such as ammunition, riffles, and rations, the soldiers also carry items along the war front that signify a remembrance of their home front. Lieutenant Jimmy Cross, for example, carries with him throughout the battle field various reminders of his love of Martha, a young woman from back home. He carries the letters she wrote to him and photos of her in his backpack, along with a good luck pebble that she has sent to him in his mouth. Henry Dobbin, another soldier, carries his girlfriend’s pantyhose around his neck. These objects that the soldiers carry serve as a distraction for them from the…
From the German perspective, World War 1 was fought on two fronts; the Western Front and Eastern Front. The fronts were significantly different when it came to warfare, namely the tactics employed to deal with the French and British in the West, and the Russians in the East. What was supposed to be a quick victory became a complete failure in military movement and intelligence, and an underestimation of military mobilization. On the Western Front, Germans ran up against the British and French for over 400 miles. In comparison, the Eastern Front consisted of warfare with the Russians along a 900 mile border.…
A problem that persists through every part of the world is a lack of compassion for the homeless. No matter how many charities are available for people to donate to, they are often careless and forgetful. This problem stems from laziness and a lack of motivation to be involved. This carelessness can account for the lack of resources or the lack of knowledge about resources for the homeless.…
“World War I”, “The Great War”, as suggested by these references, was a confrontation on a global scale unlike any other war in history. For the first time technology had changed the face of armed conflict, the landscape of battle had transformed its mission from two forces firing upon each other across broad fields with muskets and cannons to a vast subterranean trench system that traversed hundreds of miles. Between the opposing forces lay barren waste lands covered by machine gun fire and directional barbed wire. These fields were aptly known as “no-man’s land”. The trench systems and adjacent wastelands covered the distance of what had once been empty fields between opposing forces to spanning the borders between multiple countries…
World War I, or the "Great War" was a trench battle. Men would dig trenches and stay there, hundreds of them, and there they would wait with their bayonets and other weapons and look over a small piece of land. Imagine that you are in the middle of a field. The field is maybe a quarter mile wide and on the other side of the field is your enemy. There are no tanks or bombers to give you cover. There are no fancy heat-seeking missiles. You are going to have to kill or be killed for a piece of earth so small and seemingly insignificant that the idea that your death will be important seems almost insane. Life for the soldiers on the Western Front was horrendous. There was no water, no proper amounts or portions enough for them to eat, your food is mold and waste, medical care seems like a myth, hygiene was basically nonexistent, and by the time this war was over the Western vision of war was changed forever.…
Homeless people have the tendency to treat the streets of cities like their personal homes. It’s only natural that they do this because hey, the streets are their homes. But this becomes a problem when you are strolling the streets of your beautiful city and are overwhelmed and distressed by the horrific stench of urine and waste consume the side walk. Like I said before, the sidewalks are homeless people’s homes but when you have to hold your breath, it becomes a problem.…
Imagine traveling during the day having nothing to your name, carrying bags everywhere you go and not knowing where your next meal is going to come from. Now picture thousands of homeless people living on the streets in America and many of them do not choose to live this way. Unfortunately, for some people they are victims of bad luck that leads to homelessness in America. Although, many will argue that being homeless has something to do with a personal choice also, but according to thousands of homeless people, bad luck was present too. Homeless Americans are those people who do not live in a home at all and is often the cause of being victims of bad luck.…

A Two-front war is classified as a war fought in separate locations at the same general time, and World War I was classified as just that. The startup of the Two-front war was instigated when Gavrilo Princip, a member of a terrorist group aimed at Serbian liberation called the Black Hand, shot and killed Austria’s Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophia. The Austrian-Hungarian government did not know if the Bosnian government had been directly linked in the assassination and had used the death of Franz and Sophia to blame Serbia and finally defeat them.…
