A brown Syrian bear was given to a new Polish Army, setting up in the Middle east in 1942.

The 22nd Artillery Supply Company of the Polish II Corps would name him ‘Wojtek’ by the soldiers and soon he would become a morale boosting mascot for the troops.

Part 2 on the The Treaty of Versailles

The terms of the Treaty of Versailles can be divided into three groups:


Territorial, military, and financial & economic. Here are some of them:

TERRITORIAL

Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France.

Germany was forbidden to unite with Austria.

Lands in eastern Germany including the farmlands of Posen and the Polish corridor between Germany and East Prussia were given to Poland.

The Saar which had rich coalfields, were given to France for 15 years.

All Germany's colonies were taken and given to France and Britain as 'mandates'.

MILITARY

The German army was restricted to only 100,000 men, the navy could now only have six battleships and no submarines. And there was to be no airforce allowed.

The Rhineland was demilitarised. This meant the German army could not go to this area between France and Germany.

FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC

Germany would have to pay reparations, which would eventually be set at an enormous 132 billion gold marks.

WAR GUILT

On top of this Germany was not allowed to join the League of Nations and it had to accept responsibility for causing all the damage and loss by the war.

As the First World War ended and Germany had been defeated, paramilitary groups emerged. The Friekorps formed from German soldiers returning home from the war. Their beliefs were nationalist, anti-treaty of Versailles and anti-communist.

First world war technolgy: Chlorine Gas

In 1914 a chemist called Fritz Haber offered his knowledge to the German Army. He soon began experimenting with chlorine gas to be used in trench warfare.

In April 1915, 150 tons of lethal chlorine gas was used by the German forces against the French Army at Ypres.

Note: For the first attack at Ypres the Germans actually delivered the gas from cylinders using the wind, instead of shells as it looks in the video!

During the evacuation of Gallipoli by the Allies, which started in December 1915, an ingenious invention was constructed on the battlefield by ANZAC forces to deceive the ottoman enemy into thinking a large force was still firing back at them, when in reality the rifles were shooting without a person pulling the trigger!
