Media coverage showed the American public the reality of a foreign war, detached from the government’s optimistic depiction, uncensored on their televisions at home.

Faction: The Indian Army

The First World War
When the war broke out in 1914 there was growing political unrest in India against British rule.

Germany had even tried to stir up anti-british movements and rebellion.

However such fears were put to rest when India rallied to Britain’s cause. It was believed that India’s proposal of independence could best be served this way.

The inventor Nikola Tesla had dreamed of supplying the world with electricity wirelessly.

Tesla developed a device in 1891 which could produce bolts of high voltage electricity, known as the Tesla Coil.

The device has a primary coil which passes a current onto a secondary coil, creating a high voltage and low current, which shoots out a lightning like discharge.

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.
