JR#5 - The World at War

No doubt that many of you have prior knowledge and historical understanding of the World Wars, yet I'm curious to know the extent to which this knowledge and understanding exist and to see if any personal connection exists... Answer the following questions in your composition notebook in order to allow for an engaging introduction to our next unit of the course! You can transfer your responses to the blog later tonight.

1. Given your historical background in and study of the World Wars, turn your focus to the Great War or World War I. What were some of the factors which led to the ultimate conflict of WWI? Try and be as detailed and as descriptive as possible. 
2. Do you or does any of your family have a personal history with the Great War? Offer a brief narrative here...
3. What are some of your expectations for this unit? What might be some of the questions that you feel will arise?
