Life in the Trenches
• Soldiers would go “over the top” and charge the other trench.

Weapons
• WWI was not like any other war before it.• The Industrial Revolution allowed troops to
move faster, and also led to the invention of new ways to kill your enemy

Rifles
• Rifles were not new, they had been around for a while, but new designs and more precise manufacturing (in factories) led to more rapid firing rifles.
• Soldiers could now shoot 12-15 rounds per minute.

Machine Guns
• Automatic weapons that could shoot 400-600 rounds per minute.
• They were big and heavy, which meant that they didn’t get moved a lot.
• Made it possible for just a small crew to mow down entire waves of enemy soldiers.
• Machine guns

Poison Gas
• Gases that cause choking, blinding, or severe skin blisters.
• Many kinds were used, but mustard gas is particularly nasty– Caused burning and blistering on your skin, your
lungs, and could blind you.– Could penetrate clothing.– Wasn’t deadly, but would take a soldier out of battle.
