Two minutes read:
Millions of soldiers worldwide were killed; it shockingly works out that during the war, which lasted 4 and a quarter years, 230 soldiers died every single hour!
By the end of WW1, over 10 million soldiers had been killed, and another 21 million wounded.
We should remember it because:
The Ottoman empire split up.
England became heavily indebted to the USA.
Our government and democracy improved.
The treaty of Versailles which led to the League of Nations.
German hyperinflation- having to pay the cost of the war
Revolution on warfare tactics.
Improvements and advances in medicine.
End of Colonialism, the rise of nations
The rise of dictatorships e.g Hitler and the Nazi Party
In some ways, WW1 should be remembered as a great success.
But this came at a huge cost of lives so it definitely should be remembered with respect.
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.
ALL HUMAN COMMENTS APPRECIATED. aLL LIKE CLICKS CHUCKED IN THE BIN.
