Third Link of Reference

This website is a good website; whether you read the book or not. I would recommend this website to anyone, because it sums up the basics and explains the war in detail that is understandable. The book can sometimes be a little hard to understand for me, which is why I have to read it a couple of times in order to do this. This page is a page that is easy to understand and explains some of the countries conflicts in detail, so the rest of the Chapter is easy to get a grasp of.

This is a sketch of what a U-boat looked like; it was what
the Germans used to sink American Boats.
The second link explains the basics on what World War one was about. It explains the main points of what the war was about, and what sparked the war. It explained what countries were involved and explained why it was such a big war. It explained how the soldiers felt in the war, and gave the opinions of what the many felt like during the war, whether they were part of it or just citizens. The one aspect of this website that I liked was that they explained the different vehicles that were used.

This is really cool because I saw this in
Mr. Kannan's room on the chalkboard.
This may have applied for the war for the German side,
because the other side was gaining much power
in the war, but they would get anywhere,
which is why an armistice was put in effect.

This link is basically a timeline of what happened in World War I. I think that this timeline is a quick and easy read, because it sums up the major events without going into detail. In the book, they explain everything in detail. Though some of the things that are reviewed in the timeline are not exactly relevant or aren't in the book, once again, it doesn't go into extreme detail. One aspect that I thought was really nice was the fact that it lists how long the war was and shows what happened in each part of the year, so you know where the most action was at what part of the year.
