The War To End All Wars
World War I
German Tank
Tanks in World war one significantly changed warfare because they made killing men much easier. Trench warfare was created to better protect men since killing from long distances was easy.
Mustard gas used in World War I
Chemical warfare like mustard gas made killing people in large numbers easier and more efficient without using amo.
Aviation
Airplanes allowed ambushes to be from all directions including from the air. This increased the amount of people that were killed in combat
Allied Leader (Woodrow Wilson)
Woodrow Wilson was the president of the US during World War I. Although he didn't join the allied powers until three years after the war had started, he sent food and supplies to those who were fighting. He launched and supported campaigns about American familes saving food in order to feed the military. Joining the war helped the allies win.
Central Leader (Kaiser Wilhelm II)
Kaiser WIlhelm II was the emperor of Germany during WWI. Wilhelm was an overtly militaristic man, and believed fervently in increasing the strength of Germany's armed forces. In particular he was keen to develop a German navy the equal of Britain's Royal Navy. Wilhelm operated as commander and chief of the German military. However, he simply acted a figurehead. In 1918, he almost won the war for Germany but the Allies victored.
