🪖 World War 1 : 1914-1918 🔍 Interesting ww1 Facts: ⚔️ The war that was supposed to last months: Many leaders believed WWI would be over by Christmas 1914. Instead, it lasted over 4 years. 🕳️ Trench warfare was brutal and strange: Trenches were often flooded, causing “trench foot”, which could lead to amputation. Soldiers lived with rats the size of cats, lice, and constant disease. In some areas, opposing trenches were only 30–50 meters apart. 🎄 The Christmas Truce (1914): British and German soldiers stopped fighting, sang carols, exchanged gifts, and even played football in No Man’s Land. Officers on both sides were furious and tried to prevent it from ever happening again. ☁️ Chemical weapons were introduced: Poison gas (chlorine, phosgene, mustard gas) was first used on a large scale. Gas masks became essential; mustard gas caused blisters, blindness, and long-term injuries. 🐎 Old wars met modern wars: Cavalry charges were still attempted early in the war — against machine guns. Horses were used extensively for transport; millions died. ✈️ Air combat was born: Early pilots threw bricks and pistols before machine guns were mounted on planes. The famous Red Baron (Manfred von Richthofen) had 80 confirmed kills. 🚢 Submarines changed warfare: German U-boats attacked merchant ships, including the Lusitania, helping draw the USA into the war. 🌍 It was truly a world war: Soldiers came from India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the Caribbean. Fighting occurred not just in Europe, but also in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. 🧠 Psychological trauma: “Shell shock” was common; at the time, many thought it was cowardice. Some soldiers were executed for desertion or breakdowns. 🕊️ The peace helped cause WWII: The Treaty of Versailles punished Germany harshly, creating conditions that led directly to World War II. #relaxing #trench #ambience
