1914 to 1915: Illusions and Stalemate
The war on the Western Front turned into astalemate as a result of trench warfare, while on the East-ern Front Germany and Austria-Hungary defeated Russia.
Reading Connection How do political campaigns try toinfluence voters? Read on to see how governments tried toinfluence public opinion before World War I.
Before 1914, many political leaders thought thatwar involved so many political and economic risksthat it was something to be avoided. Others thoughtdiplomats would easily be able to control any situa-tion and prevent war. At the beginning of August1914, both ideas were shattered. When war came,however, another illusion was born—the conceptthat the war would be a thrilling and positive experi-ence. For the first months of the war, many Euro-peans shared this belief.
Why were people so eager for war? First, govern-ment propaganda—ideas spread to influence publicopinion for or against a cause—had stirred upnational hatreds. Thus, Europeans responded eagerlyto the urgent pleas of their leaders in August 1914 todefend the homeland against aggressors. Most peo-ple seemed genuinely convinced that their nation’scause was just.
Second, at the beginning of the war, almost every-one believed it would be over in a few weeks. Peoplewere reminded that almost all European wars since1815 had, in fact, ended in a matter of weeks. Both thesoldiers who boarded the trains for the war front inAugust 1914, and the jubilant citizens who showeredthem with flowers as they left, believed that the war-riors would be home by Christmas.
The Western Front German hopes for a quick endto the war rested on a military gamble. The SchlieffenPlan had called for the German army to make a vastencircling movement through Belgium into northernFrance. According to the plan, the German forceswould sweep around Paris. This would enable themto surround most of the French army.
The German advance was halted a short distancefrom Paris at the First Battle of the Marne (September6–10). To stop the Germans, French military leadersloaded two thousand Parisian taxicabs with freshtroops and sent them to the front line.
The war quickly turned into a stalemate, as neitherthe Germans nor the French could dislodge eachother from the trenches they had dug for shelter.These trenches were ditches protected by barbedwire. Two lines of trenches soon reached from theEnglish Channel to the frontiers of Switzerland. TheWestern Front had become bogged down in trenchwarfare that kept both sides in virtually the samepositions for four years.
431CHAPTER 8 War and Revolution
The Austrian writer Stefan Zweig described theexcitement Austrians felt going to war in 1914:
“What did the people know of war in 1914, afternearly half a century of peace? They did not knowwar; they had hardly given it a thought. They stillsaw it in the perspective of their school readersand of paintings in museums; brilliant cavalryattacks in glittering uniforms, the fatal shot alwaysstraight through the heart, the entire campaign aresounding march of victory—’We’ll be home atChristmas,’ the recruits shouted laughingly to theirmothers in August of 1914. . . . The young peoplewere honestly afraid that they might miss thismost wonderful and exciting experience of theirlives; . . . that is why they shouted and sang in thetrains that carried them to the slaughter.”

The Eastern Front In contrast to the Western Front,the war on the Eastern Front was marked by mobil-ity. The cost in lives, however, was equally enormous.
At the beginning of the war, the Russian armymoved into eastern Germany but was decisivelydefeated at the Battle of Tannenberg on August 30and the Battle of Masurian Lakes on September 15.As a result of these defeats, the Russians were nolonger a threat to German territory.
Austria-Hungary, Germany’s ally, fared less wellat first. The Austrians had been defeated by the Rus-sians in Galicia and thrown out of Serbia as well. Tomake matters worse, the Italians betrayed their Ger-man and Austrian allies in the Triple Alliance byattacking Austria in May 1915. Italy thus joinedFrance, Great Britain, and Russia, who had formedthe Triple Entente. The four nations now were calledthe Allied Powers, or Allies.
By this time, the Germans had come to the aid ofthe Austrians. A German-Austrian army defeated theRussian army in Galicia and pushed the Russians farback into their own territory. Russian casualties stoodat 2.5 million killed, captured, or wounded. The Rus-sians had almost been knocked out of the war.
Buoyed by their success, Germany and Austria-Hungary, joined by Bulgaria in September 1915,attacked and eliminated Serbia from the war. Theirsuccesses in the east would enable the Germans tomove back to the offensive in the west.
Contrasting How did the war on theEastern Front differ from the war on the Western Front?

1916 to 1917: The Great Slaughter
New weapons and trench warfare made WorldWar I far more devastating than any previous wars.
Reading Connection Have you read about soldiers’experiences in World War II or the Vietnam War? Read on tolearn about the trench warfare that characterized World War I.
On the Western Front, the trenches dug in 1914had by 1916 become elaborate systems of defense.The lines of trenches for both sides were protected bybarbed-wire entanglements up to 5 feet (about 1.5 m)high and 30 yards (about 27 m) wide, concretemachine-gun nests, and other gun batteries, sup-ported further back by heavy artillery. Troops lived inholes in the ground, separated from each other by astrip of territory known as no-man’s-land.
Tactics of Trench Warfare The unexpected devel-opment of trench warfare baffled the generals. Theyhad been trained to fight wars of movement andmaneuver, and now faced stalemate. They decidedthat the only solution was to throw masses of menagainst enemy lines after artillery had bombardedthe enemy for hours. Once the decisive breakthroughhad been achieved, they thought, they could returnto the war of movement that they knew best.
At times, the high command on either side wouldorder an offensive that would begin with an artillerybarrage to flatten the enemy’s barbed wire and leavethe enemy in a state of shock. After “softening up”the enemy in this fashion, a mass of soldiers wouldclimb out of their trenches with fixed bayonets andhope to work their way toward the enemy trenches.
The attacks rarely worked because men advanc-ing unprotected across open fields could be fired at by the enemy’s machine guns. In 1916 and 1917, millions of young men died fighting for the elusivebreakthrough.
The Battle of Verdun was symbolic of the new kindof war that had come about. Verdun was a Frenchfortress city on the German border. The French generalin charge encouraged his troops with the phrase,“They shall not pass.” Knowing that the French felthonor-bound to defend Verdun, the Germans attackedagain and again. The German goal was to bleed theFrench army white. In the 10 months of fighting at Ver-dun in 1916, 700,000 French and German young menlost their lives over a few miles of land. World War Ihad turned into a war of attrition, a war based onwearing the other side down by constant attacks and

heavy losses. ; (See page 774 to read an excerpt fromArthur Guy Empey’s memoir of World War I in thePrimary Sources Library.)
The Industrial Revolution was largely responsiblefor bringing about this change in how wars werefought. Railroads were able to supply the troops muchmore quickly, and to replace worn-out troops withready reserves. Factories churned out munitions on ascale never seen before, and long bombardmentsbecame routine. Shelling and bombing maimed anddisfigured many World War I soldiers—yet anothersign that the war had been fought by industrializednations.
War in the Air By the end of 1915, airplanes hadappeared on the battlefront for the first time in his-tory. At first, planes were used to spot the enemy’sposition. However, planes soon began to attackground targets, especially enemy communications.
Fights for control of the air occurred and increasedover time. At first, pilots fired at each other withhandheld pistols. Later, machine guns were mountedon the noses of planes, which made the skies consid-erably more dangerous.
The Germans also used their giant airships—thezeppelins—to bomb London and eastern England.This caused little damage but frightened many people.Germany’s enemies, however, soon found that zep-pelins, which were filled with hydrogen gas, had afatal weakness. They quickly became raging infernoswhen hit by antiaircraft guns.

Widening of the War
With the war at a stalemate, both the Alliesand the Central Powers looked for new allies to gain anadvantage.
Reading Connection In the American Revolution, whatcountry did the colonists get aid from? Read to learn hownations looked for allies in World War I.
Because of the stalemate on the Western Front, bothsides sought to gain new allies who might provide awinning advantage. The Ottoman Empire had alreadycome into the war on Germany’s side in August 1914.Russia, Great Britain, and France—the Allies—declaredwar on the Ottoman Empire in November.
The Allies tried to open a Balkan front by landingforces at Gallipoli (guh•LIH•puh•lee), southwest ofConstantinople, in April 1915. However, Bulgariaentered the war on the side of the Central Powers, asGermany, Austria-Hungary, and the OttomanEmpire were called. A disastrous campaign at Gal-lipoli forced the Allies to withdraw.
In return for Italy entering the war on the Alliedside, France and Great Britain promised to let Italyhave some Austrian territory. Italy on the side of theAllies opened up a front against Austria-Hungary.
By 1917, the war that had started in Europe hadtruly become a world conflict. In the Middle East, aBritish officer known as Lawrence of Arabia in 1917urged Arab princes to revolt against their Ottomanoverlords. In 1918, British forces from Egyptdestroyed the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East.

States involvement grew out of the naval warbetween Germany and Great Britain.
Britain had used its superior naval power to set upa naval blockade of Germany. The blockade kept warmaterials and other goods from reaching Germanyby sea. Germany had retaliated by setting up its ownblockade of Britain. Germany enforced its blockadewith the use of unrestricted submarine warfare,which included the sinking of passenger liners.
On May 7, 1915, the British ship Lusitania wassunk by German forces. There were about 1,100 civil-ian casualties, including over 100 Americans. Afterstrong United States protests, the German government

suspended unrestricted submarine warfare in Sep-tember 1915 to avoid antagonizing the United Statesfurther. Only once did the German and British navalforces actually engage in direct battle—at the Battleof Jutland on May 31, 1916, when neither side won aconclusive victory. By January 1917, however, theGermans were eager to break the deadlock in thewar. German naval officers convinced EmperorWilliam II that resuming the use of unrestricted sub-marine warfare could starve the British into submis-sion within six months.
When the emperor expressed concern about theUnited States, he was told that the British would starvebefore the Americans could act. Even if the Americansdid intervene, Admiral Holtzendorf assured theemperor, “I give your Majesty my word as an officerthat not one American will land on the continent.”
The German naval officers were wrong. TheBritish were not forced to surrender, and the return tounrestricted submarine warfare brought the UnitedStates into the war in April 1917. American troopsdid not arrive in large numbers in Europe until 1918,but they gave the Allied Powers a psychologicalboost, as well as a major new source of money andwar goods.

The Home Front: The Impact ofTotal War
World War I became a total war, with govern-ments taking control of their economies and civiliansundergoing rationing of goods.
Reading Connection Do you think the governmentshould ever be allowed to censor what newspapers publish?Read to learn why many governments resorted to censorshipand similar practices during World War I.
As World War I dragged on, it became a total war,involving a complete mobilization of resources andpeople. It affected the lives of all citizens in the war-ring countries, however remote they might be fromthe battlefields.
Masses of men had to be organized and supplieshad to be manufactured and purchased for years ofcombat. (Germany alone had 5.5 million men in uni-form in 1916.) This led to an increase in governmentpowers and the manipulation of public opinion tokeep the war effort going. The home front was rapidlybecoming a cause for as much effort as the war front.
Increased Government Powers Most people hadexpected the war to be short, so little thought had

been given to long-term wartime needs. Govern-ments had to respond quickly, however, when thewar machines failed to achieve their goals. Manymore men and supplies were needed to continue thewar. To meet these needs, governments expandedtheir powers. Countries drafted tens of millions ofyoung men for that elusive breakthrough to victory.
Throughout Europe, wartime governments alsoexpanded their power over their economies. Free-market capitalistic systems were temporarily putaside. Governments set up price, wage, and rent con-trols; rationed food supplies and materials; regulatedimports and exports; and took over transportationsystems and industries. In effect, in order to mobilizeall the resources of their nations for the war effort,European nations set up planned economies—systems directed by government agencies.
Under conditions of total war mobilization, thedifferences between soldiers at war and civilians athome were narrowed. In the view of political leaders,all citizens were part of a national army dedicated tovictory. As United States president Woodrow Wilsonsaid, the men and women “who remain to till the soiland man the factories are no less a part of the armythan the men beneath the battle flags.”
Manipulation of Public Opinion The war contin-ued, casualties grew worse, and the patriotic enthusi-asm that had marked the early stages of World War Iwaned. By 1916, there were signs that civilian moralewas beginning to crack under the pressure of totalwar. Wartime governments, however, fought backagainst the growing opposition to the war.
Authoritarian regimes, such as those of Germany,Russia, and Austria-Hungary, relied on force to
subdue their populations. Under the pressures of thewar, however, even democratic states expanded theirpolice powers to stop internal dissent. The BritishParliament, for example, passed the Defence of theRealm Act (DORA). It allowed the government toarrest protesters as traitors. Newspapers were cen-sored, and sometimes their publication was evensuspended.
Governments actively used propaganda to arouseenthusiasm for the war. At the beginning, public offi-cials needed to do little to achieve this goal. TheBritish and French, for example, exaggerated Ger-man atrocities in Belgium and found that their citi-zens were only too willing to believe these accounts.
As the war progressed and morale sagged, gov-ernments were forced to devise new techniques formotivating the people. In one British recruitingposter, for example, a small daughter asked herfather, “Daddy, what did YOU do in the Great War?” while her younger brother played with toysoldiers.
Total War and Women World War I created newroles for women. Because so many men left to fight atthe front, women were asked to take over jobs thathad not been available to them before. Women wereemployed in jobs that had once been consideredbeyond their capacity. These included such occupa-tions as chimney sweeps, truck drivers, farm labor-ers, and factory workers in heavy industry. Forexample, 38 percent of the workers in the KruppArmaments works in Germany in 1918 were women.
The place of women in the workforce was far fromsecure, however. Both men and women seemed toexpect that many of the new jobs for women were

Edith Cavell was born in Norfolk, England. She trained as a nurse and moved to Brusselsin 1907 to head the Berkendael Medical Institute. After the outbreak of war, the institutebecame a Red Cross hospital. Cavell worked to shelter French and British soldiers and helpthem reach safety in the Netherlands.
Outraged, German military authorities in Brussels put her on trial for aiding the enemyand ordered her to be shot. Before her execution, Cavell said, “I am glad to die for my coun-try.” To arouse anti-German sentiment, both the French and British used her as an example ofGerman barbarism. The Germans insisted they had the right to execute a traitor, whether manor woman.

only temporary. This was evident in the British poem“War Girls,” written in 1916:
“There’s the girl who clips your ticket for the train,And the girl who speeds the lift from floor to floor,There’s the girl who does a milk-round in the rain,And the girl who calls for orders at your door.Strong, sensible, and fit,They’re out to show their grit,And tackle jobs with energy and knack.No longer caged and penned up,They’re going to keep their end upTill the khaki soldier boys come marching back.”
At the end of the war, governments would quicklyremove women from the jobs they had encouragedthem to take earlier. The work benefits for womenfrom World War I were short-lived as men returnedto the job market. By 1919, there would be 650,000unemployed women in Great Britain. Wages for thewomen who were still employed would be lowered.
Nevertheless, in some countries the role womenplayed in wartime economies had a positive impacton their social and political emancipation. The mostobvious gain was the right to vote, which was givento women in Germany, Austria, and the United Statesimmediately after the war. Most British womengained the vote in 1918.
Many upper-class and middle-class women alsogained new freedoms. They took jobs, had their ownapartments, and showed their new independence.
