GABO
November 14 – stalemate: deadlock in which neither side is strong enough to defeat the other takes place when
Germany advances an Allied counterattack
The two sides fought 3 years & created mazes of trenches protected by barbed wire
Soldiers spent day after day shelling enemy trenches– Trenches: shallow ditches or elaborate tunnels that served as
headquarters & first-aid stations– Between the front-line trenches of each side = “no man’s land” of barbed wire
An attack begun with hours of heavy artillery fire from the back
Then groups charged (under orders from their officer) “over the top” of trenches
OVER THE TOP, MENNNNNN!!!!!
Soldiers with rifles would race across no man’s land to attack the enemy
If lucky – they may overrun a few trenches
Before long enemy would launch a counterattack with similar results
Constant struggle lasted back & forth over a few hundred yards of territory
New weapon was gas: chlorine & mustard gassesClouds floated into & flooded trenches,
choking & blinding soldiers

Most offensives: trench battles were long & deadly
– Battle of Verdun: lasted 10 months in 1916. Germans lost 400,000 men trying to overrun French lines & France lost even more
– In the East, German & Austria-Hungarian armies faced off against Russia & Serbia

• Discover Channel: Surviving the Cut, “U.S. Marine Recon” – Marines in training need to be able to pass certain tests… such as hiking with 200lb dummies & kit-bags uphill through tear gas! This simulates a successful ambush… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnwoImblCI0

Trench Battle Time!!!!!
• Get a piece of scratch paper• Don’t have one?... Ask your
neighbor• Write EITHER the number
#1, #2 or #3 on your paper• Keep it secret…keep it safe
When your general (me) yells “over the top”…launch your offensive & hold your trench! No faces!!!!
Be careful not to cross into no man’s land!… When I sound the fallback alert pick up the “shell” that
landed closest to you… only pick up 1! Keep it crumpled until everyone is seated…
FOR TOMORROW (do it now): Answer ONLY the question on the worksheet corresponding with the exact #
“shell” that landed nearest to you that you picked up
