and joy for Canadian women. It was January 1916, just days after the Manitoba legislate approved a bill that made Manitoba the first province in Canada to give women the right to vote.

The battle of Verdun lasted from February 21, 1916 to December 19, 1916 with an estimated casualty count of around 700,000. There is no explanation for the shocking losses from both sides.

The war took a turning point in 1916, up until then some kind of peace could have been reached and an agreement made, this all changed in 1916. Instead of trying to break through each other’s lines the armies concentrated on simply killing as many of the enemy as they could. The German army in the Somme were largely professional…

Evaluate critically three practices/events during WWI and their impact on the First World War. German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm announced in 1914, “It’s my royal and imperial command that you exterminate the treacherous English and march over General French’s contemptible little army.” Germany’s great ambition pushes the Great War happens in 1914. The stalemate of the Battle of Somme, the involvement of other allied powers and women’s contribution are the major events during the World War I which…
