Marianas Trench

First World War. Trench Warfare with troops running over No Man’s Land with their rifles and bayonets attempting to conquer the enemy’s trench. The soldiers’ brothers in arms dying around them amongst the gunfire and hanging up in the barbwire as they fight for their countries. Whistles blow signifying a retreat or an attack. In the name of their countries, soldiers sleep in the wet, cold, mud in fear of the next attack or if the next cloud of mustard gas would flow through their trench.…

Tiger I Officially designated as the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger, the Panzer VI was a German heavy tank deployed in 1942 during World War II. Eventually nicknamed the “Tiger”, and eventually Tiger I once the Tiger II reached production, the design of the Tiger I tank epitomized the German concept of a heavy tank. A tank that provided ultimate excellence in design and combined lethality with the best protection regardless of the cost. While an outstanding design, the Tiger I was over-engineered…

chose to create an exhibit on trench warfare because trench warfare changed the way soldiers came home from war, and brought about many new technologies for future wars. The first half of the exhibit provides background information on the context of trench warfare in World War I. I wanted to provide the audience with a perspective with which to view the rest of the exhibit. I then followed this background information with an explanation of the sub theme of strategy of trench warfare. This…

War devastates anyone, the damage is emotional and psychological as well as physical. Everything we see in the news, in the newspapers, or hear on the radio is about battles, shots, weapons, and deaths. In the First World War, nobody really knew how destructive this dispute was going to be, no country in Europe was prepared for what was coming. The propaganda recruited the necessary soldiers and the only thing that was known was that the troops of the United States, France, England, and Russia…

(The Trenches of WWI) The trenches of World War I helped the army stay protected from enemy fire, but they had to deal with dead bodies, rats, cold water and minimum food. Most dealt with trench foot and many lost feet and toes. For food they had tea and dog biscuits and not much meat except for rats. History thinks that the war was wasteful, but it was really a thought out system. Exhaustion, low reserves, and huge loss of life on both sides made both them realize the defensiveness…

I'm miserable. I have not recorded anything for a time, despite making an attempt to avoid wasting what is left of my time in this wretched trench. Some nights back a cloudburst happened which left both sides basically fallen. As luck would have it did not hurt anyone but creating it very difficult to fight. Nowadays I think of these trenches as holding cells for prisoners, the site I am guaranteed to spend the remaining months of my life in until i am eventually exhausted and then we are killed…

The motive of many movies and poems is to entertain and educate. Over the years of endless English classes, we learn that entertainment is not always funny and education is not always facts and dates. By watching movies, the watcher gets to have a better understanding of how a situation actually went, rather than reading bullet points of facts on a PowerPoint slide. Poems give the reader visuals by having comparisons and detailed adjectives. A main event that is frequently brought up and taught…

new weapons, and updated military ideas had an advantage. During the course of the war soldiers barricaded themselves in trenches. The networks of trenches were protected by barbed wire and machine guns; this method of warfare in known as trench warfare.
