For our study of the Great War, you are asked to make a website much like PohlmanPavilion. Your website will share and present our findings as we study what was supposed to be The War to End All Wars.
In order to make your site a success, I am asking for you to become familiar with how to program the site to You can watch the video to the right, but I think the best way is to just jump right in and play with the many options available to you. |

Page 2- Named "Pacifism" (+10 Points)
Page two, called "Pacifism" explains the efforts to promote peace between the years 1880-1914.
By 1914, Europe had enjoyed a century of relative peace. Many idealists hoped for a permanent end to the scourge of war. "The future belongs to peace," said the French economist Frederic Passy. Others were less hopeful: "I shall not live to see the Great War," warned German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, "but you will see it, and it will stat in the east." It was Bismarck's prediction, rather than Passy's, that came true.
Using the internet, you will research details on the EACH of following developments that promoted peace:
•In 1896, the first modern Olympic games were held
•Alfred Nobel set up the annual Nobel Peace Prize
•Women’s suffrage organizations like the Woman's International League for Peace & Freedom supported pacifism, or opposition to all war
•In 1899, world leaders attended the First Universal Peace Conference. There they set up the Hague Tribunal, a world court to settle disputes between nations.
This Pacifism page will contain a short sentence or two on EACH of the four peace movements listed above.
Any photos, videos, quotes, or other helpful information that explains these four peace efforts are welcome.

DUE Tuesday, JAN 31st
- As you sit in the trench, what do you fear? What dangers do you face?
- How are you preparing yourself – both physically and mentally – to face these dangers?
- Physically put yourself in a position that best prepares you to face these dangers – How does it feel to be in that position?
- There has been constant noise (shelling, bombing, men yelling) for three days.
- You cannot even think. – How does this make your head feel?
- Did you expect to die? How did you cope with that feeling?
- Your gas mask irritates the skin of your face and itches. What can you do to comfort yourself without exposing yourself to the poisonous gas?
- The soldier next to you dies. What are you going to do with the body?
- The rats have nibbled on your bread. Will you still eat it when your daily ration is a tin of ham and a piece of bread?
- Your meat is spoiled and after eating it you feel very sick. What can you do? You develop diarrhea – what problems does this cause in the trenches?
