Question: On the event that sparked World War I, The New York Times headline for June 29, 1914, was “HEIR TO AUSTRIA''S THRONE IS” what? Answer: Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph’s heir, was shot dead by a Serbian. This gave Austria-Hungary, backed by its ally Germany, a pretext to start a war with Serbia, which was allied with Russia, which in turn was allied with France.
Question: What caused Great Britain to join World War I? Answer: Under the Treaty of London of 1839, Britain had agreed to defend Belgium. It declared war on Germany within hours of the kaiser’s men marching through neutral Belgium.
Question: What novel way were French troops transported to the First Battle of the Marne, just 30 miles from Paris? Answer: Germany’s all-out offensive early in the war saw its troops reach the Marne River about 30 miles from Paris. To halt their advance, French soldiers needed to be rushed to the front, but trucks were unavailable and railways were clogged. Consequently, 600 of the city’s taxis were used to transport 3,000 French troops to the front—a relatively small number that had a large impact.
Question: How were aircraft primarily used at the beginning of World War I? Answer: The fledgling aviation industry of the 1910s produced planes so light that they could carry only a pilot and perhaps an observer. The reconnaissance work done by these fliers improved the accuracy of artillery fire tremendously.
Question: Which of these best describes how trenches were dug on the Western Front? Answer: Trenches were dug in zigzag patterns so that enemy soldiers who infiltrated a trench could shoot only a few yards along it rather than along its entire length More-developed trenches included blind alleys and dead ends to confuse infiltrators.
Question: Which animals were frequently used to carry messages during World War I? Answer: Because new communications technology like radio was unreliable, both the Allies and the Central Powers turned to carrier pigeons to relay short messages tied to the birds’ legs. Pigeons were carried aboard tanks, airplanes, and submarines.
