The Schlieffen Plan “Paris for lunch - St. Petersburg for dinner!”

World War 1 Begins The Schlieffen Plan ns/western_front/index_embed.shtml Designed to prevent a war on two fronts Take France in 6 weeks, by surprise by going through Belgium Once France falls, move troops east to fight Russia

Schlieffen Plan – Why it Failed! 1. Belgium had a treaty with Britain, France and Germany guaranteeing its neutrality 2.German Generals altered the plan causing German troops to turn south towards Paris earlier than originally planned Britain objected when Germany invaded Belgium This was their reason to go to war German troops encountered both French troops moving out of Paris and British from the Channel ports World War 1 Begins

German advance was halted on the Marne River – both sides “dug-in” extensive trench systems protected by artillery and machine guns World War 1 Begins

Canada Prepares for War “When Britain is at war, Canada is at war. There is no distinction." Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier

The British Commonwealth in Arms This poster depicts New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Newfoundland, and South Africa supporting Britain in arms. These British Dominions would eventually contribute more than 1.4 million service personnel to the British war effort from 1914 to 1918.

Canada’s War -In 1914, Canada was a self-governing dominion of the British Empire, but it did not control its own foreign affairs. -The Canadian government would decide the nature and extent of Canada's war effort, but legally the country was at war the instant Britain declared one.

Enthusiastic Reaction to War -Canadians marched and sang in the streets at the declaration of war in early August In an unprecedented burst of patriotic enthusiasm, Canadians enlisted from across the country. -Because prewar Canada had a very small permanent armed force, citizen-soldiers would form most of the new Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF).

Valcartier, Quebec -Valcartier, Quebec was the primary training base for the First Canadian Contingent in 1914.

Daily Ration for Soldiers Training at Valcartier: Pepper and salt 11/4 pounds bread 1 ounce tea 13 ounce coffee 1 ounce cheese 2 ounces jam 2 ounces beans 2 ounces butter 2 ounces sugar 6 ounces fresh vegetables 1 pound fresh meat 1 pound potatoes 1 ounce oil 1 cubic foot wood Fruit is extra
