Good Afternoon!!! 1.NVC 2.Experience of Civilians in WWI 3.Case Study: The Sack of Louvain Essential Question: Was the Sack of Louvain a war crime or a legitimate military action? Homework: WWI Project DUE April 2/3

Civilians in WWI Roughly 6.5 million civilian deaths in WWI The Allies – 3.4 million Civilians The Central Powers – 3.1 million Civilians

Famine Most civilian deaths due to Famine and Disease Famine: extreme hunger leading to starvation – Trenches and naval blockades blocked trade routes  preventing food from getting in – Many farmers sent away to war  decreasing food production

Disease Trenches and blockades also blocked medical supplies from entering countries Spanish Flu: First Pandemic (global disease) since the Dark Ages – spread by mass travel of soldiers from country to country – million people dead = 1-3% of entire world’s population

Air Raids Zeppelin: German airships “Terror bombing”: attacks on civilians meant to weaken enemy morale – Introduced by the Germans – Not yet very effective

Siege Guns Paris Gun "It took about three minutes for each giant shell to cover the distance to the city. The shells climbed so high that gunners, in calculating where the shells would land, had to take into account the rotation of the Earth. For the first time in warfare, deadly projectiles rained down on civilians from the stratosphere."

“Instead of terrorizing the people, shells of the great cannons, as well as the bombs dropped from the German airships, only serve to strengthen the resolve of the French to resist, to the last man if necessary, the invasion of such a foe.”—Charles Horneau, 1918

“The Rape of Belgium” 1914 Germany invades Belgium as part of Schlieffen Plan Reports of German atrocities against Belgian civilians soon follow – Used by Entente Powers as propaganda – historians disagree if the “rape” actually happened

Sack of Louvain—August 1914
