World War I The End of the War

Events of 1917 United States Sinking of Lusitania and other ships by German U-boats eventually convinces Americans to enter WWI (April 1917) American troops slow to arrive in Europe, but by mid-1918 over 1 million in France, with 10,000 arriving each day

Events of 1917 Russian Revolution In November, Czar Nicholas II and government overthrown by Bolsheviks (communists led by Vladimir Lenin) New government signs treaty with Germany, ends Russia’s participation in WWI, allows Germany to focus on Western Front

Germany’s Last Push West Germany racing west to take advantage of the period before American troops arrive Germans push west, get to 75km from Paris Ypres, the Somme, Passchendaele taken Exhausted, no supplies, no replacements

Hundred Day Campaign Starting August 1918, series of Allied attacks to push Germans back Canadian troops played large role Successfully broke through Hindenburg Line, a series of German defences in France General Arthur Currie considered it Canada’s greatest achievement in WWI

Hundred Day Campaign

Collapse of the Central Powers October 1918 – Austro-Hungarian Empire splits up; separate states negotiate peace with Allies November 1918 – revolution in Germany; Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicates; republic declared

Armistice Armistice – November 11, 1918 “armistice” = truce Signed in railcar in France Between Allies and Germany In effect 11:00AM, Nov. 11, 1918

Treaty of Versailles

League of Nations President Wilson’s idea Similar to today’s United Nations Collective Security – one country is attacked, others help defend it Britain and France not enthused about League Wanted to remain imperialistic League popular with the public Canada an independent member of League

League of Nations Limitations Required co-operation No military force, only economic sanctions Americans refused to join, even though Wilson’s idea

League of Nations
