Passchendaele July to November 1917 Terrain nearly impossible to maneuver across Trench life brutal Some soldiers drowned in puddles of mud Nearly 1 million casualties for both sides over a very little amount of land

Timeline cont. November 7- Bolsheviks overthrow the prime minister, Aleksander Fyodorovich Kerensky, and begin a communist reign under Lenin. 10- Battle of Passchendaele ends December 7- U.S. Declares war on Austria.

The October Revolution The Bolshevik’s seize of power in Saint Petersburg leads the way to Soviet Russia This was the first and only armed uprising in the Russian Revolution The Winter Palace was captured and was only lightly defended by women and cadets. The Impact of the 1917 October Revolution

The French Mutiny of 1917 Soldiers in the French Army realized that they were being treated poorly, and many thought that they were being led to their own death 30,000 men decided to leave their trenches and walk home, after being away for 3 years This was especially frustrating because officers were able to go home on a regular basis, and lower ranked soldiers weren’t given these privileges

French Mutiny of 1917 (cont.) 54 divisions (50% of the French army) refused to obey orders Discipline in the army collapsed A new general, General Petain, took charge of the situation 24,000 were found guilty of mutiny, however only 400 were sentenced to death, and in that 400 only 50 were actually shot. The rest were sent to Devil’s Island in French Guiana. It was decided that after this, the French army would fight to protect its country, but not be involved in any offensives.

War Weariness The war had been going on for quite a while with little room for leaves or other distractions Soldiers had low morale and lost the will to fight.
