War Fever! Lesson starter: ‘Everybody in Scotland would have been devastated to go to war in 1914.’ Do you agree with this statement? Provide reasons for your answer.

Today we will… Determine what is meant by ‘War Fever’ Give examples of how people showed their enthusiasm for war

Success Criteria… I can describe ‘War Fever’ I can distinguish between different attitudes to war

Task One – Copy the note below When war broke out in 1914, the majority of British people were excited and in good spirits. This is known as ‘War Fever’. People were excited for a number of reasons which we will look at today.

Lots of Germans had War Fever too, such as Adolf Hitler in 1914

Task Two – How did people show their enthusiasm for war? Read through the following sources as they are shown on the board For each one, write down 1.Whether they have a positive or negative attitude to war 2.The evidence that shows us their attitude

SourcePositive or negative attitude to war? Evidence

Source A Written by Jim Walsh, who was 19 when war broke out When war broke out I was so excited! It was finally a chance to fight for my country and show those Germans how great Britain was. I ran straight down to the nearest recruitment office and signed up for war.

Source B Written by Bill McDonald, who was 17 when war broke out Everyone went mad with joy when Britain declared war on Germany. For me, it was a chance to get away from my wee village in the Highlands. I could see the world and make some real money in the army. I even lied and said I was 18 to join up early.

Source C written by Mr F. Samuels from Edinburgh As an owner of a factory I was ecstatic when war was declared! My factory was a textile factory – we made dresses, sheets, tablecloths. Straightaway I took order to make soldier’s uniforms from the Army. We made a lot of money from the war.

Source D Written by John Baird from Glasgow Me and all my pals from my football team joined up as a pals battalion. It meant we would all stay together in the war. We all thought it would be a great adventure. We were sure the war would be won by Christmas.

Source E Written by Mary McNaughton from Glasgow who was 16 when war broke out I wasn’t excited for the war like everyone else. It meant my father and three brothers would go away and fight on the Western Front. I didn’t believe the newspapers when they said it would be a short war. Still, I pretended to be excited because everyone else was.

Today we will… Determine what is meant by ‘War Fever’ Give examples of how people showed their enthusiasm for war

Success Criteria… I can describe ‘War Fever’ I can distinguish between different attitudes to war
