------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DAWN OF DOGFIGHTS (The Birth of Air Combat) By 1917, London had already experienced the danger of Zeppelin bombing runs for two years, but now the fearsome heavy Gotha Bombers appeared in the skies. Outfitted with additional fuel tanks and able to transport as much as 330 lbs of conventional and incendiary bombs to Southern England, they were tasked with not only destroying vital parts of the British war industry, but also exhausting the British will to fight. The population was were initially shocked, and sent --- for the first time --- many children to the safety of the countryside, but soon the British air defenses and the Royal Flying Corps were up to the task of defending their homeland.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nowhere To Hide (Flare Gun uses In World War 1) Flare guns were single -- shot brass guns carried by assault teams, sentries, and pilots. The combustion of different chemical ingredients with a fuel source like magnesium would be fired into the air, where the small cartridge would burn out in a set color. During an assault, soldiers would shoot up a flare to signal their commanders that they had sucessfully reached an objective or infiltrated a trench. Flares were used by pilots to point out strong points and valuable targets for their artillery. They were also used by sentries when spotting movement during the night. Once brightly illuminated, men sneaking through the battlefield suddenly became big targets.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Women Rise (Role of Women In World War 1) Contrary to the stereotype of weeping and waiting at home while the men were away fighting, women served the war effort of their nations in huge numbers. They were munitions factory workers, nurses, airplane mechanics, and spies. they were Vera Brittain and Mata Hari. Some risked their lives working with dangerous chemicals for munitions, becoming known as 'canaries' for the yellow tint the sulphur gave their skin. In addition to military work, the percentage of women in the civilian labor force nearly doubled in some nations, but grew in all. And indeed, some even fought on the front. Flora Sandes, Milunka Savic, Helen Ruz, Olga Kokovtseva and of course- the Russian Women's Battalion of Death, led by Maria Bocharevka. They were vital to propaganda efforts, and in many countries the taking on of traditional male roles was the final push toward giving women the vote. Britain, Germany, Russia, Poland, the U.S.A, and Austria all granted women suffrage shortly after the war.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TOTAL WAR (A Global War --- A Total War) The war had its origins in Europe, and there was a lot of fighting within Europe, but it was a global war from the beginning. Japan fought Germany in China and the Pacific islands already at the start of the war, and when the Ottoman Empire-- which stretched from from the Balkans to the Persian Gulf-- joined the war in late 1914, it truly became a World War. There were naval battles in the South Pacific and South Atlantic, soldiers from every continent except Antarctica would fight, there were fronts in Persia, Mesopotamia, Libya, even the borders of India, fighting all over Africa as European colonies changed hands, and the United States and Brazil would also join the war towards its end. it was the first truly global world war and the largest war in history at the time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE KINGDOM OF ITALY Italy had been an ally of Germany and Austria-Hungary before the war, but when it broke out in 1914, they claimed that the alliance was only a defensive one, and Italy had no obligation to join an offensive war. However, one year later, Italy joined the war siding with the Allies, hoping to reclaim "lost" Italian lands that were now part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Italian front was characterized by mountains. The amount of soldiers wounded compared to killed was far greater than other fronts, because stray bullets would splinter the rock into deadly projectiles that were particularly dangerous to eyes and faces.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE ARTILLERY TRUCK
A relatively fast, formidable, and versatile but weakly armorered gun platform serving many different role in the Great War. Even though it's cross--country performance leaves a lot to be desired, the ability to carry both smaller artillery and automatic anti-air fire made this truck an adaptable ally.
France was the primary user of this truck, using them as transportation for the war machine in dire need of motorized logistics.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAVAL WARFARE IN WORLD WAR 1
Throughout the war, the navies of the warring nations encountered each other in a variety of scenarios all over the world's seas, and naval warfare was a war of technology and training, where precision and speed ultimately decided the outcome of the battle. Fought over great distances, range finders and optical equipment had to be expertly used to calibrate the big guns. Admirals would direct ships of different speeds, firepower, and range into optimal positions while judging the stratgety of the enemy.
The Adriatic Sea saw the dominace of small but agile torpedo boats, while submarines hunted unwary merchant ships in the North Sea. All navies feared the power of a single well-placed torpedo. Cheaply built and easily deployed, they were able to land a decisive blow against a more powerful enemy, if they could just get close enough. Far away in the Pacific, lone German raiders escaped allied patrols over and over again, wreaking havoc on merchant shipping and attacking undefended coastal ports. Elsewhere, minelayers silently cruised through the night, deploying their deadly traps. In the narrow straits around the Dardanelles, the Black Sea, and the Levant, ships fell prey to the deadly explosives that lurked beneath the surface.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE CEI-RIGOTTI AUTOMATIC RIFLE
An innovative design of a compact rifle from early 1900, both from s late 19th century Italian design, and sometimes called "the first assault rifle". It was the same size as the Carcano used by the Italians but was built from the ground up, and was not a conversion of a bolt-action rifle.
