E & F Periods-

We finally returned to talking about WWI! We reviewed the main causes of the war, and have just begun talking about, oh you know, all the stuff that happened before the U.S. finally entered the war in 1917!

The materials I handed out to you today were all from this website. It is an AMAZING resource with maps, primary sources, the whole shebang...from PBS of course!
