The Western Front
At the beginning of the war, the Germans came up with the Schlieffen Plan in which they would rush to France on the western front for a quick victory, then move on to the eastern front. This didn’t happen.

The Western Front
The first battle of the Marne was a loss for Germany, which foiled the Schlieffen Plan. By this time, the Russian forces in the east were already invading Germany.
Germany had no choice but to split their army and fight a war on two fronts.

Trench Warfare
By early 1915, the Allies and Central Powers had dug miles of parallel trenches along the western front.

Trench Warfare
This was known as trench warfare, soldiers remained in the trenches for long periods of time and fought from in them.
There were often many casualties and little land gains.

The Eastern Front
At the beginning of the war, Russia had launched an attack on both Austria and Germany.
![Page 12: World war i_-_the_total_war_experience-cp 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052622/55938b5e1a28abfb6a8b471d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Eastern Front
For a while, Germany was occupied with France so Russia was able to push Austria back quite a bit. Eventually Germany returned and pushed the Russians out of Austria.

Russia Struggles
Unlike most of Europe, Russia had not yet completely industrialized. This meant Russia couldn’t produce supplies as rapidly and was always short on things such as food, clothing, and weapons.
Germans were able to effectively block Russia’s ports so the Allies had difficulty shipping goods to them.
![Page 14: World war i_-_the_total_war_experience-cp 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052622/55938b5e1a28abfb6a8b471d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Russia Struggles
Russia’s one advantage was their large numbers. They lost 2 million soldiers by 1915 and were able to keep going.

The Total War Hits Home
World War I was a total war, which meant it touched every aspect of life. The whole government was devoted to winning the war.
![Page 16: World war i_-_the_total_war_experience-cp 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052622/55938b5e1a28abfb6a8b471d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Total War Hits Home
In a total war, the government controls the economy to benefit the war effort. Factories were converted to make supplies for the war. Every able bodied person was called upon to help the war effort.
![Page 17: World war i_-_the_total_war_experience-cp 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052622/55938b5e1a28abfb6a8b471d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Total War Hits Home
People were even recruited from other countries to come help in the war effort.
Germans forced people from France and Belgium to work in their factories. The French and British recruited people from China, India and Africa to work in their factories.

Everybody Pitched In!

Rationing
Since many goods were in short supply governments turned to rationing which is when people could only buy small amounts of certain goods that were needed for the war effort.
![Page 20: World war i_-_the_total_war_experience-cp 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052622/55938b5e1a28abfb6a8b471d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rationing
People were encouraged to have their own gardens so they’d take less food away from the soldiers.

Censoring and Propaganda
Governments attempted to suppress anti – war activity to keep morale high.
Leaders also censored news about the war so people only heard the positive news.
![Page 23: World war i_-_the_total_war_experience-cp 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052622/55938b5e1a28abfb6a8b471d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Censoring and Propaganda
Governments also used propaganda – one sided information designed to persuade someone.
War posters portraying the enemy in a negative light became very popular.
