The Horrors of World War I: Assassination, Trenches, and Soldiers’ Struggles

World War I began with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, leading to a global conflict. Born in Graz, Austria, in 1863, Ferdinand was 51 years old at his death. Soldiers faced unimaginable conditions in the trenches, which were often filled with water and overrun by rats. The smell of death surrounded them, and they had to sleep with rats scurrying about. Reflecting on the past makes us grateful for our comfortable lives today, far removed from the horrors faced by those in World War I.

  1. World war 1 Hope You enjoy

  2. Start of world war 1 The war started because Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated. A Serbian Soldier shot Franz Ferdinand. Franz Ferdinand was born in Graz, Austria. Franz Ferdinand had three children. Franz Ferdinand was born in 1863-1914. He was 51 years old when he died.

  3. The Trenches The trenches would be filled with water and they would be full of rats and dead people would have been there too. There would be a really bad smell of dead people. Every time the soldiers went to sleep they would have to cover there faces with the cover and they could just hear rats running across the floor. The rats were cat size and they would nibble anything they would find because there was nothing to eat so they would nibble at anything leather so that they could live. We are very lucky because we can sleep in nice comfy beds now but imagine in World War 1 you would have to sleep with rats running around and the smell of dead people. Ugh !
