Examine the principal theaters of battle, major turning points, and the importance of geographic factors in military decisions and outcomes (eg., topography, waterways, distance, climate)
Rationale:
The "War to End all Wars" has many different interpretations as to its cause, its various changes and turns during, and its outcome. The effects of the war impacted many changes that occurred after its end (depression, WWI, etc). Students should understand the environment that led to the first war that was not relegated to one specific area but impacted an entire continent as well as other surrounding continents.
Evidence:
Being able to list the factors which led to the conflict, evaluate those factors for their merit or lack there of, and propose possible solutions that may have prevented the war, or changed the terms of the surrender which may have prevented or altered the World War that followed will allow students to gain insights as to how historical events were addressed.
