British Government Poster produced in 1914 What is the message? Nature Origin Purpose MESSAGE Own Knowledge British Government Poster produced in 1914 Nature of the source The purpose is A Speech A cartoon An official report An obituary Campaign poster Propaganda poster A Memoir A Table of statistics A letter A textbook photograph More useful because Limited in its use because British Prime Minister Herbert Asquith's Address to Parliament, 6 August 1914 With the utmost reluctance and with infinite regret, His Majesty's Government have been compelled to put this country in a state of war with what for many years and indeed generations past has been a friendly Power. The Papers which have since been presented to Parliament will, I think, show how strenuous, how unremitting, how persistent, even when the last glimmer of hope seemed to have faded away, were the efforts of my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary (note: Sir Edward Grey) to secure for Europe an honourable and a lasting peace. A Speech Despite his ultimate victory, he is held responsible for the deaths of half a million British troops by some and accused of an unimaginative and out-dated approach to combat. Historians will continue to debate Field Marshal Haig's leadership – from his persistence with cavalry, to the introduction of army dentists – with an interminability akin to the Great War itself. When he was given a state funeral at Westminster Abbey, The Times wrote: "Great crowds lined the streets ... come to do honour to the chief who had sent thousands to the last sacrifice when duty called for it, but whom his war-worn soldiers loved as their truest advocate and friend.“ Extract from Douglas Haig’s Obituary A Police Report on the effects of an air raid in June 1917 (official report) Air Raid 13th June 1917 A British cartoon Summary of available information Time Place Bombs Casualties dropped 10.45pm Kent Essex 25 Killed Injured 11.30pm and London 85 425 Notes Casualty numbers are believed to be correct but additional information may emerge in the next day or two Damage 120 houses Iron foundry Liverpool Street Station Recollections of a wartime women worker in an engineering works.

It was a glorious sunny & mild day, a pretty run & we got into the first town about 4 p.m. or a bit earlier. All the population & many soldiers turned out to see us as no English convoy had ever been there, the female population in great voice & sweet smiles.

Use the date to help you explain what is going on. Structure The message is… Evidence from the source that support s this is…. My own knowledge supports this as Example The message is that Britain and France are happy together as they have defeated Germany’s plans concerning Morocco in 1905 and left Germany angry. Evidence from the source that supports this message is that Britain and France are shown as two people dancing together as a couple; France is shown as a woman with France written on her hat. This shows that Britain and France have worked well together. Germany is drawn as a pantomime villain and has a clock, looking angry in the background, showing they are not part of the decisions. The character of Germany says’ foiled but our time will come’ showing that they are angry. My own knowledge supports this as the cartoon is dated 1905 and is referring to the first Morocco crisis. Germany had made a speech supporting Morocco’s independence as the French were looking to take over. At the following conference Germany were humiliated and France and Britain agreed to work closely together as shown in the cartoon. Two years later they would sign the Triple Entente.

Why were problems in the Balkans so difficult for the Great Powers to solve? The Balkans had become an increasingly unstable area because – Many different nationalities were mixed together The area had been ruled by Turkey for many years but now Turkey’s power was in decline, others look to step in The new governments that were set up instead of Turkish rule were in disagreement with each other Two great powers, Russia and Austria bordered counties in this region. Both want to control the area and gain more access to the Mediterranean Sea. Tension grew worse in 1908 when Austria annexed (took over) Bosnia. Russia supported this move if they gained access to sea routes. Russia did not get this and was left humiliated. Bosnia had many Serbs leaving there, Serbia was not happy and looked to free Bosnia from Austrian rule (look out there’s a Black Hand about!!) Two Balkan Wars followed in 1912 and 1913, an increasingly unstable region with Russia and Austria eyeing up the region! www.historytl.com Depth Study – Causes and Events of the 1st World War 1890 -1918 Why was there increasing tension between the Great Powers, 1890–1914?
