Connection Across Time

World War I forever changed the map of Europe.  New countries were born such as Austria, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia.  Germany, on the other hand, lost territory. 

WWI also introduced new methods of warfare.  In the past, armies moved by foot.  WWI brought the invention of the tank, which allowed armies to be more mobile.  Though we don't use blimps in war today, they did pave the way for the use of aircraft in war.

World War I was the first war that included the entire world.  It ended empires that had previously dominated Europe.  It also created new nations that make up the world we know today.  WWI acted as a transition from an older Europe to a more modern Europe, and introduced new methods of warfare that would lead the invention of even more effective weaponry.
