Origins of WWI: PowerPoint and e-Book

Studying the Origins of World War One is a standard topic in many high school History Curricula. This teaching package includes a highly detailed and carefully designed presentation using maps, statistics, and contemporary cartoons to explain how Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, and Nationalism each contributed to the outbreak of war in 1914.

Accompanying the 22-slide PowerPoint presentation is a 26-page Teaching e-book. This has been designed to serve a dual purpose. A teacher can use it as notes while presenting each slide, or each page can be printed as a handout for students. Each page in the e-book matches one slide. The notes are designed around the types of questions students might ask, e.g., What caused the growth of militarism in Europe? Particular attention is given to explaining the role of nationalism, as this is often the most difficult for students to understand. Also included is a countdown explaining the July Crisis, from the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand to Britain declaring war on Germany.
