The end is in sight! The Great War appears to be coming to a close;
the only question is who is going to win? Russia has left the war after Lenin
and the Bolshevik takeover in November 1917, Italy is losing land in the Alps,
the Ottomans are being broken apart like a cookie. It looks like Germany could
win, they are launching unrestricted submarine warfare, and Ludendorff is
launching a massive offensive in the Western front to try and win before
American get troops to Europe. Write a response on what has changed from the
start of the war and what the state of Europe and your country is in now as of
1917. (A solid 2 paragraphs or more and one response 3-5 sentences to another
post)
Topics you can write about, but feel free to write about anything relevant:
-Propaganda and government control during WWI
-What’s going on in America Unrestricted U-boat warfare, sinking
of Lusitania,
Zimmerman telegram
-Russia
has left the war and signed the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Lenin has taken over.
-Germany is launching their last all out offensive, hoping
America will take too long to get to Europe.
Good and bad news today. The Germans launched unrestricted warfare and now our ships can’t be protected if we enter the war zone. Before this, Czar Nicholas II got overthrown and the Germans wanted Mexico to gain some of our land in something called the Zimmerman Telegram. Due to multiple frustrations, we are going to war! I have waited so long for this day and finally, America will help the British fight in this war! Why Britain you say? Well, we developed from a British colony, we are both Anglo-Saxon people, and we have democracy. What was soon to be the end of a war is now the start of something new. Those Germans think they've got it all in the bag, but they will have to wait and see for themselves!
ReplyDeleteThe Germans really provoked us into this war I think because they knew that our president, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, a fine chap if I say so myself, wanted to “keep the peace.” Once they had Russia sign the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, they knew that it would just be a one front war against Britain. By giving up some of their land to Russia, they were saving themselves from battling two countries. They thought that when they win the war, they would be able to take back the land they gave to Russia. That is most certainly not going to happen because our military will make it in time because they are ready to fight and according to my colleague Emma, “you cannot build up a standing arm and then throw it back into a box like tin soldiers.” With that said, let’s get ‘em America!
~Marcus Brown
I don't mind being in this war, but Woody Wilson can't really use his peaceful sayings anymore because he just brought us into war. With that being said a lot can come from this economically. We will be paid back 2.3 billion dollars by the British (with interest), which will boost our economy, and we are already making bank by selling guns and war stuff to them. Plus, we get to test our new army, so GET'R DONE 'MERICA!!!
Deleteyehaaahhh oww oww!!!!!! we got this ameericaaaa! i agree Marcus,they don't know whats in store! and yes, the Germans did provoke us, what with their U boats and telegrams. this was a good blog, but i still feel like it was terrible. just like the CB of DC!
DeleteYeah i'm with you, war is awsome and I'm with you 110%ofthe way. We need to givea little thanks for Britain giving us the Zimmerman letter warning us about Germany's intention for us. So for my last words before i depart YIP SKIDDLY DOO let's get'r done America
DeleteKaitlyn- great post, and good work busting out Woodrow's real first name!
Deleteall of you great work using info from class yesterday!
Elia and Wildman- way to love America.
Jackie- nice work
I think the German's went a little overboard with the unrestricted warfare. Not to mention how we can't even see where they are underwater! How did they even make a boat underwater?! I think there'll be a way to see them and even the playing field one day. I think it'll be called television! I can see it now...
DeleteI have heard that our great country is now part of this ludicrous war in Europe. Well, like i said before, I really couldn't give a mouse's patoot about it. The propaganda is everywhere though! i walked out of my house and there right on my front step was a sign with a gorilla/ German holding Lady Liberty! I certainly didn't give anyone permission to hang a sign on my house, and when i saw it scared me so much i had to change my under clothing clothes! A man such as myself should not have to do such a thing! I think it was my neighbor. If your reading this Bert, I DON'T LIKE YOU. YOU SHOULD JUST GO BACK TO THE DESOLATE LAND YOU CAME FROM. He always seems to do just a bit better than I do in everything. It is not nice of him.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I heard about the Germans sending some letter to the Mexicans. They wanted them to attack us and distract us from Europe. How rude. The Mexicans are obviously smart because they declined. That is nice. Bert should be taking notes. By the way i found out a way to keep my wife from saying "My man's got two jobs". I just have her keep making me sandwiches that are horrible, I give the bread to the war drive people, and feed the rest to the stray dogs and rats (just to show you how bad the sandwiches are, the rats throw up when they eat them). This way, she is ALWAYS in the kitchen and the soldiers get bread. Everyone gets what they need, and my wife is always busy. Maybe she'll get better at cooking (maybe not). Until then, see y'all later got to get back to the slaughter house.
Being in the war as long as I have, the propaganda has proven itself to be a bit monotonous. The Germans, all though not giant gorillas, can be a bit barbaric at times. They believe that they can defeat the might allies with their puny U Boats. We'll see how that ends up for them.
DeleteMaybe she can clean your soiled under clothing clothes (as you called them).
DeleteGod Bless You good Sir! I almost had to change my own under clothing when i heard you Americans had joined on our side. However, I have to warn you I don't believe you know what your getting yourself into. I believe I fell for the propaganda trap as well and let me tell you, the war is not as seen in many of their descriptions. If I were you I would warn anyone left and make them reconsider.
DeleteIt has been a year since I have written you last. I believe that the great war is coming to an end. I am sorry that I was not able to come home. I have shot myself but the medics brushed it off as a flesh wound. I was sent back to the front line in under a week. Europe is a mess. It is unclear what this war has brought to us other than pain and suffering. Britain is still the strongest and the best country in the world. The Barbarians, also known as the Germans, have launched their final try to win the war with their unrestricted submarine warfare. We cannot get goods in or out of Britain without our fleet being fired upon. I am tired and weary and I want nothing else than to get home.
ReplyDeleteThe silly Russians have now fallen into a communist rule under the dictator of Vladimir Lenin. We were hoping that they would become a democracy but that has not happened. At Least not for more than a few months. But the end is in sight and once Britain along with the allies win the war, I shall be on the first train back to London. Tell the Children that I dearly love them and that I shall bring my gifts when I come back.
What gifts? Trench rats?
DeleteI got what I wanted! We are at war, hazah! We can beat those Germans to a pulp, and in my opinion, it was their fault for starting it with us. Those scallywags took away their restrictions on the U-boats, after President Wilson and them clearly agreed on keeping it restricted for the sake of our wellbeing. Can you believe it? After killing 128 of our people “by accident” they have some nerve to change to unrestricted U-boat warfare. I read in the prints that those boats are out to get us! They come sneaking in on their submarine contraptions and attack without our suspicion. This is why we needed to go to war. America needs to show Germany who’s boss. Ugh, I’m still mad about the sinking of the Lusitania- not only did it kill everyone, that was a state of the art cruise ship that cost a fortune to build.
ReplyDeleteThe other reason we went to war, I believe, is because of the Zimmerman telegram. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it happened like this: the German minister, Arthur Zimmerman, wanted support from the Mexicans. He told them that he would help “reconquer their lost territory in America”. This means states like New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. That sneaky jerk! We would never let that re-conquest happen anyway, but still… When we found out from Britain (they intercepted this telegram) we figured enough was enough, and shortly after that we declared war! Wow, I should become a journalist because I’m becoming pretty good at recapping these exciting events. I hope you enjoyed this weeks blog(:
p.s- sorry Mr. vanderkeyl, I gave up on being funny its easier !
Oh hush up!!!! You guys can't stand a chance against us Germans! Germany is the best country by far in this war! And since you are joining forces with the Allies, it just means that we are going to have to take you down with them when we defeat them! I wouldn't even bother joining the war. Just stay out of our way and continue doing your American things.
DeleteIt's alright, I'll just quietly weep in my sorrow.
DeleteHazzah is right my good friend! Finally, America is going to war! After everything those Germans have done to us like that nasty telegram and the U-boats, I wouldn't be surprised that we stepped in. I actually didn't enjoy this blog as well as the others and you should really rethink being a journalist! You don't want to make a big mistake and waste your whole life blogging when you could be out there fighting for your country! Well that's all I have to say so I'll talk to you next week!
DeleteYou forgot the most important reason America is joining the war! The entire future of the world was only because of Russia and our decisions. We revolted against our leaders so now America will finally step in! Give credit where credit is due.
DeleteI can't wait until you get here! The help is much needed and those nasty Germans deserve every piece of it they get. I want to crush the Germans to a pulp and give them everything they have been dishing out.
Deletewow I totally agree, I've been waiting for America to break out and actually use our new built up and improved military. Lets see how this bad boy works. We need to go over to Europe and defeat those Germans who think the are the best, but no us Americans are the best.
DeleteHow could you possibly want to go to war? Haven’t you heard of all the atrocities?! What exactly does going to war prove? We, Americans, have no reason to get involved! I don’t care what the Zimmerman telegram said. It didn’t end up happening now did it? People like you are the reason why soldiers are going to fight someone else battles!
DeleteI agree with you! We Americans need to show our strength and knock these guys out! We need to prove we are bigger and better than everyone else! We know to charge in to Germany and show them who's boss. No matter what America will always be the best and beautiful in my eyes! Now that we're in the war we can show what we are made of and what are military can do! Hope we can talk again! Goodbye and don't forget, America is da bomb! :)
DeleteAsher Doran (Kevin T.)
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSS!!!!! The war is almost over!! I can feel the triumph breeze in my hair already…if I had any!!! Russia recently left the war after Lenin and the Bolshevik takeover in November 1917. Because Russia left the war, it gave Germany such an easier time fight in The Great War. Germany is now able to fight a 1-front war against France in the western front. Originally, Germany was fighting 2 wars with France on the west and Russia on the east. This gave Germany a tough time fighting in the war. Now that Russia is out, it feels like we are that much closer to winning the war! After a while, the Americans decided to join the war and fight alongside with the Allies. I believe that America joined the war due to Germany launching unrestricted submarine warfare. They want to protect their ships that are going through the seas. In my opinion, I really do not want America to join the war. If they do, they would fight against us! We are so close to winning and I don’t want to lose this war! DAMN YOU AMERICA!!!!!
As of right now, life continues to be very comfortable to live in. I have nothing to do with the war. Even though the war is affecting many citizens, it does not seem to be affecting me at all! Men are doing labor work and women are working in factories with terrible conditions! I am so thankful and blessed that my wife and I do not need to do any heavy-duty work. Also, many people do not have enough to eat because they are encouraged to give up their food to our troops in the war. With the money that I have, I can buy as much food as I want to support my family! I hope this life continues for my family as long as possible. WE ARE CROSSING OUR FINGERS!!!
You blasted German! You are lucky that Russia left the war. If we had stayed in this war and suffered then we would have made you suffer as well. You got the easy way out this time. Do not under estimate us just because we pulled out of the war. My fellow friend, America is coming into this war and they will hit hard. Brace yourself, for you will not be able to brag about your wealth, comfort, and happiness for much longer...
DeleteWell you can tell those ignorant and weak Americans to prepare for our submarine warfare because after we are done with them maybe we'll go finish you Russians off next! So you be ready Isak. Don't worry Asher I got you. After our troops are done in France we should tell them to go take out the Russians! I'm sure both of my sons would be up for it!
DeleteGood post Kevin, but you were fighting in the same war just 2 FRONTS, not two wars. Otherwise well done!
DeleteBut saying Germany fought in two wars makes us look tougher!!
DeleteOh Asher, you are so oblivious. How can you not see that the allies are about to kick Germany in the butt. Also, your nieve and you can't see what is going on around you. All I'm trying to say is, after the French beat you sensless, the German leaders are going to blame someone because they have that natural German cowardly trait. Who do you think they will blame? The hard workers who fought for the country, or the lazy people like you who sit around all day tossing money like no one needs it. I'm just trying to warn you, Asher!
DeleteGermany will win this war! No one stands a chance against us. Not even the Americans. We have our u-boats and our incredible army. Nothing will stand in our way and we will be the greatest power in Europe.
DeleteHello my friends from many countries. Isak Zaslavsky reporting to duty! Let it be known that I am aware of the changes that have occurred since the beginning of this “Great War”. This time I am going to start with the best, instead of ending with the best. Russia. Oh, what can I say? Things are going just splendid. We were in this mess of a war and we were suffering like all of the other countries. We had war going on with Germany, our soldiers were getting tired, we Russians at home were starving, etc… I think you get the point. EVERYTHING SUCKED before we pulled out of the war. Now, I have no more major complains for my home country. We successfully went through two revolutions and ultimately got what we wanted. Sure, the democratic government we achieved in our first revolution didn’t pull us out of the war, but that’s why we had another revolution in November. Thankfully, Vladmir Lenin took over the government and pulled us out of the war. All of this done and it only took the signing of the Treaty of Brest- Litovsk. We signed the treaty, gave up some land, and we get out of the misery. Simple.
ReplyDelete***** POST IS CONTINUED BELOW ******
DeleteNow let us get to more dirty matters… Germany. Ugh. Those sneaky, smelly, and stingy Germans are up to some more trouble. This time it started with them launching their unrestricted submarine warfare. They are launching an all-out offensive with their submarines. That’s pretty cheap. Who do the German’s think they are blowing up ships from bottom up? Hey does anyone know why the Germans got involved in this type of warfare? (It’s because if they were out of the water then their enemies would run away after looking at their faces…they have to keep it low, if you know what I mean) Anyway, the Germans launched their unrestricted submarine game and then they sent that Zimmerman Telegram. I didn’t hear much about this, however. All I know is that the Germans were trying to send this telegram to some countries like Mexico and Japan. They probably knew America was going to get involved in the war, so they were getting countries to attack America. There were rumors that the Germans were promising the countries land in return when they won the war. Ha. Let me rephrase that real quick. If they win the war… Anyway, while Germany is creating this big mess with their submarines and unnecessary telegrams, guess who finally came to town. Good old America. (It’s about time). Everyone, not in the U.S, knows that Wilson didn’t want to get into the war. He wanted to stay neutral and support Britain at the same time. I completely understand why he would lean towards Britain. Any person with the right mind set would… Anyway, Wilson didn’t want to get into the war and destroy the peace he promised, but primarily due to Germany he had to get involved. The Germs with their submarines and Zimmerman Telegram being sent caused America to enter this giant of a war. The Czar being overthrown in my country also gave him a reason to join as he hoped that Russia would become democratic. Lastly, let’s not forget about the Germans sinking the Lusitania. If I were Wilson, I don’t think I would be very happy about my citizens dying unnecessarily; seems like a pretty good reason to get involved in the war. This is just a mess! Things have really changed since the start of this war. America’s getting involved, we pulled out of the war, and the Germans are nearing their end. Added on to this, the governments in countries are beginning to gain more power. They are telling factories what to produce and how much to produce. They are even setting limits on wages, prices, and foreign trade. The worst part is the fact that they are beginning to ration food…I wonder what will happen in the end. I guess I will have to wait and see like the rest of you guys. Oh yes, I almost forget. Has anyone else heard about a lot of pictures and cartoons around countries related to the war? I think it’s called propaganda. I heard they are trying to persuade people into doing things like joining the army and eating less food. Things are getting really weird… Everything about this war is changing from the start…
ReplyDeletePS. My cousin told me he saw a propaganda picture depicting a German as a wild, smelly ape holding Lady Liberty. He thought it was hysterical. What’s so funny about the Huns depicted in their natural way?
Ciao, it’s Giovanni Monacelli (Alec S.) I laugh at you Isak because you are so naïve. All your friends from many countries? HA! In case you haven’t noticed, most of Europe and now America is out to get you Germans. We Italians switched sides for a reason, because you Germans are delusional. You think you guys are the best but you are mistaken. The Italians alongside the Americans will take the Germans down in the blink of an eye! Maybe even faster than that, because after all, Germany is terrified of America. I mean that was probably the most cowardly thing I’d ever heard of when I caught wind of the telegram. If you Germans are so great, go to America and show them, don’t drag another country like Mexico into the war and have them do your dirty work. Oh you Germans just wait till America gets to Europe and then when we meet you in battle. The war is far from over I tell you!
Deletegreat coverage of what we talked about and reference to the propaganda Hari!
DeleteYIP SKIDDLY DOO! America is finally in the war! I’m finally going to fight for my beautiful America. I’ve already signed up and are about to be deployed as an artillery shooter where it’s more safe. Good thing I can still have a gun and fight though. I do have a couple of concerns though as I plan on going into the war. I am deeply worried that they will not allow me to wear my American flag jumpsuit when we are doing our jogging in the morning, but I guess I might have to give that up.
ReplyDeleteI guess I was wrong about old Woody Wilson. I guess if I found sume letter asking Mexico to attack my America then I guess I would go to war to. I’m just sad that I didn’t know that he would declare war and I voted for that other guy. I’m just ready to kick some of those Huns buts. I saw a poster the other day with one of those gorillas taking Lady Liberty with her boobs exposed. I might have to talk to one of my movie making friends to do something with that. I need to get my last connoli till the end of the war; I think it might be awhile before I have another.
I certainly hope your whole regiment is allowed to go for a morning run in American flag jumpsuits and speedos.
DeleteI don't understand how other americans like you want to go to war. why would you want to be shipped out to your own death?
DeleteJohn Smith (Alyssa Tocci)
DeleteLets keep fighting, my friend. Together, us Americans can stand up for our beautiful country. We have to show these other countries that we aren't fooling around and we mean business.
Your decision to come out to France is bad. My boy is a tough German and can take on any American in his way. I also understand why you want to got to war with us. We had to do what we had to do with the Zimmerman Telegram. Those posters about us are lies, we are not apes, and Americans might be though according to our posters. This war will truly test who will come out on top. May the best army win. (Germany)
DeleteDirk Schrempf (Brett K.)
ReplyDeleteWe are finally seeing the end to this damn war! Those wussy Russians backed out because of their soft leaders Lenin and Bolshevik. That will give us a great opportunity to move all of our troops to the western front so taking France will be a breeze! These Americans are really pissing me off though. First we warn them that we will be taking out any ships with our U-boats that go into the waters around Britain so what do they do? 128 of them and then a bunch of other idiots think Hey? Why don't we just go and get our a**es blown up so we can take a few pictures of these U-boats which nobody is ever going to see. Can't say we didn't give them fair warning but of course them being the ignorant Americans they are they blame the whole thing on us. So now we have to take a whole hour to come up out of the surface to say Hey yeah you cruise ship that's not supposed to be here we're gonna blow you up now ok? And then by the time we get back under the surface they're half way to Timbuktu. Another thing I hate about those Americans is that propaganda stuff. Do I really look like a gorilla?(don't answer that actually). But we have no intentions of invading America so I don't see why they put a picture of us on their shores.
Another thing that made me over joyed was that Serbia was taken over by the Bulgarians. Can't say I love the Bulgarians but I sure as hell don't hate them now! At least those Black Hand losers are all P.O.W or dead. I really think that this submarine warfare is what is going to win us this war. I think that it will be to quick and the Americans will not be able to react in time and will back out soon after considering neither us nor them wanted them to be in this war. I am really hoping that my sons will be home soon. I had finally gotten a letter from them the other day and they said they are not on the front lines so they are not in any danger. Well that is all I have for today! Long Live Germany!
Dimitri Korlov (Jake H.)
DeleteYou satisfaction will be short lived German. Mother Russia shall have her revenge, and you won't see it coming. We shall take back what is ours and take some of yours in return!
Yeah mother Russia!
DeleteAlso Brett great post, I liked your propaganda reference and the laid back writing style. Awesome!
Bonjour Dirk, Pierre Thomas here. I respect what you are saying, but with American troops on the way you can kiss your chances of winning good bye. I don’t know who you Germans think you are, but it is not possible for the Germans to take on 5 different countries. I have said this before and I will say it again, quit!! Save yourself the embarrassment and loss of life. The thought of Napoleon is keeping the French pride going strong; who do you have to look up to? No one comes to mind because Germany is subpar of a country. America is coming to help and that is an overwhelming factor that Germany can not handle.
DeleteAggressive response Pierre, nicely done.
DeleteIt’s Giovanni Monacelli (Alec S.) here. All I can say at this point is that I am less than satisfied with how things have gone these past months. Italy is not showing their great power and has the potential to do much better in terms of fighting and protecting themselves. For once, the great and powerful Italy is losing land! It has been rough on the army and the fact that our former ally Germany is on the verge of achieving victory which just adds stress and makes our military leaders angry. We left them for a reason, to join the more powerful side. Now these Germans have just come up with this great power out of nowhere! They seem to have more momentum than anyone else right now but I have not lost hope in my country at all for Italy is the best to ever exist. With American troops on the way, optimism for the future spreads among the army and our beloved country. America has official entered the war. It’s about time they put that lethal army of theirs to work! They will be a huge help in our comeback to victory! I mean they will be as long as they can get enough troops over here to make an impact. They better hurry up because if the take too long Germany will keep making progress, but of course they will not win because us Italians always find a way to come up with the win. For right now, it just leaves an unsettling feeling in my stomach knowing that Germany is in all-out attack mode to try and push for victory while we wait for the Americans. I know the Americans are on their way and when they arrive we will destroy those German chumps! We are just in a slump right now. It is just hard to have a stable navy set up when those damn Germans are launching unrestricted submarine warfare. Anyone of our ships or our allies’ ships could be sunk at any moment. It is such a coward move by the Germans to fight in this sneaky way. Act more like men and fight us face to face! They are probably just afraid of what Italy will do to them!
ReplyDeleteAgain and again I receive constant criticism about my work saying that it is full of lies and is propaganda. Just because I speak the truth about the great and powerful Italy does not make what I say lies. All the posters I create are all factual and are only to promote good things and nationalism. If anything I create positive propaganda. I’m not creating propaganda like these other countries to try and instigate countries to come to war. Here in Italy, we have so many lovers of our great country that negative propaganda does not affect us. We Italians could care less what the snobby Germans and other countries have to say about us. We will just show them what we can do in battle. Another thing about the Germans, they are such jerks! They sent a telegram, known as the Zimmerman Telegram, to Mexico telling the Mexicans to attack the Americans! Thank God the telegram was intercepted. Such a coward thing to do! All I have to say to the Germans is to just wait and see what Italy and America do when we get a hold of you guys on the battlefield! Some say the war is almost over and will result in a German victory but I say that the war has only just begun.
I love that your guy is a propaganda creator!
DeleteDmitri Korlov (Jake H.)
ReplyDeleteI am stunned that we have been pushed back so efficiently. Our armies should have beaten the Germans back, but instead we were just slaughtered.I spent my time in the trenches and i spilled German blood but i am relieved that this war is coming to an end. I'm finally leaving the damned trenches and going back to the warm embrace of the mother land. I may have left the trenches but it will never leave me, i can steal feel the man next to me getting shot by machine gun fire as we charged in the no-mans land, i can still feel my bayonet plunging into a Germans heart.
We may have lost this war but we will have our vengeance. We will take back our lost homes, and make the Germans experience the loss of land and lives in their own country! I am a soldier of the Motherland and if she needs me i shall be there to head her call! Until that day comes we shall prepare and mourn for the lost in the damned war. We have let our allies down in this war but we shall not do so again. Long live Mother Russian! Long live the Motherland!
Pierre Thomas here and things aren’t going as well in France as expected at the beginning of this war. Not only is France and the allies not gaining ground, they are being pushed backwards. I thought coming into this war that it would be a one, maybe two month central powers slaughter, but I appear to be wrong. The central powers have gained my respect, but they will still not be getting this victory because we have the “X” factor…… America!! Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare and telegram have finally put America over the edge and they are now ready to help out. Although the central powers have pushed us back, America has energy that all of us do not and with them on our side victory shall come quickly. You were naïve to think that they would not be able to mobilize quick enough to come over and put a stop to this madness. America is one of the top countries of the world (behind France of course) and they do this very efficiently. I strongly suggest that you throw in the towel now and save yourself the embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, to all of you allies who are not involved in the war, do something!! I’m not sure if you have seen the posters around but these German’s are not real people. Instead of trying to kill the enemy, I saw one German stabbing an angel right out of the sky. I of course being the Saint that I am, took out my gun and dropped this” thing” before he could do anymore damage. Also to all your Americans this one should hurt you, I heard a rumor that they are coming to steel Lady Liberty if they can win the war in Europe so be sure to get people here as fast as possible. Also be sure to protect New Orleans because I heard they were planning to do something there as well. I suggest that you build a dome there and protect it very well. Also make sure you don’t put to many people there because you must prove to people that you can win on the road and you can do so by coming to France.
Pierre, I am sure you do not know any better, but my name is Haagen-Dazs Heineken, and I am a German citizen. I have a wife and a family of six, and I can assure you that you have the wrong idea of German people. Just because we are superior to you does not mean that you have to untruthfully call us barbaric. Take your head out of your croissants, because we are real people, just better soldiers than you. I hope you smarten up once you lose this war. Cheers!
DeleteI enjoyed both of these posts, your NFl references are getting out of hand!
DeleteMrs. Heineken aside from being named after a dutch beer, your posts are exceptional!
A lot has changed since the start of the war. Most of them were accomplishments for my country, Germany. Russia left the war, making it easier for us to win now that we're not surrounded. The war is almost over, and I see it going very well for Germany. I seriously doubt that America could make it over here to stop us in time because of their senseless democracy. The reason we're about to win is because we do't have to vote on every little thing, we can be ready when we need to be. There is no way America will mobilize fast enough to turn this war around.
ReplyDeleteWe have been using unrestricted U-boat warfare and America can't do anything about it. Even with the Zimmerman Telegram being intercepted, the Americans can't get over here fast enough. I am completely confident in Germany winning this war. I understand that we're running out of resources and our soldiers won't want to fight anymore soon, but as long as America doesn't mobilize fast we will win. I knew all along that Germany would win. We are a strong country and deserve everything we've been fighting for in this was. No one can stop us, especially not America.
Never!!!! Germany will never win this war. If those cowardly Russians did not surrender, the allies would have won this war. France would have kicked Germany's behind with one eye closed. The Americans will soon join this war and Germany will be sorry.
DeleteI completely agree, as long as things continue the way they are going we will win this war for sure! Our location is no longer as great of an issue and we will have an easy time beating the western-front now that we can give them our full attention. There is no way that the Americans can get here in time to help the Allies.
DeleteThe news has recently been broken to us America has sent their own troops to fight on our side! This has caused great excitement in the trenches. Many of the men are beginning to remember what their life was like back in Britain. They are all starting to get the feeling that they may get out of this alive. Unfortunately, this great feeling has begun to cause some problems with our fighting. None of these men, myself included, want to be the last man killed in this war and for that reason very few men are running into no man’s land anymore. This has led to even less progression then before. The Germans, on the other hand, are going full attack currently to try to make one last push to Paris. They have resumed their unrestricted U-boat warfare and are going on a full out offensive hoping to win before America can get to Europe and get involved. In the little news I have heard from the outside world, I understand that the government is doing everything they can to support and get the citizens to support the war cause. Posters everywhere, news upon news of how citizens can help the cause. For me, I am just praying to be able to see my family members and wife again. I have lost several precious years of my life and I would like to live out the rest of my Golden Years. I hope to see everyone soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Danny, good overview of what the soldiers where thinking.
Deleteyo its yo dawg Flint from Michigan. I usually do not agree with entering in on foreign affairs, but the killing of 128 Americans is absurd. The new opening of an unrestricted idea, that allows German uboats to sink anything in their path, and sink the ships without warning is unreal,because it puts thousands of people at risk in the European warzone. My boi Wilson said that us entering the war is not revenge, but its destroying the taking away of the human right to travel and being safe in a open sea. Now I agree with the United states entering the war because its not a foreign affair anymore, its an affair that includes us.
ReplyDeleteI really hope the war does not last long because we all will be affected. We have been told to grow our own food, and deal with the compromise of the surplus of necessities. It is especially hard doing this with my three children, MR, VAND, and KEYL. Where I work we usually build and fix cars, but we will now start to build munitions, and armor for the new vehicles we have.
Stay safe, and we will all get through this together #whatsahashtag
peace out from the 313
second paragraph below
DeleteIt's a WAR zone for a reason. Why on earth would you want to go BACK to Britain anyways? We fought a war to separate ourselves from England and there is no reason to go back, ever. Not to mention, this war is completely a foreign affair, it's not our soil and it really has nothing to do with us. Also, how are you not outraged that your factory is being manhandled by the government that way? It's absurd!
Deleteyour kids may have the greatest names I've ever seen. Also Victoria, great response, very reasonable and great points made.
DeleteLenin did do a good job by fulfilling his promises, he got out of the war, but how cold is it up there in MOTHER RUSSIA
ReplyDeleteI really hope now that Russia pulled out, that we are still safe, one reason why the shlieflen plan failed is because one third of Germany's army was on the eastern front. So now the Germans can all focus on France which is where the GIs are going to be landing. All the propaganda that has been posted on the walls of the cities and towns, is really creating a bad image for the Germans, if they are really that devil like, the GIs really have to step up their game. Hope all turns out well, but we will see. I got to go to the factory. the company was just called by a guy named Browning , asking for .50 caliber munitions.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Exactly what I wanted to happen! SIKE. America in the war is the last thing I wanted to happen. President is such a liar. He said he would keep us out of war but then right after he gets re-elected we enter war. Honestly, who can I even believe nowadays? NO ONE! All this propaganda, I can escape it. Its like everywhere I go, newspaper & posters all over.
ReplyDeleteI swear if I lose one of my son's to this war I am done with America. I will seriously move to Canada haha. Also, about this unrestricted submarine warefare. If we don't send boats over there, no innocent people will die. PROBLEM=SOLVED.
Steven good start but needs to be a bit longer.
DeleteFinally Russia let the war. It’s about time in my opinion, does my government really need that many it’s and revolts just to listen to us! But at least things will go almost back to normal. And most importantly my family will come home. I sure do hope that the allies win, those bloody central powers should just be taken over by someone else. By having we pull out of the war, the whole Zimmerman Telegraph being intercepted and the U boat problems America is surely going to join the war. They will have everything taken care of in no time. Even though President Wilson loves Britain I love him. He is such a peaceful man and strongly believes in helping people for the good. I highly doubt that America only joined the war for their own economic reasons.
ReplyDeleteIf I were in America I would only join the war due to the horrid propaganda everyone in the world is spreading. Do women in America really believe that they will save the war by prancing in gardens planting seeds? I would join the war as a women to teach the American ladies a lesson. And with everyone portraying other countries as Huns, this entire situation is just silly people trying to fight. This war to end all wars needs to end sooner better than later. Russia was the smart ones and signed Treaty of Brest- Litovsk to get us out of the war. I feel bad these Americans have no idea what they are getting themselves in for. Besides all that stupid government mumbo jumbo I am just glad my family is coming home and can work in the factories like they should be.
The Allies better win the war. My entire family has perished because of this godforsaken war that is going nowhere, and if we don’t win, I will be beyond angry. The Germans are not honoring the agreements that they made, and I hope American troops gets here in time because, let me tell you, if those apes win, we will all be in trouble. Our country is going into debt, and I’ve never worked harder in my life! I’m working in that horrible factory, which actually isn’t even that bad, considering my best friends all work there, too. The women are all really pulling their weight, and I hope that will influence the future of France.
ReplyDeleteThe Russians are angering me, too, because they left the war! Not only that, but they gave 25% of their land to the Germans! As if the Germans needed more soldiers. I thought they were on our side, but apparently not. Of course, the Germans choose this as the best time to do everything they can to win the war, with extra people and the Americans on their way. Boy, am I happy they bombed them! I hope to see all the soldiers working as hard as they can with the Germans fighting so hard at the moment. I can’t wait until the Americans to get here and see what the Germans do in response.

DeleteGodforsaken war? This war was one the best things to ever happen!(Unfortunately I was discovered as a stow away 2 days after arriving in Europe and I got discharged) I would gladly lay down my life for the safety of my friends and of course my darling Angelique, 1 year married and proud! We wonderful people of the good ol' U.S. of A. would have been over in Europe IN A HEART BEAT if those damned politicians didn't hold us back like dogs on a leash! Do not fret Ms.Collins, help is on the way, even though I cannot be there.(P.S. Even though my manliness is beyond Godly comprehension, I must remind you that I am MARRIED and UNAVAILABLE. Thank you.)
Hahahahaha, I love the reply Adrian great job, very creative, made me laugh.
DeleteAlexander Johnson
ReplyDeleteTHE END?!? NOOOOOO!!!! We Americans have only been at war for a few measly years! I didn’t just raid a U.S. Airbase, fly 50 feet in the air, get shot down by a submachine gun manned by MY OWN WIFE, and have to walk with a cane for month FOR NOTHING! Yes my Up With Chocolate, Down With Britain Movement failed because SOMEONE TOLD ANGELIQUE ABOUT IT!!!!(I bet it was Danny Zwonik, that British cur!) I eventually managed to sneak aboard a Battleship en route to Europe and I am currently in a French base. Unfortunately, those mustache less politicians are ‘negotiating’. RUBBISH! FILTHY RUBBISH! I do not want this war to end! After ALL the shenanigans I’ve been through? I did not just jeopardize my marriage for nothing! Do you wish to know how long I have been out here? TWO DAYS! I only shot at least 500 men yesterday! How can I drink the blood of my foes I cannot even stay out here for at least 2 years?!?
Please note, that this is one week after the above paragraph. Angelique gave me what for when I returned home. She was absolutely FURIOUS that I snuck out to war. Although, I did get I ride ‘round the mountain for being in a full military uniform, after all Angelique loves a man in uniform! TALLYHO! Anyway, I have thinking about how we Americans can go to war once again. After all I’m 19 years old and only have at least another 35 years left to go. Sadly, I have been banned from going to war due to ‘grand theft of a biplane’ and ‘stowing away on a battalion ship.’ I was so ENRAGED that I marched into the gym and destroyed one of the punching bags in one punch! My over-manly achievement landed me another bully evening with Angelique. Maybe domestic life isn’t so bad. HA! And maybe a fox will sprout wings and fly away! *sigh* hopefully this wasn’t the last war ever and hopefully the next NON PACAFICIAL PRESIDENT will surly see to that.
MY lord, part of we wishes you were writing these for everyone (they probably do too), but hilarious work, I love the reference to Danny's post on the other blog great work again!! Exeptional.
DeleteVictoire mes amis! I can smell victory in the air. The Germans will finally pay for messing with the french. My good friend, John, in America was telling me about the various propagandas that are being set up to persuade the government to give into the war. Even if they cannot persuade the government, the American people should at least do something to help with the war. Alors, I made propagandas and sent them to John to put all over the city. While I was making them, I was thinking about my wife’s brother, Alexandre. Remember how I told you he wrote to me about trench foot, qui? Well, I decide to make a propaganda about that and another one to make the people of America feel guilty. You Americans are just sitting over there in your country enjoy ‘peace’ while the rest of the allies suffer over here. Zut Alors! Anyway I hope these new propagandas help persuade the Americans to join the war or at least help. Our women are knitting socks as fast as they can but our troops still need more. American women knit socks for the troops and fight for the greater good. Stop being lukewarm and get your behinds into the war!
ReplyDeleteJohn tells me he is eager for war. Ah mon Dieu, I remember when all of Europe was eager for war. Even my wife that used to call me a lazy man, agrees that it was a good idea I did not join the war. A lot of people have died and a good number are starving. Poor Alexandre in his last letter was telling me how he almost choked to death on some stupid gas bomb. Fortunately for him, the direction of the wind changed and the gas blew back to the Germans. Serves them right. I could only imagine if the wind did not change direction. La guerre est plus terrible! Mon cherie told me that her elder brother, Adrien, who is a commanding officer, claims that Germany is launching their last all out offensive. Adrien says Germany is desperate and is going against her promise not to sink ships. The Germans claim they are going to end the war in six months. SIX MONTHS!!!! I really hope the propagandas I sent John will help convince the American government to join the war and defeat the central powers. Goodbye my friends.
Super creative Emike, great job at incorporating relevant information from class, but also making it interesting to read!!
DeleteIt is always lovely to see someone that has the same views about how the war will end that I do! I doubt that the Germans will take the war, as do you. They are putting out their last effort but I don't believe it will be enough. They are simply not strong enough at the end of this horrible war. It's horrible to hear about the conditions that Alexandre is living in. I simply cannot wait for this war to be over so everyone can come home to our beloved country and recover.
DeleteHaagen-Dazs Heineken here, and I am so happy the war is coming to an end! I am having celebratory drinks with all my lovely children as I type, because I am just so relieved that none of them had to participate in the horrors of trench warfare. I don’t want them to see the ridiculous propaganda America has made about us though. Those American fiends showed themselves as kind, happy and innocent, and depicted us as brute and savage! You can ask my three year old daughter, although I am a German, I have never slain an angel or turned into an ape and carried women off. I think the Americans are just still sore about that cruise ship sinking incident. We warned them, and clearly told them that we have superior technology and that they should not take ANY boats into that specific area, and of course their cruise ship entered the war zone. They would’ve done the same thing if the tables were turned and they had created U-boats, which they didn’t.
ReplyDeleteRussia left the war, but Germany is still in it to win it. We can show the triple entente that we are the stronger alliance and that we can win!! Us Germans plan to put America in their place, without kidnapping women like their propaganda suggests.
Bonjour! My name is Jaques Baudin and i must disagree with you! Germany is not "still in it to win it", Germany has as much a chance of winning this war as i have a chance of taking my brilliant portrait of Napoleon off the wall above my bed(which is pretty spectacular i must add). I do however give Germany kudos for a valliant effort. I admire that Germany is still fighting in this war after such a rough start, i mean with the Schlieffen Plan failing and all. Also, Germany has really got it coming for them this time, upsetting the Americans! The Americans will arrive long before the war is over and help the rest of us put you to shamre. Let this be a warning to you!
DeleteGreat posts both of you girls, I enjoyed them both, funny and creative is the way to be!
DeleteYou Germans are horrible people. Sinking cruise ships! You should be glad America has joined the war, so you can face the misery of losing sooner. Your country started this and even though I don't believe America should be involved, Germany needs to be crushed for starting such a horrible war.
DeleteHello, various bloggers this is Peter Smith and boy have I got something to say.
ReplyDeleteWar? What war? I haven’t seen any Germans sprinting through my factory during lunch break. This isn’t our war. I don’t care what everyone says, but we should not be involved in pointless European politics. Sure, the Lusitania was sunk, but the only Americans on it were silly little European lovers, they were probably Italian too. Not to mention the U-boats, themselves; so what if Germany wants to launch Unrestricted Submarine Warfare? I haven’t heard of a single U-boat attack on Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, or Lake Huron. I’ll admit the Zimmerman telegraph was am underhanded move, (I never liked Germany) but it’s not like the Mexicans or the Japanese agreed. Also, it’s not as if we have been entirely “neutral in thought” Mr. President. Go ahead, I hope your little guard dogs read this. You know, I used to like you, but my opinion is my opinion. The Mayflower? Please, you’re probably secretly a Slav.
My wife is working in the factory now. Because all of these hooligans are rushing off to war, the economy is all jumbled. My good old factory has been forced to start packaging bullets in preparation for war. Bullets! I tell you. I, of course, won’t be leaving for war, just you try and draft me you pompous little Power Puff. All of these ridiculous posters keep encouraging me to “Plant a Victory Garden” or “Save the Wheat for the Soldiers, Eat Corn!” Let me tell you right now, I won’t be substituting my bread and butter for corn bread and tomatoes from my back yard. I am not a lunatic from Boston. I’ve never liked Europeans, and they can stay in their own country, but we have no need to wage war on them; get these dang refuges out of here first!
Shots fired! Calling Wilson a secret slav, probably hurt him more than losing the League of Nations!!!
DeleteHowdy, here from good ole America, it’s Giles Smith. I finally got what I wanted and that is war. That little sissy Woodrow Wilson finally decided to go to war and I am nothing but excited. Germany thinks that we are going to be slow to mobilize and get to Europe but those idiots have no clue that was working at lightning speed. Once we get there were going to hit Germany so hard this war is going to be over in the blink of an eye. I love how Germany needs propaganda to get people to join the war. But over here people are jumping in line and chomping at the bit to join the American army and that’s true nationalism. Also I love how they are using unrestricted U-boat warfare when they told us they wouldn’t which is CHEATING!!!!! They also sunk an American ship, the Lusitania, which ticked us off a lot. Then we found the Zimmerman telegram which put them on thin ice. So Germany better get ready for us to come over there and drive them back into Germany.
ReplyDeleteGermany will get revenge damn right! Us Brits, are there with you Americans and It’s gonna go down hard. We will rock you, Germans back off! They have gone too far, and it’s time for this alliance to get sweet victory!
DeleteHELL YES!!!!!! America is going to sweep through Europe with ease. Those damn huns think were taking 6 months to get over there and theyre damn wrong! we will be there in less than 4 and when we get there, were going to put the central powers down!!! I love America!!!!!!!!
DeleteI am feeling more patriotic after reading these posts. (please hold while I sing the national anthem).....
Delete.....
Great work folks
Just you guys wait until you all realize what war really is, then you will spreading propaganda like you have never seen before. Come talk to me when you realize what war really is. Brutality, hardship, and murder. Your a coward for just putting that in words.
DeleteWell I warned you last time, you have disrespected Germany for the last time! If we hadn’t been fighting this war for 4 years you would be so sorry that you ever said that. What has taken America so long to join the war, huh? Germany has been the most effective country and now that we have been weakened you join? You are all a bunch of cowards!
DeleteWe Germans have this war in the bag, and soon my boys will be able to come home victorious. Since Russia is leaving the war we have one less country to worry about. Now we can focus on France and the western front. I don’t feel as worried for my boys as I did when they were fighting a two-front war, of course I still long for their arrival back in our small town of Dresden. We need to win this war quickly before America has the chance to enter, their democracy and fact that they have to vote on everything will help us with time.
ReplyDeleteYes it’s true that Germany has started to launch unrestricted submarine warfare, but like I said, we have to win this war quickly. I believe that this act could lead to America entering the war, but of course they would take too long to mobilize and won’t be able to get here on time. I have inside information that we have a plan to keep America stalled and away from this war, but what other choice do we have? If we want to win this then we have to act fast because we are running low on resources. We are so close to winning this war and my boys are so close to coming home!
HA HA! America has already entered the war. It was your fault that us Americans did anyway, with sinking that ship and all. I guess you’ve never met an American before we are fast acting and never quit when there’s war! America will surprise and defeat you once and for all!
DeleteHULLO EVERYONE! Naval Officer Luis Smith (Shea M.) speaking! America has finally come to the war. I’ve been waiting to hear this great news since last year. Them filthy Huns, can finally get ready for the final countdown! Us Brits are done messing around! We warned the Germans to not mess with America after they sunk the Lusitania. That was a bloody thing to do, and the Germans promising to approach and warn U-Boats ended up to be bull in the end! They can’t mess with America. I don’t care that it’s the end of the war. Germany can’t launch unrestricted submarines ware fare without warning the fellow Americans, it disgusts me how they can be such savages. They’re idiots for thinking they will win the war. It really infuriates me that the Germans have propaganda saying, “It is Germany’s duty to win WW1” –Jesus. Lord help you frauds. You need Jesus, and it is pathetic how you Huns would even think about making this up. Jesus most certainly did not say “Germany shall rule the world.” It’s a disgrace to man- kind whoever made this up. Well us Brits and Americans are coming together, and it’s the final straw. Be careful Germans, we are coming at you. HARD. Even when you’re sleeping keep your ey-eyes open!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe this nonsense. You Brits don't know what the hell you are talking about. America can't do anything, they aren't as strong as they think they are. Germany's duty is to win the war, for they are the most powerful country anyway. You British people need to learn common sense. Us Germans are FEARLESS and this world is OURS.
DeleteAnother great song reference, also did you mean to reference "the final countdown" by Europe??? if so impressive.
DeleteGlorious day! The war is finally looking bright on our side for a change.
ReplyDeleteAmerica finally joins the side of France-ahem…the Allies. I do wonder…what took those fools so long? Maybe there was some international conflict with Germany trying to win the trust of America. Ha, Germany has no chance at that, they as related to Americans as my crepe is to a head of lettuce. The British will get us America’s support, they’re closely related to America, and America has already dumped their cash into our side to win. The Germans were betting on America to take way too long to get to Europe, but those Americans got here in no time at all.
American soldiers are streaming in and creating a much needed morale boost in this ravaged land. This war will be a clear victory for us…almost like those glorious Napoleonic Wars, yet to a lesser extent. (Still, Napoleon would have demolished those bloody Germans if he was alive...) On darker news, Russia is getting very messy. They did dethrone their czar, and moved to a democracy…for only a little while. Then, they turn to the dreaded communism, and gave up on the war! What were they thinking? Sure…they couldn’t support themselves very well in the war…but giving up land and turning this war into a one front war for the Germans sounds like a terrible prospect for the bleak history of Russia. At least we’ll have the Americans joining us to fight the German force, so this war isn’t unfair to the Allies side.
I’m starting to see these new “propaganda” ads floating around. They’re hilarious, showing the Germans as they really are, ravaging beasts, and it seems women are making a name for themselves in these ads. I have no problems with women working in this wartime, but….in the off chance that they grow beards and become men…bah, like that would ever happen to those delicate women, right Diana? ~~
“Stop being so sexist! I don’t want that attitude in this household!” she says. Well, I may have pissed off my wife. Looks like I’ll have to sign off for now. Bonjour, and see you when France-errr, the Allies beat Germany to a pulp.
So many men upsetting their make believe wives on this blog!
DeleteA lot has changed since the beginning of the war. For one Russia has stepped out of the war, making the Allies weaker! I have no idea what the Russians were thinking! They were brought into this war to help out us Allies and now they back down? If I learn one thing from this war it is who France’s toughest allies are.
ReplyDeleteAt first the Allies were pushing the Central powers back, but now the Central Powers are pushing the Allies back. I have a feeling that the end of the war is near and if this is any indication of which side will win, it is not looking good for the Allies. Germany is giving this war everything they got and I give them kudos for that, but they do not realize who they are messing with. They are messing with the strong, witty, brave, Allies who will not accept anything short of a victory. Plus, by launching unrestricted submarine warfare, the Germans have upset the Americans (another strong group in alliance with us). The Germans think that they are clever, that by the time the Americans get involved in the war that the war will be over, but I can reassure them that they are wrong. The Americans will arrive sooner then they think and when they do arrive, the Allies will prove dominant once again! I can almost taste the victory! The Americans will soon arrive with a fresh army full of men willing and excited to fight for their country (as did the French when the war started)! They will carry determination in each stride they take and bring with them brilliant weapons of all sorts. We will fight until there is a clear cut winner and the war will be done. Time can only tell who will become victorious, but I am very confident that the Allies will give it all they got and put the Central Powers to shame. - Jaques Baudin (Christina C)
Who do these frickin' Huns think they are?!?!? Sinking a cruise ship and killing 128 Americans!!! They better quit sinking everything they see before we Americans decide to get involved I this chaotic war!!! And believe me it won't end well for the Huns once we step in!!!!
ReplyDeleteThen the British reveal a letter sent from Germany to Mexico requesting that they attack America in exchange for lost land!!! They have taken it too far this time! President Wilson has even had enough!! And he's running his campaign on peace!! We are entering this war and it shall soon be put to an end!! We will use all force necessary to take down the central powers and we're doing for democracy!!! This will be the war to end all wars and make the world safe for democratic governments!!
Hello lad, Ha right I'm on your side Germany is full of a bunch of cowards! who do they think they are with this letter? Like really do they think they have a chance to win? Hahahahaha good one. all I've got to say is that you guys better out those cowards in place. just wanted you to know is that I'm on your side for this one. #teamamerica #germanyisdumb
DeleteJohn Smith (Alyssa Tocci)
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like America has finally entered the war even though it's close to over. I still don't understand why we were dragged into this, we had nothing to do with it in the beginning. Although, I am mad that the Huns would go and sink American ships. What gives them the right? I do think Germany is wrong, we'll be able to mobilize on time, we're America, we can do anything. And I do suppose it's our duty to keep everyone on track and possibly at peace. I've decided to sign up to fight. Though I don't like these foreign affairs, I do love my country and I'm willing to risk my life for it. I just hope my wife will be okay alone raising our children. Now that I'm involved, I will fight until the end, no giving up or turning back now.
good post, just need to expand on these thoughts a bit.
DeleteI’m back, fellow bloggers, I have some bad news to report today. America has officially entered the war. Those stupid German sucked us into this war with their unrestricted U-boats warfare. Since Russia’s czar was overthrown and they became a democracy, made President Wilson’s decision about joining the war easier. Final reason that made America enter the war was the Zimmerman Telegram. Germany sent telegram messages to Mexico and Japan telling them to attack America so that we would be distracted from the war. America is in the war, thank god didn’t know it would take Woodrow Wilson this long to finally decided to go to war with the allies. Britain, our Anglo-Saxon friends in Europe, are on our side because you know were the best race, and democracy is the best type of government around. Germany better watch out cause their plan is going to back fire. Well that’s all I got for this week see you next time, now let’s go America and kick some German butt.
ReplyDeleteYou're certainly taking your sweet time coming on over. We don't exactly enjoy sitting in puddles of rats, poop, floating poop, and rats floating ON pieces of poop. And Germans don't have butts. They have what's known as behinds.
DeleteOh you Americans! Wouldn't it have been so much better to have no part in this war? If only this whole thing hadn't dragged on so long, you Americans and we Italians could have continued on and left them to quarrel over who knows what anymore. Though I do appreciate your allies assistance against the Central Powers, and good luck winning this foolish war.
DeleteDante D'Attilio (Sarah S.)
Good post, and great replies.
DeleteHello lads, Eli reporting to duty and just wanted to let all you guys know that it’s good to be in the driver’s seat for this war. Ha! And in our favor the war is coming to an end and like always we are in control! LOL at the Germans trying to pull a fast one with the submarine warfare, to bad our naval base is too smart to get hit by a cheap shot. The best part about this war was for the most part we just let all you countries battle it out while we were just chilling and watching you guys die.
ReplyDeleteOh by the way our biggest “treat” Germany has absolutely no chance at winning the war sine America has come in. Thank you! America for basically eliminating Germany. Hey Germany better luck next time loosahs! I’ll see you guys when the war is officially over and when Brittan is in complete control of the world. Good day!
double check your spelling!
DeleteJ. Ruth
ReplyDeleteLet me say right off the bat that I have no hard feelings to Russia. This war sucks. It wasn't the glory and gore filled fun the posters made it out to be. Gee whilickers, some of the posters
were downright genius! I saw one that advised not eating wheat. Brilliant. Who doesn't love a corn muffin, especially Americans? But those Germans, they almost out did us. Almost. Nobody can beat
Britain. Having Jesus on their side? That was pretty convincing. Hey can I just point out Americans took my advice?!?!? I GOT AMERICA TO ENTER IN THE WAR EVERYONE!!! Kids should learn about me in
World Studies II from now on. Alright, I'll share SOME credit. Mainly it was because Germany screwed up. Asking other countries to attack America? That's in effect declaring war on them. And the
U-boat warfare thing sparked things up as well.
Everyone is worried that America will take too long to show up and Germany will win. Nah brah, we got this. I hope. Maybe. Did y'all hear what happened in Russia? They's got a Communist
government there nowadays! Also probably convinced Wilson "You know, it would probably be a good idea to stop dragging our feet and commit already." But all that peace without victory crap?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha NO! And with that, I'm off to pretend to enjoy Shakespeare.
Dear Mr. Ruth
DeleteDo not get me started mate on the unrestricted submarine warfare. Do you know because of those silly U-boats, I had to swim one mile, in the English Channel. It wasn’t fun. It was cold and wet and the water was very choppy. So if anybody should be going down in history mate, it’s me, Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot.
Ill add you to the World Studies curriculum next year.
DeleteGO O.C.C. swimming a mile, I heard you were good from Kelley and Janosko, but who knew?
DeleteThis bloody war needs to end! I hear the end is near, as those stupid Germans just decided to launch unrestricted submarine warfare. For the rookies, that means that the u-boats don’t have to go up to our ships and knock anymore, they just blow us up! As you should know, this should bring America into this war. It might take a while, because everyone one of those red, white, and blue buttholes has to vote on joining the war. They better hurry, us French actually need help for once. The president of America, Woodson Willie or something, said the army will get here in like 5 or 6 months.
ReplyDeleteThese Germans are getting very sketchy, let me tell you. After this warfare with the u-boats, they tried to send telegrams to Mexico and Japan. Luckily, the smart British intercepted it. They asked Mexico and Japan to attack America. Can you believe that? I almost had a heart attack when I heard that. Along with this, I’ve seen posters all around town with Germans on them. It said, “If the Germans are not stopped, Europe will look like Belgium.” I knew I should’ve enlisted my boys, but after what I was through, I couldn’t. They will still be entered in the draft though, so I will pray for my boys to be fortunate enough not to be chosen. I also heard that the Germans were trying to re-enter France. Good luck! You’ll need it. Nobody is going to defeat us, ever. We are to strong, especially with British help.
Another thing and I don’t mean to speak down to the Russians, but about time they got out of this war. They couldn’t contend from the beginning, with too many of their own problems to deal with, they had no right fighting in this war. But, in recent news, the Czar was finally overthrown, and maybe this will be a step in the right direction for them, after they left the war a little while ago due to the Brest-Litovsk Treaty. So goodbye my friends, and next time you see me, I will be victorious.
I'm gonna teach him as Woodson Willie form now on. Thanks for that.
DeleteMartin Smith, writing to you all again. Now we, Americans, are involved in the war! How ridiculous! All of these insanely biased posters have been plastered throughout Flint. They show Germans as brutal, uncivilized animals! So much for “not taking sides”. I can’t escape all this propaganda, it’s everywhere from the supermarket to even my neighbor’s yard! I don’t care about all this war zone nonsense. Sure, it’s aggravating how persistent the Germans are, but they can tell that America is shifting towards Britain; after all we did lend far more money to the Allies than the Central Powers. The fact that Wilson was running on the idea of peace, was quite hilarious! He wants peace, yet he lets the unrestricted U-boat warfare affect his decision? The entire war is completely outrageous. Why should America lose money and soldiers in a European war?
ReplyDeleteLet’s face it, the only reason America, even bother to enter the war was over the immense amounts of money that would be lost if the Allies are defeated. Now, we, Americans, are risking our soldiers’ lives all because of money! I envy the Russians! They are no longer in this idiotic war. This is dumb; why does Russia leave, only to have America enter? Perhaps (similar to what the Germans believe) the American soldiers will take so long to get there that the war will be over. I cannot believe that America is in the war, I truly believed we would keep our noses out of Europe’s business! Well, goodbye fellow bloggers, let’s hope for the end of this wretched war!
I entirely agree with your analysis, Martin. The Americans should definitely not participate in this horrible war. It would benefit both America and Germany. America wouldn't have to risk losing many things. Germany would just finish off the war by winning it. Wouldn't that make life easier?

ReplyDeleteIt’s a miracle! The war to end all wars is coming to an end. I have been worried sick about my boys for about four years now. I haven’t heard from them in ten months. The last thing they had said they were participating in was the incident of the U-boat. They were involved in the sinking of Lusitania. I have no idea what they are doing now exactly or if they’re still alive. My wife can’t fall asleep at night due to the thought that our sons may not arrive home.
On the bright side Germany is looking like they’re going to win the war. Well of course we are going to win. With Russia out of the war we have this in the palm of our hand. Now we have less countries to deal with. Earlier, after the incident with the sinking of the British ship, Germany pledges not to sink ships without notifying them. In the end we launch unrestricted submarine warfare. This can lead to the Americans joining the war. It doesn’t matter because the Americans are so slow. There is no chance for them to come and attack. We are the best country, there’s no one that can defeat us!
I couldn't agree with you more! But I mean it was kinda sorta your fault America is going into it! I'm just glad I'm out I wouldn't want to have to deal with you guys up our butts again! Toodles!
DeleteNo one wants Germany up there butts, really? right?
DeleteEllo, to one and all, except if your German. Oswald here, reporting to you live from some random beach in Belgium. Now, you may be asking yourself, why is Oswald, that magnificent Brit, standing around on a beach in Belgium. Well I’ll tell you why, it all started last week. See one day me and my mates were down in the galley having a bite to eat when we heard a sort of knocking coming from the outside of our ship. At first we all thought we were going batty. Thinking it is was mermaids or some other mythical creature. But as it turns out it was the exact opposite of beautiful mermaid. It was scummy Germans. They told us they were warning us that they were going to sink us. So, we had to wait until they re-submerged. They had to be bonkers thinking we were going to do that. So, we amid our guns and unleashed the gates of hell upon those poorly mustached fools. Thing is though, were weren’t the only ones doing this. All other ships that the Germans were “warning” were either fleeing or attacking them.
ReplyDeleteNow though, in a last effort to win this war, which will never happen, the Germans have enacted what they call, Unrestricted Submarine Warfare. Meaning, they wouldn’t be politely knocking on the hulls of ships to warn them about the fact that they were going to sink them anymore. So, here I am. Cruising on my ship about a mile or so off the coast of Belgium when blam! Were hit by a torpedo. Now, you may be thinking, ok so then you just got on a life boat. Well, if you are thinking that your wrong. I being the tough, brave, gentlemen that I am decided to swim. That’s right mates, I swam one mile through the cold, choppy waters of the channel to Belgium. Be jealous. Now, I swear when my rescue boat arrives or I find a British military camp, whichever comes first. All of Germany will feel the wrath of Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot!
Oh Mr. Cobblepot it is sad news that your ship was struck down by those Germans but at least you are safe. Maybe once this war is over you and your family can come and visit the beautiful and spectacular city Venice. Where you can take a lovely ride on the canals with wife.
DeleteHahaha, I truly loved this post Nick, amazing job! I was wondering what a splendid man like OCC was doing on the beach.
DeleteHarry, nice of you to offer him a canal on the dirty canals of Venice.
Dear Journal,
ReplyDeleteIt does seem the end of this dreaded war is in sight! America had joined the war many months ago, due to an attack on a British cruise ship with several Americans, from the Germans, if only they had kept to themselves, and chosen to stay out of this childish battle. Though I can not say for certain, Britain and its allies seem to have the upper hand on Germany. I do think they can bring this war to a close. I do hear of many peoples theories of the victor and the loser, but to me, this war has no victor, only losers. All these countries have lost a large amount of man power and their civilians have suffered significantly. I can not even begin to fathom the amount of death, and the bleakness of being in a dark, bloody warzone with the stench of death and decay everywhere you turn. The horror and trauma the surviving soldiers have, I can not imagine.
My country of Italy has taken a course of action on this war since I have last written. We created a treaty with the Allies, so that we could gain the lands that Austria ruled, for our fellow Italians that live in those parts. In October, the Central Powers dared to attack Caporetto. We did not stay and fight. We retreated, but it was such a disastrous event. Britain and France did help us keep the Central Powers it of our marvelous Italy, which I am grateful for. I am glad we have taken action! We will show this crumbling Europe our power! Until the true end of this war, Journal.

(P.S. I posted on the last post too, and I did my reply :) )
P.P.S. I saw it Great WORK!
DeleteSo Germany recently introduced poison gas and the war zone. We also made pledges not to sink cruise ships and to approach ships to warn them before sinking them. In my opinion, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Why would we tell the enemy that we are sinking their ship? Doesn’t that ruin the point of sinking it if they can escape? We might as well just say “Hey protect yourselves from us we are going to try to kill you!” Britain has been trying to take advantage of this new pledge, while America just looks the other way. If I were the other countries, I would take advantage of whatever I can get, but I am so very glad that they have absolutely no common sense. Germany is a very strong country that is unbeatable.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I have a pretty good feeling about my country right now. I think we will be the ones to come out on top. Radical revolutionaries led by Vladimir Lenin take over the government by promising “peace, bread, and land.” The fact that we invaded Russia, and that Russia was struggling from starvation and bad leadership enabled us to sign the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with the Russians. It meant that Russia would give up twenty five percent of their land and population, and that they would leave the war. Us Germans are benefitting very much from this, and now we can focus on France much more than before. The world will be ours in no time, don't mess with the best.
Well Russia is out of the war!!! Thank the Lord!! It’s just about time! To be quite honest, in my opinion, our government is just fine even though people don't really listen to us... But at least things will start to go a little smoother. and I'll finally be able to see my wonderful wife and three bratty horrible little "kids". Im honestly just hoping that the allies win, because those central powers are really starting to tick me off!! When we pulled out of the war, I'm pretty sure America is about to because the whole Zimmerman Telegraph being intercepted shenanigan and the U boat problems they're surely going to burst! Even though Wilson doesn't really like russia I think he's a great man and has the right intentions. I actually think that America only joined the war just for their own economic reasons. I mean it just seems like the type of thing they would do they'd probably be billionaires there down on wall street!! If I were in America I would only join the war because of how bad the propaganda is and with everyone in the world is seeing that! Do chicks in America literally think that they're going to save the war by dropping seeds into the dirt? Honestly? If I could join the war as a woman I would join the war to get these dumb americans to understand how stupid they look and maybe even try to help them out cause they're long pretty bad right about now. This war thats supposed to end all wars needs to just end already. We (Russia in general) were the smartest ones and signed Treaty of Brest- Litovsk to get us out of the war. Sorry not sorry America! you brought it onto yourselves... Blame Germany!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you can see your "horrible" kids? ha
DeleteHaha also like the thing on American chicks dropping seeds.
Hello again my fellow Italians and all you other fine people! This is Vincenzo D’Alessandro here to bring you more news and more of my opinion on this war. As of late it seems we have reached the finals for this long and dread filled war. Even though now that we are even at the end of all of this there is still no knowing who will actually win this war. Though I do believe us Allies shall prevail and triumph above those nasty Germans and who ever in their wrong minds thinks it is a smart idea to be on their side. Sure Italy has lost a little in Alps but I promise you this once we win we shall reclaim all land that has been lost and all the land we were missing that was filled with my Italian fellows.
ReplyDeleteThough Italy is having some trouble I feel bad for anyone at sea. Lately those Germans have really gone desperate and broke their agreement with the Americans and have launched Unrestricted Submarine Warfare. By doing so they have now practically forced the hand of the Americans to join and only lead to their demise. Another thing that practically ended up leading to the Americans to join in is that Mr. Zimmerman desperately asking the Japanese and Mexicans for help, but he terribly coded his messages which lead to the British easily deciphering what those telegrams were. I do say in the end of all this the Allies will win and all of you hard working military and navy men will be able to go home while those suffer the consequence for their actions. Though I will feel sorry for those Germans who wanted nothing to do with this war and will be suffering for no reason.
I can agree and disagree with your last statement my Italian friend. Those damn French had it coming for them i mean, they definately needed a kick in the rear end if you know what i mean and all. I also agree with the fact that we shouldn't have been in the war because Austria-Hungary didnt really do as much fighting that we did. The only reason why we joined this war is because 1. We really had a bone to pick with the disgusting French people and 2. because we were allied with the Austrian-Hungary from the beginning. Thank you for feeling bad, everyone seems to hate us these days for no reason.
DeleteKarlheinz Kruger here again. At last our victory looks like it is in our grasp! We're just pushing the Britains and French back with our all out effort, along with the dear help of our friend Jesus of course. These Americans wont even be able to come close to touching us while their mobilizing and training their amazing "dough boys". Although i don't really agree on the fact of why we made America enter the war because of the stupid tiny things we did. Why would we want to say "Hey other boat just give us an hour before you all get sunk" ? The use of our unrestricted u-boat warfare was definately our best idea because once we started sinking those ships all of the supplies that would've gone to Britain is at the bottom of the ocean. The only one thing that bothers me though is that we just had to have our telegram being intercepted. I mean no disrespect to out generals and all but i dont think we did the best job making sure that no one would tell about it. Its ok though America will have no chance of getting to us by the time we're done with these pitiful Frenchies. Its especially good that we got Russia to sign a peace treaty so that we can focus all of our attention on our main front in France. To all the Russians out on this blog i thank you very very much, you have made the lives of many German soldiers very easy.
ReplyDeleteOnly a few weeks later after what i said before have we just realized we lost our war! I wasnt told anything at all about us losing, i mean c'mon we even have Jesus helping us! All of those propaganda posters we're just so that we would end our war with a treaty. Luckily though my sons have told me all about what had happened. So apparently the Americans were actually indeed a very fast mobilizing army, and got to the aid of the French and the British only within a couple of months. We were working so hard but we just kept getting pushed back and farther back, we even tried to make peace with the Americans, but nooooo "We need the Brits and the Frenchies to agree with us also" which would never happen ever in a million years. Luckily though we didnt get invaded or taken over by any other countries. I'm ever so glad that my boys are home safely i mean even Dragobert is growing a better stache than his old man, i have much work to do on my stache now. Humbly accepting our defeat this is Karlhienz Kruger signing off.
Bonjour, fellow German.
DeleteWe are all glad this blasted war is over. You guys put up a good fight, but those Americans luckily came in and saved-ahem....helped us win. I generally detest Germans, but you seem like a nice fellow. I concede, Austria, in a way, dragged Germany into this war with their declaration of war. In the coming conference after this war, we can hope that Germany gets a fair verdict.
Au revoir, we shall meet again. (in math classes)
Really informative but also entertaining post Andrew, spectacular work! Goodluck doing math with fair Voravich of Germain.
DeleteWe got this war in the bag. We have no dealeo with Russia since they signed the treaty of Brest-Litovsk and now we can for sure win the war. I read in the newspaper today that we are doing unrestricted U-boat warfare against any ship that they see. We also sank the American ship, The Lusitania, which of course made them angry. The British mainly deserved it with them putting food on the contraband list and all. We wanted to make sure that America would do us no harm so we sent the Zimmerman Telegram to Japan and Mexico to attack America. Of course both Japan and Mexico backed out, what babies they are. It doesn’t even matter if everyone fights against us since we have Jesus, we will never lose with him on our side. Now that America found out about are scheme to distract them, they are now entering the war.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is to slow make an army and even if they get their army done and ready to go, the war would be far over with us as the victor. We are now doing a plan called the Ludendorff plan. In this plan, we send all of our troops to France to take them over. This plan will only work if America doesn’t intervene. We are now starting to send all of our troops over to France. There is a lot of stuff going around about how the French is doing all these cruel things to our German soldiers and even us. For me, I know that this is propaganda just because it is obvious. We are only doing this to wild up the German citizens and to make them hate the French even more. My two boys always wrote home to me about what was happening. I guess that America came to France to help them win the war with there all so special dough boys. This made it hard for us to win. They told me that they kept on pushing us back. One week I only got one letter. My younger of the two died in a weird way. He told me that Ulrich said YOLO, I don’t know what that means, and ran into no mans land only to be ran over by the slowest vehicle ever, the tank. It is a hardship for me but now I will have to deal with it. Things only got worse from there. The French and America pushed us all the way back and we lost. Luckily we weren’t invaded. So this is Maximilian Schmitz saying good night Germany.
haha glad someone managed to finally incorporate YOLO into a tweet. Really nice work.
DeleteNicholas II was probably taking pictures with his new camera and playing tennis, those were his favorite activities.
ReplyDeleteRussia really? With all that propaganda and what not you just had to pull out of the war. After all that buildup for a war and you just had to pull out. I mean I get that the trenches aren’t exactly what we expected, but seriously the other countries are going to exclude us from all the events coming up. We’ll probably never let this down.
ReplyDeleteNicholas II really did need to be overthrown. However, we should have become a democracy. The allies are all democracies if we don’t become one they’ll most likely exclude us from everything politic in the future. Why did we become communists anyway? Lenin’s choice I guess. Not that smart of a choice in my opinion.
Russia pulled out of the war because we Germans were beating you guys pretty badly.
DeleteNeed to expand on your posts, although its a good start.
Delete: As much as I hate these Germans I must admit they are awfully persistent, trying to force their way in to our fair country once again. We can handle them on our own but once the Americans get here they will not stand a chance and we will show them their rightful place. We stopped them at the Marne and we shall stop them here, and prove to them that when they mess with France they will always be proven inferior.
ReplyDeleteMy fellow citizens of France I ask if you stand behind me in the fact that we are the greatest nation the world has ever known and that the Germans shall pay for thinking that Ludendorff can fight off the combined might of the rest of Europe. We shall defeat them and take back what is rightfully ours (and a little bit of theirs). And as for Wilson’s 14 points, Ne soyez pas ridicule! A peace without victory is the product of useless war, let’s make this one count.
The Germans will win this war. With this final push, we will beat you! Our U-boats will sink the American ships! Plus Jesus is watching over our troops.
DeleteI second that and completely support your thought Elmo. How could the French, Americans, and British defeat our all mighty Navy. We have U-Boats, Jesus and a powerful Army to go along with it. I don't know how they can compete with these things. We are Germany and no one is going to be able to stop us.
DeleteRichard Pine here. All the immigrants are gone! But, now America is involved in war! The streets are filled with propaganda and it won’t stop! They’ve already brought in all the young men and husbands and they’re still looking for more. America only joined the war because those blood-sucking Germans have this thing where they sink ships to keep Britain from getting supplies since Britain put food on the contraband list of what goes into Europe. So the Germans warned us not to send anyone on this British cruise ship and 128 Americans died. The Germans need to stop fooling around and get they’re act together for Americans can not have German immigrants coming into our country after war and acting as though they are on e of us. They are not they are like all the other immigrants.
ReplyDeleteThe President is stuck on his 14 points: 1. No more secret agreements 2: Free Navigation of all seas 3. An end to all economic barriers between countries. 4. Countries to reduce weapon numbers. 5. All decisions regarding the colonies should be impartial 6. The German Army is to be removed from Russia. 7. Belgium should be independent like before the war. 8. France should be fully liberated and allowed to recover. 9. All Italians are to be allowed to live in Italy. 10. Self-determination should be allowed for all those living in Austria- Hungary. 11. Self-determination and guarantees of independence should be allowed for the Balkan states. 12. The Turkish people should be governed by the Turkish government. 13. An independent Poland should be created which should have access to the sea. 14. A League of Nation should be set up to guarantee the political and territorial independence. I have no clue why America is trying to help out Europe if we’re heading off to war with them and against them. It really makes no sense why and people should be able to figure this out by themselves! In their OWN countries! Thank you immigrants for leaving. And Long Live America!
Sorry about the one before this I must not have copied the right post.
DeletePraise the sweet Emperor Napoleon! America is in this with us. We now have a strong enough chance to push the Germans out once and for all. And once they are out they must be punished for their crimes in war. And thank your brave American citizens for finally getting involved in this horrible war. Peace is in sight. I might not die in these trenches after all.
With all the propaganda, it’s hard to tell what’s going on, but it looks like Germany is winning. The allies have not set foot in our country yet, and the trenches are holding them back. With the huge offensive in the Western front, there’s no way we can lose this war. Hans has written and says Germany is launching unrestricted submarine warfare for the first time since he and his crew sunk the Lusitania. Even if this brings America into the war, it will take too long for them to mobilize. We defeated the Russians, and it will only be a matter of time before France and Britain get crushed.
ReplyDeleteMaria and Brigitta have started working in a factory producing guns. With all the young folk out fighting the war, lots of women have also started working in factories. I am doing civilian labor for the government. I am worried about little Liesel staying at home with my old father. He is already on his last leg (literally- he lost the first one when he was a boy).
The dreadful and long lasting war is coming to an end. I will finally be able to see my kids and wife again. I wonder how the greatest country is doing. (And of course that is France). The 4 years has taken its toll on Europe, There is destruction all over the continent, whether it physical destruction from the war or famine and disease as an outcome. Because of the Germans and their unrestricted U boat attacks the Americans are forced to join, however that wasn’t the only cause of the wonderful country to join. The sloppy Germans and their thoughtless code sent the Zimmerman telegram asking the Mexicans and the Japanese to attack the USA, clearly not respecting their neutrality.
ReplyDeleteRussia has left the war and has turned into a democracy for a little but against all odds they have turned in to a communism. Their leader Lenin does not have the best intensions for Russia. HE is going to fly it straight into the ground. I better get going the sarg believe that Germany is going to put an all out attack on the front lines in hopes of getting the brutish and us to break. As long as the USA gets here in time this war seems to be in favor of the allies.
The war is almost to an end! German is a great and powerful force that will dominate the western front and destroy the French. Russia pulled out of the war allowing us to put all of our forces into the west. There was a lot of unrest in the country. People were poor and starving. We have launched unrestricted submarine warfare. This will throw America for a loop. There is no way for a ship to tell if we are coming. We did sink the Lusitania and is causing America to join the war with the allies. It will make it harder to fight but we will be able to get through it. I do not want America to join the war and nor should they. We are obviously going to beat them with our u-boats. Even with their fresh-faced army, they stand no chance! Europe has changed a lot through the war. Everyone is worn out and ready for the war to end. No one seems sure why the war is still going. The Germans have the will power to keep going.
ReplyDeleteI personally am not affected by the war. My family is safe and we still live wonderfully. The German papers are saying that we are winning the war. The women are doing men’s jobs. It is completely insane but we need the work to get done in any way possible. Thank God they are not growing mustaches. Citizens are giving up everything for the war. They have minimal stuff. The people will be able to get through it if it means winning the war! Luckily my family and I do not have this problem. I have enough money saved up to last us weeks. We will be perfectly fine. Life will be even better when Germany wins the war!
How could you think that Germany is going to win?! It's very clear that Italy is going to be the country that comes out on top. We have the best food and the best allies in the entire world. All Germany is, is a bunch of cowards! Your country kills innocent people for no reason by stabbing them right in their backs! So, I just want you to know the truth, Italy is going to win.
DeleteIt is true thank god they are not growing mustaches then you really would have been in some trouble! Good posts.
DeleteWhile all your points are valid, your forgetting the fact that us Germans basically have the strongest army. With Russia out of the way it will be far easier to direct our troops to one front rather than fighting two and it will be even easier for us to win!!!!!! Plus our U-boats are the sneakiest vessels in the ocean and only Germany has them. Plus there cool.
DeleteHello, it’s Camelia again and the war is about to end! What happened was Italy switched sides to the allies because they wanted to gain land from Austria- Hungary. Italy wouldn’t be able to gain land if they were fighting with Austria- Hungary so, they had to switch sides in order to gain the land that they needed. Also, Russia pulled out of the war due to unrest in the country and poor leadership. The citizens of Russia were poor and did not have food and they were fed up with the war. Vladimir Lenin took over the Russian government promising peace, bread, and land. Russia gave up 25% of their land and population in order to leave the war. Also, Germany has launched unrestricted submarine war fare hoping to dominate the war over the seas. This led to the Americans joining the war. With their help we will be able to easily defeat the Germans. Italy is definitely going to win this, I don’t know why other countries even think that they have a chance.
ReplyDeleteIt does not matter who joins the war and who leaves because Italy will always come up on top. We have the best food to feed our troops so they fight with the most passion and strength. We have the best of everything and will achieve our goal of taking land from Austria-Hungary at any cost. The people of Italy want that land just as much as the government, so nothing will hold us back. With the help of the allies we can accomplish anything. Italy may be having a bad time right now, losing land and everything, but honestly, Italy will be able to turn everything around very soon. When things are bad, Italy always finds a way to turn the situation around for their own gain. So there is no doubt in my mind that Italy will not be coming out on top at the end of this war. It’s all about to end and the war is going to be over and I really can’t wait to prove everyone wrong when Italy wins. As soon as Italy wins the war I’m going to celebrate by eating our delicious spaghetti and meatballs with my fellow Italian nationalists! Go Italy!!
Haha, while the Germans and British are eating biscuits in the trenches the Italian are having plate after plate of spaghetti! maybe this is why they didn't do so well?!
DeleteI agree with you, Camelia! Italy is definitely going to make a huge come back in this war. I think we need to get some of your great meatballs out to the front lines, so they will win the war quickly and come home for some more food.
DeleteHello this is Agapito. What happened all of a sudden? We are losing the great war. I thought we are winning or at least this is what all the signs say around Florence. But then again why would they need troops if you were winning . We are losing land by the second now. Personally I am thinking about joining the Army just to preserve what Garibaldi left for us. And also my book will go off the shelves if they're not enough Italians too buy it. I have also recently heard about America joining the war to end all wars. What was Germany thinking trying to tell Mexico and Japan to attack America to distract them, and on top of that they announced unrestricted submarine warfare which means that they will just shoot down any non-German boat they see. How dumb are they really?!? Once America joins the war anyway in six months because of their democratic government they will put a big spin on the war. No one will beat them except for us and only us. Especially when I join the war we will be unstoppable. Until next time. This may be my last entry.
ReplyDeleteHello again my fellow Germans it is Andreas Smith posting again from Dresden, Germany. A country that was just a couple weeks ago was overjoyed with nationalism is now sullen and depressed. I can’t believe we have lost the war because the government censored the factual reports of the battles of the Great War. We are not at the mercy of the pathetic French and British people who will decide the central powers’ punishment.
ReplyDeleteOn the positive side the war is finally over and my boys are home safe and sound. Also the world has finally realized the horrors of war and how bad war can be on the young people fighting in it. I think we will still remain a powerful nation after this because we almost beat the allies basically single handedly. I’m proud for my boys because they fought hard and rose through the ranks rather quickly. I am so happy that no war like this will never occur within the next 30 or so years.
Until next time Andreas Smith
Hello my enemies and German friends t is Konrad Lutz again from Berlin, Germany. Our country that seemed to be winning the war a few weeks ago is now being notified that we are almost losing. Since the government censored the reports of the battles of the war, we always thought we were winning. I don't get how we can lose if no one has step one foot into our country. Our country must put everything they got into these last few wars or it's going to be over for Germany. The only hope for this country to win is that America must take a long time to come over to Europe to fight this war. If that happens we might be able to defeat the French and British so we don't have to do what they say IF they win.
ReplyDeleteHowever, since the war is finally practically over, my family and I can now not worry about any country coming into Germany to kill us all. I hope other countries have realized what war can do and understand that it isn't necessary to go to war over a simple thing. Germany must try to remain a powerful nation after this because we almost won this war ourselves after all of our allies left. I’m proud of my country and our people for the hard work they have done and there is still no doubt that Germany is the best country in Europe. Hoorah!
Ryan Gray (Kivan) here again, this frickin war is almost done!!! Me and all my Jewish friends were talking about how relieved we are that are children will be returning home soon at the gym. The war is still not over yet however. Now that Russia has stepped out of the war it will be much easier for Germany to advance into Gosh Damn France and bang on them!!!! Thanks Russia! But there is one minor setback. America just joined the war and is siding with the Allies. This blows, America didn’t have any business in this war! I feel that the only reason they joined at all was due to us using our U-boats. We took out one of their commercial ships by accident once….or maybe twice, but is that a real reason to enter the war? I mean it was an accident rite? Damn America….
ReplyDeleteLife back here is going fairly smoothly for me and my wife, but food is getting more and more difficult to get due to the fact that we’re giving it all to the troops. I can’t really complain though, we have plenty amounts of food here at the moment but things are definitely changing. Me and my wife, Gretchen Weiner, are beginning to worry about our boys though. Its very nerve racking being the father of a solider. Well time to go back to the gym and do trap workouts with all my Jewish friends.
Oh a trap workout right now sounds fantastic. And i wish America didn't enter the war. It was not they're battle to fight. Like totally man, the sinking of that ship was an accident. Not something for them to get all worked up about.
DeleteYour wife is from Mean Girls?
DeleteJust throwing this out there, but we got RIPED OFF. This treaty is ridiculous! Most of our country didn’t even know that we were losing the war, and now look at this crap! Now we have no air force, little navy and little army. What if we get attacked!? For the safety of my kids, we should be getting more than this. Another thing that bothers me is this ridiculous notion that we can’t be at the peace table. We were assured a spot, but I mean I guess changing our entire country isn’t enough. Might I add that this new government stinks. I mean a democracy really? Why are we getting forced to do this, when we were fine? In my opinion, this “peace table” should focus on Russia who are COMMUNISTS JUST SAYING.
ReplyDeleteOkay that was slightly uncalled for. However the repercussions of this treaty are outlandish. All these jobs gone to waste. My son could have been a pilot, or a naval officer. Now, that opportunity was stolen from him. His childhood might also be effected, because of the heavy debt we are now in. We paid billions for this war, and now we have to pay billions more. That guy Wilson lied to us. We could have fought farther, but his 14 point peace plan seemed good. Little to know he tricked us, the sneaky punk. Well now it is time to make do with what little is left of our great Germany.

you totally did get Riped off, just like a ripe piece of fruit.
DeleteJames Collins here again. I am absolutely shocked that America has joined the war. Last time I checked, I didn’t see any German soldiers marching through our country! All I see now are these ridiculous propaganda posters, “Join the war!” and “Save wheat for the soldiers, eat corn!” As if I’m going to listen to a stupid poster. Sure, people could argue that America is endangered because of Germany’s new unrestricted submarine warfare declaration and rumors about the Zimmerman telegram are startling, but that is no reason to get involved. If it really is the war to end all wars, I would like to stay as far out of it as possible.
ReplyDeletePresident Wilson is a liar. I wish I could go back in time and re-vote because I never would have voted for Wilson if I had known that he would lead us into war. All I want is peace, and I thought Wilson could have brought us that. Now I have to worry about my son joining the army! My wife has had to get a job in a factory producing bullets because of the war. All of you French and British people better be grateful for America’s help, because we sure didn’t have to give it.
The war is almost at an end! We (Italy) ended up switching to the best side in the end. Well, actually, any side with Italy on it is bound to be the better side. We decided that we wanted to gain land from Austria-Hungary, so we couldn’t be fighting them at the same time! The Germans have basically everything pertaining to the war, and all the faults of the war are blamed on them as well. The Russians have given up a lot to leave the war. I guess they were just sick of fighting, and you know, having Italy beat them. Just kidding, we really didn’t deal with much of the Russia problem.
ReplyDeleteAs nobody seems to appreciate us that much, I thought I should bring up the topic of women at war. My friend, Maria, just came back from being a nurse at war. She told me all about her experiences. She said that all the women that served with her worked very hard, but were barely noticed, never mind thanked by the men serving. Some women cooked, or made sure the supplies were ready for use from the men. The nurses worked long hours, near the front lines, in the same bad conditions as the men fighting. Lots of us women at home have had to take over our husband’s job if the go to war. I have been lucky enough to have my husband not get picked for war. I bet after the war, men will come home, expecting their jobs back, and their wife back in the kitchen. Let’s just see what happens then.
Great idea bringing up the women and their role in the war!
DeleteYes! America is in the war! Finally, we’re in it and we are going to end this nonsense. First, the Germans sent a telegram to Mexico and Japan to take over America…..no. Don’t think you’re going to do that and not get a smack in the face for it. The stupid Germans don’t stand a chance against us. They launched an unrestricted submarine warfare, which means our ships can’t be protected in the war zone. Those were the two main reasons why America entered the war. I’ve been waiting for this since the war started! Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and America are going to finish this. We allies are strong enough to defeat the central powers.
ReplyDeleteOur President Wilson, wanted to keep peace and not go to war. Well, that didn’t work out…. Germany provoked us into the war. When Russia signed the treaty of its Brest-Litovsk, it created a one-front war for Britain which means Britain will have an easier chance of winning and finishing the war.
The war is finally coming to an end! As much as I was excited for it, I just want it to end so that I can relax and enjoy some crumpets and tea. America has made the right decision to join. Those silly Germans think they can win before America reaches Europe, but we will not let that happen. America’s army and our army will create an unbeatable force that will crush the Germans. There’s no way that I will allow my navy and my country to lose to such a horrible and disgusting country. They may be ahead now, but we WILL defeat them. Russia left the war, which doesn’t really affect us at all. Although they had one of the largest armies, they were weak and were never a threat to us. I’m not surprised that they surrendered. It’s better that they gave up now than they lose the war.
ReplyDeleteThe propaganda for this war has been absolutely ridiculous. I’ve heard of so many posters of people urging us to join the war. As much as I like that they’re portraying the Germans as horrible and us as amazing (which is true), I feel horrible for tricking these men into thinking that fighting in the war is a great thing. I was so excited for this war to start, but I just want it to be over. Yes, I am still a strong and incredibly brave human, but even men this great need to relax for a while. No matter how tired I am of this war, I will never give up on my country. We will win this for Britain, and that is a promise.
Never give up on Britain or tea and crumpets for that matter.
DeleteAdolf Hitler here once again! I have a lot to say. So, the war is coming to an end, and it seems Germany is going to lose. Everyone has pulled out and left us alone to be taken over by the rest of the world that we have to fight by ourselves. About 6 months ago it seemed that we were killing everyone and that we were winning but I guess that’s not the case anymore. This still seems strange because during the entire war, I have not seen one soldier from any other country on this planet on German soil. I’ve been hearing that Germany has stopped all fighting and had to do things that the Americans told us to do. I’ve also heard that after all of this we still didn’t get what we were promised such as a seat at the Peace Table, and we also are getting everything taken away from us. This is very unfair! Us Germans weren’t even the cause of this entire war and now we are getting blamed for it all, only because we were the last, and strongest country left at the end.
ReplyDeleteWe now barely have an army, and we are a completely different country all because of this Wilson guy. The things I would do to him if I could. I can’t believe that the strongest county in the world is being told what to do and we are listening and obeying the enemy and all for what? They clearly lied to us because we have been promised so much, yet have been let down 100% of the time. Sincerely an angry Adolf Hitler

ReplyDeleteBonjour bonjour, it is I, Natalie Bernard. I’m back again! I’ve come to talk about the toll that this horrible war has taken on my beloved country of France. I still think that France is the most majestic and superior country out of all the countries in the world but the effects of the war certainly have shown. The effects of the war have not only shown in France but all throughout Europe too! At the beginning of the war everyone in Europe was so eager and ready to get out and fight, all the talk of the war was making them anxious. So when everyone first got out to fight the war was great. But soon the war really started to kick in. The war progressed on and everyone, in the war and back home, became miserable.
Now everyone can feel the war coming to an end. They can feel it simmering down. America has finally entered and slowly countries are being picked off. Germany is one of the last countries standing and they are putting out a valiant effort to win this. All they are hanging on is a sliver of hope that America will get put off and arrive to Europe late but I believe that America are going to mobilize fast and Germany has a small chance of actually winning this. However they were offered a seat at the peace table if they resign and follow some simple steps. I assume that Germany will do this because otherwise they will not have a seat at the peace table and Germany really wants that.
