Eyewitness to History
This is by far my favorite website
on all of World War One and most possibly my favorite history site I have ever
seen. The main part of this site provides eyewitness reports to different
important events of the different periods in time. This site contains
eyewitness reports to different times such as both world wars, the ancient
world, the middle ages and renaissance, and the different centuries leading up
to present day. In the page made for World War One there are many fascinating
eyewitness reports that have truly intrigued me such as the many assassinations
and murders of the time. The assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand is
well known to be one of the main reasons for World War One starting and the
eyewitness report on his assassination brings a lot of insight that I had never
thought of before. The page also
provides the reader with pictures of the fateful day of his death and these
pictures were quite fascinating. This page gives you the information in a
couple different perspectives which is always a good way of learning when you
look at a moment in history from different standpoints. I believe this site is
very credible and if you ever want a great site to view I
highly suggest this one.

World War I
I believe that this site is a great
one because it provides you with links to many sites on every aspect of the
First World War. It is also set out in an interesting format. The site is in paragraphs
talking about the war and giving different interesting facts and information on
the war. Then along throughout the paragraphs different important words are
highlighted and these highlighted words are links to other pages. The words
that are highlighted are things like names of particular battles or people,
also there are many pages on interesting things such as recollections of the
war and panoramas of trench life. This site really brings pictures to mind that
help to make the war more personal and real to the present day person. The
different paragraphs are also separated into different sections such as The
Great War, Campaigns and Battles, The World at War, The Social Impact of War,
Debates, and World War One in Context, Your History, The War in Headlines, and
the History Trail. There is even a page for children titled World War I:
Curriculum Bites. One of my particular favorites of the smaller pages would
have to be the page on the First Shot. I learned that the first shot of World
War I took place on

enjoyed was this quote from Max Plowman from Subaltern on the
