WW1

Hey everyone,

I'm going to share some information I learnt about WW1. We have been recently learning about WW1, we did a lot of research. There are some questions that needed to be answered by us. Here is my work: 

Q1: 

1. How did WW1 help to shape our identity as ‘New Zealanders’ or “Kiwi”?

2. How did New Zealand change with so many men away at war between 1914-1918?

3. What new jobs did women do?

4. Did schooling change due to the war?

5. How were families affected by WW1?

6. How do we remember our soldiers that died and were buried overseas? 

7. What symbols of WW1 are commonly seen today?

A1: 

1. WW1 helped to shape our identity as “Kiwi” because of those New Zealanders who fought in the war, those people who died in the war are heroes because they were tough. 

2.  Womens were usually tired because they did the work that men should be doing.

3. New jobs that women in New Zealand did during WW1 are nurse, munition factory workers, sewing bandages, selling war-bonds-, women truck drivers, shipyards and spies. There’s also a Royal Air Force, it was created during this time where women worked on planes as mechanics. 

4. During WW1, schooling did change because of the school buildings damages. WW1 had a devastating effect on education, dropout has become common, teacher’s stopped teaching due to WW1. 

5. WW1 had a major effect on the family. This put a great deal of weight upon the more established  youngsters in the family as they needed to deal with the family unit obligations and any more youthful kids. Huge numbers of the ones who returned from the War were experiencing genuine wounds, the impacts of Mustard Gas r potentially shell stun. 

6. We remembered because of ANZAC day, ANZAC day is a remembrance of those New Zealanders who fought and died in the war. 

7.  Symbols of WW1 is the poppy to remember the WW1 history-

A2:

New Zealand chose to send warriors to battle in the battle for various reasons, including New Zealand's solid connections to Britain and its anxiety with keeping shipping lanes open so it could keep on trading to Britain. Inside a month New Zealand troops had involved Western Samoa, which was a German region.

2. During the war, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire (the Central Powers) battled against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan and the United States (the Allied Powers).

3. Anzac came to represent the positive characteristics which Australians have seen their powers show in war. These characteristics are commonly acknowledged to incorporate perseverance,courgagness, good humour, pleasantness, and mateship.

4. The United States confronted numerous issues following World War I, remembering for the territories of race relations, work, and political radicalism.

5. Most of the battling occurred in Europe along two fronts: the western front and the eastern front. The western front was a long line of trenches that ran from the shoreline of Belgium to Switzerland. A ton of the fighting along this front occurred in France and Belgium.

6. They possessed a ton of hurt and enduring: tetraplegics, paraplegics, numerous removals, destroyed lungs and visual impairment (blindness).

7. It started after the securities exchange crash of October 1929, which sent Wall Street into a frenzy and cleared out a huge number of speculators. 

8. Baseball was not the only game appreciated and influenced during the Depression.

*Create a DLO to teach others about NZ women in WW1*

A3:

1. The most common role for the women in New Zealand before WW1 is staying at home, doing household chores and looking after their children(s) (If they have one).

2. Women needed to work because they were running out of resources during WW1.

3. New jobs that women in New Zealand did during WW1 are nurse, munition factory workers, sewing bandages, selling war-bonds-, women truck drivers, shipyards and spies. There’s also a Royal Air Force, it was created during this time where women worked on planes as mechanics. 

4. A munition factory is where the military weapons are, their equipment. In munition factories, they make shells and bullets for the war. 

5. They didn’t get paid the same amount of men because for them, men’s work is harder than womens. 

How did WW1 impact women in New Zealand? 

During that hard time, WW1 impacted a lot for those New Zealander women. That time, it really proves that women are strong. Before WW1, their (womens) abilities were underestimated by plenty of stereotypes. Strength that they have but doesn’t show, and it just proves that they are able to do whatever mens can do, their capabilities of doing something. WW1 helped women in New Zealand to show what they are capable of doing. Mens in WW1 were a part of the war, so then women had to do jobs/tasks that are normally assigned for men.
