Timeline Assignment

  • Technology of WW1 0

    Technology of WW1 0
    I think it is a neutral change because we were getting newer technology which is good. But it also led to worse things like using the newer stuff during the war, stuff like poison gas. This also led to more fighting.
  • Battle of ypres -2

    Battle of ypres   -2
    This is very negative because many people died and it even led to another battle of ypres. It was also one of the first battles of WW1. This was all because the British wanted to secure the English channel ports and the British army's supply lines.
  • Start of WW1 -2

    Start of WW1 -2
    This is a huge decrease because it was the start of a world war that lasted almost 4 years. And many people would be losing their lives because a young Serbian patriot shot and killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
  • Battle of somme -2

    Battle of somme -2
    This is a major decline because Germany sent a week-long artillery bombardment of the German lines. Advancing British troops found the German defenses. They suffered very high casualties with little progress.
  • End of WW1 -1

    End of WW1 -1
    I think it is a slight decline because many people died during the war, it involved many countries and it just led to another world war. It isn't the biggest decline because the first world war was over.
  • Spanish flu -2

    Spanish flu -2
    This was very negative because an estimated 500 million people died because of the Spanish flu. Another reason this was very negative is they didn't have a vaccine so people had to isolate, quarantine, and limit the number of public gatherings. Kind of like what we are doing during the Covid-19 pandemic.
  • Clothing trend changes +2/

    Clothing trend changes +2/
    I think this was a positive trend because it was a nice and different change. They changed their style along with their personalities after WW1. I think they did this because they realized fighting is bad and they wanted to remake themselves.
  • Oka crisis -1

    Oka crisis -1
    I think this is a slight decline because it didn't last for long. Another reason it is only a slight decline is they were fighting over an expansion of a golf course.
  • The end of residential schools +2

    The end of residential schools +2
    This is an increase in change because many people were affected by residential schools being changed(not being able to speak their own language), seriously injured or even dying.
  • Canada international security +1

    Canada international security +1
    This is a slight increase because they adjusted very quickly after 9/11 so there would be less chance of something like that to happen again. Which is really good but people are less free in the airport now, instead of freely roaming around they have to wait in many lines.
