World War Report

 I had some amazing experience in Europe. I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to Europe and witness the great war in action. During my travels I was able to understand some things about the way the war is fought, and also about the way Europeans live their lives. The British Soldiers trained locally instead of nationally. The British came into the war thinking that Calvary warfare was the best option. But they did not anticipate the effectiveness of the machine gun, which annihilated the horses. The British had an age requirement that did not allow boys under 19 to enlist. while the Germans allowed much younger boys to join. Being a soldier brought honor to the families. Soldiers that abandoned ranks were accused of mutiny. They were then executed. The lives of the soldiers during the war was very harsh and they had to go through a lot.
