FIRST WORLD WAR AND ITS CONSEQUENCES Cd-Rom
Recommended by Library Journal and MC Journal: The Journal of Academic Media Librarianship.
This is a complete survey of World War I on CD-ROM Period photographs, newsreel footage, maps, diagrams, personal accounts, artists' renderings, and other documents trace the roots of the conflict from the unification of Germany in the late 1800s to the 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Historical research paths uncover military tactics that led to the stalemate on the western front. Eyewitness accounts tell of life in the trenches, civilian life in wartime, the role played by early fighter pilots, and how the medical corps coped with massive casualties. Students can investigate the war on the eastern front, the events that prompted America's entry into the conflict, and trace the rise of Adolf Hitler through the feeble years of the post-war Weimar Republic. Students examine and analyze original source material by accessing the PictureBase database through keyword searches. Pictures and key documents are accompanied by descriptive text; sound files provide personal reminiscences of those who lived through the events described. Teachers are able to customize the program by adding their own text and specific keyword trails. Can be used with both Windows and Macintosh.
