to force men to “do their bit.”

BATTLE BREAKDOWN
The terrors of the trenches left some
soldiers quivering and incapacitated.
Gradually shell shock came to be
recognized not as cowardice but as a
mental illness.
HOW THE WAR WAS WON
After years of stalemate on the
Western Front, the Allies used a
combination of new tactics and
technologies to achieve victory.
COMING UP IN
CANADA’S HISTORY

When war broke out
between Britain and France,

hire — otherwise known as
privateers — to prey on each
other’s shipping.

athletics to relieve soldiers’ stress.
