World War I Unit and the HSCE's
7.1.2 Comparative Global Power – Use historical and modern maps and other sources to analyze and explain the changes in the global balance of military, political, and economic power between 1900 and 1945 (including the changing role of the United States and those resisting foreign domination).
7.1.4 Global Technology – Describe significant technological innovations and scientific breakthroughs in transportation, communication, medicine, and warfare and analyze how they both benefited and imperiled humanity.
7.1.5 Total War – Compare and contrast modern warfare and its resolution with warfare in the previous eras; include analysis of the role of technology and civilians.
7.2.1 World War I – Analyze the causes, characteristics, and long-term consequences of World War I by • analyzing the causes of the war including nationalism, industrialization, disputes over territory, systems of alliances, imperialism, and militarism • analyzing the distinctive characteristics and impacts of the war on the soldiers and people at home (See 7.1.5) • explaining the major decisions made in the Versailles Treaty and analyzing its spatial and political consequences, including the mandate system, reparations, and national self-determination around the globe
