Ferdinand.

E. Trench warfare, because it was so deadly, was outlawed in future warfare at the

Paris Peace Convention.

F. WWI permanently brought the U.S. out of isolation, deeply involving it in future

global matters, like WWII.

2. Part B: Which TWO of the following quotes best support the answer to Part A?

A. “A history-making diplomat as well as a historian, Kissinger concluded that no

country can be singled out, because ‘[e]ach of the major powers contributed a

quota of shortsightedness and irresponsibility’” (Paragraph 2)

B. “World War I (1914-1918) — which claimed 32 million military and civilian

casualties, impoverished Europe, destroyed three empires, and set the stage for

an even more savage World War II — had many roots.” (Paragraph 3)

C. “on June 28, 1914, a radical Serbian nationalist tossed a burning match by

assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of yet another

European superpower, the Austro-Hungarian empire of the Habsburg

monarchy.” (Paragraph 7)

D. “What followed was a massacre that lasted an interminable four years, three

months, and eventually brought into the maelstrom two million American

‘doughboys.’” (Paragraph 16)

E. The heaviest and eventually decisive fighting was done on the Western front,

where French, British and eventually, American soldiers were locked in a

remorseless trench warfare with von Schlieffen’s army.” (Paragraph 18)

F. “in March 1917, President Woodrow Wilson had responded to the outrageous

sinking of four American ships by German submarines by abandoning the U.S.

policy of neutrality.” (Paragraph 21)

3. Why did the author most likely italicize the phrase “for any reason whatever” in Paragraph

4?

A. to emphasize that almost anything would provoke the allies to fight, and war

was basically inevitable

B. to propose the idea that the allied countries were eager to fight, regardless of

whom or what they would fight

C. to stress France’s and Russia’s militaristic mindsets and superiority at the time

D. to clarify that the alliance was actually very general and loose, not as binding as

it would later seem

4. PART A: What does the word “hazardous” most likely mean as used in paragraph 4?

A. unnecessary

B. risky

C. violent

D. preventative

5. PART B: Which of the following phrases best supports the answer to Part A?

A. “Faced by the fast-growing German empire” (Paragraph 4)

B. “Desperate for allies” (Paragraph 4)

C. “agreed to mobilize their armies” (Paragraph 4)

D. “this hair-trigger arrangement” (Paragraph 4)

6. According to the text, how did the Central Powers, especially Germany, react to the United

States’ entrance into the war?

A. Given how late the U.S. entered the war, the Central Powers largely did not see

the U.S. as a threat.

B. American declaration of war (as well as failing allies) prompted Germany to

launch an all-out, final offensive.

C. Germany was blamed for the U.S. joining the Allied forces and was essentially

abandoned by the other Central Powers.

D. Knowing the U.S. would be fighting in the West, the Central Powers began

focusing on gaining land in the other two fronts.

7. Which of the following best describe how the Schlieffen Plan shaped the overall war?

A. The Schlieffen Plan forced both the Central and Allied Powers to fight on two

fronts, exhausting them (especially Germany) and expanding the reach of the

horrors of the war.

B. The Schlieffen Plan meant that France and Russia, the targets of the plan, were

the first to fall to the Central Powers’ control.

C. The Schlieffen Plan forced Germany to fight on both sides, meaning that this

country conquered more land than the Allied Powers combined.

D. The Schlieffen Plan was an overall failure and fell apart after the first major

battle; neither side had to fight on multiple fronts, as planned, from that point

on.

8. Which of the following best describes the major irony of the Paris Peace Conference?

A. It was entirely run by the leader of the country that fought the briefest in the

war.

B. The United States was given a very large role in the Peace Conference even

though they supported Germany for the first half of the war.

C. Though called a “peace conference,” it was formed — at least by the European

Allies — with the intent to punish more than to seek peace.

D. Though called a “peace conference,” it was formed to reassess and strengthen

the alliances that caused WWI in the first place.
