Ans 1. "Smoking gun" refers to a revolver used by a Serbian nationalist to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
Ans 2. Nine million people had died during WWI.
Ans 3. Industrial expansion and wealth, both personal and national, had a profound impact on economic life.
Ans 4. Schlieffen Plan was a long established war strategy. The plan required precise timing, with no interruptions in the timetable -- its first objective was to capture Paris in precisely 42 days, and force the French to surrender.
Ans 5. It was a "total war" because both sides targeted both civilians and military personnel, and mobilized men and resources at an unprecedented rate.
Ans 6. Russian front line soldiers grew increasingly disillusioned and apathetic. Many refused to obey orders, retreating when commanded to advance; they deserted the military and engage in open rebellion and mass mutiny.
Ans 7. Vera Brittain became involved in the "total war" because her brother Edward and their close friends were killed in the war. Kande Kamara was involved in the "total war" because he was African and a lot of Africans were killed in the war but Kamara survived the war and returned home.
Ans 8. The Treaty of Versailles was signed June 28, 1919, but it was not effective. Instead, it led to the WWII just one generation later.

As the months passed, however, people on both sides of the conflict began to question the violence and massive slaughter.
