happened to at least Explain how and
one country as a why one country Explain which country
result of WWI suffered as a result suffered more than the
of WWI using the others by making use of
clear evidence and by
evidence to support making clear and
relevant comparisons
with one or more of the
other countries.
In these lessons we are learning to…

• Describe specific examples of things that happened to


Germany as a consequence of WWI

• Explain why Germany was treated harshly in the Treaty of


Versailles

• Evaluate the terms of the Treaty of Versailles to make a


judgement about which would have caused most anger in
Germany after WWI

We will return to these later in today’s


lessons to help you to self-assess your
learning
Background lesson 1:
The Great Suffering of WWI
1: How did WWI
affect those countries 2. After compiling your
involved? research evidence you have
10 minutes to prepare an
answer to the key question.

Germany
Skill: Selecting relevant evidence

Stage 1: Information gathering (20 mins)

• There are descriptions of how 5 countries


suffered as a result of being involved in the war.
• Write each country’s name as a sub-heading
• Then make at least 3 bullet point notes of each
example you can see of how that country
suffered, e.g “More than two million people
were made homeless in France”.
Stage 2: Writing the answer to the question
(25-30 mins)

Once you have collected your evidence together


you should look to answer the question, making
clear and precise use of the key information to
help to support your opinion.
After you have completed your answer you will
then be given some time to peer assess based
on the level descriptors.
In your opinion, which country suffered most from the four
years of war from 1914-1918? Use the evidence and your
knowledge to explain your answer.

One way ________ suffered was…


P _________ suffered greatly from the First
World War…

Handy Hints For Success!!
You should consider the following issues to help you to reach your opinion on which
country you think suffered the most from WWI, as well as using the keywords section
and level descriptors: 
• Which countries had enemy soldiers on
their soil?
• Which countries suffered damage to
buildings, communications and
farmland?
• Which countries lost the most soldiers
in the war?
• In which countries did civilians suffer
during the war? 
Peer Assessment
Questions to ask yourself
• Does the answer address the question?
• Are there clear examples (e.g. numbers, types of
places/people who suffered)?
• Is there a link/comparison with another country
to show that the country they chose suffered
more than another country in that aspect?
• Has criteria been applied to the answer?
• Have they given at least 2 (ideally 3) key
reasons?
Why did we find out about the
consequences of WWI?

• Why do you think I included this as the first


lesson?
• How do you think it will feed in to our future
lessons?
• Can you predict what issues the end of WWI
(and the events of WWI) might cause in terms
of international relations?
