I'm studying it, and spent the weekend going round the graves
. Year 9 exams don't really matter if you're not taking the subject.
Basically, WWI started when Franz Ferdinand got killed by a Serbian (not sure of the date). There were two alliances, Britain was in one, and Germany was in the other. Britain teamed up with France and the Ottoman Empire, and I'm not sure of who Germany was with, we learned this in September lol.
The treaty of Versailles was a way of getting Germany to pay back for their actions at the end of WWI. They had to pay £6.6 million (might be $), give away land to France and other countries, they had to limit their army (their navy had something like 6 ships left, Britain destroyed these, had to take 100% responsibility for everything in the war and they could only have enough soldiers to defend them, somewhere around 100,000)
The leaders were Woodrow Wilson (USA) George Clemenceau (France) and David Lloyd George.
That's it off the top of my head lol, you might want to check out dates involved.
If you want anything else explained, feel free to ask. I studied most of this before Christmas so I might not know a bit of stuff
Qwerty
