Directions: Understanding the main chain events of the first World War, is critical

to understanding any events after. Make a flow chart using the Weebly site, of
World War I from start to end of the war. Each connection should show events that
transpired into another. Add sufficient detail to each fact bubble, the greater in
depth, (without rambling on), grade will reflect based on work. Be creative when
creating the flow chart, there are not rules on what the shapes need to be. Or on
style to follow. As long as the flow chart meets the grading criteria.
