Gallipoli, Death and Destruction!!
After watching the trailer from Gallipoli, i saw many unpleasant things. The number of casualties in Gallipoli was staggering. From death to destruction everywhere. Being a WWI soldier was not a simple task, knowing you are always at risk is not easy. A soldier must also be afraid of what may always happen next. From the trailer of Gallipoli, there are scenes that show why there were a high number of casualties in this war. In the video I saw a cemetery with numerous amounts of crosses that says that the number of deaths was significantly high. Also I saw many soldiers dead or injured.There is also a scene with massive artillery such as guns and cannons as well as barbed wires and fires. In the trailer the terrain also led to big factor in not helping the British out, because it made it difficult for the British to maneuver and provide enough supplies for their troops to survive and work efficiently. Apparent throughout the whole trailer were the machine guns, and that scene were soldiers marched with the guns above there shoulder were they would smile was astonishing. The number of soldiers enlisted to fight during war was huge and that is why the number of casualties was at a high rate. Britain would experience diminished power around the world and power to sustain its own economy. There would be a lack of people able to work productively in any career. Another impact is the affect on economy and trading between countries. The number of casualties in WWI affected many countries around the world. How does a nation recover from this?
