This is Terrance T. from Mr. Sal’s 9th Period 20th Century Class. We played a game to represent the countries of the first World War and were given the continents to play for. We were the the country of Great Britain and we fought valiantly although in the end we had to throw the white flag and give in to defeat.

During the game we were given things called economic points which let us gain imaginary money. We used the imaginary money to buy and assortment of things from navy to colonies too but focused more on navy because it doubled and gave us more power.

With the power we gained as Great Britain, we (as called by the class) went power hungry and attacked people with the combine power of our allied nations. We made treaties with the USA, Australia-Hungary, and although short lived we had a treaty with Germany. In the end Germany ripped up our treaty and attacked us. We lost and but for the most part we gave up.

The outcome of the entire event was we gave up, very simple. The remaining countries stayed allied and literary annihilated the other classes. The allied countries added up close to 1000 navy ,which was power in the game,and left the other classes with no hope at all, but there were some changes in our class that were different from all the others.

One major change in our class was that we simply gave up and didn’t go to war. We gave whatever country we liked all our money, navy, colonies….etc. It was this change that gave our class the victory in the game and in the war.

To my understanding we basically played the parts of the countries who were at war. We got to see just how too much power or not enough power could lead to war and better yet chaos. In the end we learned how its too easy for war to start…
