Wilson's Fourteen points

Before war would finished, Woodrow Wilson had written a text with 14 points in order to obtain a long-lasting peace. He did not want another global war and he thought that this plan could stop another dipute.

The 14 points were:

1. No more secret agreements.

2. Free navigation of all seas.

3. An end to all economic barriers between countries.

4. Countries to reduce weapon numbers.

5. All decisions regarding the colonies should be impartial

6. The German Army is to be removed from Russia. Russia should be left to develop her own political set-up.

7. Belgium should be independent like before the war.

8. France should be fully liberated and allowed to recover Alsace-Lorraine

9. All Italians are to be allowed to live in Italy. Italy's borders are to be "along clearly recognisable lines of nationality."

10. Self-determination should be allowed for all those living in Austria-Hungary.

11. Self-determination and guarantees of independence should be allowed for the Balkan       states.

12. The Turkish people should be governed by the Turkish government. Non-Turks in the old Turkish Empire should govern themselves.

13. An independent Poland should be created which should have access to the sea.

14. A League of Nations should be set up to guarantee the political and territorial independence of all states.

The Battle of Jutland

In 1916 spring, an important battle took part between British and German. After many years of an arm race (a hidden war) the time to confront their forces had came. This is the first and most important naval battle from the Great War. They used many war boats, but the war was definitily decided by their submarines. This war was won for a small advantage by the German's troops.

The Schlieffen Plan

As soon as war was declared, Germany's Schlieffen Plan went into operation. The Schlieffen Plan was simply but risk: German government sent German forces through Belgium to knock France out of the war quickly.

The theory was that Russia would take a long time to mobilise its troops, so they had to try to get Paris and defeat France within six weeks.

At first, it looked as they had planned, even France had to move their government away from Paris to Bordeaux. However, France could position ther troops around Marne river. German chief major, Von Moltke, thinking that it would be an easier victory, decided to envy some troops division to the Eastern front. 

French chief major, Joffre, took advantage of that decision and they cought Germans by surprise and obligated them to retire; however they could stablished the front. Marne's battle emphasized that German plan had failed.

Latitude and Longitude

Latitude and longitude indicate geographical coordinates: the exact location of a place on the Earth.

Latitude is measured by using the parallels which start at the equator (0º). At the poles they are 90º. They are north (N) or South (S) depending on whether they are located in the northern or southern hemisphere. All locations on a line have the same latitude.

Longitude is measured by using the meridians which start at the prime meridian (0º). They run vertically from 0º to 180º to the West (W), and 0º to 180º to the east (E). All locations on a line have the same longitude.

The combination of latitude and longitude gives us the geographical coordinates of a place.

Meridians and parallels

Meridians and parallels are a series of imaginary vertical and horizontal lines enables us to identify the exact location of places on Earth.

- MERIDIANS

Meridians are semicircles which go from one pole to the other. The prime or Greenwich meridian (0º) is the point of reference for other meridians. Greenwich meridian divides the Earth into two hemispheres: the western and the eastern hemisphere.

- PARALLELS

Parallels are circles which are perpendicular to the meridians. The Equator (0º) is the most important parallel because it divides the Earth into two hemispheres: the northern and the southern hemisphere.
