This seemingly small conflict between two countries spread rapidly: soon, Germany, Russia, Great Britain, and France were all drawn into the war, largely because they were involved in treaties that obligated them to defend certain other nations. Western and eastern fronts quickly opened along the borders of Germany and Austria-Hungary.

Assignment One

The "Understanding Games 1-4" was very interesting, @ 1st the games were boring & lifeless but on about Game 3 it became fun. I thought I wasn't gonna enjoy playing the games but they proved me totally wrong. My favorite games were the "Tag" game, & the "Space Invaders" game. Some of the games were brain teasers & made me think but I really liked the challenge, so it wasn't a problem. The characters were a little on the boring side, they had no special effects or anything.
In the "Tag" game one of the characters was a girl, and the other 3 were boys, I think that there should have been more female figures throughout the games. I did like the fact that all of the games had some kind of purpose, and was competitive. I will actually use some of there techniques from the games, because I liked most of them. All of the games had there own special purpose & meaning.
