Mental Health
“MENTAL HEALTH IS A STATE OF WELL-BEING IN WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL REALIZES HIS OR
HER OWN ABILITIES, CAN COPE WITH THE NORMAL STRESSES OF LIFE, CAN WORK
PRODUCTIVELY, AND IS ABLE TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO HIS OR HER COMMUNITY.”
Mental health can affect daily living, relationships, and physical health.
However, this link also works in the other direction. Factors in people’s
lives, interpersonal connections, and physical factors can all contribute
to mental health disruptions.
Looking after mental health can preserve a person’s ability to enjoy life.
Doing this involves reaching a balance between life activities,
responsibilities, and efforts to achieve psychological resilience.
Conditions such as stress, depression, and anxiety can all affect mental
health and disrupt a person’s routine. Although the term mental health is
in common use, many conditions that doctors recognize as psychological
disorders have physical roots.

MENTAL DISORDERS
Mental disorders (or mental illnesses) are conditions that affect
your thinking, feeling, mood, and behavior.They may be
occasional or long-lasting (chronic). They can affect your ability
to relate to others and function each day.
There is no single cause for mental illness. A number of factors can
contribute to risk for mental illness, such as:
Your genes and family history
Your life experiences, such as stress or a history of abuse,
especially if they happen in childhood
Biological factors such as chemical imbalances in the brain
A traumatic brain injury
A mother's exposure to viruses or toxic chemicals while
pregnant
Use of alcohol or recreational drugs
Having a serious medical condition like cancer
Having few friends, and feeling lonely or isolated

BIPOLAR DISORDER
Bipolar disorder (formerly called manic-depressive illness or manic depression) is a mental
disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, concentration, and the
ability to carry out day-to-day tasks.
There are three types of bipolar disorder. All three types involve clear changes in mood,
energy, and activity levels. These moods range from periods of extremely “up,” elated,
irritable, or energized behavior (known as manic episodes) to very “down,” sad, indifferent,
or hopeless periods (known as depressive episodes). Less severe manic periods are known as
hypomanic episodes.
Bipolar I Disorder— defined by manic episodes that last at least 7 days, or by manic
symptoms that are so severe that the person needs immediate hospital care.
Usually, depressive episodes occur as well, typically lasting at least 2 weeks.
Episodes of depression with mixed features (having depressive symptoms and
manic symptoms at the same time) are also possible.
Bipolar II Disorder— defined by a pattern of depressive episodes and hypomanic
episodes, but not the full-blown manic episodes that are typical of Bipolar I
Disorder.
Cyclothymic Disorder (also called Cyclothymia)— defined by periods of hypomanic
symptoms as well as periods of depressive symptoms lasting for at least 2 years (1
year in children and adolescents). However, the symptoms do not meet the
diagnostic requirements for a hypomanic episode and a depressive episode.
Bipolar disorder is typically diagnosed during late adolescence (teen years) or early
adulthood. Occasionally, bipolar symptoms can appear in children. Bipolar disorder
can also first appear during a woman’s pregnancy or following childbirth. Although
the symptoms may vary over time, bipolar disorder usually requires lifelong
treatment. Following a prescribed treatment plan can help people manage their
symptoms and improve their quality of life.

WORLD WAR I
WHO FOUGHT IN WORLD WAR I?
World War I was fought between the Allied Powers and the Central
Powers. The main members of the Allied Powers were France, Russia,
and Britain. The United States also fought on the side of the Allies after
1917. The main members of the Central Powers were Germany, Austria-
Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria.
Although there were a number of causes for the war, the assassination of
Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the main catalyst for starting
the war. After the assassination, Austria declared war on Serbia. Then
Russia prepared to defend its ally Serbia. Next, Germany declared war on
Russia to protect Austria. This caused France to declare war on Germany
to protect its ally Russia. Germany invaded Belgium to get to France
which caused Britain to declare war on Germany. This all happened in just
a few days.
WORLD WAR I
ALLIANCES AND POLITICS
In the years leading up to the war, the nations of Europe were constantly
jockeying for power and making alliances. Germany made an alliance with
Austria-Hungary and Italy in 1881. These countries all agreed to protect each
other in the event they were attacked by France. However, Italy then went and
made a secret alliance with France saying they would not aide Germany.
IMPERIALISM
Imperialism is when a country expands its influence and power into a large
empire. Some European countries, such as France and Britain, had created large
worldwide empires and had become very rich. Other European countries, such as
Russia and Germany, wanted to create their own vast empires. This caused
competition and conflict between many of the countries throughout the world.
WORLD WAR I
MORE DECLARATIONS OF WAR
Austria-Hungary had hoped they could quickly take over Serbia and that
Serbia's ally, Russia, would not risk a major war in order to help Serbia.
However, they figured wrong. Russia immediately began to mobilize its troops
and prepare for war. In response, Germany, Austria-Hungary's close ally,
declared war on Russia on August 1st. A few days later, Germany declared war
on France and invaded Belgium. Britain then declared war on Germany and
World War I had begun.
WORLD WAR I
ASSASSINATION OF ARCHDUKE FERDINAND
WHO WAS ARCHDUKE FERDINAND?
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was born in the city of Graz on December 18, 1863. After his
cousin and father died, he became the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary. His uncle,
Franz Joseph, was the current emperor of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. He was
married to Sophie, the Duchess of Hohenberg.
THE ASSASSINATION
On June 28, 1914 Franz Ferdinand and his wife were in the third car of a motorcade
traveling through Sarajevo to the Town Hall. The Black Hand had several assassins
positioned along the route.
On the way to the Town Hall, the first assassination attempt occurred. A man named
Nedeljko Cabrinovic threw a bomb into the car with the Archduke. However, the bomb
bounced off the car and landed under the next car in the motorcade. The car with the
Archduke was able to speed away and make it safely to the Town Hall.
The assassins did not give up, however. On the return trip, the motorcade took a wrong
turn. When the driver began to back up, another assassin named Gavrilo Princip
happened to be right next to the car. He took advantage of this opportunity and began
firing at the Archduke. He fired twice, hitting the Archduke once and his wife Sophie.
The crowd jumped on Princip and he was arrested by the police. At the same time the
car sped to the Governor's residence to get medical help. Unfortunately, Sophie was
dead before they arrived and the Archduke died a few minutes later.

TRENCH WARFARE
Trench warfare is a type of fighting where both sides build deep trenches as a
defense against the enemy. These trenches can stretch for many miles and make
it nearly impossible for one side to advance.
NO MAN'S LAND
The land between the two enemy trench lines
was called "No Man's Land." This land was
sometimes covered with barbed wire and land
mines. The enemy trenches were generally
around 50 to 250 yards apart.
The trenches weren't dug in one long straight line, but were built as more of a system of
trenches. They were dug in a zigzag pattern and there were many levels of trenches
along the lines with paths dug so soldiers could travel between the levels.

TRENCH WARFARE
LIFE IN THE TRENCHES
Soldiers generally rotated through three stages of the front. They
would spend some time in the front line trenches, some time in
the support trenches, and some time resting. They almost always
had some sort of job to do whether it was repairing the trenches,
guard duty, moving supplies, undergoing inspections, or cleaning
their weapons.
The weather also contributed to rough conditions in the trenches. Rain caused the
trenches to flood and get muddy. Mud could clog up weapons and make it hard to move
in battle. Also, the constant moisture could cause an infection called Trench Foot that, if
untreated, could become so bad that a soldier's feet would have to be amputated. Cold
weather was dangerous, too. Soldiers often lost fingers or toes to frostbite and some
died from exposure in the cold.
WORLD WAR I
CHANGES IN MODERN WARFARE
World War I introduced many advances in science and technology into modern
warfare. These advances changed the nature of warfare including battle strategies
and tactics. Scientists and inventors on both sides worked throughout the war to
improve weapon technology in order to give their side an edge in the fight.
The trenches weren't dug in one long straight line, but were built as more of a
system of trenches. They were dug in a zigzag pattern and there were many levels
of trenches along the lines with paths dug so soldiers could travel between the
levels.

NEW WEAPONS
Artillery: Large guns, called artillery, were improved
during World War I including anti-aircraft guns to shoot
down enemy planes. The majority of the casualties in the
war were inflicted using artillery. Some large artillery
guns could launch shells nearly 80 miles.
Machine gun: The machine gun was improved during the
war. It was made much lighter and easier to move
around.
Flame throwers: Flame throwers were used by the
German Army on the western front in order to force the
enemy out of their trenches.
Chemical weapons: World War I also introduced chemical
weapons to warfare. Germany first used chlorine gas to
poison unsuspecting Allied troops. Later, the more
dangerous mustard gas was developed and used by both
sides. By the end of the war, troops were equipped with
gas masks and the weapon was less effective.

WORLD WAR I
END OF WWI AND POST WAR
THE LAST BATTLES
In August of 1918, the Allied commanders on the western front decided to go
on the offensive. Starting on August 8th, a series of battles were fought
called the Hundred Days Offensive. These battles included the Battle of
Amiens, the Second Battle of the Somme, and several battles along
Germany's Hindenburg Line. The Germans were pushed out of France and
were forced to retreat back into Germany.
ARMISTICE
By the end of the Hundred Days Offensive, the German
forces were exhausted and running out of food and
supplies. On November 11, 1918 they requested an
armistice. An armistice is when both sides agree to stop
fighting while a peace treaty is negotiated. The Allies
agreed to the armistice and at 11 AM on November 11,
1918 the fighting in World War I came to an end.
TREATY NEGOTIATIONS
The Allied Nations met in Paris at the Paris Peace
Conference in 1919 to decide the fate of Germany and the
Central Powers. Although a number of nations took part in
the negotiations, the major decisions and discussions were
between the leaders of the "Big Four" nations which
included Georges Clemenceau (Prime Minister of France),
David Lloyd George (Prime Minister of Great Britain),
Woodrow Wilson (President of the United States), and
Vittorio Orlando (Prime Minister of Italy).
TREATY OF VERSAILLES
The Treaty of Versailles was signed between the Allied Powers and Germany on June 28,
1919. This officially ended World War I. The treaty was extremely harsh on Germany. It
forced Germany to "accept the responsibility for causing all the loss and damage" of the
war. Germany was forced to disarm, give up land to France, and to pay reparations of
132 billion Marks (around $442 billion in 2014 money).

NEW NATIONAL BORDERS
The map of Europe changed significantly after World War I. Several new
independent countries were formed including Poland, Finland, Yugoslavia, and
Czechoslovakia. Russia became the Soviet Union and the Ottoman Empire later
became the country of Turkey. Germany also had to give up the provinces of
Alsace-Lorraine to France.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
As part of the Paris Peace Conference, an organization called the League of
Nations was formed. The League of Nations was formed in an effort to establish
world peace. Its member countries hoped to prevent wars by helping to settle
disputes between countries. The League also aimed to establish fair labor
conditions, improve global health, control the global arms trade, and protect
minorities in Europe. The League was officially founded by the Treaty of
Versailles and had 42 founding member countries.
