About this Chapter
Putting the Pieces of the Past Together focuses on the chronology of the Meuse-Argonne Campaign and its larger role within the Great War.
To help students understand the historical significance of this World War I campaign, they will build a chronology of the campaign as it fits into World War I.
The activities in this chapter will help students answer the following questions:
- What was life like for American soldiers during the Meuse-Argonne campaign?
- What role did these men and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive play in the larger scope of the war?
- Where would their personal stories fall in the chronology of the Meuse-Argonne and World War I?
- What impact did the Meuse-Argonne campaign and those involved have in the larger context of World War I?
This chapter is part of the iBook Bringing the Great War Home: Teaching With The Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery,
