World War I - Battle of Verdun [+REP]

[Cath]

Hello guys !

So I'm currently working on this project that I need to hand-in as soon as possible.

Basically, I need to explain what leaded to the World War I (causes) + to the Battle of Verdun. I also need to explain why French Canadians got involved in it.

I've read about it in my book and on the net, but I feel like I'm not sure I understand exactly how the different countries in Europe got involved with one another.

I also don't seem to find anything relevant about why French Canadians decided to battle alongside with France.

Any help is welcome and I will +REP of course !

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand is what mainly caused world war 1. we learned it this year. Trench warfare also began in world war 1.

We didn't learn much about the battle of verdun but to me it seems like it was caused by Germany hating france
