Der '''Erste Weltkrieg''' wurde von 1914 bis 1918 in Europa, im Nahen Osten, in Afrika, Ostasien und auf den Ozeanen geführt.

Wichtige Kriegsbeteiligte waren Deutschland, Österreich-Ungarn, das Osmanische Reich und Bulgarien einerseits sowie Frankreich, Großbritannien und das Britische Weltreich, Russland, Serbien, Belgien, Italien, Rumänien, Japan und die USA andererseits. Ingesamt beteiligten sich 40 Staaten am bis dahin umfassendsten Krieg der Geschichte. Es standen annähernd 70 Millionen Menschen unter Waffen; etwa 17 Millionen Menschen verloren dadurch ihr Leben.

== „großer“ Krieg oder Weltkrieg? ==
Als '''Weltkrieg''' wird ein Krieg bezeichnet, der durch sein geographisches Ausmaß über mehrere Kontinente und durch den unbegrenzten Einsatz aller verfügbaren strategischen Ressourcen weltweite Bedeutung erlangt oder der im Ergebnis eine grundsätzliche Neuordnung der weltweiten internationalen Beziehungen mit sich bringt.

Heute wird der Begriff „Weltkrieg“ überwiegend mit zwei Kriegen in Verbindung gebracht. Diese sind

* der [[Erster Weltkrieg|Erste Weltkrieg]] (1914–1918) und
* der [[Zweiter Weltkrieg|Zweite Weltkrieg]] (1939–1945).

* {{wpde|Weltkrieg}}

=== Epochenjahr 1917 ===
Das Jahr '''1917''' kann insofern als '''[[Epochen#Epochenjahre|Epochenjahr]]''' bezeichnet werden, als zumindest zwei Ereignisse prägend für eine nachfolgende, grundsätzlich veränderte Entwicklung (eine neue [[Epochen|Epoche der Geschichte]]) geworden sind:
* Der Kriegseintritt der [[USA]] in den 1. Weltkrieg
* Die [[Oktoberrevolution]] in [[Russland]]

If-sentences/Typ 1

2026-06-22T09:54:14Z

Matthias Scharwies: /* What happens if … */

Der If-Satz Typ I wird verwendet, wenn unter einer bestimmten Bedingung, die möglich und sehr wahrscheinlich ist, etwas passieren wird.

Beispiele:

If it <span style="display: inline-block;background:orange;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 4em;">rains</span>, I <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 5em;"> will stay</span> at home.

If it <span style="display: inline-block;background:orange;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;">doesn't rain</span>, I <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;"> won't stay</span> at home. I <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;"> will go</span> jogging.

<div style="width:30em">
{|class=wikitable
|-
! !! if-clause !! main-clause
|-
| '''Typ I''' || style="min-width:8em"| <span style="display: inline-block;background:orange;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;">simple present</span> ||style="min-width:8em"| <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;">will +inf</span>
|}
</div>

Die Verwendung von [[Present_Simple|simple present]] im Bedingungssatz scheint einfach, bietet wie in den oberen Beispielen jedoch die Tücke der [[Present_Simple#3._Person_Einzahl|3. Person Singular]] mit dem angehängten -s.

{{Achtung|He, She, it …

… -s must fit!}}

Matthias Scharwies: /* What happens if … */

Der If-Satz Typ I wird verwendet, wenn unter einer bestimmten Bedingung, die möglich und sehr wahrscheinlich ist, etwas passieren wird.

Beispiele:

If it <span style="display: inline-block;background:orange;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 4em;">rains</span>, I <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 5em;"> will stay</span> at home.

If it <span style="display: inline-block;background:orange;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;">doesn't rain</span>, I <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;"> won't stay</span> at home. I <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;"> will go</span> jogging.

<div style="width:30em">
{|class=wikitable
|-
! !! if-clause !! main-clause
|-
| '''Typ I''' || style="min-width:8em"| <span style="display: inline-block;background:orange;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;">simple present</span> ||style="min-width:8em"| <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;">will +inf</span>
|}
</div>

Die Verwendung von [[Present_Simple|simple present]] im Bedingungssatz scheint einfach, bietet wie in den oberen Beispielen jedoch die Tücke der [[Present_Simple#3._Person_Einzahl|3. Person Singular]] mit dem angehängten -s.

With the election of Barack Obama as the first Black president in 2008, Americans thought racism was a thing of the past. Some incidents have proven that it's still different to be black even in multicultural cities like Philadelphia or Harvard.

=== His Childhood ===
'''Put in the correct forms of the verbs.'''

<div class="lueckentext-quiz" lang="en">
Malcolm Little ''was born (to bear)'' in 1925 in Omaha and ''grew (grow)'' up in Michigan. He had a difficult childhood. His parents had eight children and when Malcolm was six years old his father ''was murdered (murder)'' leaving his mother to look after the family on her own. The Littles received money from the state but it wasn't enough and so the children ''had to work (have to, work)'' instead of going to school. Malcolm, for example, picked strawberries earning $1 for a whole day's work. In 1937 the family were forced apart. Mrs Little had to go into an institution for the mentally ill and the children were split up among other families.

Young Malcolm grew up in special homes and later turned to crime, drugs and violence. In 1946, only 20, he ''was sent (send)'' to prison for burglary. There he taught himself to read and to write and to speak in front of people. But above all, he read. Malcolm hated it when, at ten o'clock every night, the guards turned off the lights in his cell. "Fortunately, there was a light outside my room," he wrote later in his autobiography. "And I would sit on the floor where I continued reading. Every time I heard the guards' footsteps coming, I would jump into bed and pretend to be asleep."

While he was in prison, Malcolm Little read many books. He ''became (become)'' interested in a religious group called the Black Muslims. They believed that Black people were better than white people.

Malcolm accepted these ideas and joined the group. He changed his name to Malcolm X because he believed that the name "Little" came from white slave owners and was not his family's original name.

Matthias Scharwies: /* What will the weather be? */

__NOTOC__
The '''weather forecast''' tells how the weather will be. A '''weather report''' shows how the weather was yesterday and how it has been today.

== Reading ==
=== It never rains in Southern California ===
{{2Spalten|
{{aufgabe-en|
# Why has the climate been called "perfect"?
# How is summer in California?
# How much does it rain in a year?
# What are the average temperatures?
# How often des the sun shine?
}}
|
Southern California’s climate has often been described as “perfect” and with good reason. Most days are sunny and warm, with gentle ocean breezes in the summer. The humidity is low with little rain. In fact, there are no unpleasant seasons in Los Angeles.

Annual precipitation: 15 inches

Average high temperature: 74° F

Avg. sunny/partly sunny days: 292 days

Average low temperature: 56° F

{{2Spalten|
{{aufgabe-en|
# How does a thermometer work?
# Which two types of thermometers are described?
# What is the Fahrenheit scale based on?
# Why is the Celsius scale better?
}}
|
Daniel Fahrenheit was the German physicist who invented the alcohol thermometer in 1709 and the mercury thermometer in 1714. In a mercury or alcohol thermometer, the liquid expands as it is heated and contracts when it is cooled, so the length of the liquid column is longer or shorter depending on the temperature.

In 1724, he introduced the standard temperature scale that bears his name—Fahrenheit scale—that was used to record changes in temperature in an accurate fashion. Fahrenheit based his temperature scale on the temperature of the human body which he put on 100 degrees. Zero degrees was based on the temperature of an equal mixture of water, ice, and salt.

In 1742, the Celsius scale was invented by Swedish Astronomer Anders Celsius. The Celsius temperature scale is also referred to as the "centigrade" scale. Centigrade means "divided into 100 degrees." The Celsius scale has 100 degrees between the freezing point (0 degrees) and boiling point (100 degrees) of pure water at sea level air pressure.

Matthias Scharwies:

Der If-Satz Typ I wird verwendet, wenn unter einer bestimmten Bedingung, die möglich und sehr wahrscheinlich ist, etwas passieren wird.

Beispiele:

If it <span style="display: inline-block;background:orange;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 4em;">rains</span>, I <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 5em;"> will stay</span> at home.

If it <span style="display: inline-block;background:orange;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;">doesn't rain</span>, I <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;"> won't stay</span> at home. I <span style="display: inline-block;background:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;"> will go</span> jogging.

<div style="width:30em">

If-sentences/Typ 3

Matthias Scharwies:

Der Typ III ([[If-sentences|If-Satz]] der Vergangenheit, ''irrealis der Vergangenheit'') berichtet über etwas bisher Geschehenes und ist leichter zu identifizieren. Allerdings bestehen seine Bestandteile aus vielen Hilfsverben, die anfangs eher Angst machen.

Beispiele:

If I <span style="display: inline-block;background:#990;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 7em;">had known</span> that, I <span style="display: inline-block;background:purple;color:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 10em;"> would have stayed</span> at home.

I <span style="display: inline-block;background:purple;color:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 13em;">wouldn't have got(ten)</span> wet if it <span style="display: inline-block;background:#990;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;">hadn't rained</span>.
