What is some information on medical care in WWI? Or really anything that had to do with medicine in WWI.?

In WWI, there were not that many medical care. There was a vaccine developed by Louis Pasteur to combat anthrax infection, alcohol as disinfectant, and anti-mosquito sprays to slow the spread of influenza.\n\nMorphine (I think) was developed sometime in WWI but was not fully used.

One thing you have wrong-People die here everyday-from lack of Medicine, food, heat. I believe we need to take care of Health here-number one. And you don't hear it in the media. Work at a hospital and see-many die just because they can not afford their medicine (many just because of medicine) and no there are not programs where all are eligible. This could be prevented.\n\nAs far as other dying during war time-that is sad-and has gone on for years. There are a lot of issues here-more than most want to hear. Some just look at one cause (it seems you are looking at death rate-some look at those who want help-they count too-Holocaust people waited a long time for our help and they were few in numbers compared to others)Some look at results-some look at all the issues (there are a few). \n\nIf humans lives count to you as you indicate than please -work on the health here-people are dying everyday-everywhere. War has gone on throughout history-with very complicated issues -there will be more-continually. History.! But your complains on health can solve many deaths happening now which we have control on.

I would like to expand the answers already given.\nThe first worldwar (1914-18) severely affected the population balance due to the policy of 'local recruitment'. The battle of the Somme resulted in a large number of deaths where the whole MALE population from some villages had enlisted in 'Pals regiments'. These villages were left without males between the ages of 16-50 and eligible husbands were at a premium.\nThe outbreak of 'Spanish Flu' followoed in 1919 causing many thousands of deaths in males, females and children. (This pandemic is the reason for the recent worries about 'Chicken Flu' at present).\nThe period between the wars saw an increase in the use of vitamins particularly  D to combat ricketts in the poorer families by the supply of milk.  Unfortunately the quality of the milk was uncontrolled and many cases of TB were contracted from milk (bovine TB) as well as poor hygiene conditions in the housing.\n\nInfectious diseases were large killers until the introduction of antimicrobials and antibiotics after World War 2. This war also resulted in large numbers of deaths but there was an increase in births due to the possibilities of the husbands being killed in combat.\n\nPost WW2 there was austerity and hardship until the late 1950s/60s.  (Really from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth the Second.) The country talked of the new Elizabethan era and prosperity. This was shown by the "Baby Boom" of the 1960s. Mortality was reduced by the wide spread availability and use of antibiotics to fight TB and other infectious diseases. (Scarlet fever, whooping cough and  diphtheria). Innoculations were also introduced as preventative measures against some of these bacterial diseases. They then started anti-viral vaccines against polio and mumps which they combined with tetanus as the famous triple DTM vaccine.\nUnfortunately the winter of 1957 brought another pandemic of Flu, the so-called Asian flu, which killed nearly 300.000 people in UK.  Matters were not helped by the introduction of a faulty polio vaccine in 1960 which raised concern and a drop in people especially children being vaccinated against polio.

World War I, also known as the First World War and (before 1939) the Great War, the War of the Nations, War to End All Wars was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice (cessation of hostilities) on November 11, 1918. The label World War I or First World War did not come into general use until after the outbreak of World War II in 1939, and until then it was commonly known as the Great War or the World War. The war was fought by the Allied Powers on one side, and the Central Powers on the other, resulting in eventual victory for the Allies. No previous conflict had mobilized so many soldiers or involved so many in the field of battle. By its end, the war had become the bloodiest war in recorded history, though this record was soon to be superseded by World War II.\n\nAmongst Western countries, World War I became infamous for trench warfare along the Western Front, involving a system of opposing trenches (separated by a "No Man's Land") running from the North Sea to the border of Switzerland. More than 9 million soldiers died on the various battlefields, and nearly that many more in the participating countries' home fronts on account of food shortages and genocide committed under the cover of various civil wars and internal conflicts. In World War I, only some 5% of the casualties (directly caused by the war) were civilian - in World War II, this figure approached 50%.\n\nUltimately, World War I created a decisive break with the old world order that had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars, as modified by the mid-19th century national revolutions, the processes of European national unification and European colonialism. Three European land empires were shattered and subsequently dismembered to varying degrees: the German, the Austro-Hungarian and the Russian. In the Balkans and the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire experienced the same fate. Three European imperial dynasties, represented by the Hohenzollern, the Hapsburg and the Romanov families in Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia respectively, also fell during the war.\n\nWorld War I witnessed the first advent of Communism as a means of government in Russia. The following decades would see the transformation of the old Russian Empire into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a global superpower. In the east, the demise of the Ottoman Empire paved the way for a modern democratic successor state, Turkey, in the core region of Anatolia, in addition to a number of successor states and territories throughout the Middle East. In Central Europe, the new states of Czechoslovakia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Yugoslavia were born and Austria, Hungary and Poland were re-created. Shortly after the war, in 1923, Fascists came to power in Italy; in 1933, 15 years after the war, Nazism took over Germany. Problems unresolved or created by the war would be highly important factors in the outbreak, within 20 years, of World War II.\n\n\n\nCauses:\n\nOn June 28, 1914, Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb student. The Archduke was there to assert imperial authority over a disputed province. Princip was supported by pan-Serbian nationalists, with links to the Serbian military. Though this assassination is usually considered the immediate trigger for the war, its origins can be traced back to the complex web of alliances and counterbalances that developed between the various European powers after 1871.\n\n\nReasons and responsibilities\nThe reasons for the outbreak of World War I are a complicated issue; there are many factors which intertwine. Some examples are:\n\nFervent and uncompromising nationalism \nUnresolved previous disputes \nThe intricate system of alliances \nConvoluted and fragmented governance \nDelays and misunderstandings in diplomatic communications \nThe arms races of the previous decades. \nRigidity in military planning

Here are some sites dedicated to WWI.  Any library should have some good books that will give you the information you need.  Any history book that covers that time period might be a good place to start. \n\nGood luck with it.

Haha, that sounds really ridiculous. May have happened in WW1 though. But a dog has ever fought in WW1 and got promoted to sergeant, decorated with medals.

The industrialisation of warfare had a great impact on World War I. Your essay should explore:\n\n* use of modern factories to meet the need of the combatants on the field and logistics - one of the reasons Russia dropped out was the failure to meet demands of the troops for example;\n\n* use of railways to transport troops to the front;\n\n* use of modern technology such as aircraft and tanks for the first time - it was their use in an integrated manner by  Allied commanders such as Sir John Monash of Australia that would eventually lead to victory in 1918;\n\n* growing role for Government: Government's share of GDP exceeded 50% in Germany and France and appraoached that in the UK and introduction of higher tax systems such as income tax to finance the war.
