So how did World War One start?
This seems like a pretty straightforward question that should have a relatively simple answer. However, historians actually have very different theories on how the war started, some more plausible than others. Working with two of my classmates (Tom and Jackson), we explored possible theories and eventually arrived at a consensus opinion. World War 1 was started by unrestrained nationalism in Serbia, Germany, Russia, and England, which led to an unrelenting search for power.
Now that we had a thesis, we had to find a way to present our information. Instead of going with the typical explain everything or keynote, we decided to challenge ourselves and attempt to create an educational puppet show. This proved to be a lot more time consuming than we’d anticipated. We created our own puppets, filmed the show,
recorded all the lines, and edited the whole show. When the dust had settled, our show was almost 20 minutes long.
So here it is. Our puppet show on the start of World War 1:
