I'm willing to go over stuff right now if people are willing to go over all the information in The era of the Great War. I'll start off by discussing recruitment and work my way through to 'Homes Fit for Heroes'

Okay, we begin with recruitment.

Recruitment

Britain's army was very small when in comparison with other foreign countries. As soon as the war began, the Government began to unravel it's recruitment campaign. Leading this campaign was Lord Kitchener, the man fit to see the largest growth of military force in one year ever recorded.

Propaganda was everywhere. All across Scotland and the rest of Britain, young men of all types were encouraged to join the army and support the country. Often, people were made to feel guilty if they had second thoughts about enrolling for the army; this was inflicted through patriotism and honour. You cannot get much more Scottish than tartan and kilts and cult history, so it was clear that Kitchener would make this clear in his propaganda and make people feel nationalistic. The campaign was a massive success and can be directly linked towards Britain's success in WW1.

Is anyone doing Hitler and Nazi Germany? Please message me if you can offer any help including why the Weimar Government was weak. Thank you!

I am. It was weak because of PR which led to coalitions and the public wanted a storing leadership like they had under the Kaiser. HTH. Good luck!

I'm not sure, however, I'd say it's more to do with how you answer the question.
