1. Sigmund Freud, in his writings, described the impact of war on the public psyche as traumatic and damaging. He believed that the violence and death associated with war could lead to a collective trauma, affecting not only those who participated in the war but also those who were left behind. This trauma could manifest itself in various ways, including anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.

2. Shell shock is a term that was used to describe the psychological trauma experienced by soldiers during World War I. It is characterized by a range of symptoms including fatigue, tremors, confusion, nightmares and impaired sight and hearing. It was initially believed to be the result of physical damage to the brain caused by the impact of heavy artillery shells, hence the term 'shell shock'. However, it is now understood to be a psychological condition.

3. Shell shock is not a new phenomenon. Psychological trauma as a result of war has been documented throughout history. However, the term 'shell shock' was first used during World War I, and the condition was first recognized as a legitimate medical condition during this time.

4. The war plans of Germany (the Schlieffen Plan) and France (Plan XVII) did not work as intended once hostilities began in 1914 due to a variety of reasons. The Schlieffen Plan relied on a quick victory over France, which did not happen. The French were able to halt the German advance at the Battle of the Marne. Plan XVII also failed because it underestimated the strength of the German forces and overestimated the capabilities of their own forces and their allies.

5. Trench warfare and new weapons changed the nature of battle and the wartime experiences of the common soldier in several ways. The introduction of machine guns, poison gas, and tanks made warfare more deadly and impersonal. Trench warfare led to a stalemate on the Western Front, with neither side able to gain a decisive advantage. The conditions in the trenches were also horrific, leading to a high rate of casualties and psychological trauma.

6. The Great War affected people in European colonies in Africa and Asia in several ways. Many were drafted into the war effort, either as soldiers or laborers. The war also disrupted local economies and societies, as resources were redirected towards the war effort. In some cases, the war also led to increased nationalist sentiments, as people in the colonies began to question their subjugation by European powers.
