During the First World War, No Man’s Land was the empty strip of territory that divided two opposing forces. The enemies were separated by barbed wire and miles of empty land.

"No Man’s Land" was the place where cruel and deadly battles took place during the First World War. Such lands witnessed blood, explosions, death, and the anguished cries of the dying. It marks one of the most horrific examples of bad generalship and inhumanity and for that reason it is an important, albeit painful, topic of study. 

Main Points covered in this class:
1) Definition of No Man’s Land
2) Description of No Man’s Land during the First World War
3) No Man’s Land in the present time
4) No Man’s Land in literature and tales

Students will be provided with a thorough handout covering these topics which also includes questions (and answers) to help check their understanding after the class is over. If time permits, we will address some of these questions together.
