Check out http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWW... for an index to suit your interests.  If you google "World War One index", "First World War index", and similar keywords, you should get other results.

Answer 2

An index is an alphabetical list of primary subjects, names, titles, etc. that helps you locate information within a presentation, whether it be a written piece, or the handout and summary of an orally-presented piece. A periodical index lists articles by subject or author. A book index is a list at the end of a book which gives pages numbers where names and subjects can be found in the book.

So any significant characters or events should be listed in your index, which would be the last page (separate) of your submission.

For example, if you discusses these five topics:

Bismarck, Prime Minister

Ferdinand, Archduke Franz

Lusitania, sinking of

Poison Gas, use of

Schlieffen Plan, The

You would list them alphabetically by the most important word in the description.
