Review paragraph 2.
Cher Ami's Message
WW1, fought between 1914 and 198, Involved more than 30 European countries. In 1917, the United States joined the war to help defend France and other allies against Germany. On the European battlefields, it was difficult to communicate across long distances. Telegraphs could not be sent in places where there were no Telegraph wires, and signal flags did not work well when it was dark or stormy. Human messengers were an option, but they had trouble getting through areas with active fighting. That is when trained homing pigeons came to the rescue.

Here are the main issues I found and a corrected version.
Main issues
- Typo/factual error: "198" should be 1918 (World War I, 1914–1918).
- Capitalization and punctuation errors ("Involved" and "Telegraph" should be lowercase; comma splice after the year).
- Clarity/style: "telegraphs could not be sent in places where there were no telegraph wires" is awkward — "telegraph messages couldn't be sent where there were no lines" is clearer. "Signal flags" can be described as unreliable in low visibility.

If you want, I can also simplify the language further for a younger audience or expand with a sentence about Cher Ami specifically.
