Essay on The First World War (WWI)
WORLD WAR ONE
There has always been wars, and there will always be wars. Most wars leave a huge impact on the
history of that nation, especialy if it involves more than one. In 1914, long–standing rivalries among
European nations exploded into war. World War one, as it is now called, cost millions of lives. Such
a war, has left a deep intentaion on the
American history.
There were three very important causes of World War One;
Nationalism, Militarism, and Imperialism ( Davidson, Castillo, Stoff, page
570). For years, these three factor has brought tension to European nations. Then, in June of 1914,

In time, 21 other nations joined the Allies.
When war broke out in Europe, the United States was determined to stay neutral to avoid being
dragged into the conflict that would clearly tear apart any nation who was involved. While neutral,
the Americas supplied other countries with weapons in order to gain money. This all changed wen
President Woodrow Wilson recepted the Zimmerman
Telegram. This was a telegram from Germany urging Mexico to attack the United States.
In return, Germany promised that they would help Mexico win back its
"lost provinces" in the American South west. President Wilson could not longer keep the peace, so
he went before congress and asked for a declaration of war. On April 6 of 1917, the president signed
the declaration of war. It thrust Americans into the deadliest war the world had yet seen(Davidson,
Castillo, Stoff, page 578).
The first American troops reached France in June of 1917. They quickly saw the desperate situation

The World 's First Space
1960s–After World War 2 a new conflict began. Known as the cold war it was between the United
States and the Soviet Union. The war worked a way into everyday life for both countries. The arms
race fueled the cold war and the growing threat of nuclear weapons. The space race continued when
the Soviet Union launched the Soviet R–7 intercontinental ballistic missile launched Sputnik. The
Soviet R–7 was the world's first artificial satellite and the first man–made object to be placed into
the Earth's orbit.
In 1958 the United States launched a satellite named the Apollo 1. It was made by the US army with

on the Apollo 11 space mission it was the first lunar landing attempt. After the successful landing
Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk the moon.
When Neil Armstrong landed on the moon the United States won the space race. The Soviet Union
had a total of 4 failed attempts like the launch–pad explosion in July 1969 and the failed launch in
1968. Astronauts came to be seen as the ultimate American heroes, and earth–bound men and
women enjoyed living vicariously through them. After the space race the Soviet Union still
attempted to land on the moon and on August 8th 1969 they launched a unmanned rocket with the
name of Zond 7 that finally orbited the moon.
In 1970 the Soviet Union launched An automated rover named Lunokhod 1. For the US they had the
Apollo 13 mission. The Apollo 13 mission left earth on April 11, 1970 and it was going well until 55

The Causes Of The First World War
The causes of the First World War were similar and differed from the causes of the Second World
War politically, economically, and socially. Both of these significant, historical events were
substantially affected by the interaction of dominating societies during this time period. During the
First World War, these leading societies were the European authorities of Britain, Germany, and
Austria, with slight assistance from the U.S. However, the United States allocated their full
engagement during the Second World War. Eventually, with years to come, the United States would
become one of the primary superpowers. Although these two wars were notably different from
political, social, and economic views, both of these event shared numerous similarities.
One of the main causes of both World Wars was the concept of imperialism. During World War I,
the Germans, the French, and the British were in competition to create the world 's best, most
significant and substantial empire. With the thought of imperialistic ways, the German would ally
with the Austrians, and the British would ally with the French. In World War II, Adolf Hitler was in
hopes of making expansions to the Third Reich. He decided to expand this society in hopes that he
could incorporate "all German speaking– peoples." Imperialism relates to both of the historically
significant events. It recurred within the German, Britain, and France. Due to this, the size of the
militaries increased within these three societies.

The True Victor Of The First World War
It has been said by many scholars that the true victor of the First World War was disease and illness.
Statistics show that over one third of military related deaths were caused by a disease/illness of
some sort. To put that in more of a numerical visual, there were about ten million casualties in the
span of World War I, this is excluding civilians, only military personnel. Of that ten million, about
two million deaths were caused by disease/illness (Nadège Mougel, 2009). This number could me
more, but about six million soldiers were reported as missing, or presumed dead.
So let's start out by medically defining what a disease is. The Merriam–Webster dictionary (2003)

All of which caused numerous casualties in the duration of the war.
Even people who have not done an in depth study of World War I has heard of the infamous, trench
foot. As many as twenty–thousand casualties were said to have suffered by the British Army alone.
The cause to this infection of the feet was quite obvious. Trench warfare become most prominent
during WWI, this was a type of warfare fought on land that consisted of seven foot deep, six foot
wide tunnels dug into the earth to protect from enemy fire. These first came about when German
General Erich von Falkenhayn commanded his troops to start digging to protect themselves from the
oncoming French and British troops. The allies, after realizing they could not break through the
German line, began to dig trenches as well (John Simpkin, 1997). Because of being the first to start
digging their trenches, this gave the Germans the advantage of choosing the location to start
digging. They of course, chose the high ground. This was a good decision based on a military
tactical standpoint, as well as an advantage when it came to the living conditions of the soldiers
(Simpkin, 1997). The deeper the British troops dug, the more water would begin to flood the
trenches. The trench conditions were so bad that some soldiers even preferred to sleep outside the
trenches, in plain view of their enemies and in a bullets trajectory. One soldier named Arnold Ridley

Siam in the First World War
At the outbreak of the war in August of 1914, which merely 4 years after ascending to the Throne in
1910, the King Vajiravudh monitoring and was well informed about development of the war in
Europe. Prior to Siam joined the war the king Vajiravudh observed that Siam was geographically so
remote from the war and he was rightly in thinking that it was wise for Siam to maintain strict and
impartial neutrality. The reason behind this decision was due to the fact that there were danger signs
of the threats to Siamese independence especially during the early years of the reign. As can be see
from the last decade of nineteenth century Siam was the only independent country in the South East
Asia that was surrounded by British and French colonies from east to west. The incident at 'Pak
Nam', in 1893, in which French brought the gun boats from their colonies in Indo–China to the 'Mae
Nam' and trained the guns on the King's Palace in Bangkok, were still fresh in the mine of people in
Siam. As a result of this conflicted Siam had to cede to France the right bank of Mae Khong River
which included Loung Pra Bang followed by the whole of Cambodia which included Phra Vuhear
temple in 1907 after signed Entente Cordiale agreement of 1907. As well as these Siam also ceded

at war. The conflict had an impact on Australia as a young nation, the following information are just

Another example was that Companies promised the employees who volunteered for service would
have their positions held with leave granted with full pay. Events ended with both cast and audience
uniting in the anthems of Rule, Britannia and Advance Australia Fair reflecting strong nationalist

image as there are hints to imply that not all Australians felt this way, for example even though
many men tried to enlist, there were many that did not which led to incidences of white feathers
being sent to the men that did not rush to enlist and also of women rejecting and abusing these men.

Events Leading For The First World War
Term Paper #2: Events Leading to the First World War There were five foremost supremacies in the
First World War. Those five supremacies were Great Britain, France, the German Empire, the
Austro–Hungarian Empire, and Russia. This paper will be discussing the escalation of imperialism,
nationalism, and militarism in the German Empire throughout the fifty years leading up to the First
World War and describing how each of these said characteristics led to the German Empire going to
war with and against the other said supremacies.
To start out, imperialism is the arrangement when an influential nation controls and exploits a
colony or colonies. The most communal circumstance for imperialism is when the imperialist nation
inaugurates control over the newfound terrain through intimidation and force. After the colony or
colonies are subjugated, the territory is then claimed as a colony of the imperialist nation. The
imperialist nation is frequently denoted to as the 'mother country' of the colony or colonies it has
taken over. The imperialist nation 'gives birth' to a new colony, hence the name 'mother country' of
the colony. The colonial governments are functioned by the imperial nation or a subservient puppet
regime. The manifestation of a military power is often positioned in the colony or colonies to
regulate the native inhabitants–who justifiably do not appreciate being taken over–, to deal with any
insurrections that transpire, and to dissuade imperial competitors. The

Introduction Of The First World War
Introduction to the First World War
In the context of the First World War, we need to consider the question: 'Are we as a nation so
transfixed by the Gallipoli campaign that we have failed to look at what was happening elsewhere
during the First World War?
There is a strong case to be made that Gallipoli has over the past hundred years, overshadowed the
real stage on which the war was fought – the Western Front. This does a great injustice to the many
thousands of Australians who fought and died there. It is time to set the record straight – not to
diminish Gallipoli – but to raise the Western Front campaign to the same degree of significance in
the Australian psyche and its historic records.
Many Australians today would point to the 1915 Gallipoli campaign as the single most defining
moment in Australia 's history.
Before 1915 at the outbreak of the First World War Australia was widely considered as just a colony
of the British Empire. The heroism, courage and 'mateship' portrayed by the ANZACS at Gallipoli
has since become a symbol of nationhood of Australia. From this time other countries respected
Australian soldiers as a 'force to be reckoned with'/ Politicians have frequently referred to what it
means to be Australian was 'written in blood' at ANZAC Cove. Every year special remembrance
services are held at ANZAC Cove to remember the soldiers who gave their lives there.

Volunteering In The First World
Volunteering has many effects on both the volunteer and the individuals that volunteering helps.
Volunteer work is vital to the growth of society, as money is not abundant for many people. Without
it, society as a whole would be much more harsh and bland. For example, many public service
workers are volunteers, along with many local actors and shelter – both animal and human –
workers. Volunteer work from groups of individuals such as firemen and firewomen, soup kitchen
workers, and the Doctors Without Borders organization, is one of the main reasons that societies

Since the dawn of capitalism and democracy, humans have seen that not everyone is born into a
good life. Many people have to work two, or perhaps even three, jobs in order to make a living.
Even then, there is no guarantee that an individual will lead a happy, well–to–do life. As society
grows and matures, human civilization will come to accept that volunteering is a necessity. If no one
in our communities volunteered, there will be too many people that lead lives of poverty and envy.
However, the more that people volunteer, the less amount of people in our communities will struggle
in their lives. Whenever people obtain aid in their lives, they are more likely to reciprocate that help
later in time. The more aid a person receives, the more opportunities they have to lead a better life in
the future. If everyone helped one another in any form or fashion, life would be much better as we
know it. We, as a human civilization, have seen repeatedly that people who have lived through hard
times are more likely to give back to their communities if they have better lives later on. As time
goes on, years from now, hopefully we will see poverty, hunger, heart failure, and other common

The First World War fought from 1914 to 1918 was one of the largest and most brutal catastrophes
fought in the 20th century. With nearly the entire European continent fighting a barbaric and
everlasting war, the U.S. had eventually to get involved in order to reinitiate stability to Europe.
Ultimately, the U.S. taking involvement in World War I had a profound political, economic, and
social impact on the country. It increased government powers and solidified the nation's leadership
role in foreign politics. The U.S. emerged as the world 's greatest industrial power with increasing
financial opportunities for minorities. At the same time anti–immigrant and anti– communist
sentiments arose among many American citizens. And finally the war contributed to the massive
migration of African Americans from the Southern to Northern states looking for employment and
freedom and, first time allowed women to participate in jobs that were traditionally reserved for
men.
Initially, U.S. politicians and citizens had differing opinions of whether or not they should take
action in the war. Although many in society and congress disapproved war, Wilson eventually

The First World War ( Wwi )
The First World War (WWI) was fought from 1914 to 1918 and the Second World War (or WWII)
was fought from 1939 to 1945. They were the largest military conflicts in human history. Both wars
involved military alliances between different groups of countries.
World War I was centered on Europe. The world warring nations were divided into two groups
namely 'The Central Powers' and 'The Allied Powers'. The central powers group consisted of
Germany, Austria–Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. The Allied powers group consisted of France,
Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and (from 1917) the U.S.
World War II, the opposing alliances are now referred to as 'The Axis' and 'The Allies'. The Axis
group consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Allies group consisted of France, Britain, the
U.S., the Soviet Union, and China. World War II was especially heinous because of the genocide of
Jewish people perpetrated by the Nazis.
The causes of World War I were six. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on
28 June 1914, the heir to the throne of Austria–Hungary was the trigger for the war. He was killed
by Serbian nationalists. Austria–Hungary invaded Serbia. At same time Germany invaded Belgium,
Luxembourg and France. Russia attacked Germany. Several alliances formed over the past decades
were invoked, so within weeks the major powers were at war; as all had colonies, the conflict soon

World War 1 : The Causes Of The First World War
World War 1 was a global conflict that lasted 4 years, and included the most powerful nations in the
world. The war started in July of 1914, and ended four years later. At the end of the war, 70 million
militants were involved, where a large percentage of them were Europeans. Millions of militants and
civilians died during the war. The deaths were partly contributed to by technological and industrial
advancements in some of the nations that were involved. The First World War is unarguably one of
the deadliest conflicts in human civilizations. Unresolved conflicts among contributing nations
resulted in another deadly conflict two decades later, the Second World War. The reasons that caused
the eruption of the conflict that later became the First World War have been recorded by numerous
historians. The war started after a young man from Serbia assassinated a man who was the heir to
the throne of Austria–Hungary. The man was Franz Ferdinand, and he was killed together with his
wife as they moved through the streets of Sarajevo. The Serbian killer, Gavrilo Princip, is believed
to have had ties with an undercover military group, the Black Hand. The assassination took place on
June 28, 1914. The deaths of Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophia, were partly contributed to by the
failure of the security team that protected the highly regarded couple. There were rumors before the
assassination of an Austrian plan to remove the Archduke and invade his country. On the material
day, the Archduke had travelled to Sarajevo to inspect the imperial militaries that were based in
Bosnia and Herzegovina . The assassination provoked conflict between the two nations, Serbia and
Austria–Hungary. However, the declaration of war by Austria–Hungary was put off until they were
assured that Germany would assist them in the war in case of Russia joined forces with Serbia.
Russia had two powerful allies; France and Britain. Major European players divided themselves into
two major groups as they formed alliances around the two warring parties. Austria–Hungary blamed
Serbia for the attack and declared war on Serbia the same day that the Archduke was assassinated .

Weapons of the First World War
Research Overview of WW1 Weapons During World War I many new kinds of weapons and
technology were invented and improved. Some of these weapons included tanks, chemical and
biochemical weapons, grenades, and machine guns. Chemical Warfare was used for the first time on
a large scale in World War I. There are two main types of chemical warfare, one affects the surface
of the body they come in contact with and the other affects the nervous system. Almost all chemical
warfare weapons needed to be inhaled to cause severe damage or death. Chemicals that caused
neurological damage acted by blocking the transmission of nerve messages throughout the body,
these types of chemicals included tabun, soman, sarin, and VX ("Chemical and Biological ... Show

Chemicals that attack the nervous system are very powerful and can cause death within minutes of
inhalation. Nerve agents work by blocking the transmission of nerve messages within the body
("Chemical and Biological Warfare"). "A single drop of nerve agent can shut down the entire body's
nervous system in a few minutes" ("Chemical and Biological Warfare"). Tanks were first used in
combat in September of 1916 by the British ("The WW1 Tank"). When tanks were first created they
were basically an armored car with a track instead of tires for easier off road use. The first
prototypes of tanks were very flawed and would take a lot of improvements to become what they are
today. They were not well adapted to moving over uneven muddy battle fields so the tanks were
easily bogged down by mud and sometimes got completely stuck. Tanks were not only effective by
their protective properties but also had a scare factor towards the beginning of the war since they
were new and the German army had not experienced them in battle before. View slits were one of
the main problems with the first tanks. For one they were too small to be able to effectively see
anything out of them while the tank was moving. And the slits were targets for enemy gunshot.

From the beginning, the Austrians suspected that Serbia, an independant country and rival of
Austria–Hungry, was behind the killing. This was said to have been the most inportant cause that
triggered the war, because of the already intense rivalry between the two countries. Moreover, the
navy of Britain was massive, to protect the ships sailing to and from countries in the British empire.
When Germany started to build a big navy, Britain was worried. Germany would pose as a major
military threat if they also had a big, powerful navy like Britain. They might invade British ships
that importing goods etc. Basically, a big German navy is a big threat to Britain's industry and its
empire. The fight for land too was intense, one of the states of Germany had taken some land from
France when they defeated them in the Franco–Prussian war in 1871. This made France look weak,
and made them, embrassed. France was angry and wanted their land back. This also further
heightened the rivalry of France and Germany. The alliances, played a major role in causing the first

Essay On The First World War
The First World War was the first war that used mechanized weaponry. It is shown to be a
revolutionary advancement from the old war style that featured hand–to–hand combat and only
minimal use of comparably incompetent mechanic weapons. The improvement of these war
technologies was so huge and their powers were overlooked. These new inventions had also brought
unexpected horror to the soldiers serving in the war. The estimated deaths in both military and
citizens were 16.5 million ("Casualties | WW1 Facts", 2016). Therefore, the First World War is a
war, much more horrific compared to previous wars, because a mass number of people were killed
due to inventions of modern weapons like machine guns and poison gas which were used in an
industrial scale. Before the First World War, one of the more popular firearm used in previous wars
were the Vickers gun. This water cooled gun needs to be operated by 6 men so it needs a lot of

All of the reasons suggested above do play a part in why the stalemate on the Western Front was

Attack by sea was also encouraged, U–boats were made to destroy import boats, unfortunately most
of these boats turned out to be highly armed attack ships in disguise read to destroy the U–boats.
Ships that did manage to siege successfully were in effect unsuccessful because of the rationing and
recycling efforts made by the British and their allies. So overall, the new technology helped but
none of the new weaponry was war winning and most definitely not as important as the other factors
to the ending of the stalemate.
The United States entry to the war in April 1917 was due to the Zimmerman telegram intercepted by
the British intelligence and this telegram was from Germany to Mexico encouraging Mexico to
reclaim states taken from them by America.
The United States entry into the war brought millions of fresh, new, eager men and plentiful
supplies. These supplies were all helpful and most of the supplies (as America was and still is a
highly technologically advanced country) were of the new technology mentioned earlier. This
abundance of new weaponry gave Britain and the allies an edge over the Germans and their allies.
The allied troops also found a new inspiration to fight because of the United States entry and so an
intense morale boost swept through the troops. America also had immense amounts of money (being

The First World War Essay
The First World War was commonly known for its lack of movement for soldiers on all sides. World
War I took place on the Western Front from the autumn of 1914 to the spring of 1918. During the
First Battle of the Marne, German advances were pushed back by the Allied forces. To stop
themselves from loosing land they "dug in" and made protective trenches. The Allied forces were
unable to break through the German line as a result did the same and made trenches of their own.
Death was an event that many soldiers had met on the front lines daily. Due to attacks launched by
air raids with large shell bursts numerous men were buried in the process of defending themselves.

area caused by cold, wet and unsanitary trench conditions. Amputation was necessary when the
infection get too out of hand. Trench Foot was common at the beginning of the war; it improved and

The First World War ( Wwi )
Along history there have been persuasive speakers who through their voices have changed the
world. They have mastered the art of persuasion and became leaders in order to inspire people to
follow them and believe in them, to fight for their country because of patriotism and honor, and they
unite masses for the best for the humanity and others for the worse. The First World War (WWI) left
leaders that implementing strategic messages dedicated to the people made a paradigm shift by that
time causing a revolutionary change and "a tragic and unnecessary conflict," as Keegan describes
the Great War. Leaders in WWI such as David Lloyd George, the Liberal chancellor of British,
Thomas Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, and later Adoft Hitler during WWII,
are remembered for their persuasive approaches.
By definition, a persuasive speech is "a message strategically designed to induce change in the
audience in some way consistent with the speaker's purpose" (Pearson 330). Mrs. Price explains
how Aristotle defined three kinds of persuasion furnished: "The first kind, ethos, depends on the
personal character of the speaker; the second, pathos, on appealing to the emotions, values, and
beliefs of the audience, and third, logos, on the proof or logic." Many leaders have mastered the
three types before mentioned and demonstrated that it is an invaluable tool that can change the

The First World War I
The Second World War will always be remembered as the "Good War," the one that had to be fought
to stop both Adolph Hitler's intent to spread Nazism and his then–unknown plans for the
"purification" of the human race. However, some do not know what went into that war. For instance,
many do not know the real injustices Germany faced at the hands of the Allies at the Treaty of
Versailles; others may not have given much thought to how both sides prepared, or did not prepare,
for the next potential war while attempting to prevent repeating the mistakes of the first; and many
may not know just what kinds of odds the soldiers faced during OPERATION Overlord. Several
events laid the groundwork for the Second World War. From Germany's side, the issues can be
traced all the way back to the Treaty of Versailles, signed on June 28th, 1919. The main treaty
architects were American President Woodrow Wilson, French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau,
and United Kingdom Prime Minister Lloyd George. The Congress did not allow the United States to
participate in the treaty, and did not allow the U.S. to become part of League of Nations, so France
and England leadership were able to dictate harsh and unfair surrender terms on the German people,
making them accept full responsibilities for the war, removing territory such as the Rhine Land, and
demanding reparations to the tune of $8,000,000,000. The French Government wished to bring

The First World War
The first world war was one of the most brutal and remorseless events in history; 'the global conflict
that defined a century'. Over nine million soldiers and a large amount of innocent civilians lost their
lives. Empires crumbled, revolution engulfed Russia and America rose to become a dominant world
power. Huge armies deployed new weapons of devastating effect from rifles and pistols to torpedoes
and flame throwers. These weapons were used not only in the trenches but by tanks too. This was an
advantage to those who were able to access such machinery as they could easily launch bullets and
missiles at nearby enemy bases. The downfall of the tank was the fact it was unable to cross the
trenches. Tanks were not the only pieces of equipment that could access this machinery but U boats
and planes too. The British carried 'bolt action rifles' in which fired 15 rounds per minute at a
minimum range of 1,400 metres away. This allowed the British to take out foes at a far greater
range. By using machinery in which rules out the need for getting up close to the enemy was a great
advantage during world war one. Soldiers ran from trench to trench attacking with all that they had.
This resulted in a massacre as the soldiers running toward the trenches were shot down. Machinery
such as machine guns and heavy artillery were the weapons used in the trenches. In modern day
society, machine guns are the main weapons used by soldiers. This wasn't the case around the 1914s.

The Catalyst for the First World War
The origins of the First World War are diverse, complicated and widely debated among historians,
especially concerning the liability of Germany. Between 1871 and 1914, there are several elements
that have contributed to destabilize the balance of European powers. Imperialism adopted by
European countries, especially in Africa, the rise of Germany, which build up the development of
alliances between States and the expansion of nationalist movements are the main elements. 1)
Germany, a new European power The rise of Germany is one of the major elements that increased
tensions between European states. Indeed, the Prussian victory over France in 1871, allowed the
unification of Germany and the founding of a new power in Europe. The fact that Germany wanted
to act as a military and economic power developed fear of other European countries, and thus
influenced Diplomatic Relations. Between 1890 and 1914, the German population rose from 49 to
66 million inhabitants. In addition, Germany exported more steel than France, Russia and Britain
combined and was the second largest coal producer in Europe, behind Britain. The strength of
German industry allowed to increase the military capabilities of the country which had, in addition,
a well–trained and equipped army. Germany had, just before the outbreak of war, the second world
fleet, behind Britain. The foreign policy of Germany was conducted by Otto von Bismarck, the first

The First World War, Canada
2. By the end of the First World War, Canada was employing German translators with Telegraph
operators to intercept and decipher German wireless traffic. Despite their success, this capability
was not maintained. In 1939, with the German invasion of Poland, the Canadian Army quickly stood
up a number of Special Wireless Units, to act at the tactical and strategic levels. The static Wireless
stations were positioned throughout Canada and the smaller mobile "B" units operated in close
proximity to the frontlines throughout Western Europe and Italy.
In early 1944, there was a call from the Allies in the Pacific, namely India and Australia, for Canada
to assist with monitoring Imperial Japanese wireless traffic. This resulted in the formation of
1CSWG in Aug 1944, outside of Victoria, B.C. The secretive nature of the unit, and its participation
in the Pacific war remained a secret until 1976, when members of the unit were finally awarded the
Pacific Star for their service. Destruction of many of the official records related to the unit have
resulted in much of its history being lost. As a result, many Canadians, even in the CAF, are

The Importance Of Assimilation Into First World Country...
Immigration into a First World country other than one's own creates a border between one and the
country they now reside in. Immigrants come into these countries knowing that they will be seen as
aliens and foreigners to people already living there. In order to become socially accepted by the
community, assimilation becomes the only solution they possess to feel better about themselves.
Assimilation into First World country cultures disrupts the flow of cultural knowledge, which causes
cultural alienation, resulting in traditional customs to be left in ruins, therefore integration of
cultures rather than assimilating to First World country traditions becomes a better way of life.
Initially, assimilation can be seen as the process when people of different backgrounds end up
resembling a new culture other than their own with hopes to become socially accepted. This process
eventually results in people ridding themselves from their own true heritage and cultural identity.
For example, Jay Patel, an Indian of the new generation immigrated to the United States with his
family when he had 2 years old. Patel describes his experience coming into America at first as
changing to his own Indian lifestyle. His family sent him back to India before grade school in order
for Jay to build a strong cultural foundation. When returning to America and attending grade school,
Patel needed to assimilate to the American culture so he feels more comfortable and not as an

When discussing the First World War, there are a myriad of topics, theories and debates that can be
brought up, especially when its regarding to its breakout and and what lead to it. There are multiple
direct and indirect causes that all are interconnected with one another, making it very difficult to just
discuss about one topic without it overlapping with another completely different topic. One of the
most unquestionable causes that lead to the outbreak of the war was the alliance system that was

When a nation's hunger for power and control become too great, the nation may be pushed to do
things that may have harsh consequences. This was the case in the early 1900's when the world
engaged in its first major global military conflict. There were a number of causes of the First World
War; due to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany accepted full responsibility for the war. Although the
Germans had a large contribution in starting the war, they should not be fully held accountable for

France had plans of its own; they wanted to quickly overtake Germany's industrial heartland, Ruhr
Valley. France felt that if they could get into Ruhr Valley they could lower the Germany's chance to
start a modern war. The Russians planned on preparing their army for a war against the armies of
both Austria–Hungary and Germany. The pressure that each one of these plans put on the other
nations led to a war where speed was a major determining factor in the victor of the war. Once each
army began mobilization, turning back was no longer an option and the war became more inevitable
than ever. A new innovation that brought the ongoing naval battle between the major powers was the
introduction of the dreadnought. The threat of the new more powerful battleship started a race to see
who could produce the most dreadnoughts and control the sea. The pride of each nation became a
contributing factor in the war; all the major powers felt they could reign supreme and that is exactly
what they all tried to do.
One of the dominant influencing factors of the war, according to the president of the United States at
the time (Woodrow Wilson) and many others, was militarism. Military personnel had too much
power in nations such as Germany, Russia, and Austria–Hungary. Surely this could not be blamed
solely on Germany as a nation, this type of military based mindset could not be blamed on any

The Causes of the First World War
This question has formed part of the historiography of the causes of the First World War, a historical
debate that has endured ever since the conflict ended. It periodically resurfaces with new theories
being advanced such as the Fischer thesis, usually on account of the release of previously unseen
documents or because of a shift in the political climate. It has emerged to the fore once again
because this year is the centennial of the war's outbreak and there are plans to commemorate it
nationally across the UK. In order to fully understand how Britain's decision to go to war against
Germany is best explained one must engage into the debate revolving around the question of the
extent to which Britain and other countries were responsible for causing war. This helps explain the
intention Britain had for war which is vital in understanding their decision making process to cause
war in the first place. Some schools of thought have come to the conclusion that it was everybody or
nobody– the continent "slithered over the brink into the boiling cauldron of war without any trace of
apprehension or dismay."1 That analysis will be considered in this essay as will the widespread
thesis that it was Germany's aggression which not only created the preconditions for war, but also

First source: World Hunger Today, almost one person of every seven does not get the nutritious food
they need in order to be healthy and obtain the energy they need throughout each day. 70% of the
starving population are women and children. Hunger can be just as bad as AIDS or malaria but yet is
solvable. It is possible to feed every person in the world and no scientific breakthroughs needed. We
can solve the problem with today's knowledge, tools and policies. The most common cause of
starvation is the economy. Poor people sometimes cannot afford to purchase foods or even a home to
support themselves or their family. Another cause could be due to diseases that can cause rapid
weight loss such as a parasite, which is a host in the stomach that eats everything you need and
causes you to lack all those things you needed. There are insufficient scientific data on exactly how
long you can live without consuming food. Most people would likely die within 3–4 days without
drinking water and eating food, but according to Health write, Jan Modric, studies indicate that
some people are able to fast (going without eating food, only drinking water) up to 40 days.

Most wars leave a huge impact on the history of that nation, especialy if it involves more than one. In 1914, long–standing rivalries among European nations exploded into war. World War one, as it is now called, cost millions of lives. Such a war, has left a deep intentaion on the American history. There were three very important causes of World War One; Nationalism, Militarism, and Imperialism ( Davidson, Castillo, Stoff, page 570).

In time, 21 other nations joined the Allies. When war broke out in Europe, the United States was determined to stay neutral to avoid being dragged into the conflict that would clearly tear apart any nation who was involved. While neutral, the Americas supplied other countries with weapons in order to gain money. This all changed wen President Woodrow Wilson recepted the Zimmerman Telegram. This was a telegram from Germany urging Mexico to attack the United States. In return, Germany promised that they would help Mexico win back its "lost provinces" in the American South west. President Wilson could not longer keep the peace, so he went before congress and asked for a declaration of war. On April 6 of 1917, the president signed the declaration of war. It thrust Americans into the deadliest war the world had yet seen(Davidson, Castillo, Stoff, page 578). The first American troops reached France in June of 1917. They quickly saw the desperate situation if the Allies, they had lost millions of solders, and the troops in the trenches were exhausted and ill. Many of the civilians were near starvation.

The space race continued when the Soviet Union launched the Soviet R–7 intercontinental ballistic missile launched Sputnik. The Soviet R–7 was the world's first artificial satellite and the first man–made object to be placed into the Earth's orbit. In 1958 the United States launched a satellite named the Apollo 1.

July 16th 1969, U.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins set off on the Apollo 11 space mission it was the first lunar landing attempt. After the successful landing Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk the moon. When Neil Armstrong landed on the moon the United States won the space race. The Soviet Union had a total of 4 failed attempts like the launch–pad explosion in July 1969 and the failed launch in 1968. Astronauts came to be seen as the ultimate American heroes, and earth–bound men and women enjoyed living vicariously through them. After the space race the Soviet Union still attempted to land on the moon and on August 8th 1969 they launched a unmanned rocket with the name of Zond 7 that finally orbited the moon. In 1970 the Soviet Union launched An automated rover named Lunokhod 1. For the US they had the Apollo 13 mission. The Apollo 13 mission left earth on April 11, 1970 and it was going well until 55 hours in the mission the oxygen tank exploded and the moon mission turned quickly into a rescue mission and they only had its radio and rocket engines in order to make it back home.

Both of these significant, historical events were substantially affected by the interaction of dominating societies during this time period. During the First World War, these leading societies were the European authorities of Britain, Germany, and Austria, with slight assistance from the U.S. However, the United States allocated their full engagement during the Second World War. Eventually, with years to come, the United States would become one of the primary superpowers. Although these two wars were notably different from political, social, and economic views, both of these event shared numerous similarities. One of the main causes of both World Wars was the concept of imperialism. During World War I, the Germans, the French, and the British were in competition to create the world 's best, most significant and substantial empire. With the thought of imperialistic ways, the German would ally with the Austrians, and the British would ally with the French. In World War II, Adolf Hitler was in hopes of making expansions to the Third Reich. He decided to expand this society in hopes that he could incorporate "all German speaking– peoples." Imperialism relates to both of the historically significant events. It recurred within the German, Britain, and France. Due to this, the size of the militaries increased within these three societies. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Statistics show that over one third of military related deaths were caused by a disease/illness of some sort. To put that in more of a numerical visual, there were about ten million casualties in the span of World War I, this is excluding civilians, only military personnel. Of that ten million, about two million deaths were caused by disease/illness (Nadège Mougel, 2009). This number could me more, but about six million soldiers were reported as missing, or presumed dead. So let's start out by medically defining what a disease is.

As many as twenty–thousand casualties were said to have suffered by the British Army alone. The cause to this infection of the feet was quite obvious. Trench warfare become most prominent during WWI, this was a type of warfare fought on land that consisted of seven foot deep, six foot wide tunnels dug into the earth to protect from enemy fire. These first came about when German General Erich von Falkenhayn commanded his troops to start digging to protect themselves from the oncoming French and British troops. The allies, after realizing they could not break through the German line, began to dig trenches as well (John Simpkin, 1997). Because of being the first to start digging their trenches, this gave the Germans the advantage of choosing the location to start digging. They of course, chose the high ground. This was a good decision based on a military tactical standpoint, as well as an advantage when it came to the living conditions of the soldiers (Simpkin, 1997). The deeper the British troops dug, the more water would begin to flood the trenches. The trench conditions were so bad that some soldiers even preferred to sleep outside the trenches, in plain view of their enemies and in a bullets trajectory. One soldier named Arnold Ridley ...

Siam in the First World War At the outbreak of the war in August of 1914, which merely 4 years after ascending to the Throne in 1910, the King Vajiravudh monitoring and was well informed about development of the war in Europe. Prior to Siam joined the war the king Vajiravudh observed that Siam was geographically so remote from the war and he was rightly in thinking that it was wise for Siam to maintain strict and impartial neutrality. The reason behind this decision was due to the fact that there were danger signs of the threats to Siamese independence especially during the early years of the reign. As can be see from the last decade of nineteenth century Siam was the only independent country in the South East Asia that was surrounded by British and French colonies from east to west. The incident at 'Pak Nam', in 1893, in which French brought the gun boats from their colonies in Indo–China to the 'Mae Nam' and trained the guns on the King's Palace in Bangkok, were still fresh in the mine of people in Siam. As a result of this conflicted Siam had to cede to France the right bank of Mae Khong River which included Loung Pra Bang followed by the whole of Cambodia which included Phra Vuhear temple in 1907 after signed Entente Cordiale agreement of 1907. As well as these Siam also ceded Kedah, Kelanton, Trangkanu and Perlis to Britain in 1909. Until about 1910s Germany became a new competitor on colonial affairs, and show increased influence in Siam.

Events ended with both cast and audience uniting in the anthems of Rule, Britannia and Advance Australia Fair reflecting strong nationalist and patriot emotions. However, evidence has been uncovered to suggest that this was not the correct image as there are hints to imply that not all Australians felt this way, for example even though many men tried to enlist, there were many that did not which led to incidences of white feathers being sent to the men that did not rush to enlist and also of women rejecting and abusing these men.

This was done through National Selective Service that set up the Random Lottery Program that registered men within 21–30 years to the military. Secondly, the War Industries Board overlooked the production of raw materials and the Food Administration agency coordinated the conservation of food. Also, the Railroad Administration rationed oil and coal use while the Committee on Public Information fueled propaganda that worked in support of the American troops (Tindall, 2016). Finally, the National Labor Board thwarted any strikes that would interfere with the war. Events after U.S Entry into the War Firstly, the entry of the Americans demoralized the Central Powers since they provided resources regarding manpower, food and ammunition to the British, French and Allied Forces.

Those five supremacies were Great Britain, France, the German Empire, the Austro–Hungarian Empire, and Russia. This paper will be discussing the escalation of imperialism, nationalism, and militarism in the German Empire throughout the fifty years leading up to the First World War and describing how each of these said characteristics led to the German Empire going to war with and against the other said supremacies. To start out, imperialism is the arrangement when an influential nation controls and exploits a colony or colonies. The most communal circumstance for imperialism is when the imperialist nation inaugurates control over the newfound terrain through intimidation and force. After the colony or colonies are subjugated, the territory is then claimed as a colony of the imperialist nation. The imperialist nation is frequently denoted to as the 'mother country' of the colony or colonies it has taken over. The imperialist nation 'gives birth' to a new colony, hence the name 'mother country' of the colony. The colonial governments are functioned by the imperial nation or a subservient puppet regime. The manifestation of a military power is often positioned in the colony or colonies to regulate the native inhabitants–who justifiably do not appreciate being taken over–, to deal with any insurrections that transpire, and to dissuade imperial competitors.

Introduction Of The First World War Introduction to the First World War In the context of the First World War, we need to consider the question: 'Are we as a nation so transfixed by the Gallipoli campaign that we have failed to look at what was happening elsewhere during the First World War? There is a strong case to be made that Gallipoli has over the past hundred years, overshadowed the real stage on which the war was fought – the Western Front. This does a great injustice to the many thousands of Australians who fought and died there. It is time to set the record straight – not to diminish Gallipoli – but to raise the Western Front campaign to the same degree of significance in the Australian psyche and its historic records. Many Australians today would point to the 1915 Gallipoli campaign as the single most defining moment in Australia 's history. Before 1915 at the outbreak of the First World War Australia was widely considered as just a colony of the British Empire. The heroism, courage and 'mateship' portrayed by the ANZACS at Gallipoli has since become a symbol of nationhood of Australia. From this time other countries respected Australian soldiers as a 'force to be reckoned with'/ Politicians have frequently referred to what it means to be Australian was 'written in blood' at ANZAC Cove.

Volunteer work is vital to the growth of society, as money is not abundant for many people. Without it, society as a whole would be much more harsh and bland. For example, many public service workers are volunteers, along with many local actors and shelter – both animal and human – workers. Volunteer work from groups of individuals such as firemen and firewomen, soup kitchen workers, and the Doctors Without Borders organization, is one of the main reasons that societies around the world have advanced to become first world countries.

Since the dawn of capitalism and democracy, humans have seen that not everyone is born into a good life. Many people have to work two, or perhaps even three, jobs in order to make a living. Even then, there is no guarantee that an individual will lead a happy, well–to–do life. As society grows and matures, human civilization will come to accept that volunteering is a necessity. If no one in our communities volunteered, there will be too many people that lead lives of poverty and envy. However, the more that people volunteer, the less amount of people in our communities will struggle in their lives. Whenever people obtain aid in their lives, they are more likely to reciprocate that help later in time. The more aid a person receives, the more opportunities they have to lead a better life in the future. If everyone helped one another in any form or fashion, life would be much better as we know it. We, as a human civilization, have seen repeatedly that people who have lived through hard times are more likely to give back to their communities if they have better lives later on.

With nearly the entire European continent fighting a barbaric and everlasting war, the U.S. had eventually to get involved in order to reinitiate stability to Europe. Ultimately, the U.S. taking involvement in World War I had a profound political, economic, and social impact on the country. It increased government powers and solidified the nation's leadership role in foreign politics. The U.S. emerged as the world 's greatest industrial power with increasing financial opportunities for minorities. At the same time anti–immigrant and anti– communist sentiments arose among many American citizens. And finally the war contributed to the massive migration of African Americans from the Southern to Northern states looking for employment and freedom and, first time allowed women to participate in jobs that were traditionally reserved for men. Initially, U.S. politicians and citizens had differing opinions of whether or not they should take action in the war. Although many in society and congress disapproved war, Wilson eventually managed to get the approval and set forth the first drafting law, the Selective Service Act.

They were the largest military conflicts in human history. Both wars involved military alliances between different groups of countries. World War I was centered on Europe. The world warring nations were divided into two groups namely 'The Central Powers' and 'The Allied Powers'. The central powers group consisted of Germany, Austria–Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. The Allied powers group consisted of France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and (from 1917) the U.S. World War II, the opposing alliances are now referred to as 'The Axis' and 'The Allies'. The Axis group consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Allies group consisted of France, Britain, the U.S., the Soviet Union, and China. World War II was especially heinous because of the genocide of Jewish people perpetrated by the Nazis. The causes of World War I were six. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on 28 June 1914, the heir to the throne of Austria–Hungary was the trigger for the war. He was killed by Serbian nationalists. Austria–Hungary invaded Serbia. At same time Germany invaded Belgium, Luxembourg and France. Russia attacked Germany.

Unlike grenades, flamethrowers could "neutralize" (i.e. burn alive) enemy soldiers in these confined spaces without inflicting structural damage." These flamethrowers were used to clear out large spaces in the trenches and chain deaths. The fires would spread quickly and incapacitate and kill the enemy.

  • 29. World War 1 : The Causes Of The First World War World War 1 was a global conflict that lasted 4 years, and included the most powerful nations in the world. The war started in July of 1914, and ended four years later. At the end of the war, 70 million militants were involved, where a large percentage of them were Europeans. Millions of militants and civilians died during the war. The deaths were partly contributed to by technological and industrial advancements in some of the nations that were involved. The First World War is unarguably one of the deadliest conflicts in human civilizations. Unresolved conflicts among contributing nations resulted in another deadly conflict two decades later, the Second World War. The reasons that caused the eruption of the conflict that later became the First World War have been recorded by numerous historians. The war started after a young man from Serbia assassinated a man who was the heir to the throne of Austria–Hungary. The man was Franz Ferdinand, and he was killed together with his wife as they moved through the streets of Sarajevo. The Serbian killer, Gavrilo Princip, is believed to have had ties with an undercover military group, the Black Hand. The assassination took place on June 28, 1914. The deaths of Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophia, were partly contributed to by the failure of the security team that protected the highly regarded couple. There were rumors before the assassination of an Austrian plan to remove the Archduke and invade his country. On the material day, the Archduke had travelled to Sarajevo to inspect the imperial militaries that were based in Bosnia and Herzegovina . The assassination provoked conflict between the two nations, Serbia and Austria–Hungary. However, the declaration of war by Austria–Hungary was put off until they were assured that Germany would assist them in the war in case of Russia joined forces with Serbia. Russia had two powerful allies; France and Britain. Major European players divided themselves into two major groups as they formed alliances around the two warring parties. Austria–Hungary blamed Serbia for the attack and declared war on Serbia the same day that the Archduke was assassinated . The report from Germany that they would support Austria–Hungary came on ...

Some of these weapons included tanks, chemical and biochemical weapons, grenades, and machine guns. Chemical Warfare was used for the first time on a large scale in World War I. There are two main types of chemical warfare, one affects the surface of the body they come in contact with and the other affects the nervous system. Almost all chemical warfare weapons needed to be inhaled to cause severe damage or death. Chemicals that caused neurological damage acted by blocking the transmission of nerve messages throughout the body, these types of chemicals included tabun, soman, sarin, and VX ("Chemical and Biological ...

Nerve agents work by blocking the transmission of nerve messages within the body ("Chemical and Biological Warfare"). "A single drop of nerve agent can shut down the entire body's nervous system in a few minutes" ("Chemical and Biological Warfare"). Tanks were first used in combat in September of 1916 by the British ("The WW1 Tank"). When tanks were first created they were basically an armored car with a track instead of tires for easier off road use. The first prototypes of tanks were very flawed and would take a lot of improvements to become what they are today. They were not well adapted to moving over uneven muddy battle fields so the tanks were easily bogged down by mud and sometimes got completely stuck. Tanks were not only effective by their protective properties but also had a scare factor towards the beginning of the war since they were new and the German army had not experienced them in battle before. View slits were one of the main problems with the first tanks. For one they were too small to be able to effectively see anything out of them while the tank was moving. And the slits were targets for enemy gunshot. The name tank came from the British, they shipped the parts for tanks in crates marked "tanks" to try and disguise what was ...

Many people believe, that the First World War was caused by the assassination of the heir to the empire of Austria–Hungry, Arch–Duke Franz Ferdinand. However, I believe, there were many other more important causes that could have started the war. For example: the rivalry of countries, the alliances (Triple Entente and Triple Alliance), the industries of Britain and Germany, Militarism, Rivalry and many more.

From the beginning, the Austrians suspected that Serbia, an independant country and rival of Austria–Hungry, was behind the killing. This was said to have been the most inportant cause that triggered the war, because of the already intense rivalry between the two countries. Moreover, the navy of Britain was massive, to protect the ships sailing to and from countries in the British empire. When Germany started to build a big navy, Britain was worried. Germany would pose as a major military threat if they also had a big, powerful navy like Britain. They might invade British ships that importing goods etc. Basically, a big German navy is a big threat to Britain's industry and its empire. The fight for land too was intense, one of the states of Germany had taken some land from France when they defeated them in the Franco–Prussian war in 1871. This made France look weak, and made them, embrassed. France was angry and wanted their land back. This also further heightened the rivalry of France and Germany. The alliances, played a major role in causing the first world war, there were two alliances: the Triple Entente, was signed between France, Russia and Britain in 1907, there was also the Triple Alliance was singed between Germany, Italy and Austria– Hungary in 1882.

It is shown to be a revolutionary advancement from the old war style that featured hand–to–hand combat and only minimal use of comparably incompetent mechanic weapons. The improvement of these war technologies was so huge and their powers were overlooked. These new inventions had also brought unexpected horror to the soldiers serving in the war. The estimated deaths in both military and citizens were 16.5 million ("Casualties | WW1 Facts", 2016). Therefore, the First World War is a war, much more horrific compared to previous wars, because a mass number of people were killed due to inventions of modern weapons like machine guns and poison gas which were used in an industrial scale. Before the First World War, one of the more popular firearm used in previous wars were the Vickers gun.

The main treaty architects were American President Woodrow Wilson, French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, and United Kingdom Prime Minister Lloyd George. The Congress did not allow the United States to participate in the treaty, and did not allow the U.S. to become part of League of Nations, so France and England leadership were able to dictate harsh and unfair surrender terms on the German people, making them accept full responsibilities for the war, removing territory such as the Rhine Land, and demanding reparations to the tune of $8,000,000,000.

Over nine million soldiers and a large amount of innocent civilians lost their lives. Empires crumbled, revolution engulfed Russia and America rose to become a dominant world power. Huge armies deployed new weapons of devastating effect from rifles and pistols to torpedoes and flame throwers. These weapons were used not only in the trenches but by tanks too. This was an advantage to those who were able to access such machinery as they could easily launch bullets and missiles at nearby enemy bases. The downfall of the tank was the fact it was unable to cross the trenches. Tanks were not the only pieces of equipment that could access this machinery but U boats and planes too. The British carried 'bolt action rifles' in which fired 15 rounds per minute at a minimum range of 1,400 metres away. This allowed the British to take out foes at a far greater range. By using machinery in which rules out the need for getting up close to the enemy was a great advantage during world war one. Soldiers ran from trench to trench attacking with all that they had.

Imperialism adopted by European countries, especially in Africa, the rise of Germany, which build up the development of alliances between States and the expansion of nationalist movements are the main elements. 1) Germany, a new European power The rise of Germany is one of the major elements that increased tensions between European states. Indeed, the Prussian victory over France in 1871, allowed the unification of Germany and the founding of a new power in Europe. The fact that Germany wanted to act as a military and economic power developed fear of other European countries, and thus influenced Diplomatic Relations. Between 1890 and 1914, the German population rose from 49 to 66 million inhabitants. In addition, Germany exported more steel than France, Russia and Britain combined and was the second largest coal producer in Europe, behind Britain. The strength of German industry allowed to increase the military capabilities of the country which had, in addition, a well–trained and equipped army.

Despite their success, this capability was not maintained. In 1939, with the German invasion of Poland, the Canadian Army quickly stood up a number of Special Wireless Units, to act at the tactical and strategic levels. The static Wireless stations were positioned throughout Canada and the smaller mobile "B" units operated in close proximity to the frontlines throughout Western Europe and Italy. In early 1944, there was a call from the Allies in the Pacific, namely India and Australia, for Canada to assist with monitoring Imperial Japanese wireless traffic. This resulted in the formation of 1CSWG in Aug 1944, outside of Victoria, B.C. The secretive nature of the unit, and its participation in the Pacific war remained a secret until 1976, when members of the unit were finally awarded the Pacific Star for their service.

  • 64. The Importance Of Assimilation Into First World Country... Immigration into a First World country other than one's own creates a border between one and the country they now reside in. Immigrants come into these countries knowing that they will be seen as aliens and foreigners to people already living there. In order to become socially accepted by the community, assimilation becomes the only solution they possess to feel better about themselves. Assimilation into First World country cultures disrupts the flow of cultural knowledge, which causes cultural alienation, resulting in traditional customs to be left in ruins, therefore integration of cultures rather than assimilating to First World country traditions becomes a better way of life. Initially, assimilation can be seen as the process when people of different backgrounds end up resembling a new culture other than their own with hopes to become socially accepted. This process eventually results in people ridding themselves from their own true heritage and cultural identity. For example, Jay Patel, an Indian of the new generation immigrated to the United States with his family when he had 2 years old. Patel describes his experience coming into America at first as changing to his own Indian lifestyle. His family sent him back to India before grade school in order for Jay to build a strong cultural foundation.

The world was a place where only the strongest nations could thrive and expand. The major powers of Europe were all doing whatever it took to gain power, wealth, and control different areas of land; this caused ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... France had plans of its own; they wanted to quickly overtake Germany's industrial heartland, Ruhr Valley. France felt that if they could get into Ruhr Valley they could lower the Germany's chance to start a modern war. The Russians planned on preparing their army for a war against the armies of both Austria–Hungary and Germany. The pressure that each one of these plans put on the other nations led to a war where speed was a major determining factor in the victor of the war. Once each army began mobilization, turning back was no longer an option and the war became more inevitable than ever. A new innovation that brought the ongoing naval battle between the major powers was the introduction of the dreadnought. The threat of the new more powerful battleship started a race to see who could produce the most dreadnoughts and control the sea. The pride of each nation became a contributing factor in the war; all the major powers felt they could reign supreme and that is exactly what they all tried to do. One of the dominant influencing factors of the war, according to the president of the United States at the time (Woodrow Wilson) and many others, was militarism. Military personnel had too much power in nations such as Germany, Russia, and Austria–Hungary. Surely this could not be blamed solely on Germany as a nation, this type of military based mindset could not be blamed on any single nation in particular, and it was just the way things were run in ...

  • 72. The Causes of the First World War This question has formed part of the historiography of the causes of the First World War, a historical debate that has endured ever since the conflict ended. It periodically resurfaces with new theories being advanced such as the Fischer thesis, usually on account of the release of previously unseen documents or because of a shift in the political climate. It has emerged to the fore once again because this year is the centennial of the war's outbreak and there are plans to commemorate it nationally across the UK. In order to fully understand how Britain's decision to go to war against Germany is best explained one must engage into the debate revolving around the question of the extent to which Britain and other countries were responsible for causing war. This helps explain the intention Britain had for war which is vital in understanding their decision making process to cause war in the first place. Some schools of thought have come to the conclusion that it was everybody or nobody– the continent "slithered over the brink into the boiling cauldron of war without any trace of apprehension or dismay."1 That analysis will be considered in this essay as will the widespread thesis that it was Germany's aggression which not only created the preconditions for war, but also triggered Britain into war with the political imbalance of power being created from the growing naval and colonial expansion of Germany.

  • 74. How Did The First World War Change The World According to a study done by USA TODAY in 1999, World War I was ranked eighth in the top one hundred news stories of the twentieth century. The First World War was and still is one of the most historical wars to go down in history, changing the world forever. It was the first time there was a global conflict and with the introduction of new technology, millions of soldiers and civilians lost their lives. The Great War would haunt and alter the world for decades, becoming a catalyst to so many historical events to come after it. The four year long war did not end with the signing of the treaty of Versailles, it sent the world into shambles and lived on by affecting the world socially, politically, economically, psychologically and culturally. In the poems "A War Film" by Teresa Hooley, "Dulce Et Decorum Est" by Wilfred Owen, "Education" by Pauline Barrington, "They" by Siegfried Sassoon and "Disabled" by Wilfred Owen, these effects of World War I are explored. During the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... – Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning (9–14). The disturbing imagery in the poem just reveals how death by poisonous gas must look. An appalling new way to murder soldiers from opposing countries, this gas was incredibly destructive. Gas was the most feared weapon of choice by soldiers in WWI. These innovations changed how every single war to come after The Great War was fought. The poem "Education" by Pauline Barrington speaks of a change in the culture and society after The Great War. A mother watches her children playing with army toys, wondering what was happening with the children of that age as they mimic a battle, one son: Has shot and wounded his small brother. While you dream Over your seam. The blood is slipping, dripping drop by drop; The men are dying in the trenches' mud (Barrington ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 76. First Source : World Hunger First source: World Hunger Today, almost one person of every seven does not get the nutritious food they need in order to be healthy and obtain the energy they need throughout each day. 70% of the starving population are women and children. Hunger can be just as bad as AIDS or malaria but yet is solvable. It is possible to feed every person in the world and no scientific breakthroughs needed. We can solve the problem with today's knowledge, tools and policies. The most common cause of starvation is the economy. Poor people sometimes cannot afford to purchase foods or even a home to support themselves or their family. Another cause could be due to diseases that can cause rapid weight loss such as a parasite, which is a host in the stomach that eats everything you need and causes you to lack all those things you needed. There are insufficient scientific data on exactly how long you can live without consuming food. Most people would likely die within 3–4 days without drinking water and eating food, but according to Health write, Jan Modric, studies indicate that some people are able to fast (going without eating food, only drinking water) up to 40 days. Fortunately, there are solutions to help improve this world wide issue. Organizations help transform agriculture. Organizations such as Feeding America funds projects so that people can create their own steady supply of food. The Feeding America network is our nation's largest domestic hunger relief organization and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The New World: The First Nations The First Nations were nomadic hunter–gatherers who treated the land with respect, this was before the Europeans came and introduced them to new ways of life while slowly trying to rid them of their culture. The First Nations were welcoming and provided assistance to the Europeans. The two groups began to trade and enter into treaties with one another. The First Nations saw treaties differently than the Europeans. They believed that the treaties were a way of guaranteeing a future between the two groups, they would be protected by the Crown and that they would share the land with the Europeans. Little did the First Nations know that by signing the treaties, they would also be signing away all of their land.The Europeans did not treat the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
