1. World War I ( Wwi )
World War I (WWI) had many main events from 1914 – 1918. It was known as the Great War and
the war to end all wars. It also introduced us to many new technology to including Barbed wire,
machine guns, artillery, poison gas, airships, aircraft 's, new naval vessels and tanks. All these
wartime machines and equipment resulted in unprecedented carnage and destruction, with more
than 9 million soldiers killed by the end of the war. This First World War or the Great War, was a
global war centered in Europe. This global conflict pitted 2 groups against each other "The Allied
Powers" and "The Central Powers". The Allied Powers was made up of Great Britain, France,
Russia, Italy and The United States. Important people that were known for the Allied Powers were
Herbert Henry Asquith, Prime Minister (UK), Woodrow Wilson (U.S. President), Aristide Briand,
Prime Minister (France), and Prime Minister (France). The Central Powers was made up of
Germany, the Austrian–Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. Important people that
were known for the Central Powers were Prince Max Von Baden, Chancellor (Germany), Heinrich
Von Clam–Martinic, and Prime Minister (Austria). The First World War started off with a "BANG"

2. The War Of The World War I
It's been over a century since Austria declared war on Serbia. The assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, sparked a war that was to end all others. It clearly did not.
Countless wars and conflicts have been fought since each evolving into something different than the
last. As a result, modern warfare has evolved into something completely different than that of a
century ago. Although war is fought for fundamentally the same reasons, warfare, as it is practiced
today, is different from that of World War I. This is primarily due to the rise of counterinsurgency
operations, the focus on air superiority and the use of technology, such as unmanned aerial vehicles,
which have led to the decline of mass army against army war. Characterized by the declaration of
war, the amassing of vast battlefield formations, and the use of new technologies, such as the
machine gun and airplane, World War I was the epitome of conventional war. The myriad of
alliances across Europe in the early 20th century allowed military leaders to carefully craft offensive
plans of war focused on the weaknesses of known enemies and designed to swiftly defeat opposing
military forces. For example, Germany's Schlieffen Plan "assumed that the Reich could only win a
two–front war by crushing France before Russia could mobilize." Capitalizing on the lightly
defended French north, a result of France's assumption that Belgium's neutrality would not be
violated,

Unit 3 Notebook Essay
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
managed to get the approval and set forth the first drafting law, the Selective Service Act. Indeed,
there were still many anti–war protests reoccurring and therefore, the government set up the nation

4. The War Of World War I
Although all countries should be blamed for World War I, Germany did the most to provoke the war
to its extremes by attempting to send the Zimmerman Telegram to Mexico, which would result in
conflict with the United States of America. In 1917, Germany attempted to send the Zimmerman
Telegram to Mexico, which would try to persuade them in joining their side of the war by promising
them they would help Mexico take back the territory and states they had lost in the Mexican
American War that occurred from 1846 to 1848. Since Mexico had lost around a third of their
territory from the Mexican Cession including Texas, New Mexico, and California, where gold was
discovered shortly after it was appropriated, the offer from Germany would have been too good to
ignore. Nevertheless, British cryptographers had intercepted the secret message before it was able to
reach Mexico and showed it to America. The Zimmerman Telegram spurred outraged Americans to
join the war against Germany on April 6, 1917 on the Allies' side because they were angry that
Germany would pull such a deal behind their backs.The boost of America joining the Allies' side
refreshed the Allies' morale to resume their ceaseless warfare and the war became more extreme
with the addition of the powerful nation (Lecture, 12/3/14). America's steel industry dominated any
other country in size, so they were able to provide tons of weapons and ammunition like machine

5. World War I : The Cause And Causes Of World War I
The Accumulation of Clashing Nations
The assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the archduke of Austria, was a memorable event in Europe's
history, for it arguably was the direct cause to the beginning of World War I. Because of this historic
event and the complicated string of alliances throughout Europe, conflict arose across the continent.
Common contributing factors to conflict consisted of increased nationalism of nations, militarism,
and territorial disputes. With this combination of contributing factors, World War I began. Prior to
the beginning of the war and at its initial starting point in 1914, it was mostly a European issue.
However, as time went on, other nations outside of Europe became involved in the conflict and
chose sides to fight on. Finally, by the end, the war became a global conflict because it involved and
affected many nations all over the world. Despite the initial involvement of solely European forces
in World War I, the war continued to progress and further conflicts arose, leading to a global conflict
involving nations worldwide. World War I began as a complete European conflict, involving
Europe's strongest powers. First, in the years prior to the beginning of the war, there were many
European nations already making alliances and choosing sides. Because of territorial disputes, the
Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente were formed as alliance groups to back those in each in case
of conflict. The main powers were Germany, Austria–Hungary, and Italy

"World War 1 is considered as one of the greatest events of the 20th century where the war lasted for
more than four years, occurring from 1914 to 1918 with over thirty–eight million casualties"(Lohr,
2014). The cause of the war has been debated for decades but it is assumed the assassination of
Franz Ferdinand by the Serb on June 1914 could have triggered the war. Besides there are certain
forces that caused the war such as nationalism, imperialism and military power as many countries
believed in economic and military supremacy. Pan–Slavism was a movement that was aimed at
uniting all Slave people in the mid–19th century. The movement had its roots based on the romantic
nationalism, which based its concept on ethnicity were considered a feature of national identity
causing tension of war. This essay discusses some of the reasons America remained neutral to the
war. Then, later joining the Great War in 1917 and seeing it through to the end. Consequently, it
discusses issues revolving around the Treaty of Versailles and the role President Woodrow Wilson
played during the era of the war.
"The outbreak of World War 1 was greatly influenced by the increase in military power, imperialism
and nationalisms. The European nation believed in the economic and military supremacy of their

The Four Minute Men where a public relations group that worked for the government around the
time of World War I (WWI). They would manipulate information at of the war and then share that
information with the public. One of the 75,000 would share this information during the reel changes
at the movie, which was about four minutes, thus the name (Guth & Marsh. 2012. pg. 66).
Sometimes instead of a person delivering that message they would produce small feature to get the
point across, such as Pershing's Crusaders and Under Four Flags (Guth & Marsh. 2012. pg. 66).
These men motivated people to become active in this war by manipulating information to the
benefit of the people thus creating a historical impact that would change the way the public see
public relations. Merriam– Webster dictionary defines them as "one of a body of men who during
World War I made short speeches especially to promote the sale of government bonds." (Merriam–

World War I, also known as "The Great War," was a war that primarily took place in Europe. It
officially started on the 28th of July in 1914 and it unexpectedly lasted until the 11th of November
in 1918 (about 4 years). The most predominant countries that fought in this war include Great
Britain, France, Russia, and Germany. This war left many people in shock as it surprisingly ended

He was given the rank of lieutenant at the age of 14, captain at 22, colonel at 27, and major general

lodge in Mayerling, Karl Ludwig (Franz Ferdinand's father) was next in line for the place of the
Austro–Hungarian throne, but he later died of typhoid fever in 1896. In 1896, Franz Ferdinand was
the man entitled to inherit the Austro–Hungarian throne. Being an Arch–Duke meant his position
was just lower than a kings'. (Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria)
So how did Austro–Hungarian Arch–Duke die? Back in the day, in the southern part of Austro–
Hungary, was a region called "Bosnia". What differentiated Bosnia from the other regions of Austro
Hungary was the fact that the majority of the Bosnians (people of Bosnia) wanted Bosnia to be its
own state or country, as they didn't want to be under the same system of laws as Austro–Hungary.
When Franz Ferdinand announced his trip to Sarajevo (the biggest and capital city of Bosnia),
Bosnian nationalists (the people that truly believed that Bosnia should be its own country) decided
to take advantage of this opportunity and strike against the Austrian empire. With the assistance of
Serbia, a team of assassins were formed to kill Franz Ferdinand. The group consisted of 7 assassins,

10. World War I : Trenches
World War 1: Trenches Intro: The life for the average soldier in the WW1 trenches was pretty
horrible. They had to live in mud, fellow dead soldiers and lots of rats, some the size of your hand.
Life of a soldier was very tough, having to see your best mate get shot and he left to rot. Any
soldiers that made it out of the war would have suffered either shell shock or post–traumatic stress
disorder and living with either of these would have been terrible. Trenches were long, narrow
ditches dug into the ground where soldiers lived day and night. There were many lines of German
trenches on one side and many lines of the trenches on the allied side. In the middle there was no–
man's land, so called because it didn't belong to either army. Soldiers crossed no– man's land when
they wanted to attack. Soldiers in the trenches did not get much sleep, but when they did it was in
the afternoon during daylight and at night for only 1 hour at a time. They were woken up at different
times, either to complete one of the daily chores or the go to fight. The system of trenches was
employed because a German commander, General Erich von Falkenhayn, decided that his troops
must at all costs hold onto those parts of France and Belgium that Germany still occupied.
Falkenhayn ordered his men to dig trenches that would provide them with protection from the
advancing French and British troops. The Allies soon realised that they could not break through this
line and they also began to dig trenches.

World War I is often called "The Great War". This was because it was the first war to affect such a
large geographical area and involve so many countries. These countries' governments had
complicated relationships with each other and even the people who they governed. This war was
largely unavoidable because of these complicated relationships and diplomacies. The first example
of these relationships were the ones countries at this time had with each other: alliances. An alliance
is an agreement between two or more countries in which they promise support to each other, this
support often relating to military. There were two major alliances that faced off in World War I: the
Central Powers and the Triple Entente. The Central Powers were not always called the Central
Powers; when the Prussian general Otto von Bismarck united Germany in 1871, he was fearful of
the vulnerability of the new united country, and knew he needed alliances. He knew France was not
an option because of the resentment harbored by the French government after Germany annexed the
French province of Alsace–Lorraine, and Britain was not a viable option because of their policy of
"splendid isolation". So, Germany looked instead to the east and formed the Three Emperors' league
with Russia and Austria–Hungary. After the Treaty of Berlin in 1878, Russia decided they were

End All Wars knew World War I as the War. This massive war involved thirty–two countries but a
country that had a very important role was Russia. In the beginning two sides formed, the allies and
the central powers. Russia was the first to mobilize its army because it came to the aid of its ally
Serbia after the assassination of their Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a terrorist group from Austria–
Hungary. In result of Russia mobilizing it's army, Germany, who was in support of Austria–
Hungary, declared war on Russia. Due to the Franco–Russian alliance drafted previously in 1892
France then mobilizes too. Soon after Germany declares war on France, Belgium and Great Britain

Serbs defeat the Austro–Hungarians at the Battle of the Cer the Russian army decides to attack
Germany, advancing to East Prussia. The battle of Russia and Germany was known as the Battle of
Stallupönen on August 17th, 1914, which was the first battle on the Eastern Front. In this first battle

States of America. Armistice Day was the first national recognition and important step towards the

Within weeks, the major powers were at war and the conflict soon spread around the world. On 28
July, the Austro–Hungarians declared war on Serbia and subsequently invaded. As Russia mobilised
in support of Serbia, Germany invaded neutral Belgium and Luxembourg before moving towards
France, leading the United Kingdom to declare war on Germany. After the German march on Paris
was halted, what became known as the Western Front settled into a battle of attrition, with a trench
line that would change little until 1917. Meanwhile, on the Eastern Front, the Russian army was
successful against the Austro–Hungarians, but was stopped in its invasion of East Prussia by the
Germans. In November 1914, the Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers, opening fronts in the
Caucasus, Mesopotamia and the Sinai. Italy joined the Allies in 1915 and Bulgaria joined the
Central Powers in the same year, while Romania joined the Allies in 1916, followed by the United
States in 1917. The Russian government collapsed in March 1917, and a subsequent revolution in

The most essential terms of the Treaty of Versailles were: "War Guilt Clause – Germany should
accept the blame for starting World War One Reparations – Germany had to pay 6,600 million
pounds for the damage caused by the war Disarmament – Germany was only allowed to have a
small army and six naval ships. No tanks, no air force and no submarines were allowed. The
Rhineland area was to be de–militarised.Territorial Clauses – Land was taken away from Germany
and given to other countries. Anschluss (union with Austria) was forbidden" (World War Two–

For the Allies, the settlement had made peace which demilitarized Germany, secured the French
border against assault and made an association to guarantee future world peace, to be known as the
League of Nations. Yet the reaction in Germany against the Versailles was huge. Regional
misfortunes to the new Polish state on the Eastern Front enraged numerous Germans. The
neutralization of the Rhineland and the joining of Germans into the new land of Czechoslovakia

What Were the Conditions Like for the Soldiers in the Trenches?
Trenches were infested with rats, disease and mud. Rats infested the trenches. There were two kinds
of rats– black and brown. Brown rats were the most feared as they gorged on more human flesh and
could grow to the size of a small dogs. This quote describes rats perfectly– Great, sleek, corpse–fed
rats ran in squads between our legs and over our feet as we stood. Their obscene squeaking could be
heard at all times. Some men conceived an unmeasured hatred of these loathsome things, and were
always trying to slaughter them. I wondered, as I stood, did they picture themselves as those
scattered corpses– a prey to these. Imagination is decidedly not good for a soldier. It is one of the

18. The War Of The World War I
World War One is considered to be one of the most important events in modern world history.
Lasting four years and resulting in large numbers of casualties, the war represented a "total war" in
which nations devoted all of the resources at their disposal to the war effort. Before this time, wars
were fought by trained armies sent to fight on a battlefield, and had little impact on the lives of
civilians not involved in the fighting. However, during World War One, governments controlled the
economy, shifting the focus of industry from consumer goods production to the production of goods
that would support the war. All available civilians were put to work either directly in the fighting, or
in support of war activities on the home front. Civilians played a critical role in World War One
through their expression of patriotism and support of government programs, through their purchase
of war bonds, and through the lifestyle changes they made in support of war related activities. As
war broke out across Europe in 1914, civilians enthusiastically supported the war and volunteered
for military service. Between 1914–1916, approximately 2.5 million British citizens volunteered for
the army (Grant 18). However, as the war dragged on, and the risks associated with fighting became
more apparent, the number of volunteers dropped dramatically. In order to have enough soldiers to
supply to the front lines, governments used conscription, a military draft that required men to fight.

19. The Events Of World War I
As is the case with many wars, a foundation has to be set before the situation can escalate into a
fully fledged war. Some concede that ephemeral events just before the outbreak of war are more
inciteful of the fighting rather than long held animosity between nations. Others hold credence in the
idea that wars often begin long before the first shot is fired, with their sole reason for starting being
traced back to previous conflicts and tensions with other countries. The tensions of World War I
could be observed within Europe before the war officially started, as is observed through German
resentment and competition with other countries, along with their dominating foreign policies and
support of their allied nations. The groundwork for World War I was laid down far before the July
Crisis could have any effect on the start of the war. The ticking time bomb that was Europe
contained countries bent on imperialism and maintaining the best situation for themselves, causing
great tensions to form between nations. One such rivalry developed between Germany, known as
Prussia at the time, and France. During the Franco–Prussian War of 1871, Prussia managed to
capture Alsace–Lorraine, a part of France. The French were unsettled by their defeat and loss of
land, determined to reclaim Alsace–Lorraine as a representation of their power and authority in
Europe. This goal led to revanchism in France, where they would "suddenly one day rise [to] regain

the most dangerous, yet exciting things that a man could have ever done. The war would have put a
tremendous amount of physical demands on soldiers, and yet they had to keep fighting even though

War One consisted of three fronts. The Western Front was trench warfare and it was fought on the

soldiers had to come to terms with life in the trenches, including the horrifying stench of rotting
bodies. Men must have suffered seeing dead and dying bodies strewn all over the battlefields, some

Some of the causes of world war one are imperialism, militarism, nationalism, and alliances.
Imperialism is when one country rules over another through establishment of colonies. Imperialism
resulted from Industrialization, which was needed for raw goods and markets for manufactured
goods. The countries fought with each other over colonies. Militarism was used for building a
strong military and in order for that country to have its interests dominate the government. In the
past, war was seen as something that was acceptable to solve conflicts and enhance a country. Some
examples of imperialism include: naval arms race between Great Britain and Germany. Nationalism
is a strong feeling of loyalty and protection of culture and need of ethnic group to have a country
that is their own. Alliances are countries that form cooperative groups in order to protect everyone's
interests. However, the most significant cause of world war one was industrialization, which had
fueled imperialism, and Nationalism. Together they both caused three factors that led to war:
German unification, territorial rivalries, and economic competition.
The Great powers were prepared to participate in the war because in the 15th century, some

The Russian Revolution and World War I

The Russian Revolution, also known as the Bolshevik Revolution, took place in the year 1917. This
revolution was the result of many things, though it majorly began as a revolt by the peasant and
working classes against the current czar, Nicholas II, and the Russian government. It was when the
final czar and his family were killed. This revolution is what led Lenin and the Bolsheviks into
power. It was a major contribution to the spread of communism and ultimately in creating the
communist country of the Soviet Union. Despite all of the effects the revolution had on Russia, how

Soon, they were joined by military officials and soldiers who refused to shoot the crowds. The czar
tried replacing officials in the government, believing that not only would the government approve
more of these officials, but that they would be more effective in handling these issues. This ended
up failing as the new officials were objectively worse than the old ones. In the end these attempts
led to extreme unrest in Russia, making it very easy for people such as Lenin and the Bolsheviks to
come and start the ultimate revolution and take down the current monarchical government. The war
brought with it many economic and militaristic issues that ultimately led to the Bolshevik
Revolution.
The military revolts were a major part of the Russian Revolution, making it very difficult for battles
to be won on the Russian front. This meant they made no major moves either beneficial or
detrimental to either side of the war. Much of this is to the fault of Czar Nicholas II, as, despite
having no prior military experience, he decided to lead the military effort. As mentioned previously,
an estimated fifteen and a half million men were drafted from peasant and working class areas. This
led to many of them being untrained. When they were sent to war, many had to wait months in
barracks just to be trained. Many were trained with broomsticks due to lack of proper weapons and

World War I Tristan Mahler Mrs. Charf U.S. History December 1 2014 Why World War I World
War I known as the war that ended all wars. The war took place between 1914 and 1918. World war
one was inevitable, the whole world was at each other's throats. Most countries were brought into
the war because of the alliances they had with each other. World War 1 happened for many reasons
but its main causes were Germany beginning militarism, nationalism, countries being drawn into
war by their alliances, and the trigger which is the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. Germany
begins militarism was the very first mistake, and many other nations also begin militarism during
the year 1914. Other countries began to build up arms out of fear that Germany would attack. It
wasn't that the nations building up their arms caused them to go to war. The generals of each
country were constantly pressuring their leaders to demand increases in the security spending. They
contributed to the mood of the war. The generals would constantly draw and bring up war plans.
They would say these were the solutions to the country's political problems. The militaristic culture
was strongest in Germany, the German army was formed in old Prussia by the Junkers. A small but

25. World War I : The Cause Of World War I
World War I injured or killed around 40 million soldiers and civilians (Mougel). It is crucial to
assess who was the most responsible for starting this war in order to keep something similar from
happening again. A common mistake is for individuals to view the assassination of Austria–
Hungary's archduke as the cause of World War I. Although this encouraged Austria–Hungary to
wage war on Serbia, this was not a war between two countries. The start of World War I involved a
complex series of steps to bring Germany, Great Britain, France, Russia, Serbia, Austria–Hungary,
and many other countries into the conflict. It is impossible to blame one country for this awful event
in history, but Germany had the largest impact on the start of World War I. By committing strategic
diplomatic errors, pledging its support to Austria–Hungary, and launching the Schlieffen Plan,
Germany was the most responsible for starting the First World War.
First of all, Germany's strategic diplomatic errors caused the Triple Entente to form against them.
According to Fromkin, Germany "[made] enemies of [Russia, France, and Great Britain]" before the
war even started (271–272). When Kaiser Wilhelm II took control of Germany, it was
diplomatically sound due to the peace agreements made by the previous Prussian minister president,
Otto von Bismarck ("The Road"). Soon, all of Bismarck's diplomatic gains were reversed ("The
Road"). Rather than focusing on creating peace with other nations, Kaiser Wilhelm II allowed his
young and headstrong mentality affect his decisions ("The Road"). He became completely focused
on war and ignored all diplomacy ("The Road"). For instance, Germany "declined to renew the 1887
Russian–German Reinsurance Treaty" (Ehlert 3). This treaty was what kept Germany and Russia on
good terms, and it prevented war between the two countries by creating a friendly relationship ("The
Road"). By ignoring Russia and allowing their relations to expire, Germany became Russia's enemy
("The Road"). In addition to Russia, Kaiser Wilhelm II ignored Germany's peaceful relations with
France and Great Britain ("The Road"). This resulted in the formation of the Triple Entente, which
consisted of France, Great Britain, and Russia ("The Road").

26. The Causes Of World War I
World War I was also known as the First World War or the Great War. It was an international
conflict from 1914–1918 that involved most of the countries in Europe, the United States, the
Middle East, Russia, and others (World War I). World War I had some major events like the sinking
of the Lusitania, The First Battle of Marne, and The Russian Revolution.
In 1900 the British Empire was spread over five continents, and France had control of large amounts
of Africa. This created a fight between them and Germany for land. Between the empires,
militarism, and nationalism there was so much competition that it created a war. Militarism was a
major cause of World War I. The governments had given the military so much power that Germany,
France, and Britain were in a major race to have the best military that could claim and protect the
seas around their country. Nationalism was also a huge cause of World War I because everyone
believed their country was best, which led to people fighting over whose country was better
(Crocker).
World War I started after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914, and
lasted until 1918. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was blamed on the Serbian government. In
early July the Serbian government was convinced that Austria–Hungary was ready for war so the
Serbians ordered their Army to mobilize. On July 5, 1914, Austria Hungary got a secret alliance
from Germany. On July 28, 1914, Austria–Hungary declared war on Serbia. Throughout

Unfortunately, what statesmen had not imagined was that the world had to witness to the slaughter

However, precisely because of the the devastation and chaos caused by the war, the establishment of

However, it was the outbreak of war in Europe in 1914, which confirmed that European diplomacy
lacked any organised machinery for international co–operation.
In the first decade of the 20th century; with the crucial urgency and the insistence of the President of
the US, Wilson, who repeatedly proposed such an organization through his so–called Fourteen
Points, an overall framework of the League was rising.
At the beginning of 1919, during a session of The Paris Peace Conference, the creation of the
League became an 'integral part' of a peace treaty; and finally, after innumerable negotiations, with
the Treaty of Versailles, the 28 of June 1919, the League of Nations arise, with 41 members, holding
their first meeting the 16 of January 1920 in Paris.
With this coalition, all the great nations and some medium–sized powers, would have gathered to
ensure security and to create a mechanism to prevent, resolve, or stop disputes and wars. Most
importantly, the League also introduced "the collective security", a system to guarantee the

there had been many conflicts between European countries that contributed to the start of the war

growth of nationalism had yet another serious result, as well as the growth armies that were
expanding, increasing existing tensions in Europe and the assassination of the archduke which all
helped fuel the start of the war. Although many people wanted a war because they thought that it
would be short and bloodless and for old resentments, they had thought wrong. Instead it lasted four
years and had such an impact on peoples lives and European countries. Feelings of nationalism had
been uprising because not all ethnic groups became nations. Some ethnic groups such as the Balkans
dreamt of having their own national states as well as other groups. Not only did they want their own
national state, but they wanted recognition. And when neighboring countries heard about what these
ethnic groups wanted, it resulted in the formation of two alliances, the Triple Alliance and the Triple
Entente. The Triple Alliance was made up of Germany who created the alliance due to the fear of
being attacked on two fronts, Austria–Hungary and Italy. The Triple Entente made up of France,
Great Britain, and Russia. Although, not only was there a growth of nationalism, but the growth of

29. The Aftermath of World War I
The aftermath of World War I left a lasting impression on the 1920s because America entered the
Great War later than the big European countries. This gave them an upper hand in their economic
position since they did not spend as much money as France, Germany, and Britain did. This ignited
their unprecedented affluence which had a domino effect in America's society in terms of
government's relationship to business. Another effect of the First World War is the Red Scare and
America's prejudice and fear against the minorities shown through the immigration policies it
established. These changes in the economy increased living standards, evidently seen through the
consumer culture, progressive innovations, and increased consumption. This illusion of expanding
prosperity came to an end with the stock market crash in 1929. This opened America's eyes to their
limits which make the 1920s a decade imperative for its legacy rippled throughout our history. With
the Republicans in control of the White House, the policies of promoting business while limiting

In consequence, The Schlieffen Plan offered German planners an offensive strategy that struck
quickly in order to fight a war on two fronts. Wilhelm's perceptions that the offense was the
strongest course of action was misguided and built with bias that only led to a glorious German
victory. Diplomatically, Wilhelm perceived that he would not be accused of instigating the global
conflict. His sly maneuvers to use Serbia as a scapegoat in order to mobilize Russia and then
mobilize in retaliation stands as a strong indicator that he personally wanted to be the aggressor, but
seen as the reactionary actor. Lastly, Wilhelm perceived that his conquest would be achievable
relatively quickly. He thought that he would be able to defeat France and then focus on Russia,
before Russia was finished mobilizing their military. These three significant events before the war
reinforce Wilhelm's status conscious and aggressive personality, which largely drove policy towards
the war in 1914. The other head of this conundrum is Czar Nicolas II. Nicolas was a cousin of
Wilhelm and the Russian Tsar until 1917 with his abdication of the throne. Nicolas took the throne

War has been a terrible part of the human existence since the beginning of time. According to

have existed (Hedges). That is a staggering statistic showing how deep–rooted war is in the minds
and hearts of people. So while war itself might be inevitable the outcome of any given conflict is
anything but predictable. There are many different elements that come into play during combat but
perhaps the most influential factor is geography. In fact, geography has been such an important part
of war that a new field of study has emerged in recent years entitled military geography. On

It's been over a century since Austria declared war on Serbia. The assassination of Archduke Francis

Countless wars and conflicts have been fought since, each evolving into something different than
the last. As a result, modern warfare has evolved into something completely different than that of a
century ago. Although war is fought for fundamentally the same reasons, warfare, as it is practiced
today, is different from that of World War I. This is primarily due to the rise of counterinsurgency
operations, the focus on air superiority and the use of technology, such as unmanned aerial vehicles,
which have led to the decline of mass army against army war. Characterized by the declaration of
war, the amassing of vast battlefield formations, and the use of new technologies, such as the
machine gun and airplane, World War I was the epitome of conventional war. The myriad of
alliances across Europe in the early 20th century allowed military leaders to carefully craft offensive
plans of war focused on the weaknesses of known enemies and designed to swiftly defeat opposing
military forces. For example, Germany's Schlieffen Plan "assumed that the Reich could only win a

Nations that practiced ISI could never entirely eliminate their dependence on the world economy,
and ISI's bias against exports left nations with very little export revenue which could be used to pay
for things that the nation absolutely had to import. These balance of payments crises hurt domestic
economies, often leading to social unrest and coups. Compounding the problems caused by balance
of payments problems, nations which practiced ISI also tended to have high inflation rates as well as
high income–inequality caused by privileging industrialization at the expense of agricultural classes.
Ultimately, ISI nations began experiencing massive social, political, and economic problems which
stifled further development.
After World War II, the Western economic powers implemented the Bretton Woods System, an

36. The World War I Ended
In late June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated. A rise of threats and
mobilization orders followed the event, leading to the outbreak of World War I, which pitted
Germany, Austria–Hungary and the Ottoman Empire (the so–called Central Powers) against Great
Britain, France, Russia, Italy and Japan (the Allied Powers). The Allies were joined after 1917 by
the United States. The four years of the Great War–as it was then known–saw unprecedented levels
of carnage and destruction, thanks to grueling trench warfare and the introduction of modern
weaponry such as machine guns, tanks and chemical weapons. By the time World War I ended in the
defeat of the Central Powers in November 1918, more than 9 million soldiers had been killed and 21
million more wounded. New weapons revolutionized combat in World War One.

Also, due to the new generation of modern warfare, different weapons were used on the battlefield.
The most common weapon created in WWI was the machine gun. They were used to shoot from far
away, which helps the operator stay away from man to man combat. Combined with trenches, these
machines guns could make a deadly pair; they could mount on the inside of the trench while
protecting the shooter from oncoming fire. The trenches were a very smart idea due to the fact that
the land was flat. Although fighting was extremely violent on land, soldiers also faced deadly battles
at sea. Back in the day, Britain had the most powerful navy around, but Germany wanted to test
their strength. One of the most, if not the only, famous battle at sea was the Battle of Jutland, which
changed the war at sea forever. The battle of Jutland was no ordinary battle at sea. Unlike battles on
land, Jutland lasted only one day. The battle was between the British and the Germans. There were
about 250 ships in attendance and about 100,000 men spread out on ships. Due to the fact that
Britain had a more powerful Navy, they had almost twice as many ships and men. Many would

This idea, known as social Darwinism, in Austria–Hungary perhaps further strengthened the want
by various ethnic groups to leave Austria–Hungary. Additionally, a group which the Austro–
Hungarians controlled were the Serbs, who were placed under their control after the Bosnian crisis
of 1908. In the Bosnian crisis, Austria–Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina, against the
approval of Serbia("Bosnian crisis of 1908"). Because Austria–Hungary didn't have the approval of
the Serbians, the connection between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina was broken. Serbia was
connected to Bosnia and Herzegovina because the countries had ethnic and geographic similarities.
It seems likely that these connections limited the conflicts between Serbia and Bosnia, lowering the
tension in the Balkan region. However, the annexation by Austria–Hungary created a barrier
between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia because the Serbians already had previous hatred for
Austria–Hungary. This separation angered Serbia to an extent where Serbia demanded a portion of
the annexed land be given to them. Austria declined, and soon after threatened to invade Serbia if
