World War I Was one of the bloodiest wars ever. World War I was a war fought in Europe between Germany, Russia, France, Great Britain, and the United States and many others. World War I was ultimately started with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. The indirect causes were more significant to the outbreak of WWI than any direct cause. There are several causes that forced Europe into the “Great War” such as militarism,alliance systems, imperialism,and militarism.
In 1914-1918 there was a large war with many countries, peace was not a consideration. Not only did grown men were forced to fight in the war but boys that just graduated high school were forced, and died in war. “ what was the underlying cause of world war I?” one of the major cause of the war was militarism out of one of the four. The other three ar alliances, imperialism, and nationalism, but i 'm only walking about three of them, not nationalism.
Source three is a World War I Australian propaganda poster created by the Australian State Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in 1917, focussing on the recruitment of soldiers, specifically sportsmen to volunteer to join the war as a method to replenish the front lines of the war in Europe. An associated message of the source questioned the validity and legitimacy of healthy, Australian men participating in sports while the other soldiers fought at the front in Europe. This situation strongly contradicted cultural loyalty, where Australians from the past and in the present have a traditional value of fitness and athletics, and have a competitive history in sports, with regional loyalty and political nationalism in terms of accommodating the
World War I ended in 1918 with the victorious Allied powers, and the peace-promising Treaty of Versailles. However, this treaty 's peace did not last long as its unrealistic demands caused strong resentment within the Central powers against the Allied powers. Territorial losses, reparation payments, and inflation all left Europe in economic ruins. The damage and destruction that resulted from World War I paved a clear path that allowed for World War II to occur. It began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler gained power and, with the help of the Nazi Party, turned Germany in a totalitarian dictatorship.
During the turn of the twentieth century a powerful fervor prevailed throughout Europe. Industrialization boomed, and nations soared to a brand new level of success never seen before. This aura of new achievements and new ideas kindled a nationalist flair among citizens and their countries. Whether it be from successes of the state, or the unification of a common culture despite existing political boundaries, the people experienced a new and thrilling sensation of identity. Such a flame unleashed rebellious sparks, igniting the “powder keg” of Europe, launching the Great War.
The beginning of the twentieth century was fraught with tensions in Europe. Nationalism, the belief that one's country is better than all other countries, led to increased strains between nations. Ideas of imperialism, the expansion of a country to form an empire, led to the creation of colonies in areas such as the far east and Africa. This frantic struggle for land also caused hostile feelings among the European powers. Many nations knew some form of bloodshed was imminent and formed alliances in preparation.
Soldiers had no choices in WW1.The first example is the daft. there were people making a petition against the draft.” we respectfully submit that our government has no constitutional Authority to order out of state to which they belong”(document 16 ) .This proves soldiers have no choice because even if the troops they made petition the government still made them go out of state and fight in the war did not believe in.another thing that proves soldiers had no choice. A poem by Wilfred Owen shows how horrible the war is ”all my dreams before helpless sites he plunges at me gagging choking drowning” This shows how soldiers got drafted and didn't know what they were in for they had to see their friends and other soldiers dead on the ground, bullets
World War One was a war unlike any other before or after; as time went on, countries from all around the world were dragged into European affairs, which led to powers exhausting resources to the fullest extent. Total War required all members of society to contribute and take on jobs of much significance that had lasting effects on culture. Throughout World War One both soldiers and civilians endured similar sufferings; however, the roles of each were significantly different from one another and they were affected by the war in various ways.
(MIP 1) due to technology the people in Montag’s society do not act like humans because they forget things a lot and become antisocial. (SIP-A) people in Montag’s society only pay attention to their TV, this causes them to forget things. (STEWE-1) the people in Montag’s society only pay attention to their TV. technology caused Mildred to take “two pills and forgot and took two more, and forgot again and took two more, and where so dopey you kept right on until you had thirty or forty of them in you (17).” This shows how technology is dangerous causes people to forget things.
The soldiers in WW1 had poor living conditions. The conditions in the trenches was wet infested with rats lice and many people suffered from trench foot. Front line soldiers could be expected to advance across no man 's land towards the enemy frontline trenches, in the face of shelling, machine gun fire and barbed wire defences.
Before 1914, society had never seen a war with so many losses; not just in terms of life but economically as well. The war took place from 1914 to 1919, with two main sides, the Allies (France, England, Russia, later Italy and the U.S.) and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey). The war officially began when Austria declared war on Serbia, and after that a domino-effect took place. Within a few months most of Europe was tangled up in a struggle for economic and political power. One country however, Germany, was determined to beat everyone and seemed to be in the middle of all the conflicts.
WW1 is known as the first modern war because it saw the incorporation of mechanical weapons. The Central Powers and Allies both used a variety of weapons such as machine guns, chemical weapons , clothing, biplanes, artillery, tanks, grenades, and rifles. These weapons were state of the art for the early 20th century. These weapons caused casualties to skyrocket as the Allies and the Central Powers were in a stalemate.
WWI (1914-1918) was a disastrous conflict between two sides - the Allied Powers and the Central Powers. It resulted in the victory of the Allies. There were plenty of Central Powers weaknesses, the Schlieffen plan, weak allies of Germany and their hard economic situation at the end of the WWI. However, it was not only due to these weaknesses, Allied Powers had a few strengths, that made them won. The most important of these are : greater army, control of the sea and support of the USA since 1917, while Germany was already running out of supplies and soldiers.
World War I was a conflict fueled by territorial desires and nationalism. This sentiment is captured in Erich Remarque's novel All Quiet on the Western Front. In the novel, the main characters, all young soldiers, come to understand that war is not glorious and that the people they are fighting are not their enemy. At the time, such ideas were dangerously anti-nationalist ones. Nationalism was a necessary component of World War I but was not, as is explored in Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, a doctrine held by all Europeans.
Alliances and militarism are both very important causes of World War I, as well as lastly imperialism. On Document F it shows the population of the empires. The population of the empires determine how strong the countries can be and it gives them the opportunity to take over other countries. This factors into the war because countries clearly do not want to be taken over, so it causes more issues and leads to more fighting. If imperialism was not an issue in this war then this war may not have became as big as it did, because countries would not have been worried about being taken over, so they would not have fought as
