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
During July 1914, I wanted to see how 'optimistic ' the trenches are so as a missionary I stayed in a British trench in order to uncover the truth of trench life. As I took my first step in the trench I was welcomed by a sickening smell that flowed towards my nostrils I could hear explosions around me as I felt surrounded and I could see rats crawling along the muddy floor and malnourished soldiers starving to
During the 20th century in European nations, countries fought amongst each other in the First World War. The causes of this war and disputed upon to this day, but three of the causes are definitely: The concept of the countries already prepared for war, the strong sense of nationalism, and the prominent amount of national power.

Kouta Hébert Grade 10 History Culminating Essay Over the course of the 20th century, Canada’s close relationship with the United States has been built upon trade, military and other economic partnerships and agreements.

Unit 9 DBQ The United States, for most of its history, was an egalitarian nation composed of mainly rural and mostly self-sufficient people. A place with limited views on roles of women and less-than-positive views on immigrants and minorities. This could be seen through the Chinese exclusion act, and a variety of set immigration quotas throughout the 19th century targeting immigrants, or through the strongly segregated and very racist south. However, both World War 1 and the 1920s brought about changes in both the American way of life, and American society as a whole.
"When the Universe is at war which side are you on?" War raged across millions of star systems, billions of planets and trillions of light years. Whole nations and ways of life would disappear within this age of chaos. Great heroes and villains emerge.
World War I started in the heart of the Progressive era. The Progressive era was a time of efficiency, economic growth, and skill. By “1914 [the United States had] produced over one-third of the world’s manufactured goods,” (Foner, 680) making the U.S. “the leading industrial power” (Foner, 680). Europeans had already “complained of an “American invasion” of steel, oil, agricultural equipment, and consumer goods” (Foner, 680).

The Dark Truth behind an Independent Canada The Great War was a long fought battle, in which Canada’s victories are permanently engraved in world’s history. It marks the birth of the nation’s freedom, and yet, soldiers lived and breathed the air of bloodshed. Mothers wept at the loved ones lost to the hands of war at the home front, and many were left to suffer in the aftermaths of the battle. Although the Great War serves as a significant milestone to Canada’s newfound independence, the prices paid in regards World War One was not worth the country’s victories. When an undefeated Canada arose out of the rubble of the war, it is no longer seen as one under Britain’s control, but rather a nation in itself.
They say world war one had a big impact on families, well this is how it impacted on my mine. When my dad left for the war I thought I would never see him again. I had been crying for a half-an-hour, and now it was time for him to go. I gave him the biggest hug I have ever given to anyone and he said to me “I will be back don’t worry, I love you bumble bee”. Bumble bee was his nickname for me, and hearing it for, for what I thought would be the last time, brought me in a river of tears.
The culmination of the United States history before, during, and after World War 1 The United States' participation in World War I from 1917-1918 was a significant turning point in the nation's role in world affairs. Prior to this time, the United States had adopted a policy of isolationism and had largely stayed out of international conflicts.

The U.S. entry into the war helped to tip the balance in favor of the Allied Powers and contributed to the eventual defeat of Germany. This, in turn, led to significant changes in the political, economic, and social order of Europe, as well
World War I is often associated with trench Warfare and battles on the land, with very little thought given to the importance of naval warfare. Beginning with the Anglo-German Naval Race (1898-1912), Germany began building up their High Seas Fleet to challenge the Grand Fleet (“Anglo-German Naval Race”). Britain had been the World’s only international naval superpower for well over 100 years until Germany decided to challenge their dominance. Shortly after the start of World War I, the Anglo-French Naval Convention (1914) was signed, which greatly shaped Allied naval strategy. In 1914, Britain put a distant blockade on Germany, which allowed them to control exits from the North Sea and damaged both Germany’s economy and War effort (Roskill 4: 533).
