Also it showed how war can make a man go crazy, like when Detering saw the cherry tree and thought of home and ran away. All Quiet on The Western Front also showed me how soldiers morale can go from being good, to being awful. Like when the German Emperor came to the front line, the men where sad when they found out he was little and with a weak voice. World War 1 could also be part of reason for the spanish flu, which many think is because of the artillery shells digging up so much dirt.
After the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, World War One was over. The countries were trying to fix the problems that had led to WW1. The countries created a League of Nations to try to prevent other countries from fighting each other. Although different countries tried to reduce their militaries, mankind failed to address problems from World War One because they blamed the war on Germany, plus the league of nations was too weak to prevent international aggression.
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.
World War I was a big moment for America, a time when an nation involved itself in world affairs and began the rise to the economic and military power that America is today. The people of America were affected by world war one in many ways. They were first limited to what they could buy including sugar so that they can provide rations for countries. Full freedom for colored people was a problem in other words there were second class citizens. Finally we went into an everlasting chain of fighting were all these countries were fighting and sticking up for each other and it was just a huge big fight that america didn't need to get involved in.
There was more than just one incident that led to World War I. Americans killed on a sunken ship, the use of restricted submarines, and the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. President Wilson did all he could to avoid a conflict. When things got out of hand for him, he pushed back. The Bible scriptures states that there is a time for war, and I am sure that God’s direction was taken into consideration before war was declared. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was a friend of Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany.
World War 1 was one of the most inclusive and deadly wars in history. The war brought a series if new machines and techniques to warfare. World War 1 was known as the war to end all wars but, sadly it didn’t. The treaty of versailles was not a good plan to ensure peace and prosperity in Europe. The Treaty of Versailles was not a good plan for European peace because all parties that signed the treaty did not agree with it, Germany was forced to pay majority of the debt, and the economy in Europe plumited.
War; what is it good for? Well that really depends on where you’re standing. World War I was good for producing short and long term effects. On the short side of things there were rivalries and propaganda. On the long term side, there were new ideas to be utilized by coming generations and new territorial set ups.
Militarism made nations want to prove their power. Imperialism caused distrust and propaganda. Allies caused nations to fight for dominance. World War I was a big battle and caused nations to spend money and lose millions of people during the
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.
The world staggered in the aftermath of World War I. After the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, countries were left angry and frustrated; and America, though not as injured as those countries friendly with her, sat just as shell-shocked as others. For nations all over the world, the reality of the Great War affected economies and family units, debt was high and many families had lost loved ones. In America, battle deaths in World War I totaled over 55,000, with another 63,000 dying during military service, leaving the family structure challenged and changed. For children surviving this period, World War II would take on a different connotation as they, now as adults, faced their own responsibilities in a precarious and wounded world.
Since its revolution from Britain, America has been an isolationist country, determined to not get involved in foreign affairs in order to focus on reforming itself. It was not until the world wars that the United States started to depart from its traditional isolist practices and provide aid to nations in need. It was specifically after World War II that the United States started to develop into an internationalist nation. In fact, World War II was a turning point in the United States that helped the country out of the Great Depression, brought about social reform for marginalized groups, and led to the United States' emergence as a global power. It was the U.S changing their familiar ways that guided them to becoming the powerful nation it
World War I (WWI) and World War II (WWII) had many causes. They also had many devastating effects on the world. They both have one main similarity and difference for both the causes and effects of the wars. The main similarity in the causes of both wars was imperialism, but the main difference was that WWII had appeasement; the main similarity in the effects of both wars was that there were many political tensions leftover that caused another war, but the main difference was that after WWII, the United Nations (UN) was created.
World War I was supposed to lead to peace, but it just led to another war. This shows how war is never the solution. Something bad will always lead to something
The Unpreventable Great War World War I was one of the most devastating and destructive events that occurred during history. It was inevitable to happen due to three main factors including, militarism, nationalism, and alliances between certain countries. However, there are other people who believe that World War I was not inevitable and could have been prevented through certain measures. This source describes that World War I could have been prevented if there were more stable and successful negotiations between countries. However, due to the lack of peaceful negotiations between certain countries, many conflicts arose because of desires to expand military and navels.
As a comparison, in my opinion, World War I was more avoidable as the triggers and causes were not as sophisticated as the World War II. Conflict between In World War 1, the Central Powers (including Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey) and the Allied Powers (France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and (from 1917, the U.S.) opposed each other. This is called the
