Although the people during that time period thought that the war was going to end quickly, simply because it was between Austria and Serbia, the war surprisingly included many other strong countries because of nationalism especially regarding the Balkan colonies wanting to be self-governed. But meanwhile, after Austria-Hungary proclaimed war with Serbia, countries from the Triple Entente later joined into war in a matter of time. As shown in Document A: the European Alliances and nations are shown on a map. The nations then started to pick sides. Austria-Hungary and Germany formed the Central Powers
This victory demonstrated that the colonies had a chance to defeat Great Britain which brought France to become allies with the colonies to defeat Great Britain. “On 6 February 1778 France signed with Benjamin Franklin treaties of commerce and alliance” (Adams 37). Frances military would benefit the revolution tremendously. Their navy consisted of 80 ships of
So in an attempt to avoid future conflict of the same scale, the Allies allowed the Central Powers no participation in the treaty’s negotiations, stripped Germany of many of its territories, blamed it for the war, and imposed substantial reparation payments. However, although the Allies were hopeful that these measures would ensure peace in the future, the Versailles Treaty has been cited as a
The French joined because of the loss they had to England on the Seven Years War and wanted to get payback so they joined after noticing that the Americans had beaten the British at Saratoga. The battle took place at Yorktown, Virginia. The French are on the American side and helped the Americans win the war. The French helped by donating guns, food, and ammunition. The war started on September 28 of the year 1781.
The American colonies encountered a challenge during the American Revolution that resulted in a need for international support and diplomacy. America required an alliance with France in order to have a chance to defeat the British Empire. After France’s loss to its enemy, England during the Seven Years War and the American’s victory in the Battle of Saratoga, they now have a motive to support America’s fight for independence. In 1778, the French decided to join the Americans to help weaken the British’s Empire and to gain access to trading posts of the New World that they lost during the French and Indian War. Fortuneatly, the French were able to assist the American’s in holding off some British navy from the battles of the American Revolution.
France decided to form an alliance with the colonists not long after the American Revolution began, helping to make the Americans stronger. The alliance with the French helped raise the colonists’ spirits and many colonists were consistently determined to gain independence from Britain. With an alliance with such a powerful country and being leaded by the amazing George Washington helped the Continental Army stay strong and keep fighting. Being right at home gave the colonists many advantages.
The French involvement played a crucial role in America winning the revolution, with the French joining the fight with them they gained man power, resources, and the strength with both of them combined to beat the
The wonderful victory in October 177, the success they made of the battle, gave France the confidence in the American cause made us free and have the freedom. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have the freedom or individual rights. It was an amazing success they did for our country and we should thank that and be
The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution of the Americas. The Articles served as a written document that established the national government. The Articles were created to help the colonists when they were fighting for independence from Great Britain. The Articles gave the colonies a sense of a united government. But soon the Articles started to fail.
This act stated to the world that the United States was going to remain neutral during the conflict between France and Great Britain. Washington believed that this would be the safest and the most reasonable plan. This helped the nation my not going into debt and starting wars with the bigger countries. Both of these acts were very different but in the end they both helped the growing nation. Washington used the powers of the executive government well to make these acts to keep the nation
The US wanted “peace without victory”, France wanted to cripple Germany and gain security from the treaty and Britain wanted middle ground of wat the US and Germany wanted (Treaty of Versailles: How America, France & Britain Benefited.). Consequently the treaty was written for the benefit of each
One of the earliest causes of the Allied Powers victory was the failure of the German Schlieffen Plan. Its aim was to occupy the France, coming through the Belgium, and then, when these would be under their control, it would create one big front to fight with Russia. Unfortunately, everything went wrong, Belgium soldiers were extremely brave, what delayed the German advance. Germany did not manage to break through to France as quickly as it intented to. Due to the "Treaty of London", which guaranteed the independence of Belgium, Britain declared war on Germany.
Driving stick is a dying art. Most cars today have an automatic transmission. The few cars that have manual transmissions today are utility vehicles, vintage or older cars, and many high performance cars. Very few manufacturers make new manual cars, however some still do. Once these companies stop making manuals, older cars are gone, and the high performance cars and utility vehicles switch to automatic transmissions, Manual will be gone altogether.
The war was a result of the French and British’s desire to expand their influence and territory in the
“When the peace treaty is signed, the war isn’t over” (Marlantes). When the fighting stopped on the battlefront of World War I many leaders of different countries gathered together in Paris. They were there to discuss the Treaty of Versailles that would ensure permanent peace. The treaty that was created was extremely unfair to Germany. The Treaty of Versailles was far from perfect, but some of the biggest faults were forcing Germany to take the blame for the whole war, demanding they give up all of their colonies and decrease the size of their military, and paying reparations to the Allies.
