Germany's Fault In World War One

Improved Essays
Germany was in all the wars except one how strange. WW1 is a well known war, there was a lot of events in this war. Many people think differently then me but how I see it, Germany was always involved. The blame on Germany and Austria from the great war was trying to be shifted onto France Russia and Serbia. A week after Franz Ferdinand’s assassination, Germany had agreed to back Austrian military action against Serbia, even if this resulted in war with Russia. Germany deliberately started a European war to keep from being overtaken by Russia. Therefore my opinion on who started the war is Germany the blame isn't completely Germany's but they do have a big part of it. Germany signed the blank cheque and that little stunt

    The treaty of Versailles caused more problems than it solved because of several reasons. First of all the treaty gave Germany the entire blame for the war which is completely unethical, second of all it completely ignored Woodrow Wilsons 14 points that would of most likely prevented another devastating war, third and fore most electing Hitler into power was the absolute worst decision ever. These three reasons is exactly why I somewhat agree that the treaty of Versailles did more harm than it did well. First off blaming the entire war on Germany was a complete mistake it just enraged them to become stronger as a nation when Hitler came into power. When Herman Muller and Johannes bell signed the treaty of Versailles in the hall of mirrors…

    Some may see the assassination as a result of nationalism, which would make nationalism the sole reason or start of the war. However, when analyzed further, one can see that regardless of what caused the assassination, without it, the war would have not happened. Therefore, even though nationalism played a significant part in the assassination, the assassination itself was the commencement of the war, not nationalism. Overall, the event that lead to the First World War was the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie. Gavrilo Princip killed them both on June 28th, 1914.…

    The Holocaust, part of World War II, was held from 1933 to 1945. This historical event was a genocide that murdered approximately six million Jewish people.

The German authorities also targeted others such as the Gypsies, the Slovaks, the mentally and physically disabled, the homosexuals, and many others because of their political, ideological, or religious backgrounds. The National Socialist government developed concentration and extermination camps for the Jewish population.…
