1916

Year 9 History Assessment Task No.2 There is a general consensus on what is the Anzac spirit. Anzac came to stand for the qualities that Australians and New Zealanders have show in war. These qualities make up the Anzac spirit and include endurance, mateship, good humour, ingenuity, and courage. The ANZACS were very helpful towards a small town in France called Amiens by helping the battle get out of their town with great success (Charles beans Volume 1 history of Australia in the Great War).…

everyday life. JROTC was first established in 1916 in Leavenworth High School.

difference between the two. The statement creates a flow to both the senseless sentences together in conjunction with Robert’s participation in the war. Yeat’s ambivalence towards war is further suggested in his poem Easter 1916 which was written in response to the Irish uprising of 1916, where it was “a battle of David and Goliath” in many ways as the Irish fortify for independence when the…

were many significant turning points that occurred during World War I. Though all these events all shaped the outcome of the war one of the most important of these events was the Battle of Somme. The Battle of Somme began on July 1, 1916 and lasted until November 19, 1916 (BBC, IWonder: The Battle of Somme). The Battle of Somme was an offensive battle that was known mostly for the fact that it is known as “the bloodiest battle in history” (BBC, IWonder: The Battle of Somme). The Battle of Somme…

William Butler Yeats use of pastoral poetry in his poems Lake Isle of Innisfree and Easter 1916 his use of this type descriptive language evokes the reader to imagine a rural Irish life rich in folklore and fairytales. Yeats’ also urges his reader to envision life in the picturesque world, he used this style of writing to bring about a feeling of nationalism but with the preservation of Irish history. In the poem Lake Isle of Innisfree, Yeats uses pastoral imagery to describe the Western…

exterminated by their countrymen because of their ethnic group given by Belgian colonizers over occupation (1916-1962). Nevertheless, that tragedy could have been lower and prevented if some countries would have intervened and did not think to their own interests first. Before being independent and having the genocide, Rwanda was an occupied country since it was first conquered by Germans (1894-1916) and then was taken over by Belgium over…

“The Easter Uprising of 1916 has become the foundational myth of the modern Irish state” (Reynolds 36). The actual act itself was impractical and more of a dream than a concrete reality. It was much like the American Revolution to a point. A determined few up against impossible odds against an entire country and her military, but in the long run the poor way that England handled the situation led to the aftermath of the revolt taking hold and giving birth to a political revolution instead (Walsh…

“to a restricted sexual life, which serves the purpose of reproduction and is described as normal” (Freud, 1916-17, 396). He uses this as a means of control and uniformity among the population, and that anything that falls outside of this is perverse. He believes that “these people fall ill…because of frustration, when reality prevents them from satisfying their sexual wishes” (Freud, 1916-17, 371). This reality is not what is truly reflected in the world around them, but the…

that does not keep the war from stopping. Battle of Jutland took place throughout May and June of 1916. It has become the major naval battle so far throughout the war. Both sides claimed victory over this conflict. Great Britain maintains control over the sea while the Germany continues to sink more and more ships (Hoobler 45). As far as land conflicts go the Battle of Verdun during the winter of 1915-1916 marks another major milestone. German troops infiltrated Verdun, a major city for the…

Ireland and its people. In W.B. Yeats’ poem, “September, 1913”, he emphasizes and expresses these opinions. Yeats stresses how nationalism can fuel Ireland, yet criticizes Ireland’s people for their greed and overwhelming self-interest. In “Easter, 1916”, though, Yeats shifts away from the people of Ireland, and instead summarizes the tension between Great Britain and Ireland. Yeats often brings up how the conflict has created “a terrible beauty”. While the people of Ireland are fighting for…
