The republic government gained more influence after the war. The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 was also a significant outcome of the war. Germany was forced to sign this treaty accepting responsibility for causing the war and also had to pay for most of the wars expenses. There was a big economic change after the war because the production of airplanes, radios, automobiles…

once again to create a treaty that would establish peace among European countries. This agreement is known as the treaty of Versailles. In the document, a league of nations was formed to prevent future wars and a country was found guilty of the war’s outcome. The treaty of Versailles was not efficient because it did not give Germany self-determination, weakened Europe’s economy, and in the end did not do its primary job at maintaining peace. One of the major points in the Treaty of Versailles…

Until 1914, the dynamics of colonization were the primary driving factor of international migration. The desire of nation-states to regulate national population and to provide individuals one nationalization under the protection of legal institutions contributed to the rise nationalism. Although the countries of emigration like Germany opt for nationality laws based upon jus sanguinis (German nationality law of 1913), countries of immigration like the United States and France developed political…

one of the most brutal and violent war this world has ever seen. Ending with millions of people on both sides of the war dead. The main reason World War 1 happened was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and the countries having the treaties of bonding together if one country went into war. Having agreements to support a country with a small military to help them. Was a good idea, but if the slightest thing happens the whole world is at war. A war that nobody will ever forget for…

In 1918, under increasing pressure from the steady stream of incoming US reinforcements Germany called for an Armistice, bringing an end to The Great War. After six months of negotiations the treaty of Versailles was signed, this saw to the dissolution of the German, Russian, Ottoman and the Austro-Hungarian Empires respectively, and decided that the Central Powers were to pay for all of the damages caused during the war. As a result, in the…

Based on the United States’s past history in intervening in the affairs in other nations, it is best that this nation’s “moral responsibility” should lie right here on the home front. In addition to the U.S.’s interventions being notorious for blowing up in our face, there are several domestic issues that could be addressed if the same amount of attention was placed on them instead of on nations halfway across the globe. American intervention in seemingly hostile situations in foreign nations…

The year was 1914 in Europe and it’s neighboring continents. 4 years of wars that resulted in nearly sixty million casualties, total. In a time when European countries had gone for 40years without a war, they glorified military power. When one country created a large army another country created a larger one and the process repeated itself. Soon, countries became nervous and started to form an alliance. The main three were France, Britain and Russia who agreed to help each other if they were…

In the early 1800s alliances were introduced to hold peace in Europe, but ended up leading more war. Otto von Bismarck mainly used war to ‘unify’ Germany and keep peace all over Europe. In this, he thought France wanted revenge and no peace, so he formed a Dual Alliance with Austria-Hungary; Italy later joined along with them creating the Triple Alliance. After this, Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914. Russia then decided to join and team with Serbia against Austria-Hungary for an…

The word ‘determined’ is part of a morally charged concept that asks us to consider what actions and inactions are complicit ‘enough’ to be held responsible for the Holocaust. However, the word ‘bystanders’ is a complicated term, with a rich and varied composition. It has developed into a central part of the Holocaust consciousness as a perjorative term. The actions and inactions of various actors before and during World War II can almost all be linked in some way to the Holocaust. Yet, it is…

the horrors of the Third Reich. Unfortunately, this paranoia is not unwarranted, nor is it irrational to suggest that “Hitler” could rise again. Hitler took advantage of a very bad time in Germany. People were suffering economically, crippled by the Treaty of Versailles and the depression that followed the war. Nationalism was at an all time low - people had no fondness towards their weak and war torn nation. Hitler was able to exploit this crisis and turn it into his political platform,…
