President Woodrow Wilson tried to keep the United States neutral, but Germany continuously violated their conditions/neutral status. Based on the facts, The United States did have good enough reasons to join the war with the allied powers, against the central powers. Unrestricted submarine warfare was one of the most important reasons on why…

Many thought their husbands and fathers would be home that Christmas, they were wrong. In 1914, Europe went to war for four long years, losing the lives of millions of men. For many years, people debate over the same question: “What really caused World War I?” The three underlying causes to World War I were the alliances, militarism, and the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Duke.

Sudetenland It refers to the area of Czechoslovakia that were mainly inhabited by ethnic Germans. Spielvogel noted that “the Sudetenland also contained Czechoslovakia’s most important frontier defenses and considerable industrial resources as well” (836). Hitler knew the importance of this land. To gain this land, he required the cession of it to Germany, otherwise, he may start a war. He successfully persuaded Britain and French not to defend Czechoslovakia, which allowed Germany to occupy the…

distanced from the national debate as exampled by belief that Americans agreed with their views.

I believe it was, some historians believe that it was really just continuation of WWI, however, like all historical events it is hard to say what would have happened. WWII was about a lot more than increasing Germany’s territory or promotion of the Aryan Race. Hitler’s main motivation for becoming the leader of German was to restore respect of the German people after WW1, which he fought in. Over time he became more anti-Semitic and blamed the Jews for Germany’s loss (although he still…

If Hitler had been a better historian we would be speaking German now and Hitler’s soldiers could have avoided the inhuman suffering, described in ‘All Hell Let Loose’ by Max Hastings, had he studied the mistakes made by Napoleon 129 years earlier when he sent his ill equipped Grande Armée deep into the frozen heart of Mother Russia. History is more than just the study of the past; it allows us to understand the present and it also shapes the future. The imaginary exploits of the Sultan Saladin…

Germany is not responsible for the outbreak of World War One. Germany was only supporting our ally just like Russia was with Serbia. At this point when the war broke out, many countries knew the war was inevitable. The treaty of Versaille forced us to take blame as we were the last standing central power because Austria-Hungary had fallen. As for the letters where it says, the kaiser supports the war effort that was between two austrian diplomats so there is no solid evidence that the kaiser…

Account for Spain’s neutrality in the Second World War? One could argue that no word has a set definition and can be translated in many different ways. With this in mind one can differentiate between a ‘traditional’ and personal interpretation of a word. As for me personally, the term ‘neutral’ in terms of countries and conflicts signifies a non participant in fighting occurring outside of their jurisdiction. Taking this into consideration we can firmly determine that Spain, under the rule of…
