Many of the European powers had large empires, which in turn ensured that they held tremendous military, political, and economic influence. For example, Britain, at its peak in around 1914 held Canada, Australia, much of Africa, India, and various territories in Asia and the Caribbean; Britain also was one of…

The growth of the Austro-Hungarian since 1867 had enraged a large number of people in the Balkans, particularly Bosnian Serbs who were outrage that Bosnia had been taken and could therefore never become part of the “Greater Serbia” that they wanted. The annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina by Austria in 1908 also led to very poor relations with Russia who was traditionally the “protector of Serbs”. This helped fuel such nationalistic attitudes. A key feature that differentiates…

In June 1914, a Serbian nationalist assassinated him and his wife while they were in Sarajevo, Bosnia which was part of Austria-Hungary. This was in protest to Austria-Hungary having control of this region. Serbia wanted to take over Bosnia and Herzegovina. This assassination led to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia. When Russia began to mobilize due to its alliance with Serbia, Germany declared war on Russia. Thus began the expansion of the war to include all those involved in the mutual…

The creaking of decade old floorboards is the sound that ricochets through my mind when the summer of 2009 is brought up. My family and I went back to our home country of Bosnia-and-Herzegovina that summer. We were wanting to explore more of the country rather than just sit at home, but I was not expecting to be put in a wretched state of mind. The deserted reminisces of my mother’s childhood would reveal a side of gratefulness that I never thought I could have. On, what seemed was, the…

stated, Austria-Hungary lost much of its territory after the war due to the meeting in Paris (Doc I). With that land free from their reign, those previous areas of Austria-Hungary were able to blossom into new independent countries, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina. Along with physical changes, World War I completely affected the course of history itself. Without World War I, World War II may have never started. Because of Hitler’s promises to make Germany great again after the Great Depression…

The First World War was a calamity, but what was done in the wake of it, and the world it created, set the stage for even worse events. The post war world teetered on a precarious balance in both Europe and Asia. The nationalism that caused the First World War, manifested itself after the war and threatened post war security. Post- war Europe and Asia were fractured because of issues stemming from the First World War and combined with nascent and growing nationalism. Europe bore the brunt of…

Jake Mirto Mr. Dormer Global Studies 10 5/08/15 Nationalism and Imperialism played a huge role in the outbreak of World War I. Nationalism is the modern concept that people who share the same customs, culture, language, and history should share the same government. It became the most powerful European political ideology of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Imperialism is taking over a country or territory by a stronger nation with dominating political, economic, and social…

The governments of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, India, and Mexico, among others, are also organized along federalist principles. Federalism may encompass as few as two or three internal divisions, as is the case in Belgium or Bosnia and Herzegovina. In general, two extremes of federalism can be distinguished: at one extreme, the strong federal state is almost completely unitary, with few powers reserved for local governments; while at the other extreme, the national government may be…

"More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it only if we face it together. And that, my friends, is why we have the United Nations"(Annan, 1999). This quote was given by Kofi Annan to clarify the essentialness of the United Nations and to impart why its presence is required in our general public. Where the overall issues can never be dead set and settled by any one nation acting alone the United Nations as the general establishment offers the best and plays…
