"The fate of history is once again in the hands of America." America during the early 1900s is not yet the superpower of the world, as it is later known. How will America get this title? At the start of WWI, Germany had victory over Europe in its sights. That all changed when Germany made catastrophic mistakes by threating the democracy of the world, sending Mexico a hostile note directed toward the United States, and participating in submarine warfare. Threating the democracy of the…

France and the United Kingdom fought together in World War I and World War II on the side of the Allies. However, during the German…

The Battle of Verdun is probably among one of the greatest battles in history. As well as being one of the longest skirmishes, lasting nearly ten months. There has never been a battle before or after this that involved so many soldiers, in such a concentrated area. The battle of Verdun lasted from February 21, 1916 to December 19, 1916 with an estimated casualty count of around 700,000. There is no explanation for the shocking losses from both sides. This battle had boiled down to a matter of…

Back in the 1930’s, America was deep in the Great Depression and the end of the first World War that it was important to focus on the inside. Isolation was necessary to rebuild the economy and was needed to band together to rebuild our losses and guide the country through hard times. America even tried to stay out of the next world event, World War 2. They were so focused on isolation that choruses of “I hate War” went around and people stood by that mindset. Next comes along the 1941 Pearl…

In modernizing America in the years of 1900-1945, four major things occurred, the world war one, 1920s, Great Depression and the New Deal, and the second world war. World war one began because the Archduke of Austria-Hungary was assassinated in 1914. At the beginning of the war President Wilson decided to stay neutral. Later the Lusitania was sunk by Germany and Germany also sent a letter to Mexico called the Zimmerman telegram. During this era many technologies and techniques for war…

Holding Out for a Hero Whether it’s six year old kids playing with superman action figures, or college students going to see the latest Batman movie, it's evident that in this day and age, everyone loves a good hero. In an unpredictable world where so many people often feel powerless, companies such as Marvel and DC comics provide a much needed escape from reality through the use of extraordinary fictional characters, such as the Green Arrow and the Flash. These two DC characters differ…

When the Great War broke out in 1914, the U.S. was clear that they wanted no part in this “European quarrel” (1). The U.S. would remain neutral throughout numerous German prods until 1917 when they join the Allies. This paper will review why joining World War I was the right choice for the U.S. and how, despite all of our losses in the war, it ultimately benefited us. During the first year of the war, most Americans had little reason to be rooting for a particular side in the war other than…

A lot of events led to the beginning of World War 2, most of them are global issues. In more ways than one, World War 2 ended up a direct result of the chaos left behind by World War 1. World War 2 was a catastrophe that we could have stayed out of but our allied powers caused us to join in the war efforts. World War I was ended with The Treaty of Versailles, this was between Germany and the Allied Powers. Since Germany had lost the war, the treaty was more cruel toward Germany, and the people…
