Ferdinand Magellan

would you do if 17 million people died because of you? While the unwarranted murder of anyone is morally wrong and should not happen, there have been a few cases in history where someone who was assassinated got what they deserved. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, despite multiple warnings from his security advisors of terrorist activity by the “Black Hand,” decided to make a trip to the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo (Ferrera 1). The heir apparent to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was shot and killed along…

took place in 1914 or around that time. It was a conflict between the Allies(France, Britain, Russia and later on the United States) and the Central Powers(Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy). One major event was the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28th 1914. Another cause I am going to cover is militarism because of course they had to deal with this during the war. The last cause I will talk about is imperialism because a lot of this was trying I happen.…

The Napoleonic Empire which existed in the early nineteenth century had a large impact upon much of Europe. The Napoleonic regime was undeniably militaristic in nature and the existence of widespread conscription clearly highlights this. In the past historians have often regarded the empire as being purely a military enterprise. For example Georges Lefebvre branded the empire a ‘military dictatorship’. However, as contemporary historians have argued, it cannot be considered to have purely been…

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…

War, chaos, destruction, ruin; these are things the world knew all too well for four straight years. Over nine million troops and soldiers sacrificed their lives and over five million innocent civilians died. Roughly $186 billion was spent in direct costs and an additional $151 billion was spent indirectly. War destroyed national relations, demolished economies, took lives, and tore our world apart, but why? Was it because the world wanted it, or they thought it would be fun? Not at all; so why…

World War I tension had been brewing in Europe and especially in Balkan region for years before conflict actually broke out, the initial spark that ignited World War I was struck in Sarajevo, Bonsia. Archduke R. Fernidad nephew of the Emperor Franz Josef and heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire was shot to death along with his wife by the Serbian nationalist Garrilo Princip on June 28, 1914. During this time nationalism: a patriotic feeling the principle or efforts of a nation, as well as…

Would World War 1 have broken out if the nephew of Emperor Franz Josef, heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Archduke Franz Ferdinand wasn't assassinated? In short, yes, there had already been extremely high tensions around the world. Every country had an enemy and some sort of makeshift alliance with other countries. The assassination of the Archduke only added more wood to the already burning fire that was the outbreak of, “The War To End All Wars”, that was World War 1. The reason…

There were four main causes of World War I: Militarism, Nationalism, Imperialism, and Treaties and Alliances. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was only a short-term cause of the war and therefore caused the countries to declare war on other countries without much background knowledge or historical events. The four main causes had been seen throughout the years leading up to the war. Prior to the start of World War I, many European nations had been building up their military…

One of the four main causes was imperialism. This means that countries were trying to have to most colonies, or smaller countries. The more colonies you had, the more wealthy and influential your country was. France and Britain had lots of colonies in Asia and Africa and pretty soon, Germany and Italy wanted a colonial empire as well. This race to have the most land causes lots of conflicts. Great Britain was so close to having a war with the United States and France over colonies! Alliances…
