by invading Belgium. Consequently, the Canadian government has also confirmed that Canada is at war. Notorious for its selfish ambitions, Germany has always been power-hungry. By taking advantage of the conflict between Austria-Hungary and Russia, German troops invaded Belgium to attack France as a blow to the Triple Entente. Britain was forced to defend her allies, France and Russia. Canada is a proud nation standing behind Britain’s efforts, and Prime Minister Robert Borden has stated that…

United States into World War I, were the sinking of the Lusitania and the telegram sent to Mexico. The US and Great Britain had a small alliance and even though the US was not in the war, they still sent supplies over to Britain. This is not what the Germans wanted. It was their plan to block off all supplies that were being imported to Britain, so they blocked the seas with their boats and U-Boats. Before the US entered the war, a boat called the Lusitania was bound to set off from New York.…

1 What does Aristotle mean by the use of ‘example’? Aristotle says that argument by Example has the nature of induction, which is the foundation of reasoning. There are two varieties; one consisting in the mention of actual past facts, the other in the invention of facts by the speaker. Illustrative parallel and the fable are the two varieties (Aristotle, pg. 109-110). An example of using actual past facts would be saying that we must prepare for war against Germany and not let them conquer…

I chose Gavrilo Princip to research because he changed more in this period of history than anyone else by starting World War I. Thousands of people died because of him, and all countries were affected. World War I also changed the way countries fought in wars, making Princip’s actions more impactful than anyone in history. The archduke traveled to Sarajevo in June 1914 to inspect the armed forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, former Ottoman territories in the turbulent Balkan region that were…

It is no surprise that Beethoven liked to write, whether music or notes to himself. He even wrote letters to his friends, lover, and business associates. Though, the way he talked to these people is very confusing. In his letters, his personality is varied and unpredictable. There is also a shift as the years go on and he treated every letter differently, depending on the person. Hopefully, through these letters, we can get somewhat of an understanding of the type of person he was and how is…

What led to World War I? There are several things that led to World War I. World War I occurred between the year of July 1914 and November 1948.

Imperialism was because of the raw materials the areas could provide which caused them more or less to become greedy and…

like poland, greece ukraine, and prussia grew tired of being repeatedly conquered by different countries who viewed them as subject territories. It is unsurprising that a polish individual would want to be part of poland as opposed to Russian or german or Austrian after this kind of treatment. Nationalism lead to increasing volatility in many areas sparking both opportunity and danger for the large countries that wanted to maintain and expand their territorial empires.…

dramatically, Great Britain is a prime example because they spent more on their navy than their army. Germany was able to do the same but they increased their army since their positioning was horrible for them since they were between France and Russia as shown in the map of Document A and could be attacked from both sides at any time, which made them increase their army's strength. Since Great Britain spent so many pounds in their navy, they caused fear against the opposing…

In the beginning, the troops marched confidently onto the battlefield of their own death. The tension ran high between countries which started the tragedies of World War I in the summer of 1914. Europe was badly shaken due to the death of 10 million soldiers and another 20 million wounded. The war was primarily fought in Europe for four lengthy years. It is safe to say that the deadly global war had many movements. The three underlying causes of WWI are alliances, militarism, and imperialism.…
