Ralph Bunche is one of the many people who can say that they had a lifetime of achievements. Ralph Bunche was the first black Nobel Prize winner for maintaining peace between the continually feuding Arabs and Jews in Palestine, and this the reason why I want to research Bunche into further depth. His other major projects as UN under-secretary-general were stopping military conflict in the Suez Conflict, orchestrating the Congo (Zaire), Cyprus and Bahrain, and served as part of the board of the…

Sound Off: Military Technology and Technique 1. Rank order the technologies that had the greatest impact on the conflict. I. The Utilization of offensive operations characterized the conduct of World War II. Technological advancements allowed forces to maneuver at faster in order to maintain a relative advantage over the opposition. II. The use of the tank revolutionized the war as it facilitated high speed maneuver tactics. Unlike The tanks of The Great war, World War II tanks had improved…

The Mandates created by the European Powers were, in their own language, made to protect the “peoples’ not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world.” The purpose was not the installation governing bodies akin to the ones established during the 17th and 18th centuries of European Colonialism, but instead, European nations were intended to look after these countries “well-being and development” in order to create nations capable of one day governing…

When Woodrow Wilson attended the Pairs Peace Conference, he had a ridiculously large amount of public support. Many Americans believed that Wilson’s fourteen points would make World War I the war to end all wars, but as a result was the reason for Germany to enter World War II. Wilson originally wanted all fourteen points apart of the Treaty of Versailles. Wilson initially had the intentions of a new world order, allowing freedom of international waters, freedom of international trade,…

In November of 1918, World War One finally ended with the signing of an armistice by Germany, Britain, and France. This ended the long and grueling war. The effects of WW1, the armistice, and the following Treaty of Versailles in 1919 were powerful and set the stage for the tumultuous years to come. While there were many lasting and relevant effects of World War One, the Russian Revolution, the idea that Germany was a “losing power”, and the development of new nationalist and racialist groups…

The Federal legislation that made illegal to speak out against the government, during World War I this would be infringing on free speech. This should be taught or reminded to us that the government cant be aloud to silence people no matter what they say. The Espionage Act enacted on June 15, 1917 the Espionage Act prohibited individuals from expressing or publishing opinions that would interfere with the U.S. military’s efforts to defeat Germany A year later, the U.S. Congress amended the law…

In early 1915, Germany had a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare which meant they could torpedo and sink armed merchant ships but not passenger ships. They broke this policy on march 24th 1916 by attacking a French cross-channel passenger ferry called the Sussex. 50 people died and even though no US citizens were killed, the attack caused president Woodrow Wilson to declare that if Germany continued with this behavior, the US would break diplomatic relations with them. In 1915, the first…

Identification and Evaluation of Sources To what extent did Leonardo da Vinci’s tank affect the tanks of World War I? The selection of this topic was an interesting process. Leonardo da Vinci is arguably one the greatest minds in all of Human History. I (as a Historian) enjoy the works of Leonardo da Vinci, as well as his affect on the introduction of tanks in World War 1. The investigation will use a compare and contrast, and argumentative formats. The sources I have selected to evaluate are…

World War I was known as “A war to end all wars” – HA! If only there were such a thing – to live in perfect harmony is only a dream. World War I didn’t solve any of the initial problems that caused it, which contributed to the outbreak of World War II. Everything afterwards didn’t unfold as expected. The German empire rebuilt itself, Hitler rose as Dictator, and millions of bodies followed. It’s as if World War I was just the opening scene to a gruesome horror film. The things you have to…

War was an armed dispute among nations who could not patch up to agreements and the purpose of war was to win something in return. In war there always has to be a winner. Many people question whether World War 1 was avoidable. In my opinion World War 1 was not preventable due to the build up of militarism, alliances and nationalism. Militarism was one of the causes why war was inescapable. Militarism is belief where gaining superiority plus nation’s power was through maintaining as…
