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…

Though World War I has been over for seven years, I believe this article contains important details about global consequences of World War I. As we are still struggling from the aftermath, I’d like to bring up a crucial consequence of World War I. World War I and the influenza pandemic took around 56 million lives, or three percent of the entire population in 1910 (Dunn and Mitchell, 731). These deaths should not be forgotten, they are a lost generation, the generation where almost all of us…

These word for word documentations and journal entries perfectly reflect what the Christmas Truce was about. Two conflicting armies on the battlefront celebrating an international holiday during a difficult time period. Both…

Mustard Gas, in World War I, was called the King of Battle Gases because it caused more battle causalities, as in injuries that took them out of the war and some deaths, than all of the other chemical agents used in that Great War (Everts, n.d.). This synthetic agent had an innocent beginning but rapidly became something the world rallied around to ban due to its harmful effects. In 1886 Victor Meyer first discovered the harmful effects of (ClCH2CH2)2S or what would later become known as Mustard…

Major Battles 1914, 38 million joined, 17 million killed, 20 million wounded. World War 1 was the beginning of serious conflicts between massive countries. Not only were the country’s involved fighting for their own rights as a whole but most importantly they were fighting for justice against their enemies. Conflict is another word for battles, ¨About two-thirds of military deaths in World War 1 were in battle¨. This war has affected countries in an economic and population aspect and has been…

frame nearly 3,000 Haitian peasants were being slaughtered as they rebelled against the pro-American Haitian President and U.S. presence. Wilson’s critical thinking was hindered by the False Logic “slippery slope fallacy,” as he believed European nations were strong enough to be self-determinate, however, if Haiti was left-to-be self-determinate an adverse chain of events would occur and Haiti would become a German territory…

long as it did and for the us to go so long without any major and obvious media for the united states to join the war, as there is not even one sole reason for the war to start there as not one sole reason for the United States involvement and the nations support. At the beginning of the decade, Japan’s unexpected victory over czarist Russia in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) left open the door for Japanese expansion in Asia and the Pacific, which for months the world had talked about in a…

All around the world, many people just like you and me are suffering, suffering to live, suffering to care for themselves because of war, these people are called refugees. Refugees face horrific life events constantly. Who are refugees, and how do they live? Refugees are people who are living in a country of terrible war and forced to move. Once refugees move out of their home country most are faced with severe poverty. Most parents can’t find a job to support their families. Therefore,…
