As a quintessential example of peace settlement, Treaty of Versailles has been widely regarded as the last page of World War One, following the armistice, formally marking the conclusion of war status between Germany and the Allied and Associated Powers (Brezina, 2006). However, the Treaty has only enjoyed limited success and was, paradoxically, accused of laying the cornerstone for its predecessor, the following World War Two (Keynes, 1920; Schuker, 1992; Taylor, 1991). The cardinal objective…

World War I was the worst conflict in human history with regards to personal experiences in war due to the unique circumstances surrounding the fight. The struggle signaled a shift from war being seen as a chance for glory to something that should be avoided at all costs. Why was World War I a major turning point for how the people of Great Britain perceived war? Due to the growth of literacy rates in the 19th century, the true realities of war were revealed to mankind for the first time. The…

Adolf Hitler is responsible for the mass murder of almost 40 million people. He had a very strong sense of German pride, he resented the Treaty of Versailles and found it degrading to the Germans. Although Hitler was born in Austria, he found himself in control of the German empire, fighting to make the country a single race. From a very young age, Adolf Hitler had been interested in German nationalism. He was born in Austria on April 20, 1889. He was the fourth child of six, his parents Alois…

Unveiling Past Heroes The Holocaust is a catastrophic part of human history that revealed many heroes through its destruction. The Holocaust was born through Hitler’s twisted “campaign against the Jews” that started with his rise to chancellor of Germany in January 30,1933. He thought that to protect the supreme Aryan race he would have to get rid of all Jews. By the end of Europe’s war in May 8,1945 approximately six million Jews were killed and five thousand communities destroyed. Hitler…

on the wall and many of them fled the country. As Crowe explains, Kristallnacht was “an anti-Semitic reign of terror that forever transformed Nazi policy towards the Jews” (145). Another precursor to the Holocaust was Hitler 's invasion of the Sudetenland and take over of the rest of Czechoslovakia. After he took over Czechoslovakia it was clear that Poland was going to be his next target. His invasion of Poland was enabled by the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was a secret…

Section A: Plan of Investigation The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact1, a non-agression pact between Germany and the Soviet Union, was signed in Moscow, Aug 23th 1939. This pact included a secret protocol between these two powers to divide Eastern Europe into their spheres of influences. Could it be said that this pact triggered WWII in Europe, if saying that the war began in 1939 when Poland was invaded? This paper will research and analyze ideas considering this pact as an important short-term,…

Wars can be traced back to prehistoric times. They consisted of aggression, high death rates, and property destruction. It was not until World War I and World War II did the world experience a new level of warfare called Total War. It was no longer just about the soldiers fighting on the battlefield, but also women, children, and entire civilian populations. Total War changed the nature of war itself along with the weapons used, battle tactics employed, life on the home front, people’s roles in…

The trial of the defendants before me, your honor, is an act of injustice. The entirety of these Nuremberg Trials is illegitimate, clouded by irrational, unjust, and hypocritical accusations that at their core sprout from the victor’s justice of the Allied justices that come from France, England, America, Russia, and countries of the like. When I turn my head in search of a justice whose bias doesn’t lie with Allies and when I search for a justice whose conscience isn’t subjugated by victor’s…

At the conclusion of the great war world leaders came together to support the international movement for peace. The peace treaty they created, The Treaty of Versailles, was created to reprimand the nations responsible for the war and to stop any future wars from happening. The Agreements outlined in the Treaty of Versailles at the conclusion of World War One created a brief period of peace, yet it ultimately led to the rise of Fascist leaders such as Adolf Hitler and the beginning of World War…
