The Great Wars

official correspondent and creator of the Australian War Memorial, Charles Bean is substantially responsible for the present perspective that Australians have of the Great War. However, by focussing on the Australian army nurse experiences, this conventional perspective of The Great War expands. They demonstrate that females endured chauvinistic constraints and agonising impacts while they succoured the injured soldiers. During The Great War, Australian army nurses were thought as inferior to…

This paper will attempt to further support the claim made by Tim Cook that rum was more than a drink, but a “medicine” for Canadian soldiers during the Great War. However, he asserts that prohibition was viewed as “patriotic” for those back in Canada. The dichotomous perspectives of rum and its necessity during the war is prevalent in the pieces by Cook and Thompson, as well as the primary documents consisting of letters sent home from soldiers that address and make mention of rum. The paper…

Great analysis, I believe the American colonists began to see themselves as less British were during the French and Indian War. I concur with your statement, that many of the colonists felt proud to be under the British rule and felt they should received the same privileges as England citizens. As the author noted, both parties agreed that the colonists were not part of the realm of England but citizens of separate corporate entities (Reich, 2011, p. 263). Therefore, the colonists they had…

In early twentieth century America, industrial and labor relations appeared to be at a crossroads. With the outbreak of ‘The Great War’, American industry was tasked with supplying essential products to the Allies’ war effort. At the same time, manufacturing managers faced a labor shortage and tense labor relations as major unions like the American Federation of Labor grew in power and prominence. In an attempt to bolster their labor force and alleviate these tensions, the National Association…

The Great War affected the African colonies in more ways than one, but the two greatest impacts that arose from the conflict have to be the absence of manpower due to the staggering losses sustained by the African peoples, and the slipping support for colonialism in the colonies directly after the war. These problems would come to hunt the empire in more ways than one. The heavy losses that the African peoples sustained during World War I, even with their limited support roles, was staggering.…

King George III King George III, a king of a war era. One of the most feared war leaders in history, and one of America's Great enemies. Because of King George’s Great War feats, his ruthless leadership, and his interesting personality, he is one of the most commonly researched war generals and kings. King George grew up in a town in England to his mother, Princess Augusta and father, Frederick Prince of Whales in 1738. His dad was an alcoholic and a smoker, which lead to his death in 1751 from…

once-proud traditions and ideals and adhering to violence, evil and terror can be seen in the German people throughout the rise of the Third Reich. Germany had experienced a crushing blow upon losing the Great War. The Treaty of Versailles punished Germany, incurring upon them the total cost of the Great War, a whooping 6,600 million pounds. On top of this, Germany lost an enormous amount of land to France, Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Poland. The German colonies were taken over by the…

took a saltwater bath that involved a rag and a bucket. The long night stretched before him. From the cockpit of his Sharpie, he contemplated the boat’s cabin. The small space made him feel like he was trapped inside an animal. In many ways, The Great War had faded for Jake. He’d learned to quiet his haunting memories during the day, but sleep often eluded him. Everything he wanted to forget revisited him at night, and the confined space easily transported him to the muddy trenches of France.…

The Great Awakening, Enlightenment, and French-Indian War all contributed greatly in regards to the American Revolution. The Great Awakening was very religion based as it consisted of two primary Christian religions, Anglicans and Puritanism. The two contributors that had inspired the Great Awakening were known as Jonathon Edwards and George Whitefield. The major goal of the Great Awakening is to spread the word for “Eternal Salvation”. Everyone can reach the afterlife, or Heaven, whether they…

what I believe makes me an American. Sports have been entertainment to most Americans; some Americans actually get involved and actually play the sport they enjoy the most. During World War 2 and the Great Depression all sports stopped but baseball and boxing continued. Boxing was especially important during the Great Depression because it made the American people forget about the big problems that were going on at the time. Sports have been around…
