Treaty of Lisbon

The Fourteen Points was an announcement of standards for world peace that was to be utilized for peace transactions as a part of request to end World War I. The standards were sketched out in a January 8, 1918 discourse on war points and peace terms to the United States Congress by President Woodrow Wilson. On that day Wilson gave what was to end up his most well-known discourse. Knowing as Fourteen Points Speech because it plot the fourteen components for which Wilson felt would be the…

Nicknamed “The War to End All Wars”, World War I lasted four years, killing seventeen million and wounding twenty million. At the war’s beginning, young men flocked to enlistment offices, hoping to feel a sense of adventure, hoping to bring honor to their families, hoping to become heroes. The nature of war was severely misunderstood, and as weaponry and strategic methodology began to develop rapidly, the atrocities involved with war quickly became apparent to civilians and soldiers. The war’s…

The Treaty of Versailles may have been written in an effort to stop World War I and bring peace between the opposing countries, but it 's outcome was much more harmful. Most facts show and support that the Treaty of Versailles failed in many ways, which therefore lead to World War I. Some facts that help me prove my point include, the treaty highly offended Germany causing them to want revenge, the treaty diminished Germany 's economy, and the treaty affected Germany 's military. All of these…

The German government sent Wilson a note requesting an armistice based on Wilson’s 14 Points, but France and Britain dictated the armistice. France and Britain required Germany to cancel the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and hand over their fleet of U-boats. Germany weakened when the monarch of Germany had to step down and give up the throne. After he stepped down on November 9, Germany became a republic. Wilson proposed his fourteen points, called…

The question is true because nationalism had a revolutionary impact that united people. Then it toppled empires composed of many ethnic minorities. This then contributed to the outbreak of wars in the nineteenth century because of all the disagreements of a multi empire. Document 1: The impact that the Levee en Masse had on the French people was that it wanted people to form an army. For everyone when put together they can create warriors to excite hatred of kings, and to preach the unity of…

The Great War was the birth of an unprecedented amount of death and destruction. The advances in technology and weaponry caused the deaths of soldiers and the destruction of cities to grow exponentially to an amount that had never been achieved or thought possible prior to The Great War. It was an end with the traditional style of warfare and the beginning of a dehumanized warfare. It could be said, in general, that traditional warfare died because of the dramatic increase in violence of The…

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.” That is a quote from Adolf Hitler himself. The reign of Hitler is arguably one of the worst time periods human history has ever faced (1933-1945). The German people loved and trusted him because he tricked them into thinking he wanted to serve his people. In reality, Hitler needed to gain the Germans trust first so he could satisfy his true agenda: eliminating the Jewish people because he strongly felt they…

The Battle of the Somme took place during the summer of 1916 and was one of the largest of the Great War. Characterized as a useless slaughter, the Somme highlighted for many the brutalities of war. The Somme was the most important battle in World War I. This can be demonstrated through an examination of its reputation as the bloodiest battle in human history, the complete disregard for human life on the part of British commanders, and the specific case of the Newfoundlanders at Beaumont-Hamel.…

War never changes. In John Reed's article "Whose War?" in April of 1917, he talks about the horrors of war and how people are so romanticized about the war that they miss that fact, the fact that people will die, the fact that their sons will not come home, or the fact that they will not come back the same man as they left. And for anyone who disagrees with the war is branded a traitor and un-American because that is what they believe. He talks about the irony that people who disagree with the…

Despite Britain being a superpower in the years prior to World War One, Britain was not an exemplary leader. In fact, it had fallen so far behind with important aspects of international relations such as trade that newer countries such as Germany were able to advance on its own and surprise Britain as it would be considered a legitimate opponent. This perspective of pre-war Britain is brought into the light in Arthur Marwick's "The Deluge" and Niall Ferguson's, "The Pity of War". Although both…
