At first Prime Minister Lloyd George did not enforced conscription to Ireland because of their strenuous relationship. He and other members of the cabinet knew that Irish conscription would not aid the war effort, as it would jeopardize the Irish Convention, which had been searching for a solution to the Irish Question. Up until the German Offensive destroyed Britain’s fifth army and the pressure to conscript Ireland became overwhelming. Prime Minister Lloyd George had pressure coming from every…

The big “red scare” of 1919-1920 resulted in a nationwide crusade against left-wingers whose Americanism was suspect and was a godsend to conservative businesspeople, who used it to break the backs of the fledgling unions. “Red Scare” was important, because it led to violations of individual’s rights. Sacco and Vanzetti Case Nicola Sacco, a shoe-factory worker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a fish peddler, were convicted in 1921 of the murder of a Massachusetts paymaster and his guard. The jury and…

When a glass shatters, even when pieced back together, it is never truly the same as it was before standing with its cracked frame. The same can be said for a world that has gone to war. Ontario in particular, is a Canadian province that has not flourished because of World War 1. Wars in many cases are beneficial as they increase a countries productivity and bring unity to a countries people but not in this case. This paper is written to illustrate how World War 1 was adverse in transforming…

During World War II, countries, including Germany, Italy and Japan, intensified nationalistic beliefs, leading to a desire to expand. Germany in Northern and Eastern Europe, Italy in Africa and Greece, and Japan in Asia and the South Pacific are one of the many examples that reveal such needs of expansion.1 This development between many worldwide conflicts over expansion and power, particularly the battle between Japan and the United States, strengthens. Events that were known as the most…

War is a devastating thing, many people lose lives over it, and for what, land, money? With war, there are more losses than gains, there is a loss of lives, money, and especially the society's economy. One famous instance of this is in World War One, which was mostly placing in Europe. On July 28, 1914, Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia, and because each of those countries had alliances with other countries, they were forced to join them in that war. This erupted to an all out war between…

The lives of women and civilians transformed greatly during the Great War. Women contributed to industrial needs by taking on men’s roles and occupations when the men left for war such as running businesses and managing farms. It benefited the women because those manly jobs resulted in high wages. However, the male jobs exposed women and children to the crucial work and dangers of war. Many women and children worked hard and long hours in factories and the factories were surrounded with…

As the war was in its final moments of finishing Wood Wilson had pointed out 14 points that could potentially lead everyone to peace and finally end world war one. In Woodrow’s Wilsons’ he included that there shouldn’t be any secret treaties between nations due to the fact that having a secret alliance could potentially trigger a war. He also included self-determination multiple times in his 14 points. Ultimately Woodrow Wilson wanted the people to be able to have freedom of where they would…

feel a sense that they have to protect their homes and they have a responsibility towards their country. An example where Churchill combined both pathos and logos at once is “Against this loss of over 30,000 men, we can set a far heavier loss certainly inflicted upon the enemy. But our losses in material are enormous. We have perhaps lost one-third of the men we lost in the opening days of the battle of 21st March, 1918, but we have lost nearly as many guns -- nearly one thousand-and all our…

On January 26, 1934 Poland and Germany signed the Nonaggression Pact, because Germany wanted to build up their armed. However, “Polish authorities interpreted the pact as Hitler's consent to deal with their German minorities as they wished” (Komjathy and Stockwell 70). As a result, they “proceeded with its Polandization policy” (Buell 49) and speeded it up (Komjathy and Stockwell 70). In 1935 Poland started to bring the minority organisations into line, despite various minority declarations and…

Some progressive groups suggested that there was much need for moral reform in America. It was argued that in many urban areas, corruption invaded political establishments. Progressives pushed for social purity and sought to rid these urban communities from corruptions such as alcoholism. According to Barnes & Bowles (2014), “In addition to middle-class women and Protestant clergy, the movement attracted nativists and racists, who argued that immigrants and African Americans were more likely to…
