World war

When World Powers Collide World War One, also known as “The Great War,” was fought between the Central Powers of Europe: Austria-Hungary, Germany, Italy and the Allies of Europe, who were also known as the Triple Entente: France, Russia, Great Britain, and the United States who later joined. World War One was an intense and violent war, that was triggered by the assignation of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. The war began on July 28, 1914, the day that history was changed forever. Although…

The debate whether World War One was a war instigated by fear or rather a war for motives of gain, has been a debate long fought by historians. Most historians however agree that World War One was caused by the tensions between the European powers and crisis of the balance-of-power system which divided Europe into two armed and completely opposed groups. Furthermore, based on historical evidence and the events leading up to World War One, it can be said that it was a war not only fought due to…

World War II: The Great War, Versailles, and Hitler When World War I ended the American attitude toward Germany was one of apathy and resolution. This ,coupled with the shared shrewdness and vengeful demands toward Germany inside the Treaty of Versailles, as well as Hitler's increasingly isolationist and Aryan views of the world and power, led to the catastrophe that was World War II. Even before the end of World War I, the American populous felt that anything German- music, food, language-…

“The War to End All Wars”. That’s what they called World War I when it was over. Why did they call it that though? Millions of people were fighting wars with their emotions, including several who were still fighting to fare back home and to lead normal lives. Millions of men died, as abundantly as large numbers increased missing. Still other people were severely injured. Thousands of girls still had troublesome lives. Let me show you how. Girls had to face heaps. They had school to worry about,…

World War One was the start of a new change for the world. But what really went on behind that? All of the small actions that made a huge difference. There were over 35 million civilian and soldier casualties in World War One. Over 15 million died and 20 million were wounded. People are not educated enough on World War One, people should know about how soldiers lived, what they experienced when the came home, and the impact that the women really made on the war. We we into World War One…

‘World War I was a European war.’ To what extent do you agree with this statement? World War I “sparked” in 1914, between Serbia and Austria-Hungary, then turned into a chain reaction of declarations of war that spread throughout Europe, and to other areas of the world. Because this became such a widespread war, but began in Europe and was caused by Europe, there is controversy and question as to whether the Great War was a world war, or in fact a European war. On one hand, World War I can…

The weapons of World War One shaped how future wars would be fought and the evolution of modern weapons. They also showed the people what weapons should not be in any wars under no conditions. WWI also goes to show you how fast something can be introduced and revolutionized to be better in such a short amount of time. Out of all the weapons in World War I probably the scariest weapons used would have to go to the gases. It was first started by the French with non lethal tear gas, soon it was…

When you think of the weapons of WWII, what comes to mind? Planes, tanks, money? Bullets, machine-guns, and grenade launchers? Yes, all of these were important tools in the effort to win the war.The most important tool of the war was the war poster's. The first war poster is the one about women working in factories while the men was away at war.The poster encourages women to help out on the home front.''Many women have more power than they recognize, and they're very hesitant to use it,…

be argued that World War II was a continuation of World War I. Or, it could also be argued that World War II was not a continuation, but that World War I merely "set the stage" for World War II. After much consideration, there really is a fine line between these two situations. As there were many ways in which World War I actually led to World War II, this argument will take the position that "World War II was a continuation of World War I". In fact, it could be claimed that World War II was…

During the 20th century, the world changed a lot from the changes in technology and other modern advances. A lot has happened but there were two wars that created a huge amount of change in the world. These two wars define the amount of devastation wars can cause and hopefully we do not repeat another world war. World Wars I and II were defining wars not just because they included a majority of the world, but some gruesome events occurred. Nations demonstrated to what lengths they would go to…
