In those years Italy was a very poor country and after the war, the economy was slow to grow, especially in the south, which was less industrialized. With no jobs and no prospects, it was not surprising that many people decided to try their luck in America. Poverty and overpopulation were both big causes for Italians to leave Italy. We were used to work on farms in those years, but the soil was getting really bad and dry and it was hard to grow any crops. Because of this, there were very few jobs in Italy.
Together the three countries created the Axis Powers, where together they would dominate and becoming unstoppable. As you can see, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito all shared similar viewpoints and goals when it came to nationalism, saving their economies through expansion, and world domination through dictatorship. They would share and discover all of their similar goals after the had made agreements; henceforth, creating the Axis Powers where together they would become
As a result, it was King Francis I who assisted Ottomans in expanding to the Habsburgs. On the other hand, Ottomans helped in the election of the French prince. European powers allied with the Ottomans whenever it was profitable for them. Nevertheless, when they started feeling a great threat that the Ottoman expansion would drastically affect them, for the Ottomans had control over many trade routes and many resources, they unified against the empire. In brief, they typically cared about their own
Alan Turing When you think about World War 2, the first thing that comes to your mind is the conflict between the Allies and the Axis Powers. The four year gridlock between most of the world lead to one of the most devastating wars in all of history. The Germans forced their way throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa, taking over many countries in the process. Nazi Germany also managed to gain dominance of the Atlantic Ocean surrounding Europe with their highly superior U-Boat. One of the largest contributing factors to the German success, was the seemingly impossible-to-crack encryption device, the Enigma Machine.
The Overland Campaign was a turning point in the Civil War: it was a strategic victory for the Union, but consisted of heavy losses on both sides. In just 40 days, the Union lost 55,000 men. The Confederates lost 36,000 men, but with an army roughly half of the Union’s to begin with, their losses were proportionally much greater. The final battle of the campaign, Cold Harbor, led to extremely high losses on both sides, but was a defensive victory for Lee. Anti-war sentiments grew in the North and Grant was labeled “the butcher.” Despite the high losses, Grant knew this is what had to happen in order to achieve the North’s strategic objectives in the war.
This caused him to be widely known both among the Allies and the Axis powers. There were many factors contributing to the success of the Allies in Operation
The Western Allies quickly realized they couldn’t “kick a dog when its already down”, and that Germany was in desperate need of help.” Therefore, the Allies’ aim was to rebuild Germany’s economy. The Soviet Union disagreed with this plan immensely, and instead, they became busy with setting up Communist dictatorships in their conquered areas, such as the zone of East Germany. This major difference among these powers marked the beginning of the Cold War. The war was not of physical battle but of international diplomacy. Germany now became the prize struggle between enemies.
War broke out in 1914 due to forces that had been building up in Europe for years. While the Allies blamed Germany for the war too harshly, its actions certainly did directly contribute to World War I, as did those of Austria Hungary. However, each country involved fostered militarism in their country, and became in entrenched in the web of alliances and race for imperial power, all causes of the environment that led to the Great War. Therefore, it could be said that all European countries were responsible, in part, for World War I, as reflected in Documents 5, 6, and 7. Militarism, the glorification of the military, affected most of Europe at the turn of the twentieth century as demonstrated by Documents 1 and 7.
Why America Joined WWI America was influenced to declare war on Germany in 1917 because they thought they could gain economic benefits. This event happened after the Progressive Era when the S enate decided to declare war on Germany in 1917, because of the destruction of the Lusitania. At the time America was an economic powerhouse and this war would allow them to have world dominance if properly executed. The German Naval Policy which was lacking is what influenced America to join the war, due to the U-Boat that destroyed the Lusitania. America had trade routes across the Atlantic ocean which made the economy massive, However the problem was European countries cut those trade routes off with Naval Blockades.
The most important of these are : greater army, control of the sea and support of the USA since 1917, while Germany was already running out of supplies and soldiers. One of the earliest causes of the Allied Powers victory was the failure of the German Schlieffen Plan. Its aim was to occupy the France, coming through the Belgium, and then, when these would be under their control, it would create one big front to fight with Russia. Unfortunately, everything went wrong, Belgium soldiers were extremely brave, what delayed the German advance. Germany did not manage to break through to France as quickly as it intented to.
