How Did World War 1 Change People's Lives

World War one, also known as the war to end all wars, lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. Germany was one of the central powers in World War One. Their biggest enemy was the Allied forces. Throughout the war, many factors such as the failure of Schlieffen Plan and the unrestricted submarine warfare had brought Germany closer and closer to failure in World War one. On 11 November 1918, Germany finally surrendered .They

WWI was not necessarily a distraction from either imperialism or progressivism, but it did affect them substantially. The war began in Europe in 1914 when Germany and Austria-Hungary went to war with Britain, France, and Russia. Bulgaria sided with Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire and were known as the Central Powers because they formed a large block in the center of Europe. Britain, France, Russia, and the United States were known as the Allied powers which over time included twenty-seven nations.

Both felt the impact of these losses and were unable to attack in the next few weeks to come. One Union soldier said, “My opinion is that this war will be closed in less than six months from this time.” Then after the battle, the same soldier said, “If my life is spared I will continue in my country’s service until this rebellion is put down should it be ten years” (Dillahunty, pg.1). This particular battle made the North realize the war wasn’t going to be an easy fight, while the Confederates now realized they couldn’t boast about their men’s fighting abilities after such a hard loss. Both sides had many volunteer troops during the battle, which showed how much motivation many of these young men had.

What is considered a scapegoat? According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a scapegoat means: one that bears the blame for others. Germany was viewed as a scapegoat of the Central Powers after the First World War, which made impact on Europe and the U.S. ― World War I began after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, involved many countries, had two fronts, and ended on the 11th of November, 1918 (BG Essay) ― and all the devastation and destruction followed. Germany gets to be blamed and called for the damages due to the creation of the Treaty of Versailles with the help of leaders of nations.

A war thought only to have lasted so shortly the soldiers would be home for Christmas, was one of the most devastating wars in the history of modern war. Rather than just a few month long war, World War One raged from 1914 to 1919. This war concluded with technically no winner or loser, rather, Germany sought out an armistice in an effort to end the fighting. After the conclusion of the war, the Allied nations gathered together at the Paris Peace Conference to decide the peace settlements. From this conference, The Treaty of Versailles was created.

On June 28, 1919, Germany and the Allied Powers signed the Treaty of Versailles, formally ending one of the bloodiest wars in modern history. World War I caused the deaths of nearly ten million soldiers and up to thirteen million non-combatants. Catastrophic property and industry losses occurred, especially in France, Belgium, Poland, and Serbia.

the Nuremberg Trials because people all over the world didn’t think that the Nazi’s deserved a fair trial (History Channel, par 7). However, after reading “Nuremberg: A Fair Trial? A Dangerous Precedent” by Charles E. Wyzanski and “Nuremberg In Retrospect” by Robert H. Jackson , I believe the Nuremberg trials was a “fair” trial, but wasn’t a real law trial. Almost a month after Germany surrender and World War II ended in 1945, four representatives of the Allied powers met in London to discuss the plan to deal with the accused captives (Jackson, page 4).

The Hundred Years’ War, despite the common misapprehension, did not last 100 years, however, its title remains true; it lasted a barbarous 116 years, beginning in 1337 ending in 1453. The consequences of this terrible war were impactful on both English and French sides and many brave heroes who fascinate both Catholics and non-Catholics arose including St. Joan of Arc. Some of the most significant elements consist of the role of the Popes in the Hundred Years' War, the ensuing balance of power in Europe and the importance of St. Joan of Arc. The Hundred Years’ War all began when Edward III of England claimed the right of the French throne after the last Capetian king died.

Many people say that World War I was one of the bloodiest conflicts that the world had ever seen. There are many reasons why people think this and one of them is due to the innovations in military during the late 1800´s. The world powers had expected a short war, but that was not the case. The immediate cause of World War I was the assassination of archduke of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand. But this was not the only cause of the First World War.

And there is still an inevitable element of lack of control that comes with every war. It begs the question, considering all of the aforementioned forces at play, of whether or not war is accomplishing anything when time after time again we are still struggling against the same

If Lee would have won this battle everything would be over and nothing would be the same in the history of the Civil War. We as the United States would not be one. This war would be remembered as the battle Lee first got defeated no one thought it could be done until Abraham Lincoln proved that

The War of 1812 involved three wars that were fought on separate fronts. Although America lost the war for Canada in the North, they won the western and southern war and the final war, the Battle of New Orleans under the leadership of the “war hero”, Andrew Jackson. Wrapping up the War of 1812 with the signing of the peace treaty in Belgium, in 1814, the British finally decides that the war with America just wasn’t worth it anymore. The end result was a negotiation between the U.S. and the British delegates. Each side drop demands one by one until the delegates agree to end the war officially.

There are many reasons why World War II started. To put into a big category, the main cause of the war is the first world war. The countries reluctantly signed the Treaty of Versailles, also known as the Peace of Paris, because it did not satisfy any country (History.com, 2009). After World War I, many countries were indebted and economically poor; this is known as the Great Depression.

“European nations began world war 1 with a glamorous vision of war, only to be psychologically shattered by the realities of the trenches, the experience changed the way people referred to the glamour of battle , they treated it no longer as a positive quality but a dangerous illusion.” (Virginia Postrel) Many soldiers did not expect WW1 to be as gruesome as it was. “The War To End All Wars” changed the way people looked at war not just soldiers but the families and friends at home.

World War II was a major historical event that affected many peoples lives. When the War first started it was in the United States best interest not to be a part of it. Everyone remembered the effects of World War I and thought it was better to stay out of it. After a while the United States began to support their allies while they kept their people out of the combat zone. The United States view changed on December 7th, 1941, when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.
