The Harsh Punishments of World War I World War I, also known as the great war started after the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, this was the main agitator that started the great war, the assassination was followed by the domino effect. Over 30 nations were involved in World War I and there were two main sides of the war, Great Britain, France, The United States, Russia, and Italy (The Allied Powers) who fought against Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire ( The Central Powers). After the war nations agreed for this to never happen again. The Treaty of Versailles was created but helped cause WWII by treating Germany harshly, reducing their army, and by taking away their territory.
The countries that were involved in world war 1 were Serbia, Russia, France, Britain, Italy and the USA. The side that won the war was Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union formed a Grand Alliance that was the key to victory. Germany did not know they lost the war because German territory was rarely occupied in the war while Germany conquered a vast Empire in the east and subdued Romania and Serbia in the South. The war that the Versailles treaty officially put an end to was the First World War. The US president claimed that reductions to trade barriers, fair adjustment of colonies, and respect for national self-determination would reduce economic and nationalist sentiments that lead to war.
World War I was one of the very first wars that had a global effect on the whole world. According to the book about WWI, The Guns of August, A shocking 32 countries took part in it. In the very first stages of WWI, the U.S stayed neutral, and had good reasons for doing so, too. However, the U.S eventually became entangled in the conflict anyway. Three leading causes forced the U.S to join WWI.
In 1945, America used a new and controversial weapon to annihilate thousands of Japanese civilians to end World War II. Stretching from 1939 to 1945, WWII was a battle between the Axis and Allied powers. The Axis powers wanted to attack communists and imperialize nations. The Allied powers wanted to defend themselves against the Axis powers and protect their nation. The Allied powers defeated the Axis powers, but Japan continued to attack the Pacific coast.
Hitler was the main aggressor during 1939 who everyone appeased to, who is infamously known for his rise to power, his persecution of Jews, and his attacks on the world to dominate, that killed so many. Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, believed in the policy of appeasement and appeased Hitler at the Munich Conference which eventually lead to the start of World War II. The Western Powers responded to aggression with appeasement, and in 1939 the world was plunged into World War II, proving to the world that collective security is a better response to aggression. Hitler’s aggression was the main reason why Allied powers felt the need to appease. In 1930, after the Reichstag fire, Adolf Hitler rose to power because he was appointed
World War 1 was an atrocious war that caused millions of deaths and hundreds of billions of dollars in reparations. World War 1 lasted from 1914 to 1919 and rudimentarily, was the fight between the Allied powers and the Central powers. The Allied powers consisted of France, Great Britain, Russia, and Belgium while the Central powers consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. All countries had some participation and damage done throughout World War 1, and the countries who started the war may be obscure. However, there are some countries that can especially be picked out for their contribution and cause for the war.
Post World War II and entering the Cold War there was a lot of arguing about equality toward race, gender, and rights in the United States. World War II gave America an economic boom. Also, the federal government always had a stance and power over the society of America. They created laws based on the people in the federal government and their opinions. Which led to a court case known as Plessy V. Fergusson.
When World War 1 first initiated in Europe in 1914 with the European nations battling against each other, President Woodrow Wilson declared that the United States would remain neutral. However, after German U-boats began attacking and sinking American and other neutral countries vessels carrying innocent passengers and supplies, President Wilson urged Congress in his address to declare war. Wilson expressed that his decision was not based on revenge or demonstration of strength since “property can be paid for while lives of innocent people cannot be,” but President Wilson wanted to vindicate human rights and bring democracy and peace to the world that was under autocratic authority (Doc. 1). The United States must partner with democratic nations in the war to maintain justice and human liberties in the future by fighting any threats to this peace, including autocratic
World War II was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations. Mainly set in the war environment of World War II. The book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand was a great read. The book had a lot of themes pertaining to war.
Both sides fought the War over the issue of the Freedom of Jews and Hitler's invasion, while the Americans fought for Moral the Germans fought to preserve their own institutions. There were some countries that stayed neutral, and some that allied with us or were against us. The importance of knowing who allies the United States and who is against us lead me to study about this topic and tell you all my research. Many countries were involved in WW2, and an abundant amount that allied the United States(allied powers) respected them.
The beginning of World War Two started with the German fascism. Then what brought the Americans into the war was the Japanese. The Americans fought in two areas the pacific and European theaters. What ended it all was the Manhattan project and what followed it. Germans in World War One were vicious and ruthless killers.
World War Two was the worst war in the world. So many countries were involved,and billions of people died. It was very sad times when people had very little food,or things to live with. Some people felt they should rule the world,while some just wanted to end the war. One country that was involved in World War Two was Germany.
This point is important to talk about because prior to World War 2, Filipinos and the United States had a basic colonizer/colonized relationship based on reciprocation after the United States took over the Philippines. There were set responsibilities for both groups. The U.S. wanted to civilize the Filipinos and guard the Philippines from foreign interests, and in return, would allow the Filipinos to work in their fields as agricultural labor. However, when World War 2 comes along and the U.S. decides to enter the war, the responsibilities of the Filipinos to the U.S. changes. Using the rhetoric of loyalty and patriotism, Filipinos were given the responsibility as members of the Philippines, a U.S. territory, to fight on behalf of their colonizers,
Over the course of World War II many countries were stretched financially, militarily and economically. Large amounts of resources and money went into funding war operations that stretched from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic in the largest display of combat this world has ever seen. Many countries that found themselves ruled by a circle of influence from foreign power were now under less scrutiny and presence by foreign entities because of stretched military and power. One of the countries that took advantage of this lack of foreign control was Western India later named Pakistan which was controlled by Great Britain.
World War II was a war between the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, United States and
