A Mass Of Thousands Of People Walk Into The Capital City Of Budapest

The nation responsible for the onset of World War I is Austria-Hungary because of the territorial and political stances with Serbia that provoked the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. After Ferdinand's death, Austria-Hungary initiated a call for support to the Germans about the problems in the Balkans, resulting in Germany confirming their assistance by issuing a “Blank Check.” Austria later gave Serbia a list of ultimatums that consisted of extreme demands in hopes of Serbia rejecting it. Since Serbia is a country where Slavic nationalism was idealized, it refused the idea of Austria gaining the right to control the investigation of Franz Ferdinand's assassination and have authority over the state of Serbia and this did in

World War I, or the Great War, was one of the largest widespread wars in all of world history. However, it set the path for World War II when other countries came to blame Germany and thus crushing their government and economy, and amassed large destruction over multiple countries in Europe, such as Britain, France, and Germany, especially. It is important to understand how these wars came to be. During a dispute between Austria-Hungary and Serbia,which led to the assassination of the Austria-Hungarian leader Archduke Franz Ferdinand, years of separate alliances, bad international relations, and growth of arms all brought up the then inevitable outbreak of World War I.

brother. Eugene did not have any relatives living with him. Eugene and his family were living in Hungary and their house as within a ghetto are. He used to go to a school that was more than 200 yards away from where he lived. In November 1938 the area where Eugene's family lived was given back to Hungary. On March 19, 1994 German forces occupied Hungary completely. Right after they occupied Hungary they immediately ordered Hungarian Jews to wear the Star of David and within ten days the Jewish population was moved into ghettos. His family took other people into their house because it was within a ghetto area.

In the year 1914, two gunshots had forever changed history. In this time, the countries of Europe had begun to rival in the topic of a greater territory. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had just won over Bosnia, causing considerable disagreement with the Bosnians (Nelson, 2015). Some Bosnian nationalists believed that Bosnia should be its own country, and not under the power of Austria-Hungary. Serbia also wanted the country of Bosnia under their rule due to the great population of Serbians living in Bosnia at the time. For this reason, Austria-Hungary disliked Serbia (Clare, 2002/2014). During this same time period, many other European countries wanted more land and began forming alliances. Serbia had allied with Russia, while Austria-Hungary was formed in alliance with Germany (Nelson, 2015). Despite all the conflict over land and the tension

Throughout all of the valiant efforts of Hungarian Students and workers the Hungarian revolution had begun only to see hundreds die and thousands more leave with fatal casualties. The only way the Hungarians could fight back was to take up arms and fight back with as much force as possible and eventually they did succeed only to watch all of their hopes a dreams crushed when the soviets returned to decimate the Hungarian Freedom Fighters within a matter of a few short days. The Soviet Union’s Reign had only ended when the Berlin wall was demolished in 1989 when other countries finally realized that the Communist were also a very large threat to the rest of the world, which bring me to yet another point in history when the same efforts concluded to very fruitful rewards.

The demands, “adopted at the storm meetings held at the universities” (Doc 1) call for freedom in harsh and extreme tones. Instead of compromise with communists, the students request for the “withdrawal of all Soviet troops from Hungary” (Doc 1) and to have “no interference in Hungary’s internal affairs” (Doc 1). As an alternative to Soviet rule, the students desire for Hungary to be in control of its internal affairs. The people of Hungary wish for “equal rights for individual farms and cooperative members” (Doc 1). Hungarians envision a life without communist rule intervening with the responsibilities of the country and demonstrate the idea by “[cutting] out the hated hammer and sickle that the Communists had placed at [the] center [of the Hungarian flag]” and proclaiming that they have created a new flag of freedom. ( Doc

World War I began in Europe in 1914. Europe was divided as two competing alliances, Central Powers (Britain, France, and Russia) and Triple Entente (Germany, Austro-Hungary, and Italy). On June 28, 1914, the two alliances started breaking apart. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his wife, Sophie, were assassinated by a Serbian nationalist while visiting Sarajevo. Austria declared war on Serbia as a result. This led to Russia defending Serbia. By August 3, Germany declared war on Russia and France and invaded Belgium. Great Britain declared war on Germany. By then, Europe and a part of Asia

Amanda Ferry Mr. Feddersen Modern Civ. February 5, 2015 Nationalism: the cause of World War One There were many things leading up to the start of World War One, but what exactly was the cause of World War One? Germany was jealous of all of the accomplishments other countries had and those countries weren’t exactly humble about their power.

World War I could be compared to playing a giant chess game between the nations. Austria-Hungary initiated the game when they declared war on Serbia the 28th of June 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro Hungarian throne 1. This game was constantly monitored by other nations, and many of them picked sides and joined in on the chessboard. On the sidelines, the neutral powers were simply spectators who kept their mouth shut and refused to cheer for either opponent. The United

When Austria–Hungary ended up at war in August 1914, due to being apart of the Triple Alliance, against the Triple

This essay will attempt to answer the question ‘To what extent is Austria-Hungary at fault for causing the start of World War One?’ This topic is significant due to the ongoing debate about how WWI started and because of the debt some countries only recently, have paid off. In 1914, the country to declare the first war was Austria-Hungary's(AH) declaration of war on Serbia. Following this was Serbia's ally, Russia, who mobilized its troops in preparation, and Germany soon after declaring war on the russians. As the snowball effect came into place, countries such as France, the United Kingdom and Belgium followed in declaring different wars amongst each other.

The soviets had held occupation of Hungary since 1946; the Hungarians were fed up with communist repression. On the 23rd of October 1956 a demonstration turned into a riot, where the Hungarian people fought to regain control of their own land against the soviet Government in Budapest. On the 1st

This started because of food scarcity in Petrograd, Russia. The food prices raised because of the food scarcity, so it was not affordable. That put 90,000 men and women to protest. Thank you.

One of the reasons led to World War One was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian (Fromkin 121). Although multiple reasons have been affiliated to his assassination, most of those reasons revolve around upholding Serbia’s power. On the one hand, Austria-Hungary had planned to attack Serbia since it was at its weakest point due to the adverse effects of the Balkan War they had just undergone (Fromkin 122). On the other hand, Serbia was making an effort to regain control over Bosnia-Herzegovina, which was under the control of Austria-Hungary (Fromkin 122). Before the assassination of Franz, the Bosnia-Herzegovina crisis had heightened to a point where Austria intended to invade Serbia (Fromkin 74). It was evident that Serbia, through the assassination of Franz, was seeking to retain its independence and protect its regions from Austria-Hungary’s influence by intimidating
