Essay on A2 History Coursework

On June 28th 1919, in the Versailles Palace of France, the treaty of Versailles officially ended World war one. The signers of this treaty implemented certain restrictions on Germany that were to guarantee Germany would never start another world war. This begs the question, “what did the end of one war have to do with the start of World War Two?”. The evidence shows that it was this treaty’s influence on Adolf Hitler that led to the Versailles Treaty’s ultimate failure and provoked the start of the next world war. Because of this treaty Adolf Hitler’s economic plan, proposed while he was seeking political election, was focused on rebuilding and reclaiming Germany. This went hand in hand with the nationalist ideas of the Nazi party.

Gaddis uses the Treaty of Versailles as an example of how justice was more important than stability before World War 2. He points to the breakup of the Austria-Hungry empire and the harsh punishment of Germany as stories of how the search to justice came back to hurt everyone 20 years later. The victors of World War 2 learnt from their mistakes and instead of implementing something similar they simply divided areas of confrontation between the allies down the middle (Germany, Austria, and Korea) in the interest of stability and keeping the USA and USSR happy. Gaddis claims that the modern day system of bipolarity amongst nations is key to peace because it allows for many countries to grow economically but it ensures that the military powers of the world are the same as those at the end of the Second World War. Bipolarity after World War 2 was so methodical that no sophisticated leader from each country is needed in order to maintain it.

1. Humans first appeared on Earth during the Paleolithic Era. The evidence of burial grounds, stone tools, and other items shows a general migration path of humans out of Africa, and support the theory that these groups were nomadic hunters and foragers. Early humans were mobile and could adapt to different geographical settings from savannah to Ice Age tundra. Anthropologists infer that these bands were relatively egalitarian.

The significance of the republic policies were great, they brought a lot of growth in the 20’s allowing the market to strive over lots of trading and the purchase of shares, but was also an unstable market, as the government had no control over what it did and was left up to the

Historians have learned a great deal about the Crusades from chroniclers like William of Tyre and Ibn al-Qalanisi. Today, reporters and newscasters travel all over the world to report on international events, including conflicts. Reporters and world leaders use social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook to connect with the public.

The two historical documents, Narrative of Lavinia Bell written by an anonymous author in the Montreal Gazette and the Letter to an English Abolitionist by James Henry Hammond, shared their strong opinions on the important issue of slavery. These documents were written in the 1800’s during an era of progressive changes. One can identify similarities and many differences in their opinions, motives, and goals for their writings. I believe Bell’s account was written to show the perspective of slaves’ brutal view, compared to Hammond’s letter justifying slavery and the rights of the slaveholders.

D. The establishment of Great Powers as guardians of the European peace increased hostility and jealousy among nations as some of the non-Great Power nations felt hurt by their exclusion of this prestigious title.

Mayer’s strongest point comes in disputing other scholar’s tendencies to choose a favorite villain. He holds that whichever one they choose, all of them made mistakes in diplomatic tactics, they miscalculated the response of others, and their objectives were incompatible with continued equilibrium. Fischer will turn this same evaluation on Germany as the aggressor.

Numerous events and people have played a great part in shaping this country of ours into what it is today, the United States of America. Choosing such events or people to talk about is no easy task since there are so many that play a key role in how this country was founded, but the three different ones that will be covered in this paper are George Washington, the Revolutionary War, and finally the Civil War.

Much of Europe placed effort into their quest for global influence, and subsequently, domination in the 18th century. However, like many things in life, it was not an easy feat. They constantly faced challenges from diplomatic agreements and peaceful negotiation for rights in both foreign and domestic forces. Also, with new territory came struggles with the native people and their consequent allies. Finally, we must also take into consideration the facts that there were foreign nations involved. Their willingness to cooperate or fight with each other was an important dynamic as well as their role in trade. These factors contributed to the painful and long struggle for power in 18th century Europe.
