Consequences Of Ww1

In 1914, World War 1 erupted in Europe. During the the first first two years of the war President Wilson decided that America would stay neutral. America did not want to get involved in a war that was not their battle to win. This benefited America because both sides of the war would buy supplies from America. Things were going smooth for America until Germany decided to attack American ships which killed many Americans. As tension grew between Germany and the United States, President Wilson still would not enter the war. However, that is until the Zimmermann note happened in which Germany proposed an alliance with Mexico via telegram if America would ever enter the war. That event was the last straw because in April 6, 1917 the United

World War 1 was triggered through the German nation wanting to expand their territory. The German nation was in direct competition with France and Britain who held larger areas of land and would later become Germany’s direct enemy. Conflict and tension between Austria, Hungry and an attack on Serbia with continued fighting in the Balkans was also a contributing factor to World War. 1. Politically WW1 lead to many new geographical changes on the globe countries gained and lost territories, socially there were 10 million soldiers dead, 20 million wounded and 40 million killed by Spanish influenza.

At the end of World War One, Europe was left in a devastating state, four major empires disappeared and the economy was profoundly damaged. The first global war had taken place and fear of a second one was strongly felt across the continent. In order to bring political order to European politics and to prevent such a catastrophe from ever happening again, the Paris Peace Settlement took place. The outcomes were the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and the foundation of the League of Nations in 1919. Despite the inherently weak attempts to prevent a repetition of WW1, twenty years later, WWII broke out upon the invasion of Poland by Germany. Although exploding from a

The United States Home Front faced social, political, and economic impacts during World War I, and as a result, many things changed.

The Home Front is often overlooked when discussing the impact of World War One (WWI), as the impact is often less glorified when compared to the bloodshed of the battlefields. This exhibition looks at life in Australia during WWI and explores the experiences of those away from the actual fighting who are at home. By extensively using primary sources and brief profiles of both notable and everyday Australians during WWI, the exhibit gives a holistic view on life in Australia during the Great War. The exhibit focuses on the themes of the initial excitement of those in Australia when the war began, technology advancements, how the public received news of the war and their reaction to it, as well as the sense of growing disillusionment that developed as the war progressed. It comprehensively looks at these experiences and emotions and describes them with clarity.

World War I began in August of 1914 and continued for over a span of four years. For nearly three of those years the United States managed to stay out of the conflict because many Americans believed in the U.S. policy of isolationism and keeping out of foreign or European affairs. However, Germany’s unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmerman Note ultimately saw the United States enter in their first world war. Entering into war was not favorable to many Americans who saw neutrality as their best bet during war time. Woodrow Wilson, president at the time, saw a need to get American behind the war effort and to see and end of anti-war efforts. These efforts would ultimately see a drastic change in the previously held American

There were multiple reasons that led to World War 1. This affected the US in many ways. One thing that led to World War 1 was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, done by a Serbian terrorist. This upset Austria-Hungary and this is why they wanted to go to war with Serbia. Because of friendship between them and their allies,their partnerships went to join war with them. One way that World War 1 impacted the US was through the Great Migration.

World War One. WW1 was different from other wars because the war involved many people fighting from different places, it was innovative and lastly the U.S. forced many people to join and fight. Throughout WW1 eleven countries were involved. There was two different sides in the war. One was the allies and one was the central.

In the aftermath of World War I, Europe would fall into a depression with the U.S following suit. On October 29, 1929 (known as Black Tuesday), the Stock Market would crash which would ultimately trigger the start of the Great Depression. Lasting 10 years, the great depression would lead to the unemployment of more than 10 million Americans and the closing down of many banks (which would lead to many Americans losing all their savings). The general public desperately needed the help of the federal government to get back on their feet, but like many people at the time, President Hoover did not believe in direct assistance from the government. As he stated in his Annual Message to the Congress on the State of the Union on December 2nd, 1930, “Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body--the producers and consumers themselves.” However, President Hoover did take some action in 1932, after realizing that that the nation was only falling further into the de! pression. Created to promote the idea of t.rickle-down economics, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation was meant to aid large business (via half a billion dollars)b in hopes that the “support” would trickle-down to the public in the form of more work opportunities and thus increased goods production. Despite his best efforts, the plan was seen as too little, too late and failed to make a difference

WWI was, at its time, the largest and most destructive war planet Earth had ever seen. Some countries lost millions of lives and nearly an entire generation. The war casted the world into massive debt and Europe was almost totally razed. The Allies sought revenge and not so surprisingly, they found it. The Treaty of Versailles stated that Germany must accept total fault for the war. Germany was forced to pay reparation money, which it did not have, to the Allies. This drove Germany into greater debt than any other country in the world. Its population felt wronged and cheated. This series of events led to far reaching consequences, ranging from the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany to the creation of countries such as

According to the article ¨World War I: Aftermath,¨ written by an anonymous author, on the website United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Europe had to have many burdensome reparations imposed and had a general inflationary period all because of World War I. To begin with, the social and economic upheaval that followed World War I powerfully destabilized Germany’s fledgling democracy. After the war, many Germans forgot that they had applauded the fall of Kaiser; therefore, they had welcomed a parliamentary democratic reform and rejoiced at the truce that was made. On the other hand, some individuals like the historian Friedrich Meinecke and Nobel prize-winning author Thomas Mann, had resisted democratic reform. Also, anyone who urges someone

The effect that World War I had upon civilians was devastating. WWI was a war that affected civilians on an unprecedented scale. Civilians became a military target.

Several consequences came about due to World War I. One consequence was the sudden dissapearance of an entire generation of male Europeans. During the War, men from many different towns and villages went off to fight, but in the case of suprise attacks or disasterous fights, the male populations of entire towns were wiped out. World War I also caused the borders of many European countries to change drastically. Entire empires disappeared, like the Austrio-Hungarian and the Ottoman, and new countries formed, such as Finland, Hungary, and Austria. These new countries often felt a huge amount of nationalism, and superiority over African and Asian countries. The ending of World War I also left most of western and central Europe still in a great

The influence of War range far and wide from beyond the battlefield to the homefront. War hungers for the blood of humans and animals to water the ground. Anger and hatred flows the veins of War and drives men to kill and destroy. When people utter his name they quake in fear for he only takes and never gives. War’s face shows anger, pride, and pain. His eyes shimmer with malice and cunning. Only the best men can learn and play his game and he is constantly changing the rules. War thrives on the aggression for humans and the innovation of men to adapt to his rules. War demands his price for the men who play his game. The sounds of War contribute to his haunting demeanor with the furious sound of gunfire or the eerie silence after, the screams

World War I was rising Nazi feeling across Europe, colonial and economic rivalries, which contributed to growing international tension. The main spark that started World War I was the assassination of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in June 1914. The heart of the conflict were the Central Powers, Germany and Austria-Hungary, and the Allied Powers, Britain, France, and Russia; Italy joined later in 1915, and then United States joined in 1917. World War I was the first war to be fought on land, at sea, and in the air. World War I brought more technological innovations than any conflict in history. Machine guns, battleships, land mines, barbed wire, engine-driven transport vehicles, and other
