Dbq Similarities And Differences Of World War One And Two

The world has suffered the consequences of more than one battle because of the unstoppable differences among people. As a matter of fact, a lot of unnecessary disputes have left an unprecedented legacy of blood, pain, and anger not only to the people who suffered them but also to the entire world. Some of these fights were in the name of justice, but that does not justify the fact that billions of innocent people were murdered. Two of the most disastrous events in history that almost left the world in a total collapse were World War I and World War II. These wars were very similar in some ways, however we can also find some differences among them.

One immediate impact is the horror of trench warfare as seen in the quote: “The first recruit seems actually to have gone insane. He butts his head against the wall like a goat. We must try tonight to take him to the rear (Doc. D).” from Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front. Trench warfare has an immediate and lasting impact on the soldiers fighting. The soldiers in the trenches see unthinkable and gruesome things that will drive many of them to insanity and help create the “lost generation”. In addition, another immediate impact of the war is women jobs, “Though we munitions workers sacrifice our ease, we gain a life worth living. Our long days are filled with interest, and with the zest of doing work for our country in the grand cause of Freedom (Doc. F).” from Naomi Loughnan’s “Munition Work”. This quote illustrates how women have found joy and purpose in working. This will later cause conflict after the war when the men return, but the women want to keep their jobs and continue working. Another immediate effect of World War I is The Women’s March in Petrograd illustrated in Document G. This march is a direct effect of the war in that the women were marching to end bread rations in Petrograd. It is also another example of women standing up and trying to make changes during the war. Furthermore, another immediate effect of the war is turmoil in

The causes of World War One and World War Two shared both differences and similarities, but I believe that overall there were more differences between the two. The social, political, and economic circumstances of the times varied, though at times correlated with each other, but there are extreme differences that help create a different atmosphere for each war.

Wartime is never pretty for countries that are involved. People do not like dying and families do not like family members dying either. Many times humans do not have much control over this, when a leader of their country backs another country when conflict happens. When World War I started many citizens benefited from the war because of work and many people suffered because of it. We as American now days need to understand how life was during those times so we do not ever end up that way again. World War I was a total war, citizens that could not fight in the war were put to work and people who could fight in the war went to war. Warfare changed completely with new technology being invented and with new tactics to try to defend and attack

Generally speaking, countries fight wars to gain independence for their own or power over others. No matter the reason, wars leave a great impact on civilians, militias, and countries as a whole. Sometimes it's a positive impact as the country successfully gets what they are fighting for. Sometimes it's a terribly negative impact and the country encounters great losses. World War I and World War II were those wars that had a terribly negative impact on not only a specific country, but the entire world. There are a lot of similarities and differences between World War I and World War II. Both wars were started off the need of power and

World War I killed thousands of people on all sides of the war. Some say it was just the beginning of World War II. The outcomes for some of the countries was good and bad. No matter what, World War I was just a prelude for what was to come with World War II.

Throughout World War One there were many issues that arose during the battle. An issue that came about was death. In any war there is sure to be soldiers, civilians, etc. to die. When one thinks about death being related to war most will automatically draw a conclusion that most if not all deaths are cause by close contact battles, gun shots, and in some cases friendly fire. Another key cause of death is disease. There were many diseases that took lives of those who were in the war. Diseases began to grow and spread due to poor hygiene and living, weather changes and even the common cold could be deadly. The struggles of dealing with these diseases were stressful on everyone. Some diseases went unnoticed due to fact that unless there was a

World War One (WWI) was arguably the most costly conflict in human history. With over "one third of men returning home" with serious mental ailments, this war had effects long after the armistice treaty (World War I Document Archive 18). This war lasted well past the signing of the treaty and went on to spark the beginning of the Second World War in 1939. Veterans were plagued with sickness long after the effects of the gas wore off and long after the guns fell silent, and to this day photographs of the trenches send chills down the spine of any man. WWI conjures up images of a no man 's land strewn with dead bodies; their

Throughout history there has been an abundance of bloodshed, hatred, and battles that have taken the lives of countless people. War is in our blood; it is part of being human. War is what defines different generations and proves one group’s superiority over their fellow humans. War is inevitable with all the different opinions and ethnocentrism on our globe; it is mostly a necessary evil in modern day wars. World War I and World War II had many differences and similarities comparable to the causes of wars, warfare, and the imperialism that took place.

World War 1 was “also known as the “Great War” this is because it affected people all over the world and it’s known as the biggest war anyone had ever known. The war was fought between two very powerful groups.” (The Week, Web) It affected people in so many ways but one of the biggest reason it affected people was that weather you wanted to be part of the war or not you were part of the war. This affected men a lot more for different reasons but a big reason was because even if men didn’t want to fight in the first world war they didn’t have a choice. “More than ten million men had been drafted for military service.Once the men were trained, they had to be sent to Europe by ships.” (Marquette, 10) Even if the men didn’t want to go and leave their families behind. Death was another big effect during the war, people were dying left and right. “World War 1 also saw knew heights of killing. Terrible new weapons made was more deadly than ever. About half the 65 million men who fought were killed or wounded.” (Marquette, 5) This was very devastating for all families and woman who had lost a husband or other family member. The first world war was the first war ever known, “World war 1 was the first total war. It involved everyone who lived in the countries that fought- not just the soldiers. In Europe total war meant that even civilians could be killed by bombs dropped from planes and balloons.” (Marquette, 27) This is meaning it was everyone for themselves because there wasn't anything that you could do other than to fight and try and stop the first world

In this article I’m going to compare World War One and World War Two with each other. I’m going to search for similarities and differences. Also I’m going to explain to you what actually happened in the First World War and the Second World War. This time, my information is not from the internet. I watched little movies about the First World War and the Second World War. In that way I understood the subject a lot better. Also from watching the little movies, it was sad to see how horrible the living conditions of the people were…

World War I played a major role in shaping the Lost Generation because it killed many people that would have been part of the Lost Generation. Even after the war ended, people still referenced and talked about it, and it continued to affect many people, including veterans and others involved in the war, such as nurses. The first effect of the war was that it killed so many people, so the ones still alive had to live with the sorrow. Those who fought in the war and survived were also scarred, both physically and mentally. They had faced the worst war fought to date and saw the mass killing and destruction of humankind. The images seen by the veterans affected their everyday lives because they could not unsee the horrors. The veterans were

Altogether ww2 was a hard war, even as hard as it was the U.S. still succeeded and beat beat the Nazi’s. The effect of the being in the war many families torn apart or even hurt by the hard war.

THE CONTRAST BETWEEN WWI AND WWII     The First World War and Second World War have many similarities as well as differences. The similarities are the obvious of engaging many nations to stop the threat of Germany in both wars. The main difference was the goal of what was being fought for. The Germans in the First World War were looking to gain control of the trade routes of the sea and a rivalry with England. The Second World War was a battle against the fascist party of the Nazi Germans, and against the Japanese empire, which was expanding to possibly meet the Germans.

Both World War One and World War Two caused a massive amount of death and agony. This came from new and improved weapons and fighting tactics. In both wars every side came up with a new way to get that edge on the opposing side. In World War One, one of the biggest inventions was chemical warfare “the first chlorine gas attack on April 22, 1915… this chlorine attack killed more than 1,100 soldiers and injured many more” (Everts par.1&3). After this first attack it became a race to create these chemicals to kill more men. Even though chemical warfare was not a big cause of the fatalities in World War One it was a very good psychological scare tactic.” (Everts). With the improvement of weapons by World War Two, the tactic for offensive warfare between both the warring parties were to use aircraft, tanks, and trucks (Overy 210). Japan created a team of kamikazes, otherwise known as suicide planes, to use against American naval ships (Peck and Heilbrunn). On the other hand, “the German and
