The Great War , or as it is known now, World War One was a global conflict fought between the Allied Powers ; Great Britain, France, Russia, and the United States along will other smaller nations and the Central Powers ; Germany, Austria – Hungary, Turkey/Ottoman Empire and other small nations from 1914 to 1918. World War One began from a series of tumultuous events, that in turn affected the balance of alliances that had been made between countries at that time in the world.

World War 1 was fought between the periods of 1914 to 1919. It is also known as the Great War. WW1 began as a conflict between Serbia and Austria-Hungary. The conflict spread like wildfire, dragging almost all of the countries in Europe into WW1. Lots of reasons are given onto the cause of the war and what eventually concluded the war. My paper will discuss the different aspects of the war, especially the U.S.’s contribution and involvement to the war.

“A Splendid Little War” was an alternative title to the Spanish American War named by Ambassador John Hay to his good friend Theodore Roosevelt. This war was one of the shortest wars of all time, lasting only about four months. Surprisingly, the main cause of death in this war wasn’t by being shot, but by dying of diseases such as Yellow Fever, Malaria and other diseases. Only 9,413 Spaniards were killed by wounds and combat and 53,540 were killed by many diseases. In this “Splendid Little War” America was able to free Spain's overseas empire which included Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. The United States was also hungry for foreign good that weren’t available to them in the homeland. After an easy victory over Spain, American was able to control islands in the seas such as Cuba, The Philippines and Guam. After this war, Spain was no longer a world power and the United States was on its way to the top.

“World War II and the Depression are now nearly as far back as we can go in living memory, and so the loom large in our active folk story. And many who lived then were too young to understand it in its depth; they remember only that the war was a great victory” (Adams 115).

I believe that the “War of the Worlds” is an classic because H. G well make an exciting plot , standard character an old fashion setting to make “The War of the Worlds” a story for the ages.

This book was situated in World War I, where numerous nations were put in an undesirable position, the European nations all felt that it would be a short war and numerous individuals enlisted, yet ended up being one of the bloodiest wars ever. Serbia and Austria-Hungary began the war, they did not get included in the war, and they let their Allies battle for them. The Allied forces: Great Britain, France, and the U.S. crushed Germany. They made a bargain: The Treaty of Versailles, which greatly reprimanded Germany. The bargain left Germany with scorn in their souls, which prompted World War II. In All Quiet on the Western Front, Remarque

War, a state of armed conflict between different nations and states. Both nations Texas and Mexico were disputed on their countries borders. Many Americans felt like they wanted to go to war with Mexico and used any reason no matter how big or small to do it. America tried to meet with Mexican representatives to settle the borders, but neither side did much talking. The United States was not just in going to war with Mexico due to them picking on the smaller country (Mexico), Mexico was just defending the borders Mexico thought they had, and Polk sent troops near the border of Mexico and was unclear on his intentions.

On December twenty-third of the year 1776, Thomas Paine wrote the renowned words, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” Never had truer words been written. Not only was the revolution trying for the men of the colonial army, but for the British army, and all those who had something riding on the outcome of the war. Though they were subjected to different sides of the war, George Washington, King George III of England and William Howe all experienced the hardships and trying times of the year 1776.

The thesis in the article ‘The origins of the World War’, by Sidney B. Fay, can clearly be stated as the explanation for World War I. Fay states that no one country is responsible for the creation of the war. Furthermore, he goes on to explain that each of the European country’s leaders did, or failed to do ‘certain’ things to provoke the other countries into a war. Fay states, “One must abandon the dictum of the Versailles Treaty that Germany and her allies were solely responsible. It was a dictum exacted by victors from vanquished, under the influence of the blindness, ignorance, hatred, and the propagandist misconceptions to which war had given rise.” (Fay, The Origins of the World War). His main arguments are his explanations of how

July 16, 1945: This date is one of the most important days in world history. It is the day that the United States successfully detonated an atomic bomb just outside the Los Alamos research facility in New Mexico. It is also the date that created a massive conundrum for newly inaugurated Harry S. Truman and his closest advisors. War with Germany was over but the end of the war in Japan was a long way off, and was becoming farther out of site. The island hopping strategy employed by MacArthur and friends was stalling out. It was becoming more and more clear that the war with the Empire of Japan would be fought harshly to the very last man of the Imperial Army. Harry Truman was faced with a choice: use this new immensely powerful super-weapon on the mainland of Japan, or invade the main island and suffer a massive loss of life for an already bleeding America and Japan. The eventual decision came down to the value of American soldiers’ lives. While Harry Truman may have believed it was the correct military decision, diary entries, letters to loved ones, and top secret minutes reveal that he was struggling with the moral aspect of taking so many civilian lives and “uniformly and extensively devastating” two cities of Japan.[1]

What if your friend was being bullied by another kid? Would you join in and defend your best of all best friend? But then the bully would get all of his/her friends and then you would get all of your friends. Wouldn’t you think there would be a lot of tension? But then someone makes a stupid move, such as throwing something (or something like that) and then everybody starts to beat each other up! Well that’s what happened with World War 1. There was a lot of tension in between Austria-Hungry, Germany, Italy and Britain, France, Russia. But then someone had to shoot the Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his rich wife. That, my friend, is when the stick broke. In 1913, the World War 1 was declared a war! Austria-Hungry was furious that their

War is controversial, unfortunate, and certainly misunderstood; it is a transforming agent, a catalyst for change. Nonetheless, many people focus on war's negative consequences, while positive effects are downplayed. War is a necessary evil in the sense that it stabilizes population, encourages technological advances, and has a very high economic value. Without war, the overpopulation of the human race is inevitable. It is this reason that war is a useful tool by not only Mother Nature, but also humans themselves to institute population control.

1. International conflict among countries is more likely of what we may think. Today there are many different ongoing conflicts. International conflict is a stage of opposition, disagreement or incompatibility between two or more states (Malek). The term "international conflict" referred to conflicts between different nations and conflicts between people and organizations in different nations (Mr. Turetzky lec 11). It also applies to inter-group conflicts within one country when one group is fighting for independence or increased social, political, or economic power. International conflicts can be divided into two branches: private international conflict and public international conflict. A private international conflict is a disagreement

War has been a part of human culture since it's birth. It has led to a great many massacres and has shown us the evil that exists within the souls of humanity. Some have even gone as far as saying that war is human nature. To better understand the reasons behind war and how it affects others, I've examined several different societies and cultures so as to better understand the necessity of war and see the cause of their external war attitude. To do so, different variables from two topics (military institutions and external war attitude) were matched up and crossed so as to look into the answers to these questions. The variables were then calculated and through these graphs, I was able to find different societies in which
