Great War DBQ

After the deaths of 37,508,686 soldiers by the end of World War I, Europe was a mess. Countries had been dissolved and rearranged, governments had fallen and been replaced, and economies were thriving then crashing, all as a result from World War I. One of the main goals at the end of World War I was to prevent another tragedy like World War I from happening again. Clearly that did not happen, as World War II still happened, causing over 50 million deaths. The repercussions of World War I caused World War II due to radical ideology, bad economic conditions, and nationalism to the point of extremity.

I believe World War II change the American psyche by proving that as one country we all can come together regardless of sex or race when our country. Also it made Americans believe that they were unstoppable and able to accomplish any task that is thrown at their country.

After decades of salutary neglect Britain decided it was time to place stricter control on America. The British also needed money to pay for the Seven Years War, which they believed they should tax America for because they protected the Americans during the Seven Years War. From the very first day of America’s birth, America was a revolutionary force breeding new ideas of society, government, and citizenship (American Pageant pg. 126). When Britain stomped these ideas down, America’s revolutionary instincts were fueled and ignited.

The Seven Years’ War was the catalyst in this transformation as Pennsylvania’s backcountry erupted into violence, settlers struggled with the issue of defining who could stay and who had to leave Pennsylvania. Their solution proved paramount in determining the level of wartime violence against Natives, who they decided had to go. These frontier farmers learned to successfully demand protection and security from colonial officials, while simultaneously writing the Indians out of the colony in their petitions. These struggles also “produced good and evil, new beliefs [towards] liberty, and a new willingness to exclude and destroy” as the war dragged on. Also during this time, the British and Six Nations Iroquois found it increasingly difficult

The U.S. Government was responsible for Little BigHorn. In the Textbook, it describes how the Sioux were the cause of the war and how they brutally slaughtered all of the U.S Troops without mentioning the actions of the U.S. It presumes that the us troops wanted to hide the truth so the America doesn't look bad. This also happens in Document A: J.D Cameron Report. He's gives a report to the president saying that the Indians were attacking the settlers but without a reason. Both texts made it out to be the Sioux at fault. Having this evidence points towards the U.S. Government being at fault for starting the war.

One may ask the question, “Why did small countries want to start wars with countries that were world powers?” Grant it, the U. S. become an independent country by starting a war with the world’s largest empire, Britain, during the 1700s. One may see it like a small boy picking a fight with the biggest boy in school, maybe the individual wanted respect or he did not want others to bully him. So, why did Japan start a war with the U. S.? Japan definitely had a large enough military, about 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 soldiers willing to die for their Emperor. Japan also welcomed any type of ground invasion, it was their homeland and obviously they knew the terrain. Japan understood that they would have the upper hand if the U.S. invaded and there would

The twentieth century was the beginning of war around the world, revolution, Great Depression, and Authoritarian and Totalitarian government. The tensions between Austria and Serbia ignited after Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated by Serbian terrorists. The mobilizations and threats of other nations escalated that led to the outbreak of World War I (pp. 780, and The Dogs Do Bark) between the Triple of Alliance with Ottoman Empire and Triple of Entente with Japan. World War I was called “Great War” because of the large volume of mobilization of resources and populations, where all men forced to fight for their country and women (p. 794) were able to work beyond their capacity as farm laborers, truck drivers, chimney sweeps, and factory workers in heavy industry3.

What began as an assassination of a single individual, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, led to one of the greatest despairs in all of history. Known throughout the world as The Great War or World War I, this global war ignited battles throughout the entire world where the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire fought against the Allied Powers which included several countries including Britain and the United States. Lasting for four treacherous years, the war led to the deaths of millions of people. From mere citizens trying hard to live their life safely and away from all the violence, to brave soldiers who stood up to fight for their countries, people living all around the world had hardly had any any nice memories of days that had just passed by or hope for the coming times.

The Great War was the most calamitous war in history until the Second World War: an estimated 10 million belligerents died from all causes, moreover 20 million more were severely wounded. Estimates of human casualties are harder to make; the amount is colossal. Additionally, as Neil M. Heyman in World War quoted, "Not physically hurt but scarred nonetheless were 5 million widowed women, 9 million orphaned children, and 10 million individuals torn from their homes to become refugees."

The Great War was very different from previous wars. The war was fought on several fronts, the majority being on the Western Front. This front extended from Switzerland to the North Sea. This war also resulted in new technological developments to improve warfare. Life on the home front also differed as many of the women were forced to go to work and uproot and move to where the war was being fought. The civilians during the war also paid a hard price including financially, economically, and many lost their lives.

The cause of the war made almost 50 nation join to fight in the World War II. This war was one of the deadliest war in the world had ever seen. People all over the world were fighting i9n rage. This event killed many people around the world. 38 million people died in this war. Many were civilian’s that did not know to fight.

The First World War was truly ‘the Great War.’ Its impact on military operations was revolutionary. The war was started by imperialism.It was a practice of maintaining an empire, or a collection of colonies.An imperialist nation acquires new territories through exploration, infiltration or military conquest. Morale was also a key factor. All sides tried to explain and justify the war and used increasingly refined techniques of propaganda to maintain commitment to the cause. Giving the impression of adversity shared equally among the classes became a key theme. Human and material costs were enormous. Thirty-two nations were eventually involved in the end. All governments feared their people. Some statesmen welcomed the war in the belief that it would act as some sort of social discipline purging society of dissident values and

The First World War was commonly called the “war to end all wars,” although it clearly was not. Just twenty years after the end of the First World War, as French Marshal Foch had predicted, the world descended into a second war that was even more widespread and deadly. Directly or indirectly, the First World War yielded some 40 million casualties from more than 20 countries. In contrast, the 50 to 80 million deaths induced by the Second World War were mostly civilian. Russia lost around 25 million people alone. Due to these events the 20th century can certainly be considered one of the most vicious and bloodthirsty in European and human history. The First World War was caused by decades of suspicion and resentment, a complex web of international

The Great War is a very complex historical period. This war was based on alliances, new techniques of war, fronts of combat. The causes of the conflict come from a long time ago, in order to understand why the happened one must study the context, the background, and the conflicts between the countries who were implied in this war.

Russia was in war with Germany and their allies. Nicholas ll thought that with the war people would become more together, the nationalist feeling would grow and he would be the great leader again. Unfortunately, what happened was that people were more angry with him, because the people's suffering increased and a lot of people were dying, food shortage made the food prices became really expensive. Although the Russian Army had a large number of them, they were not trained for war, they were the working social class without fighting experience. Sometimes the soldiers were sent to battle without food, shoes and even weapons. Nearly two million people died and five million were injured. The people blamed Nicholas ll for the deaths of young people, they thought that the Tsar had to take Russia out of World War I but he did
