The Armistice of October 1918 may have ended the fighting between the Ottoman Empire and their allies, however it did not bring establishment or peace to the region. Syria, Palestine, and Iraq were all controlled by the British. The British, French, and Greek forces also kept close to march across the Bulgarian border and take over the surrounding areas, including Constantinople. Although the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, feared he would be removed from office by the Allies, they realized he was an important figure and anticipated that his retention would influence post-war stability.
Britain, France and the Russians declared war on the Ottoman Empire on the 5th of November 1914, Turkish forces operating from Palestine were restricted by water availability to within 60 kilometres of the Mediterranean coast. However on the third
The end of World War II was not just the end of war, but also the beginning of a new nation and era in the United States. The war was not all great to those that returned; the most common problem during this time was the return of American vets to their country. Many mans returned to their hometowns and newly developed cities to finally settle down and begin a family. Many of them were soldiers and prewar students, but they didn’t have a set place within the post-war society, and this created stress and struggled. The veteran return from war created a population and housing boom created by the benefits that each had from the GI bill. The post-war economic demand and the expanding of the Civil Rights movement led to many conflicts and discrimination in housing, education, and jobs. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) created policies that reinforced forms of segregation, and regularly denied low-interest loans to non-whites.
In 1915, the 25th of April, the Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed on Gallipoli peninsula, which is located in Turkish Thrace. The Anzacs had to expose the Dardanelles to the allied fleets both the British and the French to meet ferocious conflict from the Ottoman Turkish defenders. On the 4th of August 1914, Australia and New Zealand became involved in World War One. Britain had declared war against Germany and both Australia and New Zealand sent troops to support them. They were further supported by other colonies and protectorates of the British Empire, such as Britain and France as well as the Russian Empire to fight against Germany, the Ottoman Empire and also Austria-Hungary when the Ottoman Empire came into the war on the 29th of October 1914. The foremost objective was to seize Constantinople, which was the first city of the Ottoman
After this a period of reform happened that modernized the out-dated political and economic systems and to redefine the racial make up of the empire. Germany provided significant investment, and German diplomats became influential, despite Britain being the predominant power in the region, the Germans helped in retraining and re-equipping the army with weapons. Despite this support, the resources of the Ottomans were depleted by the cost of the Balkan wars of 1912&1913 and the French, British and Germans offered financial aid to the Ottomans.

Ronald Reagan is the president who emphasizes making the United States as free and affluent society (Park 2016). He wants people live together in free and peaceful world (Park 2016). However, in Reagan’s opinion, the Soviet is a threatening country to make world peace, so he decides to confront the Soviet (Park 2016). He has a somewhat positive attitude that the Soviet could support his foreign policies to reach world peace because he is basically welcome change and openness and he believes that freedom and security could move on together (ReaganFoundation 2009). For instance, Reagan says that the Soviet is still limited but recognizes an importance of freedom because he confirms that the Soviet promotes new reform and improvement policies
President Abraham Lincoln was the foremost topic of importance when regarding the causes for the crisis and war that took place in the United States presented by Douglass’ contemporaries. They claimed that before Lincoln’s presidency there was tranquility among the states: “Before Lincoln there was a peace; after Lincoln there was rebellion” (Shi, Mayer, 2013, p. 433). Ironically, the first task on Lincoln’s agenda for his presidency was focusing on maintaining peace within the states: “he was “devoted to peace”” (Tindall, Shi, 2013, p.494). Lincoln opted to make a statement during his inauguration promising that he would remain out of the affairs of the southern slave states and their slave business: “Lincoln repeats his pledge not “to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists”” (Tindall, Shi, 2013, p.495). However, Lincoln did not tolerate the secession of the southern states saying it was unlawful and that he would continue the same policies of taxes, tariffs, etc. that had been set in place before his presidency. Lincoln was under the impression that his actions would lead the states towards a time of peace. However, Douglass’ contemporaries believed, Lincoln’s presidency was a turn towards crisis and rebellion. The main issues at
Though a majority of the Armenian population in Turkey lived in poverty and despair, a small minority had excelled as best they could within their second class status, with many serving as professionals, businessmen, lawyers, doctors, artists, architects and skilled craftsmen. When World War I broke out in 1914, leaders of the Young Turk regime sided with the Central Powers (Germany and Austria-Hungary). The outbreak of war would provide the perfect opportunity to solve the ‘Armenian question’ once and for all for the Young Turks. The world’s attention became fixed upon the battlegrounds of France and Belgium where the young men of Europe were soon falling dead by the hundreds of thousands. The Eastern Front eventually included the border between Turkey and Russia. With war at hand, unusual measures involving the civilian population would not seem too out of the ordinary. At this time, about forty thousand Armenian men were serving in the Turkish Army. In the fall and winter of 1914, all of their weapons were confiscated and they were put into slave labor battalions building roads or were used as human pack animals. Under the brutal work conditions they suffered a very high death rate. Those who survived would soon be shot outright. For the time had come to move against the Armenians. The decision to annihilate the entire population came directly from the
In "To Kill a Mockingbird", Harper Lee highlights racial profiling and how people's perceptions change their actions towards others, which continues to be an issue in today's society. One racial issue we see during "To Kill a Mockingbird" is social injustice in the court system, shown through the Tom Robinson trial. For example, Jem doesn't quite understand the unfortunate, but true state of the injustice in the courts, so Atticus explains to him, "Tom Robinson's a colored man, Jem. No jury on this part of the world's going to say we think you're guilty, but not very, on a charge like that." (Lee 294). This quote highlights the racial injustice experienced for many in the courts, especially
Woodrow Wilson created the Fourteen Points in order to show what America wanted from the war. Out of the fourteen points, the first five were allotted towards bringing about general peace that would benefit economically and socially benefit the countries that fought in World War I. Wilson wanted to obtain peace for the Allies and “drive a wedge between the Kaiser's government and the German people by holding out to them the option of a humane and reasonable peace” (Brower). This intended to lead the Central Powers to agree with the Treaty of Versailles. Another objective of these points was to remove economic barriers for international trade and increase safety. Previously, the United States had dangerous experiences travelling by ship for
The war would end in the fall of 1918 after 4 years of fighting. Concluding the war the German, Russian, Austria-Hungry and Ottoman Empires would be left. The after effects of

It was said that World War I would be the war to end all wars; unfortunately U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was wrong. In 1939 Germany invaded Poland and the global conflict, World War II, began. Fought from 1939 to 1945, World War II consisted of the Allied Powers and the Axis Powers. The Axis Powers were led by Germany, Japan, and Italy. The Allied Powers were led by the United States, Britain, France, and several other countries. In total, over sixty million people were killed, making World War II the deadliest conflict in modern history. The intervention of the United States after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 brought the end of the war 4 years later.
During the mid to late 1800’s, Turkey lost many pieces of land by losing the war in 1829, and the Russo-Turkish Wars. Turkey lost Algeria and Tunisia to France, and Cyprus and Egypt to the United Kingdom. However, Cyprus and Egypt remained part of the Ottoman Empire until 1914. During the 1890’s a group of students and military officers secretly banded together and opposed Sultan Abdülhamit’s strict policies. The most influential group of these people was the Committee of Union and Progress. In 1908, members of this group revolted against Abdülhamit in order to force him to reinstate a constitutional government. This group made Abdülhamit surrender his throne in 1909. In 1914, the newly reinstated Ottoman Empire joined World War I on the side of the Central Powers. In 1915, the Allies tried to gain control of the
