Throughout history, numerous events have changed drastically the world. World War I, also known as the Great War, conflict, chiefly in Europe, among most of the great Western powers, was the largest and deadliest war the world had yet seen. Many of the consequences of World War I still have on impact in our days. It ended empires in Russia, Germany, and Austria Hungary and caused Russia to turn to communism and become a totalitarian state with Stalin in power. The development of new weapons caused
World War 1 was a war that changed the world. It lasted from 1914 to 1918 involving almost all the countries with two different sides, the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance. The war was inevitable due to its causes. Those causes are nationalism, imperialism, militarism and alliances. Nationalism was one of the biggest contributors of starting the war. It is a feeling of devotion towards a country. This makes one country think they’re greater than the other. Nationalism war promoted during the
eventually led to the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Countries in Europe were expanding and taking over countries in Africa thanks to nationalism, and this competition led to high political tension that contributed to the Great War. This war was the bloodiest, most destructive war in European history up to that point, and it represented a major break from the status quo in many aspects of European life and politics. The war changed European history because war was taken to a new level, the European
World War 1 played a vital role on all aspects of human presence. One of the classes it substantially affected was the civil rights and status of woman in Australia. It reformed their lives in ways that were not imaginable without the existence of a war. World War 1 was a turning point for the economic, political and social expansion in their daily lives. Women had no opinion or voice of their own and were considered inferior than men. This however altered during World War 1. Without this change
World War One shaped Canada into a different country by forcing Canada into a state of total war. Canada’s army before World War One consisted of only 77,000 soldiers and an air force and navy with little resources, by the end of the war over 600,000 soldiers fought in battle and the air force and navy expanded and grew. The Canadians fought very well in battle and were recognized for having very effective soldiers during World War One.Women's roles on the home front changed because they had to fill
The First World War was the first war that Australian’s ever fought as a Federated nation. World War one was a time of great change for Australia. World War one had an enormous impact on Australian society and I will be support this argument by looking at how the loss of troops meant that more men had to be enlisted to fight and how the role of women changed during the war. I will also be examining the use of propaganda used to influence the civilian population. World War I had a significant and
The First World War had brought many changes to British society , yet it took another world war to truly change the face of British society. The years between the first and second war was Britain’s last hurrah as the imperial power it had been for close to 200 years. The country was 900 million pounds in debt to the USA, which had to be paid immediately leading to British investments being wiped out worldwide and the cotton and coal export markets to collapse . By 1927 Britain had universal suffrage
I do not think World War I came completely by surprise. The nations of Europe were forming alliances, mainly two camps, allied powers and triple alliances, were challenging each other for economic, military and imperial gains before the shots were fired of First World War. European states of the time and even the population and their politicians filled with nationalist pride and wanted to show off how far they have improved their armies and modern technologies that came with the second industrial
up massive armies to stave off war thinking that everyone else will be too scared to fight against them or so they thought. Things all changed when a gang of Yugoslav nationalists who didn’t like being part of Austria-Hungary shot the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand when he was in Sarajevo. Swiftly the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia. Russia came in to aid Serbia so Germany decided to declare war on Russia knowing that France would go to war with Germany – Germany decided
This Great War was the largest, most destructive war that the world has ever laid eyes on. WWI was a worldwide war that changed the course of the twentieth century and it wasn’t a good change either. From 1870 to 1914, some developments slowly increased tensions among the European powers that led to the outbreak of World War I.
