How Did World War 1 Change The Politics Of The 19th Century

The First World War impacted significantly on the homefronts of the participating nations in many different social, political and economic areas. There was a widespread restructuring of primary industry with a large orientation towards militarism. There was massive political change where new systems of power were introduced that gave governments a range of new powers including the control over industry. The civilian population had severe restrictions placed upon their rights and liberties due to the necessities that total war required.

World War 1 has been a famous war throughout history. Many films have been made surrounding it, sometimes realistic and sometimes not so much. Paths of Glory and All Quiet on the Western Front were two such movies that depicted the Great War. Each movie is unique in their own sense and although no movie will completely convey the harsh reality of the war some movies are better than others. Depending on when and what year the war would have looked vastly different to different soldiers. Some would only know the reality of the trench while others would recognize “tanks” rolling over the ground which were impenetrable to normal gun fire. Which side of the war one was on would have also lead to different views, as in when one side is winning the other is losing, and when morale is up on one side normally morale is down on the other.

World War 1(WW1) introduced many different types of machinery and weaponry to the world. It was known to be the greatest enhancements technological warfare. It introduced many different types of machinery and weaponry to the world. Some examples would include the first models of tanks, machine guns, airplanes and aircraft carriers(History 1). As the war progressed in years, the weapons and machines got substantially better. These improvements contributed and influenced modern war tactics which in the end, results in an overall more deadlier war.

Advances in technology changed the dynamics of war during World War I. WWI was the first extensive war in which all nations felt the effects of war whether through a social, political, or economic impact. through One of the major impacts of trench warfare was that it made it difficult for the Allied and Central Powers to secure a victory. New technology such as the machine gun brought massive death and casualties. Armies in all nations started to need a larger population of soldiers to fight because of the amount of soldiers that were wounded or killed. These technological developments in war include trench warfare, chemical warfare, machine guns, and airplanes. These improvements in technology made war extremely dangerous. In regards to

World War 1 had many positive and negative impacts on the U.S. society. This is because directly following the war something called “the progressive era” began. During this time working conditions were getting better and so were women's rights.

World War 1 changed the world around it. More men fought than one could comprehend. World War 1 almost destroyed an entire generation of men. The battlefield for Australians were lined with trenches filled with disease, pests and the fallen where they had medical aid. They experienced traumas not yet known commonly at all. The war was not embellished for its inhumanity in its time but as we see now the men and women who helped with the war effort lived with fear of death, disease and infection.

World War I, also called First World War or the Great War, was the first global conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918. Some of the people who suffered the most on WW1 were the soldiers and people who lived in the Home Front. Soldiers didn’t live a normal life, they lived in horrible conditions. It was dirty, that’s why there were many animals like rats, frogs, insects etc., that eat the soldier’s food and contaminated it, by eating contaminated food soldiers got sick that’s was one of the main reasons why soldiers died.

World War I gave many impacts upon the American Society from giving the U.S.A. and its industries success and economic strength. It also pushed the advances in technology and gave multiple jobs to many Americans. Women began working while their husbands were away, for the need of jobs that men would have or any other needs that needed to be done.

World War 1 had dramatically and tragically impacted soldiers due to the living conditions in trenches and the use of weaponry. Firstly Trench warfare’s was used to protect the soldiers from enemy, gunfire and grenades. The depth of the trenches was the key aspect of having a successful trench, as it would allow soldiers to be protected from enemy gunfire as they stood or moved about. Trench warfare occurred as a war tactic, where both sides dug deep trenches as a barrier against the enemy. The trenches massively affected soldiers as it caused a number of casualties on the battlefield and horrific diseases from health problems. Trenches were contaminated with rats and lice. Climate gave trenches unpleasant and terrible conditions. Charlie shows

World War I had a more profound effect on society than wars prior. With new deadly weapons, like poison gas, high death tolls, and the first occurrence of total war, shocked the world, tearing people between the modern and the tradition. Traditional society was torn down by the destruction of the war. As with most literary movements, writers reflect the world

During World War One (WW1) various technological advances occurred and had a positive influence on warfare. People claim that the war was deadly due to the creation of new weapons and military tactics that were put into use. Although it can be seen as negative due to the number of casualties and the amount of conflicts that arouse, there were various benefits to the technological advances during the First World War, because trench warfare was introduced, new military tactics formed, and more efficient weapons were created.

During World War I there were a lot of advancements in technology and weaponry that affected the war. The impact of advanced technology it had on World War I was it made the more difficult and dangerous for the soldiers that did most of the fighting. The new technologies that were created during World War I led to trench warfare and also the lack of new skills led to many massive casualties because of the advanced of technology. New technology in the form of machine guns that were rapid-fire artillery that gave a big advantage to any country fighting during World War I. Another technology that made the war even worse for soldiers was mustard gas. This poisonous gas effected both sides of armies because they felt that using mustard gas

World War I was one of the most destructive wars in modern history. Nearly ten million soldiers died as a result of hostilities. The enormous losses on all sides of the conflict resulted in part from the introduction of new weapons, like the machine gun and gas warfare, as well as the failure of military leaders to adjust their tactics to the increasingly mechanized nature of warfare. A policy of attrition, particularly on the Western Front, cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

On June 1914, the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was killed with his wife by a Serbian secret group. This assassination changed the history of the XX century. Consequently, Austria-Hungary declared the war on Serbia before sending them an ultimatum. From this point on, a large series of events between countries occurred. Russia decided to attack Austria-Hungary to defend Serbia. At the same time, as Germany belonged to the Triple Alliance together with Austria-Hungary, they decided to declare the war on Russia. Due to the rivalry between France and Germany, the Germans declared the war on France by creating and following the Schlieffen plan, which their main objective was to invade France through Belgium (who was a neutral country during the war). However, Belgium didn’t agree with the Schlieffen plan, so Germany decided to invade them. As a result, Great Britain declared the war on Germany. At this point, almost every European power was involved in the war, however, probably most of them didn’t knew what they

World war 1 changed America economically, politically, and socially, but the widespread of disease hit the United States terribly. In 1918-1919, the World suffered a flu epidemic with no cure to prevent it from spread as well as taking the lives of many. When soldier came home from fighting in World war 1, they brought along with them the flu into the United States. Unfortunately the flu epidemic usually claimed the lives of healthy young adults stead of usually claiming the lives of young and the old.( Doc 6) The death toll around the globe was from 20-50 million dead including 550,000 American as well. Despite these negative impacts on the U.S, World war 1 caused the growth in employment in the U.S giving jobs to immigrants as well as Americans. The United States during the World war traded with other foreign countries around the world in order to gain supply cheaply and manufacture weapons and supplies to the American army, but even though this benefited the U.S, Labors went on strike. Labors went on strike due to the fact that Federal regulator had kept the workers wages low during the war to maximize their businesses so that they may thrive during the war.(Doc 8) Labors were very upset due to the fact that they expected that during wartime their wages would increase, this was their motive for going on strike. Another way WW1 impacted America was through migration.
