The Modern Middle East that most scholars know of today didn’t just come to be overnight, but rather decades worth of events during the 19th century such as WWI helping form the modern Middle East we know of currently. WWI specifically left a political impact to be exact on the political landscape leading to new beginnings and taking away old ones while the 19th century in general led to economic and social changes as well as political changes. To emphasize, WWI was to reason as to why there was a huge spread of different nationalisms leading to more patriotism that resulted in many nationalist movements. For example, a nationalist event that occurred was that Turkey had waged a war of independence in order to take back what was rightfully their territory because it was being allocated to the surrounding regional powers. Fortunately they won and were able to remain where they were and keep what was theirs …show more content…
Jordan from then on became dull and very needy in resources and finances making it a weak link up to this day. On the other hand, the same happened for Iraq, but Britain transformed Iraq in a source that was engineered for goods for the British that gave them all the benefits. As time continued in the 19th century, the state’s role expanded quite exponentially leaving a positive effect into modernization. Within more time to come, the new system believed that in order to continue modernizing meant to make a commitment to laicization which gave more power to the people. Due to this, they received more freedom and personal authorization. This shifted religion from public to more private though due to not have everyone under the same beliefs with the same practices. Sure it was less organized, but it was lenient to the people gaining their favor to openness to practice their own beliefs that they strongly believe
World War I, also known as the “Great War” was a global affair that started in Europe. This tragedy began August 1st, 1914 with Germany declaring war on Russia for multiple reasons. The acronym M.A.I.N is used to analyze the war and the four causes for why it happened. M-militarism, which was building a stronger military that was always prepared for war. A-alliances, were agreements between countries to keep peace among the Great Powers. I-imperialism, when nations seek to take over other countries politically, economically, and socially. Last N-nationalism, which is believing people should be loyal to their own country or nation. The top two underlying causes of World War I are alliances and nationalism because of how they effectively impacted
World War I, also known as the first World War, or the Great War, was a global war originating in Europe the began on the 28th of July 1914 and lasted until the 11th of November 1918. World War I was a war that was fought between two sides with a few of the World’s greatest Nations of that time. The two sides were Triple Entente which included Britain, France, and Russia, and the Triple Alliance which was consisted of the countries Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. World War I left a mark on history as we know it, what could have possibly led to that war?, What were the underlying causes of World War I?. The major causes of “The Great War” or WWI consist of four long-term causes and one short-term cause. The common acronym that’s used for the four long-term causes to help students remember the causes of WWI is M.A.I.N; the acronym stands for Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, and Nationalism,and the short-term cause The Assassination of the ArchDuke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo on the 28th of June 1914. To put all of this in a simpler way the five major causes of WWI was Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, Nationalism, and the assassination of the ArchDuke Franz Ferdinand. Each of topics played a significant role in the reasons why WWI would begin.
In these policies, European countries would claim land as their own in other parts of the world that weren’t as developed, like Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Tension would rise between these countries because of this claiming of land, especially when it came to Africa. It was called the Scramble for Africa, and almost all of Africa was taken under control by European powers, so territorial conflicts were not uncommon. This ties into nationalism because as these countries gained confidence, they spread their influence throughout the less-developed world. Another movement that could be attributed to the start of WWI is the industrial revolution, It started in England but eventually spread throughout Europe and even to the new world. In this movement, many new technologies were created, and the steam powered engine was a driving force for many of them. These new technologies enabled societies to accomplish things they couldn’t do before, and do things faster than before. Inevitably, weapons like tanks, submarines, biplanes, and poison gas also came out of this, and these are the weapons that did the talking before and during the
Nationalism had the most significant impact on the outbreak of WWI. Throughout Europe, countries began to break away from the empires or other places they were apart of to become their own. Looking at Document D “The Balkans region of Austrian Empire was a particularly tense spot. It was home to a large amount of ethnic groups and had a history of uprisings.” it is clear to see that Nationalism had a major impact in WWI.
It was much of practical pressure that arose from large-scale commerce and industrialization that later brought the modern state (Shively, 2014). The ideology was majorly moved the then intellectuals within the society.
World War I was the result of leaders' aggression towards other countries which was supported by the rising nationalism of the European nations. Economic and imperial competition and fear of war prompted military alliances and an arms race, which further escalated the tension contributing to the outbreak of war. One cause of the World War was militarism, which is a policy in which military preparedness is of primary significance to a situation. Another cause of the World War was nationalism. Nationalism is the pride and devotion form one towards his/her country. It played a great part in the causes of World War 1 because citizens wanted to stand up for their country, and fight for them. The third
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. The growth of militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism increased tensions that increased among all the European nations. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was caused by greed, chaos, and revenge Slavs in the Balkans during the 1917. World War I was caused from a conflict between Serbia and Austria-Hungary generating madness.
WWI began in in 1914 but there were many things leading up to the start of the war that were major factors. About 10 years before the war Imperialism was a major player. Imperialism is the expansion of a country overseas to gain useful resources. This moved U.S. power overseas along with other countries. It was a fight for unclaimed land and the need of resources from these lands. Nationalism is the love and respect of your country. Nationalism was a big part leading up to the war. Nationalism is good but there becomes a point when it’s too extreme and has a negative affect. Nation were becoming too self absorbed and not considering how their actions would affect other nations. Also nationalism within certain countries was an issue with different groups wanting to form their own nations. The expansion of militaries worldwide was a big factor because bigger militaries made it easier for any country to got into a major war like WWI. The advancement and purchase of weaponry and preparation were thing that were involved in military expansion. As the year 1914 approached there were some other factors that lead to the major conflict. A big one was the formation of
A positive note, over time the health status of our aging population has shown some improvements, this could be linked to the lower disease burden of recent generations. More seasoned individuals can live fiery and dynamic lives until a later age than in the past and on the off-chance that they’re encouraged to be profitable; they can be contributors as well. Additionally the likelihood of current intensive biomedical anti-aging studies should not be left out; they may increase the healthy and productive time of human life in years to

World War I, a war that started out locally in Europe between Austria-Hungary and Serbia that later ended up including thirty two different nations. This war has been around for almost a century and yet the causes of it are still being debated. There are many different scenarios that have been considered. Some of the key reasons that were believed to have instigated WWI were nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and an arrangement of treaties. Also the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was believed to be one of the immediate causes.
The part of the Middle East being discussed involves the following: Iraq, Transjordan, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon. All of which were directly impacted by the borders which were set up by European countries in the early 20th century. The borders had benefits of course, but they also brought with them quite a few problems. While the Middle Eastern borders are important to dividing that part of the world into different countries, the borders seem to have brought with them a lot of problems that the people living in this part of the world have had to deal with. There are multiple factors involved with this topic, including a few treaties, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company and the start of World War I. The different treaties were the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration, both of which involved European countries deciding the future of these countries. All of these factors had a direct impact on the Middle East and had a lasting effect on the people who live in this area of the world.
Ottoman Empire was an Islamic empire, which ruled Middle East and some other parts of the world for almost 400 years. On one hand Ottoman Empire became an ally with Germany in the First World War and on the other hand some of the Arab leaders held a revolt against the empire, which were the main reasons of its collapse. While Arab leaders were dreaming of an Arab unification, European powers were seeking their interest and try to secure the territories they took over in the war period. Versailles conference was held between Arab and the European leaders to define borders and create new states. Due to weakness of Arab leaders and their lack of experience most of the decisions were made in favor of the Europeans expectations of the state. And as a result Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon were emerged (Pappe, 2005) and (Fawcett, 2005).
Different regions in the Middle East have different experienced different levels of colonialism. Prior to the First World War some regions of the Ottoman Empire were already under the influence of European countries (Owen 2006, p. 23). Between the first and second world wars most of the empire was formally divided between, and under the control of, Britain and France (Owen 2006, p. 25) and even after the second world war European influence lingered. Cole and Kandiyoti describe these periods as 'informal imperialism
It has been over thirty-one years since the United States first waged the War on Drugs. This war has cost hundreds of billions of dollars to fight and has given our country many mixed results. We have seen fluctuations in the numbers over the years, which are, can be linked to different social fads and political agendas. Despite the enormous amount of money we have spent to rid our country of illegal drugs, we still have four million Americans addicted today. Stricter drug laws have caused there to be an overflow of prisoners convicted of drug charges and have transformed these people into tax burdens instead of taxpayers. Through the investigation of the drug war with President Nixon, through the peak of drug use in the late 70 's to the rise of crack in the 80 's and into the legalization of Marijuana, This paper will explain why drugs continue to flow into America at an alarming rate and try and uncover the effectiveness of the war.
