The Events Of World War I

The First World War fought from 1914 to 1918 was one of the largest and most brutal catastrophes fought in the 20th century. With nearly the entire European continent fighting a barbaric and everlasting war, the U.S. had eventually to get involved in order to reinitiate stability to Europe. Ultimately, the U.S. taking involvement in World War I had a profound political, economic, and social impact on the country. It increased government powers and solidified the nation’s leadership role in foreign politics. The U.S. emerged as the world 's greatest industrial power with increasing financial opportunities for minorities. At the same time anti-immigrant and anti- communist sentiments arose among many American citizens. And finally the war contributed to the massive migration of African Americans from the Southern to Northern states looking for employment and freedom and, first time allowed women to participate in jobs that were traditionally reserved for men.

Due to the failure of the Weimar Republic and general public dissatisfaction arising from poor economic conditions exacerbated by the Treaty of Versailles, coupled with the 1929 Wall Street Crash, German citizens were understandably desperate for change. Until this point in time the Nazi party, and Hitler, had been essentially unpopular. However, the economic situation ensured Hitler’s increasing popularity as the people looked toward more extreme but non-communist ideals. The initial consolidation of Nazi power in 1933 arose from key events such as the support of the Nationalist Party with the Nazis to form a coalition government, implementation of the Enabling

At the precipice of World War I (WWI), the United States Army enlisted the help of women nurses resulting in a growth of economic opportunities for women in the nursing field. Before the war women were confined to their stereotype of a being delicate, motherly, and fragile. The war served as an opportunity for women, including nurses, to prove themselves to be more than their stereotype and be involved in the community rather than always sitting behind a man. Propaganda encouraged women to be more involved in the war and soon the concept feminism was reinvented. Female nurses, however, were still struggling to change the minds of people against women taking an active role in society or the military. Nursing had always played an important

In addition to the damaging consequences of the First World War with the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles, certain features of Germany caused the state to be susceptible to the influence of this dangerous ideology. Along with the damage to the national ego as a result of the First World War, Germany had co-existing and conflicting highly modern strands of development forced to integrate with powerful remnants of archaic values and social structures, and had a deeply fractured parliamentary political system, and the weaknesses of this system reflected the social and political differences within the population. This shame and failure after World War I was superimposed onto a modern country which once had an advanced economy, a sophisticated state

Though men around the world were eager to march off to war, none of them knew the dangers that were ahead. During World War I, 10 million people across Europe died fighting for what they believed in. WWI lasted for four years between 1914 and 1918. Millions of soldiers around the world fought for what they believed in hopes of bettering their homelands and protecting their allies. People were happy to support their country in hopes of new opportunities and better resources. Soldiers predicted the war would be over in six months, but they soon realized World War I would last almost half a decade in the trenches. Though the main cause of World War I was imperialism, other causes include militarism and alliances.

November 11, 1918 marketed the end of World War I. During the 2 yeas the United States fought, women became part of the labor force as well as African Americans, the Nineteenth Amendment was passed and factories were booming. Even After the war men returned to the work force and quality of life started to improve. October 1929, the stock market crashed as a result of many buying goods on credit. The Great Depression was the worst in American history and lasted until 1939 before America started in War preparations for World War II. It was after 1945 when men came home and reentered the work force that quality of life improved and we begin to see the rise of the middle class.

The situations that arose in Germany were completely forced upon the country when Germany was forced to accept guilt for causing WWI. Being forcibly guilty put loads of pressure on the country. In Germany, the versailles treaty was considered an ‘Atrocious injustice’.(Doc H) When Germany was forced to take blame for WWI the inhabitants had to change practically their whole lifestyle to fit the new responsibilities placed onto their country. The Militaristic lifestyle the country once had was forcibly removed and controlled. Germany was

World War 2 was a huge turning point in history, that fixed most of the things related to wars that World War 1 was supposed to do but did not. There were many differences between the attitude of the US in World War 1, and their attitude in World War 2, mainly due to what happened in between the wars. Unlike World War 1, the second World War, was not about proving a point in the American’s case, but instead revenge for what had happened in between. In the process, the attitude of the American people towards war changed dramatically from the end of World War 1, to the end of World War 2.

A dilemma that was happening for many years can be resolved, but there will be disadvantages and advantages ,no matter what the outcome is. The Great War also called the World War I , started on July 28, 1914 in Europe.The war lasted for four years to end all wars that happened before involving other countries. From beginning to end of the four years, men were not the only ones working hard, so were women. When men went to fight in the war, it led to major grasps in the labor market, so industries and the government reached out to women and asked them to volunteer in specific jobs that were hiring. However the paying jobs did not mention to women that the high wage jobs were temporary.The government used a sneaky tactic on women in order

Before World War I, the countries of Europe competed with one another in a race to colonize the world. The end of World War I brought national sovereignty, and an end to colonization to the forefront of the Allies’ concerns as they drew up plans for peace, and as a result, the Allied countries received former enemy colonies to watch over and guide to independence1. As a result of this mandate system, among other colonies, France received Syria. Instead of guiding Syria to independence, however, as the conflict dragged on, France forgot its mission and attempted to subdue Syrian resistance to her humanitarian efforts. This paper will address the following questions: Who is more to blame for the violence, the Syrians or the French? What did

The Weimar Republic existed in Germany between 1918 and 1933 (The Weimar Republic). The new Weimar Constitution of 1919 gave German women suffrage as well as access to educational initiatives like sexual hygiene and birth control (Pine, 199). Women got the chance to join political parties, trade unions, and immerse themselves in political life (Frevert, 175). The Weimar Republic wanted to give German women a chance at political success so they created the Ausschuss für die Vorbereitung von Frauen für die Nationalversammlung, or the Committee for the Preparation of Women for the National Assembly, to help and inform new German female electorates (Frevert, 175). The changed perception and role of the German woman was dubbed the “New Woman” (Beyond). The phrase “New Woman” was a combination of modernity and tradition (Frevert, 176).

In the past, scholars have attempted to explain the instability of the Weimar republic. In his 1992 work The Social Bases of Political Cleavages in the Weimar Republic, 1919-1933, Jurgen W. Falter proposes that “distinct handicaps in Germany’s political developments, there were neither a homogenous nor dominate political structure”. This was in part due to the growing number of subcultures were unable to create social and political stability. In his work, Falter focus on historical electoral research to examine the “electoral strength” of the various subcultures. Falter creates a compelling argument, but he neglects other forces for the instability, and therefore is unable to address the issue in whole.

These drivers of change involved the economic situation within Germany, the social conflict across the state, and much political instability that occurred; many more conflicts appeared to Weimar through these three drivers of

The right wing enemies were people who grew up in the successful days of Kaiser’s Germany. They preferred the Kaiser’s dictatorial style of government and they liked for Germany to have a strong army. They wanted Germany to further its territory, and to develop an empire. They were proud of Germany’s powerful industry. They greatly disliked the Treaty of
