The First World War I

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

World War I began in 1914 as a result of several things including alliances and nationalism throughout the world, and imperialistic nations attempting to gain more global power. The United States tried to stay with the foreign policy known as isolationism and stay completely out of the war. However, due to Germany’s severe actions, America was forced to enter the war in 1917 on the side of the Allies. This greatly helped the Allies in accomplishing a victory. The war ended in 1919 although there were still bitter feelings between the different countries. Following World War I, United States’ government became more involved and there was rising conflict over political influence in other nations, the economy took a turn for the worst,

The first world war was one of the most brutal and remorseless events in history; ‘the global conflict that defined a century’. Over nine million soldiers and a large amount of innocent civilians lost their lives. Empires crumbled, revolution engulfed Russia and America rose to become a dominant world power. Huge armies deployed new weapons of devastating effect from rifles and pistols to torpedoes and flame throwers. These weapons were used not only in the trenches but by tanks too. This was an advantage to those who were able to access such machinery as they could easily launch bullets and missiles at nearby enemy bases. The downfall of the tank was the fact it was unable to cross the trenches. Tanks were not the only pieces of equipment that could access this machinery but U boats and planes too. The British carried ‘bolt action rifles’ in which fired 15 rounds per minute at a minimum range of 1,400 metres away. This allowed the British to take out foes at a far greater range. By using machinery in which rules out the need for getting up close to the enemy was a great advantage during world war one. Soldiers ran from trench to trench attacking with all that they had. This resulted in a massacre as the soldiers running toward the trenches were shot down. Machinery such as machine guns and heavy artillery were the weapons used in the trenches. In modern day society, machine guns are the main weapons used by soldiers. This wasn’t the case around the 1914s. They took four

World War I (WWI) had many main events from 1914 – 1918. It was known as the Great War and the war to end all wars. It also introduced us to many new technology to including Barbed wire, machine guns, artillery, poison gas, airships, aircraft 's, new naval vessels and tanks. All these wartime machines and equipment resulted in unprecedented carnage and destruction, with more than 9 million soldiers killed by the end of the war. This First World War or the Great War, was a global war centered in Europe. This global conflict pitted 2 groups against each other “The Allied Powers” and “The Central Powers”. The Allied Powers was made up of Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy and The United States. Important people that were known for the Allied Powers were Herbert Henry Asquith, Prime Minister (UK), Woodrow Wilson (U.S. President), Aristide Briand, Prime Minister (France), and Prime Minister (France). The Central Powers was made up of Germany, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. Important people that were known for the Central Powers were Prince Max Von Baden, Chancellor (Germany), Heinrich Von Clam-Martinic, and Prime Minister (Austria).

America’s participation in World War 1 made a huge impact on society. World War I, was not only a dispute among nations, but also affected thousands of people from all over the world, including African Americans, women, and even business and economic changes occurred.

The United States tried to stay neutral when war broke out in Europe in 1914, but the Germans violated their pledge with the United States; therefore, the United States was forced to enter the war against Germany. World War I brought a drastic change in America’s social and economic life. World War I is the first war to request mobilization of an entire population and economy. World War I brought a great demand in food, production of weaponries, money, and soldiers. The cooperation of businesses leaders, citizens, and agencies, composed of government officials, helped the government provide assistance and capability. For instance, businesses would offer their services at a low price. The War Industries Board and the National War Labor Board

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.

You are listening to WBML- 95.5 FM live broadcasting on your radio dial. I am Alice Jordan reporting your evening news on the Great War of 1914. Woodrow Wilson was the 28th President of the United States during World War one. The outbreak of the Great War of 1914, also known as World War I, started with the assassination of Austria Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who was shot to death by Gavrilo Princip (Columbia Southern University, (CSU), n.d.). The Prime Minister of Great Britain during the Great War was David George Lloyd (CSU, n.d.). World War1 was the very first modern and trench war, as well as, the last war governed by European traditional Monarchies (CSU, n.d.). Also, World War I created political dislodgments socially and economically that assisted in reshaping the Americans life, even after Armistice Day (Faragher, Buhle, Czitrom, & Armitage, 2009). The global effect of World War I involving the U.S. in regards to other countries in the world remained profound (Faragher, B, C, & A, 2009).

Leading up to the United States’ participation in World War I, propaganda by the American government was the main force in convincing the people that US involvement in the war was necessary. Buzzwords like “freedom” and “democracy” were used to incite patriotism among the people, but anti-war activists pointed out the hypocrisy of the American government using those words, when millions of marginalized Americans faced discrimination in their day-to-day lives. Many Socialists, black people, feminist women, and other groups had trouble fighting for a country who would not fight for their rights, or simply were pacifists who saw American involvement in the war unnecessary.

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

World War One, also known as the Great War, was a war between the Central Powers (Germany, Austria- Hungary, and Italy) and the Allied Powers (United Kingdom, France, Russia, and later the United States of America) from June 28, 1914 until November 11, 1918. More than 9 million soldiers and 7 million citizens died in or because of the war, making WWI the bloodiest war by far. Prior to the Great War, Tensions were growing, Nationalism was one the rise, and counties were making alliances and gearing up for war. United Kingdom, France, and the Russian Empire made up the Triple Entente while Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Germany signed an alliance treaty known as the Triple Alliance. It did not take much of a spark for war to start.

Soldiers, alive after the war, had a hard time to recover mentally. Veterans from the war are usually emotional when talking about this modern warfare. They have a hard time talking about this event that marked their lives. Unfortunately, we are losing the people that witness this horrible battle. A really good example of a person

Glenn Miller is an icon never to be forgotten. With his take on music, and traveling the world to different places, being an amazing influence to many young people got him far in his career of big band swing music. Art and music is also known as formal music, serious music, erudite music, or legitimate music (sometimes shortened to legit music) —is an umbrella-term used to refer to musical traditions implying advanced structural and theoretical considerations and a written musical tradition. World War I, also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war centered in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, though related conflicts began earlier. Alton Glenn Miller was an American big band musician, arranger, composer, and bandleader in the swing era. He was the best-selling recording artist from 1939 to 1943, leading one of the best known big bands. I would put the thesis here - something like - Glenn Miller’s exploration into big band sound, coupled with swing music, created a soundtrack for a generation that expanded over borders resulting in a cultural exchange that impacted music for decades to come (or something similar to this) - somehow, you have to tie Glenn Miller, as the father of big band, as both exploring new music, cultural exchange - sharing his music with other cultures. With this thesis, you’ll then have to go

As is the case with many wars, a foundation has to be set before the situation can escalate into a fully fledged war. Some concede that ephemeral events just before the outbreak of war are more inciteful of the fighting rather than long held animosity between nations. Others hold credence in the idea that wars often begin long before the first shot is fired, with their sole reason for starting being traced back to previous conflicts and tensions with other countries. The tensions of World War I could be observed within Europe before the war officially started, as is observed through German resentment and competition with other countries, along with their dominating foreign policies and support of their allied nations.

Certain aspects of German society following the events of World War I became radically unstable. Such instability from 1918 to 1923, led to a series of economical, political and social crises, which would drastically change the country. Certain parts of the country were highly progressive, while other parts remained true to right wing beliefs, and as a result, coexistence proved to be too difficult. While Germany was having its own civil issues stemming from internal unrest, outside factors would also greatly influenced the crises which would call into question the future of Germany. Although one single issue cannot be determined as the sole cause of the crises, the major influences which factored into the upending of German society can be
