World War I the first of its kind would mark an entire generation; could what today is known as the lost generation have been avoidable or was President Woodrow Wilson just prolonging the inevitable by his neutrality. The following will guide you through a brief outline of the WWI and how one man 's justifications sent an entire nation to war.
Woodrow Wilson, a man with questionable motives when speaking in terms of neutrality during World War I. Was Wilson’s neutrality an attempt to spare the us from the woes of war or was he reaping the benefits that came with a neutral title. The question may arise, what possible benefits could a war have, it is rather simple, if you are not one of the parties involved, and you do not put all your eggs in one basket, if all the conditions above line up then you can make a quick buck.
During WWI he United States profited from selling military essentials to both sides, Wilson’s neutrality stance became a great business opportunity for many manufactures. Industrial workers saw a high rise in demands and more job opportunities for every man woman and child. WWI soon became profitable for the American economy and essentially ensuring that the rich manufactures would get richer.But alas do not fear because American Businessmen also took in on the action much like one may place bets on a boxing match they bought war bonds from Britain and Germany securing a great payday given that they invested in the right one. no reasonable person or

Legacy Admission
As Peter Schmidt of the chronicle says, legacies originated after World War I to support the immigrant students, particularly Jews. When it became harder to control Jewish enrollment, in 1920’s most respected universities such as Harvard, Yale and Princeton considered legacy status. Since then it has raised the concerns for lower class families who did not attend good universities and their children wanted to attend but ended up not getting admission. In 2003, Senator
leadership and how it is significant in the battle of Gallipoli. World War I was the first global conflict. There were many territorial disputes and interlocking alliances that led to declarations of war and the act of leadership has consequences for many men both positive and negative. There were many leaders who were involved in the Gallipoli campaign who attempted saving nations and stopping conflicts. A few leaders of this war made the major impacts and decisions which lead to this outbreak of
reading Beowulf I have concluded that this book is meant to glorify the men who have fought and succeeded in violent battles. Those men hold a legacy and power in which there name is known throughout. Those same men have children or sons and their sons continue to hold that legacy with them and make one of their own, if they do not then they no longer have power and fame and become unknown. Therefore in order to hold a legacy, have power, and become known, one must fight in brutal wars and must win
It was around the 1920’s, about a year or two after the war. It was a happy and cheerful time known as “the Roaring Twenties” with new everything that everyone had to get their hands on, yet not everyone had most of the money to spend on everything. Until, Prohibition happened. Thanks to mafias, they kept the alcohol around. These men were pretty bad guys. I mean, they were into making deals, drive by shootings, prostitution, gambling, and massacres. They changed the so many things after their era
they live but when they die their legacies live on. That legacy motivates, inspires and guides people to become great leaders themselves. Their actions, decisions, methods, motivations are examined in depth. Their lives dissected in order to understand what made these people great, why they were able to achieve their incredible accomplishments. The purpose for all of that research and dissection is so that we too can become great and leave a tangible legacy. Never has there been a leader who
From what I have learned so far it appears that contemporary society has responded to the legacies of historical globalization, yet it hasn’t done quite enough to satisfy the concerned and affected. I would have to disagree to this statement, there are still some problems I believe needing to be addressed.
Reasoning
I have chosen the position of disagree because although contemporary society has responded to legacies of historical globalization, I think we haven’t done enough yet. Although we have
start of World War I, this was not the case. World War I began on July 28, 1914 when Austria declared war on Serbia because the Serbs did not accept all parts of the ultimatum sent to them. Because of previously established alliances, this initial declaration of war led to a deeper conflict. The Triple Alliance or Central Powers, which consisted of Germany, Austro-Hungary, and Italy, was soon at war with the Allies, which consisted of Russia, Britain, and France (Ellis 454-455). During World War I
The very first Jeep was created in 1941. This Jeep was known as the Military Bantam AKA the MB Jeep. The United States Department of War needed a new light, cross-country, reconnaissance vehicle. Therefore an American automobile company called Willy’s-Overland and Motors created the Army’s new vehicle. This vehicle was a 2.2L engine, 4 wheel-drive, 2-door, with a 3-speed manual transmission Jeep. The “Willy’s Jeep” another name for the MB was also a ¼ ton vehicle that was the top of the line military
The Arete of the Ancient Greeks
The Greeks occupied such a minute space of land compared to the rest of the world, and their existence is a mere flicker in time, yet their influence on civilization today is significant and obvious. So how did they do it? The Ancient Greeks were not perfect by any means; they practiced slavery, sacrificing, forced men to become warriors, confined women to the home, and were sometimes plagued by disease. Despite their pitfalls, the Greeks were still able to rise to
