The Negative Impacts Of Global Interrelatedness

It was written in Versailles and ended WWI. It pushed all of the blame onto Germany and made them repay the allies that were damaged by the war and limited their military. This was the main cause that started the tensions that started WWII.

World War I ended with the Treaty of Versailles, a treaty that was largely negotiated by the Allied Powers - primarily Britain, France, and Russia - and whose purpose seemed to be the punishment of Germany, who had been part of the Central Powers. Germany was widely blamed for causing so much destruction measured both in lives and monetary value during the war, and once they lost, the victors imposed harsh sanctions and restrictions on German trade and military. Germany was unfairly used as a scapegoat at the end of the war, and did not deserve the restrictions and blame put on them. Such restrictions were morally and ethically unfair, and left Germany no room to rebuild their economy after a war that left them in shambles. During his

Seven and a half months after the bloody fight of World War 1, which had begun on June, 28 1919; it finally ended in November 11, 1918, the Versailles Treaty was formed by the Allied nations. This treaty was formed by Great Britain, France, and the United States after defeating Germany and leaving an estimated amount of 10 million soldier and 7 million civilian casualties, when the Treaty of Versailles was formed, France wanted revenge for the suffering caused by World War I, and England agreed to this. The Versailles Treaty, lead to World War II since it produced more conflicts with Germany, when they were angered and humiliated, imposing four, harsh ways such as: territory loss, military restrictions, economic reparations, and “war guilt.”

WWI ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty was 15 parts and had 440 articles in it. It was talked about with the allied power and resigned with Germany. The treaty was strict for five years after it was put in place. Germany paid under the Dawes plan and the Young plan, but was cut off in 1932.

World War I is a war that took the lives of more than 10 million soldiers and over 7 million civilians, and wounded 10 million more. It was a conflict between the Axis powers, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Turkey, and the Allies, France, England, Russia, and Italy. After the war ended the leaders met at the Versailles Palace just outside of Paris for a treaty to settle future disputes and avoid war. The treaty was finally signed on June 28, 1919 and because Germany was responsible for war damageous and costs, they were angry and humiliated. The Treaty of Versailles lead to World War II through territorial losses, military restrictions, economic war reparations, and war guilt.

The Treaty of Versailles was a controversial treaty, not only because of what it embodied, but what it took to get the Treaty in motion. The Great War, or World War I, lasted between 1914 and 1918. This war occurred over a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, political alliances between nations, ethnic tensions in Europe, and most of all, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Austria-Hungary. With the bloody stalemate continuing without any end, the United States still held its position as a neutral world power, but events, such as the sinking of the Lusitania, caused the United States to recant its neutral position to a position in fighting against Germany. The end of World War I officially ended by the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, but wasn't signed by the U.S. Whether this was President Wilson's fault or the Senate's fault, has been questioned over the last decade.

On November 11, 1918, Germany signed an armistice ending the fighting of World War 1. At the time Germany was facing invasion with their loss of manpower and supplies. They signed the agreement with the allies on a railroad in Compiégne, France. This did not end the war it just stopped the fighting. The signing of the treaty of Versailles would end the war for good.

In the book, Culture War by Morris Fiorina, his political stance on Americans not being polarized has not been caused by a growing significance of the political parties today, rather a change in the government over the years. He believes that the two parties, Democrat, and Republican are the most polarized while the public is not. Abramowitz argues that there is no polarized relationship between the American people and the political parties. He believes the polarization is reflected through those who are politically informed and those who are not. While recognizing both of these views, Fiorina and Abramowitz will give us background knowledge on why America is or not polarized and what are the misconceptions that shape that further

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury that demonstrates the future effects of screens and media on society. The main character of the novel is Guy Montag, who begins as a “fireman”, destroying books. Mildred, his wife, is the character who is most affected by technology and is detached from the real world surrounding her. The novel demonstrates a pessimistic view of the technologically advanced world because of the negative impact it has on people. Numerous times characters see a mirror image of themselves, which Bradbury focuses on. The motif of reflections and mirrors are used throughout the novel to symbolize moments of realization, one seeing their true self and one’s impact on society.

The 20th century brought with it a rapid expansion of the global interrelatedness of the world. In the beginning of the 20th century the world was dominated by a European world system of colonial empires that was created through expansion by sea (Findley, 2011). The competition between Britain and the other colonial powers led to an insatiable appetite to expand their empires across the globe (Findley, 2011). As the 20th century progressed this European world system collapsed and a new three world system of the United States, Soviet Union, and the rest of the world emerged (Findley, 2011). The end of the century coincided with a new era of globalization that was made possible by the introduction of global communication via the internet (Findley, 2011). This new technology brought the entire world closer together than it had ever been before. The four events that best illustrate the progression of global interrelatedness throughout the 20th century are the Great Depression, World War II, Cold War, and the introduction of instant global communications via the internet.

World War I led to the fall of four great imperial dynasties: Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey.This resulted in the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. In the end Germany got blamed for all that occurred during the war.The Treaty of Versailles, was the peace document signed at the end of World War I by the Allies and Germany. It reassigned German’s boundaries and assigned liability for reparations. The German government

World War I formally ended on June 28, 1919 when the treaty of Versailles was signed in the Palace of Versailles in France (U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, 2015). Even though this was the official ending of the “Great War,” fighting had come to a halt seven months earlier with an armistice, or temporary agreement to cease fighting (U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, 2015). This armistice took place on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month (U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, 2015). This has been known as “the war to end all wars.” On November 11, 1919, President Woodrow Wilson declared this day as the first commemoration of “Armistice Day” (Wilson, 1919).

In 1919 at the Paris Peace Conference The Treaty of Versailles was formally drafted and World War I was finally brought to an end. The treaty was drafted by the Allied Powers, which consisted of Great Britain, France and the United States. This treaty blamed the war solely on Germany, and it required them to pay an amount of “$33 billion dollars in reparations, cede all of colonies, dismantle their air force, and greatly reduce their other military operations”(German Delegation, 291).

World War I devastated Europe and brought unprecedented human suffering. There were more than 38 million military and civilian casualties: 17 million deaths and over 20 million wounded, and a toll of $186 billion in direct costs, and an $151 billion in indirect costs. [1] The allied powers negotiated the Treaty of Versailles, which officially brought the war to end in June of 1919, with very limited participation by Germany. The provisions of the treaty primarily blamed Germany for the war, and imposed unreasonable terms that were responsible for German expansion, hyperinflation, and economic downfall, and eventually led directly to World War II.
