The Results of World War 1

There were over ten million deaths that were reported during this period hence making this war the most lethal war that was ever experienced in this world as at that time. There was also a significant amount of government interference experienced at this time leading to extreme measures and directives that came directly from national governments (Coffman, 2014). This was brought about by one of the most lethal differences ever in the 20th century; sparked by rage and a desire to revenge by all the countries. This war brought in a lot of losses including some agricultural losses in the period as such. The governments in this case completely misjudged the war and invested a lot of machinery in it and finances at the time. This was as a result of the desire to try and win this war

Between 1914 and 1918, over nine million soldiers and five civilians were killed and seven million men disabled permanently (Mintz). This tragic phenomenon is known as World War I. Leaving the world with $186 billion direct costs and $251 billion indirect costs, this World War is known to be the most expensive war in history (Mintz). These four years also impacted the civilians not involved in the war severely. Women were given a chance to have a job in the workforce, children had to work in order to feed themselves, and an influenza epidemic was brought into communities (Mintz and Wotherspoon). World War I soon turned into a “group effort”; it turned into a Total War. Initially starting off as an encouraging and positive experience, World War I eventually turned into a brutal, selfish, and chaotic battle, and left millions of

To begin, World War I was the most devastating war yet at its time and had widespread repercussions for nations all over the world. The global impact of World War I can be analyzed by identifying what pushed so many nations to war, the immediate effects of the war, and the long term effects of the war.

Almost a century has passed but Australia still identifies strongly with the Anzac ‘legend' that emerged during the First World War. Entering the war as a small outpost of the British Empire, no one would have anticipated the courage and tenacity displayed by the Australian troops or the extent to which their war efforts would become the foundation of our national identity.

The Great War, or World War I, ended in 1918 with the Treaty of Paris. It marked the beginning of a new era. During the war, there was a boom in the economy and employment was easy to find. The damage the war caused on the land in Europe was catastrophic; with the trenches and heavy artillery and machinery being used to destroy each other and take cities, it is amazing that there was anything left. Many people, soldiers and civilians, died during the war. After World War I, many countries gained their independence, and many countries suffered severe economic debt due to the expensive war reparations.

The Home Front is often overlooked when discussing the impact of World War One (WWI), as the impact is often less glorified when compared to the bloodshed of the battlefields. This exhibition looks at life in Australia during WWI and explores the experiences of those away from the actual fighting who are at home. By extensively using primary sources and brief profiles of both notable and everyday Australians during WWI, the exhibit gives a holistic view on life in Australia during the Great War. The exhibit focuses on the themes of the initial excitement of those in Australia when the war began, technology advancements, how the public received news of the war and their reaction to it, as well as the sense of growing disillusionment that developed as the war progressed. It comprehensively looks at these experiences and emotions and describes them with clarity.

World War I had many negative effects that fell like dominos. Students who have taken a history class has learned about the Great Depression and its impact on the United States. America and many other countries across the ocean, like Europe, became fractured during this time period. The balance of power in Europe was changed, and many countries were badly affected by World War I. At this time, an outsider looking into this situation described the Eastern Hemisphere as it “had damaged beyond repair.” After the war, Europe built itself back up in the industrial area. The twentieth century is considered a “new phase of world history” due to the pre and post actions of World War I. World War I at first started as a civil war in Europe but then

The Great War was very different from previous wars. The war was fought on several fronts, the majority being on the Western Front. This front extended from Switzerland to the North Sea. This war also resulted in new technological developments to improve warfare. Life on the home front also differed as many of the women were forced to go to work and uproot and move to where the war was being fought. The civilians during the war also paid a hard price including financially, economically, and many lost their lives.

The war began with the planned assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. The assassination had almost failed, however, by some sort of twisted hand of fate, another chance was provided. While the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the direct cause, European countries had a strong sense of Nationalism and Militarism, which both go hand in hand with feeling that their country is superior and the desire to protect their country. In the meantime, with the sense of superiority European countries felt threatened by

Today, supposedly, women are equal to men. They have equal rights, equal jobs, and equal opportunities. However in 1914, at the 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, women’s main roles were to take over the jobs that the men had left when they went off to war. However, by the time World War II began on September 1, 1939 when Britain and France declared war on Germany after German forces invaded Poland (Ellis 567), women had gained confidence, power, and respect in society. Many things, such as propaganda, including the character Rosie the Riveter, and more prominent roles at the home front empowered women and encouraged them to achieve greater involvement in the war effort. In the First World War, women’s roles, though limited, were significant to the war effort, and by World War II, women’s respective roles were expanded and more prominent.

In addition, the number of combatants that were killed and wounded is overwhelming, although some people may argue that this war had to be fought and that the amount of people that had died was unavoidable. The destruction of buildings and cities because of the war cost a lot of money from the government and the civilians that had to pay to rebuild their countries also affected the economy and trading systems mainly in Europe. There were shortages of workers as all the men went to the war and women had to take care of the men’s job until they got back, or course after the war ended and the men came back home they went back to their jobs and there was equal job distribution. There was also a huge shortage of food

World War One (WW1) ends in November 11, 1918 with the great human and material losses for both sides of the conflict: about 10-13 millions of people are dead while twice bigger number is wounded, and the economics of warring sides countries are on the decline. Due to new circumstances and new challenges, winning Allied Powers carve up areal map of the world during the Paris Peace Conference within Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Among political effects of WW1 are new country borders, arising new political regimes and a new world political discourse.

One of the biggest impacts of the war on all countries would be the debt caused from funding soldiers, supplies, machinery,etc, and because of this it caused the economy to crash. In order to fund the war Germany had been borrowing money which led to debt. On top of this Germany had reparation payments to their Allies. This caused Germany to print out more money which led to inflation. Inflation had reached extreme levels that children would play with the money for fun, and women would use the money as fuel for heating and cooking. Across the sea the United States was in their own debt. In 1929 the Great Depression had hit causing many to be out of jobs and leave the country into a great deal of panic. Along with this, Great Britian and France were also in debt and had loaned money from the U.S. that they needed to pay back. With all issues with money it made many citizens everywhere think that getting involved in the war was a mistake. On a minor note, many had serious doubts about the ideals of the Enlightenment and the future of Europe. After WWI Fascism became popular in Europe, it is based off of extreme nationalism combined with its violent rhetoric appealed to many of those whose lives were turned upside down. The consequences of WWI were so impactful on every one’s lives that it eventually led to

World War 1 (better known as The Great War), was caused by a great many elements, some long-term, some short-term and the spark. Together these reasons created a brutal war involving many countries across the globe and also killing a vast number of the world’s population. In this essay, I will thoroughly explain what started this war and which reasons made it start sooner.

When Great War started, it influenced the entire world policy and economy. Millions of people died and equal number of people became homeless. Big empires of 20th century fell apart and new small national countries were established. We can say that WWI caused a really big disaster, especially for country which was participant. But there are similarities and differences how it did effect. On different countries in the same way war had different influence. The example for that is Germany and Serbia.
