The War I And World War II

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.

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

As the war in Europe was heating up, the United States government initiated a state of preparedness. It began increasing the size and strength of its military, enhancing its global politics, and promoting patriotism amongst the public. Industrially, manufacturers changed tooling and operations, gearing up to produce the tools of war that would become more essential than the common consumer goods they had once produced. Labor unions also played a role in this process, advocating conversion in industries that were less eager to change their ways. The marine industry was among the first of the industries to convert to wartime production, cranking out ships not only to fight, but especially to haul the much needed weapons, munitions, and food across Atlantic to the British and the Soviet Union. The Lend Lease act provided these supplies, playing an extremely important role in the resupply and refitting of our allies.

World war one was one the biggest wars in recorded history. It lasted from 1914-1918 and was a brutal conflict in Canadian history. More than 60,000 Canadians died in this war. When the First World War began in the year of 1914, some believe that it would last for a long time. Many young individuals in Canada and others saw this war as a privilege to travel, adventure, and great beauty. Some individuals were afraid that the conflict would be over before they could get into the battle. Many people signed up dreaming that they would have the honour of fighting for the British Empire, to which Canada belonged. The somewhat “Great War” was different in the dreamy vision than it was in reality. This war took the lives of more than 8 million

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).

World War I (WWI) brought unprecedented change to the world. Never before had the entire world engaged in such brutal conflict. World War I brought about great pain and sorrow for the whole world. Even countries who were not directly involved in front line combat bore the suffering of financial and social limitations that affected the entire world during this time.

Throughout history the United States has been involved in many different wars. Their involvement has brought forth many significant events and changes that have affected the American way of life. I will briefly discuss the events and the United States involvement in World War I and World War II. I will give a brief overview of both wars and explain exactly how and why the United States joined in each.

During World War I and World War II life back home changed excessively. When the soldiers went to fight in World War 1 and World War 2, women and children had to replace men in the workforce. There was an increase in those affected by the trauma of the wars, and the birth-rates dropped during this time.

One of the earliest recorded feats of corruption in history was carried out by Roman Emperor Nero, whose rule is often associated with corruption and arrogance, as many historians have found evidence that Nero built theaters in his own honor and even assassinated many people, including his mother and step-brother. In the post- World War I and World War II era, Joseph Stalin of Soviet Russia led a dictatorship that would last 24 years, ending in his own death. Although the country as a whole benefited from his reign, Stalin ruled with an iron fist, using facilitated propaganda and often ordering the executions of any political rivals. In 1945, author George Orwell created a book that used satire to mock Stalin’s rule by creating a character that resembled him called Napoleon. In order to stay in power, however, Napoleon needed to use Stalinist methods to assert control. Much like Joseph Stalin, Napoleon use propaganda and fear to dominate the political component of Animal Farm.

Both wrold War I and World Ii effected the outcome of how every part of the world turned out to be. World War I had severely impacted much of Europe as well a number force to France, including a medical unit ( this was one few roles women had in war, and were sent to serve in the trenches) and a fighter squadron. Some say the fighter pilots were still in training when the war ended, others that they had just managed to fly a couple of missions before the officially

“World War I [1914-1918] brought about many significant changes in the aviation field. At the start of World War One, aircraft were very basic and crude. By the time World War One had ended, aircraft had become far more sophisticated and had differentiated into fighters, bombers and long-range bombers. The development of aircraft was stimulated by the war’s requirements, as was the way aircraft were actually used” (“Aircraft and World War One”). At the start of the war, aircraft was thought to be an insignificant asset. Because of this, planes were typically only used for monitoring, rather than attacking the enemy, as well as the world’s first ever aerial photography. If ever enemy aircraft came in contact, by chance, the encounter was typically crude due to lack of training, but deadly.

World War II, a war that was fought globally to get revenge from each country that Germany has lost from World War I, but this whole war was unexpected for any country. This leads to the questions of What were Hitler’s ultimate objectives? Was this war an essential or incidental part of Hitler’s program? Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of Germany, overturned the democratic government, created the Third Reich, persecuted millions, and ultimately led Germany and the world into World War II (definition from the book). There were several objectives for Hitler, such as, the end of Jewish race, taking over Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland, thus leading to a war globally again. However, this war was an incidental part of his program, but Hitler was very enthused with war from the experience of World War I. This essay will discuss about Nazi foreign policy, Hitler’s ultimate objectives, and if the war was essential or incidental.

In the human history there were two deadliest and most destructive wars human civilization had to see. World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945). Both of these wars had massive impact on civilized world. It didn’t start in one day. In the beginning of 20th century there were a lot of things going on in Europe. Unfortunately people of the Europe and the rest of the world had to suffer for some country’s disbelieve.

World War I, was the so-called war to end all wars, but it did not solve many of the problems that had caused it. So, of course, some years later started another world war. The second World War was the largest and most violent, brutal, and tragic conflict that happened between 1939 and 1945. The two sides in the war were the Axis, which was Germany, Italy, and Japan against the Allies. Canada was one of the many different countries of allies who were fighting against the Axis. Some of the other allied countries were Britain, France, China, and the United States of America. When the majority of people think of who were the allies in World War II, they think about the United States of America and Britain, but people don’t realize that Canada
