The War Of The Great Depression

Imperialism is a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force. Imperialism played a huge role in the causes of world war I and was mostly from Germany and Serbia. This also means smaller states had to fight for freedom or life. Through this most imperialists

Nationalism, a political or social philosophy in which the prosperity of a nation-state as an existence is considered supreme or more important than anything else. The primary duty and loyalty should be toward the nation-state. The love for one's country often reflected dominance and power as people were able to unite toward common good. Furthermore, republic governments were reestablished a result of Nationalism.

Imperialism was the outbreak of the First World War l. It set the stage of World War l. The attacks on U.S ships and with the American support for the allies that eventually caused the United States to enter the war. So basically imperialism is one of the reasons why nations go to war.

Imperialism is when one country controls another country politically, economically and or culturally it started in the late 1800s and ended in the early 1900s. The European motives for imperialism were economic, exploratory, ethnocentric, political, and religious. The economic motive was when the industrial revolution companies and governments wanted to sell and buy products and get natural resources in return. For exploratory they were interested in new lands for scientific research. For ethnocentric Europeans thought they were better than Africa and Asia which is racist. Politically they wanted to control countries to have the best military and most power. The last motive was religious and they wanted to expand Christianity to other

Imperialism is when a country of rich power overtakes a debilitated government. In the late 1800’s through the early 1900’s. Imperialism started towards the end of the Industrial Revolution because of the lack of natural materials and resources in their own territory. During the period of imperialism, many European countries created vast empires from overthrowing governments in Africa and the Middle East. France, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Portugal were the main countries involved in overtaking territory. An effect from the age of Imperialism was the affection of World War I. Besides the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria/Hungary in 1914 was Imperialism, Imperialism caused conflict over territory. Soon Imperialism was so out of control that the countries were going to war over who they were going to overthrow. Imperialism also had an effect on the warfare during World War 1 because the countries used their claimed land as prime military bases during the war.

Imperialism was one of the four contributing factors to the cause of World War One, along with secret alliances, militarism, and nationalism.  It is the most important cause of WW1, because it created a build-up of tension in Europe and outside of Europe, and through imperialism, the three other causes were able to affect the beginnings of the war. Imperialism is defined as the governing of one people by another country, which was a recurring dilemma prior to WW1 due to the industrialist movement. Although not all events that fall into the imperialistic category were about controlling another country, they contributed to the war, and imperialistic events were the foundation of the cause of WW1.

Imperialism is when countries lose trust and peace due to land and resources. In document Q it states “a steadily increasing concern about national security gave rise to theories that a country’s survival … depended on… its territorial possessions and on… economic resources” As we can see people began to worry and they started gaining the mindset that if their country didn’t have land they would crumble. Document Q also states “a state had to acquire as much territory as possible as quickly as possible while there was still territory to take.” Countries immediately took action, attempting to dominate different locations and expand their level of resources. In WW1 one country stood out that even a nickname was given to it, “bloodsucker of the world.” Britain took over many pieces of land as we can see in document O. This map shows Britain having a great deal of octopus arms reaching around the map. How did this affect the war? Because of imperialism more and more countries wanted to get ahold of land. Therefore, creating tension. The more land other countries lost to Britain, France and other growing countries the more restricted trading, alliances, and other contributing factors became. Alongside trying to obtain land the need of armaments and supplies increased and countries like Germany “suddenly announced her determination to increase her already monstrous armaments.” (document N) Due to imperialism, large amounts of

Nationalism is having pride in your country or nation. People show pride in their country or nation by celebrating their country’s national holidays and/or fighting for your country in the armed forces. For example, the American Revolution and the Latin American Revolution are examples

Imperialism is the domination of one country of the political, economic, or cultural life of another country. Imperialism is more often than not fueled by two major schools of thought known as nationalism and Social Darwinism. Nationalism is a feeling of pride and devotion to one’s country. This can drive a person to think that their country is the most powerful, and in essence drives that person mad with power and a hunger to conquer, which not ironically is exactly what many countries did. Social Darwinism is the very idea that a more powerful country conquer the smaller countries. “Survival of the fittest,” as the well renowned Charles Darwin used to say. Imperialism is also sometimes sparked by military motives, such as when USA set up

Nationalism is way of thinking both political and socially to create a community united by: history, ethnicity, religions, common culture, and language. Numerous effects occurred while establishing a Nationalist community, some effects were a long term impact on Nationalism, and other was short term impacts on Nationalism.

Nationalism is a sense of strong pride and loyalty of ones nation over other nations. This is different from past

Today, the scourge of nationalism continues to infect humanity. Without doubt, in some circles, nationalism is hotly debated. For most people, however, the concept of nationalism is rarely questioned. In fact, it 's a foregone conclusion that people should love the nation in which they reside. Some people even take great pride in the fact that they were arbitrarily born in a specific geographical location. Unfortunately, like religion or capitalism, nationalism is alive and well in the 21st century.

Nationalism can be described as a mix, multidimensional morally developed or created concept involving a shared common identification with one's Nation. It is more on politically motivated towards working and maintaining self-governance, or full sovereignty, working towards to a specific land or a territory of historical significance to the group such as land and its belongings. In simple Nationalism is a nation command and lead itself, free from foreign influence, it is the concept of self-rule. Nationalism is further formed towards maintaining and developing a Sovereignty based on shared features such as religion, language, race, culture, or either political goals or a belief in a customary ancestry. So its pride towards nation's achievements, and the concept in world history has shown positive and negative impact, moreover in a political dimension it leads either unification or disintegration.

Nationalism is loyalty and devotion to one’s country usually accompanied with feelings of superiority over other countries. Nationalism is a force of nature. It helped to unify Italy and Germany while also being a threat to other nations by trying to tear empires apart. Nationalism has pros and cons because even though it unified some countries it also led to wars and tensions among other countries. More tensions arose when leaders tried to unify countries by manipulation to get their way.

However, nationalism does not have one single definition, its meaning has evolved as society changes and modernises. Nationalism can “...refer to any behaviour designed to restore, maintain, or advance public images of that national community” (Gries, 2005:9). By the mid-1960s there were two main proposals to understanding nationalism. “In the first, nationalism was an aspect of national history, a sentiment associated with the nation...In the second approach, nationalism was a modern, irrational doctrine which could acquire sufficient power...to generate nationalists sentiments and even nation states” (Gellner, 2008:xx). Nationalism is defined differently by different schools of thought and theorists.
