The War Of The World War I

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.

World War One, also known as the Great War, broke out across the world in August of 1914. European leaders expected it to be a short war, assuring their citizens that a resolution would occur before the start of the New Year (Stokstad). Those leaders could not have been any more wrong, because World War One lasted until November 11, 1918. The war goes down as one of the most destructive wars in all of history. An estimated ten million people lost their lives due to war efforts such as trench warfare and overall technological advances in weaponry. Because of the duration of the war, countries endorsed food rations and propaganda attacks on ordinary citizens to manage the war effort (web). The point is that the war was brutal on all people,

The first world war was one of the most brutal and remorseless events in history; ‘the global conflict that defined a century’. Over nine million soldiers and a large amount of innocent civilians lost their lives. Empires crumbled, revolution engulfed Russia and America rose to become a dominant world power. Huge armies deployed new weapons of devastating effect from rifles and pistols to torpedoes and flame throwers. These weapons were used not only in the trenches but by tanks too. This was an advantage to those who were able to access such machinery as they could easily launch bullets and missiles at nearby enemy bases. The downfall of the tank was the fact it was unable to cross the trenches. Tanks were not the only pieces of equipment that could access this machinery but U boats and planes too. The British carried ‘bolt action rifles’ in which fired 15 rounds per minute at a minimum range of 1,400 metres away. This allowed the British to take out foes at a far greater range. By using machinery in which rules out the need for getting up close to the enemy was a great advantage during world war one. Soldiers ran from trench to trench attacking with all that they had. This resulted in a massacre as the soldiers running toward the trenches were shot down. Machinery such as machine guns and heavy artillery were the weapons used in the trenches. In modern day society, machine guns are the main weapons used by soldiers. This wasn’t the case around the 1914s. They took four

There are forty-nine years between the end of the Civil War and the start of World War I. Within those years numerous technological advancements took place. Many of those advancements directly impacted the warfare in the First World War. The Civil War, also referred to as the first modern war, gave way to an even more modernized style of warfare used during World War I. Much of this modernized technology of warfare had a great impact on how tactics and strategies were used throughout the First World War.

November 11, 1918 marketed the end of World War I. During the 2 yeas the United States fought, women became part of the labor force as well as African Americans, the Nineteenth Amendment was passed and factories were booming. Even After the war men returned to the work force and quality of life started to improve. October 1929, the stock market crashed as a result of many buying goods on credit. The Great Depression was the worst in American history and lasted until 1939 before America started in War preparations for World War II. It was after 1945 when men came home and reentered the work force that quality of life improved and we begin to see the rise of the middle class.

The world experienced life changing inventions and events during the time of World War I, such occurrences influenced the literature and the authors of the time. The time the war took place, the world experienced technological advancements at an unimaginable pace. In addition to technology, the war also changed the fashion in which society worked. Women became more independent as more jobs were offered to them in order to aid the war cause. In addition, countries such as England experienced extreme poverty during and after the First World War occurred. This shaped the manner in which the people thought about their lives and their governments. Furthermore, a significant amount of the men of England were sent to fight in the war. The battlefront, along with to horrible health conditions, lead to an immense death count of men in the battle field. Such changes in the world as well as society inspired several works of art and literature at the time. Artist and writers wrote about the war and its effect on the people. Their works reflected the perspective of civilians and soldiers alike in order to relate to the public. Such artists include Siegfried Sassoon, Isaac Rosenberg, and William Yeats, who wrote about the war abroad as well as in their home country, England. The works of Siegfried Sassoon, Isaac Rosenberg, and William Yeats were affected by events, ideologies, and experiences from the period of World War I. This is seen in their poems as they often parallel events from

For Australia, and several other nations, the First World War remains the most expensive conflict in history. From a population of fewer than four million, approximately 350,000 men enlisted,

What were the conflicts and tensions in Europe that resulted in World War I, a war that took the lives of an estimated 9.45 million (from both war casualties and disease)? This paper delves into the reasons behind the outbreak of war in 1914 in Europe.

World War I (1914-1918) was the first war to involve almost all of Europe; Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Russia all participated. The war wiped out a significant amount of the young generation and changed politics, economics and public opinion in Europe for decades to come. While many countries had a role in the war’s outbreak, Germany probably bore the greatest responsibility due to three factors. The Germans had pushed for war since the founding of the modern German state. Germany had poor relationships with many of the countries that surrounded them. Finally, Kaiser Wilhelm II, the head of Germany, and his government made numerous diplomatic errors in months that led up to the outbreak of the war.

War arises due to the ever changing relationships between several conditions. it is never provoked by one sole cause; be it social, economic, cultural, opposing interests, etc… But it is rather caused by an amalgamation of these particular concepts, trends, movements, or policies. Peace is an equipoise amidst these countless forces, and at any particular time, any of these changes in forces, trends, or movements, can make for war, while at other times they make for peace. Post World War One Germany felt the need to redeem its sovereignty from their great loss in World War One, and to also assert their dominance to the rest of the world.

Everything we do in the past is history. Walking into a store and choosing a certain pack of meat is history, but historians decide whether or not that part of the past will be remembered in history. They get to sift through history and pick what goes down in history but how do they pick what goes down in history? What makes certain events more historical than the ones that happen all of the time?
