The World Of The Great Britain

On June Twenty Eighth Archduke was traveling with his wife, when the driver got lost and went down the wrong road. Gavrilo Princip was a Serbian assassin who shot and killed Archduke and his wife. The assassination was used to start a rebellion that would create a much larger Serbian nation. Austrian ambassador was very unsettled by that, so he decides to get a friendship with Germany. They become allies on July fifth. Austrian wanted an apology from Serbia. But did not receive one. Austria-Hungary then declared war on Serbia. Therefore caused a giant war to break out (DBQ Project Essay Background).

When coming to military the germans had the most efficient military ever in there time. In Document D it states “In the coming century the German people will be the hammer or the nail”. This states that if they use their power wisely they will becomes the nail but if they help and out give their power to other countries they will become the anvil. When coming to naval militarism england was the dominant power. The saying for them was England der Blutsauger der Welt

10 hours a day from Monday to Friday and six and a half on Saturday.

This was one of the most important causes because citizens wanted to fight due to the idealization of the military. There was a great influence on military power. The glorification of the military caused countries to become arrogant and power hungry, in which countries competed for power. When a country is militaristic they don’t seem to have a problem, when it comes to war.

At this time Slavic people wanted to be out of the control of Austria-Hungary and be a part of Serbia. It happened when the archduke and his wife were in Bosnia, the location of a protest arguing for that particular region not to be controlled by Austria-Hungary but by Serbia. Austria-Hungary then decided to “declare war”(1) on Serbia. This course of action then set the Russians into war because of an alliance between them and Serbia. It then began a domino effect of war on the other countries because of previous defense

The assassination gave Austria-Hungary a good reason to form a plan against Serbia, but Austria-Hungary first got Germany’s promise to support them in any action they took against Serbia. Then Austria-Hungary sent Serbia a list of demands on July 23. Serbia accepted most of the demands and offered to have the rest settled by an international conference. Austria-Hungary rejected the offer and declared war on Serbia on July 28 1914("World War I History." ).

As harmony still permeated throughout Europe this goodwill would eventually falter given the underlying crises that were about to occur when in 1908 Austria proclaimed the annexation of the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which it had occupied militarily since 1878. This sudden appropriation caused a state of severe international tension among the other countries, especially Serbia in view of the fact that these provinces were mostly Serbian in population. Regrettable this abrupt annexation triggered a tremendous upheaval and outrage from Serbia whose reaction was of pure exasperation since they always looked at Bosnia and Herzegovina as an eventual legacy. Accordingly, because Serbia was for most part a client state of Russia they looked to Russia their ally for help in the matter despite the reality that Russian Foreign Minister had stealthily consented to the Austrian move in return for concessions, but they now decided they must protect. In the summer of

On June 28 1914, a Serbian assassin killed the Archduke while he was riding through Sarajevo. Orders got mixed up with the transportation of Ferdinand and his party through the city. Young Bosnia got the window he needed to kill Ferdinand and took it. The assassin not only killed the archduke but also his wife. The relations of Austria-Hungary and Serbia already had already had multiple conflicts before this event. With the thought of imperialism, which was a method to extend your power through military and diplomacy, these countries just couldn’t

The tensions between the European countries existed before the conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, which eventually resulted in WW1, also referred to as the Great War. During the beginning of the 20th century, the tensions between Austria-Hungary, Serbia and Russia concerning the the Balkan powder keg escalated following the Austro-Hungarian annexation of the region of Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1908. Austria-Hungary wanted to maintain the control of the region, while Russia, that was inspired by Pan-Slavism aimed to unite the Slavic

Great Britain's Royal Navy was more advanced in tactics and strategy when dealing with the threat posed by submarines. The German Navy was not ready for the retaliation of submarine warfare because Hitler had poorer more of his resources into his army and air force. This made gave a foothold got the Allies to gain leverage over the German threat in the Battle of the Atlantic.

As the British Empire developed into one of the largest in the world, the purpose of the empire was questioned and how the empire would affect Britain created tension within Britain. Throughout the eighteenth century, the British focused their efforts on a commercial and maritime empire that would carry their values of liberty, equality and rule of law with it. The accounts detail aspects of the first empire with the mentality and the treatment that the men have regarding their ideas of Britain and her empire. Ideas that would be challenged by the American Revolution and the Americans claim against the British, such as repressive and calling the king a tyrant. This forced the British to adapt the image of themselves and how they dealt with their empire. In order to understand the changing times that the accounts are documenting, first the men need to be placed into the society in which they lived. This will be accomplished through the development of the empire’s ideology and forming of the British identity, and then by looking at the British state building and forms of nationalism with an emphasis on class and gender within the nation. This will be followed with the British perspective of the empire and concluded by discussion the mobility caused by the empire that is demonstrated from the travel accounts.

The first two years of the 1950’s were very eventful for Great Britain. After leading the British people through a devastating war Winston Churchill was reelected Prime Minister (he would serve for another five years) and the much loved King George VI would die in 1952. As the second son of George V, Prince Albert (as George VI was known then) had not expected to be King. It was his older brother Edward VIII who was in line to become the next king, but he abdicated in order to marry Wallis Simpson a divorced American woman. When King George died on February 6th, 1952 his daughter Elizabeth became Queen and still reigns today after fifty years. In 1951 the Government organized a Festival of

The assassination at Sarajevo shocked the world however under normal procedure the two countries would deal with it. However this didn’t happen because Austria-Hungary was determined for revenge even though it was highly unlikely that Serbia was trying to cause a war. After the Balkans War Serbia was in no state for a war. The Austro-Hungarian Empire offered Serbia a 6 point ultimatum, to which Serbia agreed to all but one which would have involved Austria-Hungary having influence on the Serbian justice system. They said they would refer the case to the international court but Austria-Hungary refused and declared war on Serbia on 28 July. The assassination triggered these events which in turn triggered the

Tensions between Austria-Hungary and Serbia climaxed after a Serbian nationalist shot and killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand, leading to the multi-national participation of countries siding with either Austria-Hungary or Serbia at the start of WWI. In
