The World War I ( Wwi )

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

Along history there have been persuasive speakers who through their voices have changed the world. They have mastered the art of persuasion and became leaders in order to inspire people to follow them and believe in them, to fight for their country because of patriotism and honor, and they unite masses for the best for the humanity and others for the worse. The First World War (WWI) left leaders that implementing strategic messages dedicated to the people made a paradigm shift by that time causing a revolutionary change and “a tragic and unnecessary conflict,” as Keegan describes the Great War. Leaders in WWI such as David Lloyd George, the Liberal chancellor of British, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, and later Adoft Hitler during WWII, are remembered for their persuasive approaches.

World War 1 started in July of 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Fran Ferdinand of Austria by a nationalist from Yugoslavia. After his death, Austria-Hungry proceeded to invade Serbia, declaring war. This attack mobilized the rest of the world’s superpowers into choosing sides: The Allies and the Central Powers. Fighting on the side of the Allies were the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and eventually Italy, Japan and the United States. The Central Powers were made up of Germany, Austria-Hungry, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. Germany began its attack by invading the neutral nations of Belgium and Luxembourg en route towards France, which caused the United Kingdom to declare war on the advancing nation’s

World War I, otherwise known as the Great War, began as a small battle that eventually developed into a prodigious uproar between several countries. WWI’s beginnings are controversial and historians throughout the world have several theories about the destructive event. Said to be one of the most disastrous and ruinous struggles between nations, The Great War lasted from July 1914 until November 1918. Referred to as a World War because of the global participation and the international unsettle; this war was exacerbated by 7 million casualties. World War I introduced modern technologies including weaponry and nuclear machinery from opposing forces known as Central Powers against the Allied powers.

World War 1(The Great War) began in 1914 and lasted until 1918. The Great War began after Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip. The war ended with the Allied Powers claiming victory over the Central Powers, and the war led to many technologies and inventions. During the war, the United States used multiple reasons to help keep the national security of the United States.

The immediate cause of World War I was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. In June 1914, a Serbian-nationalist terrorist group called The Black Hand sent groups of people to go and kill the Archduke. The first attempt to assassinate the Archduke failed when someone threw a grenade at the car the Archduke was in, but the grenade bounced off the car and landed in a crowd of people, killing multiple civilians. Later that day, a Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip assassinated the Archduke and his wife while they were in Sarajevo, Bosnia which was part of Austria-Hungary. This assassination led to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia. After that, Russia began to mobilize because of its alliance with Serbia, Germany then declared war on Russia. Then began the development of the war to include all of the countries that were involved

Sparked by assassination, World War 1 began in 1914. With the Austro-Hungarian Empire encroaching on Serbia, the Serbians’ anger escalated from previous disagreements. On June 28th, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand - heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire - traveled to Sarajevo, Bosnia to audit imperial armed forces. Unfortunately, a supreme nationalist group - composed of Serbian men - executed their plan in eliminating the Archduke; thus, lighting the spark of war between both nations. Though the attack had set the war in motion, it hadn't been one of the root causes. World War 1 had been built up in each country through alliances, imperialism, and militarism.

The World War 1 conflict began in 1914 to 1918. It started as a nearby European war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia on July 28th 1914. It transformed into a general European struggle by declaration of the following nations known as the 'Allies' and the 'Associated Powers'; Great britain, France, Russia, Italy and the United states. These nations defied the coalition(central powers). The assassination at Sarajevo in bosnia immediately caused the war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia on June 28th 1914.

World War I, known as the Great War, can be considered one of the most devastating wars in history. This war, lasting from 1914 to 1918, is known for killing more people than any previous war. It started out in Austria-Hungry and proceeded to spread to nearly every part of the world. Though it was a gruesome war, the roles of World War I were important in the shaping of western civilization for posterity socially, economically, and geopolitically.

World War One (WWI) is an important event in history and impacted history in a great way for four years during 1914 to 1918. It is known as the “Great War” because the French, British, and Germans did not know there would be another world war in history. The events occurring through August and July of 1914 had catalysts to help the war build up its stockpile. The war was a conflict between the Allied Powers (France, Russia, Britain, Italy and the United States), and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria Hungary and the Ottoman Empire). The main causes of WWI was the rise in nationalism, which was very strong in Germany becoming a leading factor, economic imperialism, and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 who was heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne.

Human history has not been peaceful at all; there have been big mass murders, terrorist attacks, and, worst of all, wars. There were and still are wars all over the world, like in Palestine, where people are killing each other because of religion, or in Syria, where people are killing each other because of a protest against Syria’s president. These are not the only reasons that caused gigantic wars. In fact, World War I and World War II, the most horrible, bloody, and catastrophic wars in history, started because of chain reactions.

World War I which started in Europe 1914. As Europe was growing and increasing its strengths, it caused tensions between the countries. The strongest countries and nations in europe at the time were Germany, Austria-Hungary, Great Britain, Russia, Italy and France. They all fought for power creating their rivalry. The war started when Austria-Hungary’s royal couple went to visit the capital of Bosnia Sarajevo. A Serbian man shot them as they were driving through the streets of Sarajevo. At the time Austria-Hungary and Serbia were not on the best of terms because Serbia wanted the power Austria had. Many argue that this is the cause of the war but there was much more to it than just a simple assassination. The assassination was just the last straw but there was something much deeper going on. Alliances were forming between the top dogs in Europe and an increase of weapons and larger troops started between the

World War I, a time of struggle for power, a time where most men who joined would most likely die. World War I started with an act of terrorism, produced multiple technological advancements used today, and ended with the downfall of many powerful empires.

The First world war was significant in many ways. Technology wise, many of the weapons used in war today originated from the first world war like tanks, machine guns, and airplanes for air support. It is during the war that the British promised Palestine to the Arabs if they revolt against the Turks. At the same time, the Balfour declaration was created and it contradicts the British promise as it promised Palestine to the Jews. To this day, the land of Israel-Palestine is still being fought
