Almost a century has passed but Australia still identifies strongly with the Anzac ‘legend' that emerged during the First World War. Entering the war as a small outpost of the British Empire, no one would have anticipated the courage and tenacity displayed by the Australian troops or the extent to which their war efforts would become the foundation of our national identity.

The Home Front is often overlooked when discussing the impact of World War One (WWI), as the impact is often less glorified when compared to the bloodshed of the battlefields.

One way that World War 1 impacted the US was through the Great Migration.

The First World War, also known as the Great War of 1914-1918, is not an event that manifested overnight; it was the result of ever growing tension among European nations. This conflict was brought about by factors such as, nationalism, militarism, and the Alliance system. An upheaval such as the First World War was witness to the emergence of the glorification of war, struggle, despair, destruction and immense loss of life. The First World War brought about a defining moment in the history of the modern consciousness. The modern world was born anew with a self-conscious awareness of plight and modern society. This awareness has been characterized by a profound sense of the differences between past and present.

Before World War I, the countries of Europe competed with one another in a race to colonize the world. The end of World War I brought national sovereignty, and an end to colonization to the forefront of the Allies’ concerns as they drew up plans for peace, and as a result, the Allied countries received former enemy colonies to watch over and guide to independence1. As a result of this mandate system, among other colonies, France received Syria. Instead of guiding Syria to independence, however, as the conflict dragged on, France forgot its mission and attempted to subdue Syrian resistance to her humanitarian efforts. This paper will address the following questions: Who is more to blame for the violence, the Syrians or the French? What did

The events of World War I impacted the British Empire and its allies not only through the human and financial costs engendered by the brutal battles that characterized the war, but the technologies that developed to further the war machine left a lasting impact on postwar Britain and all of Europoe.

Everything in history has made an impacted in today's life. My essay is going to be about three things that I believe has made an impact in life today. History is simply a cause and effect and also can be repeated but History is a good lesson for all of us so it never happens aging.

World War I played a crucial role in the downfall of Nicholas II and his regime. The lack of planning and ill-prepared armies, as well as, inflation and hardships for the people of Russia all contributed to the toppling of the Tsarist regime.

On November 11, 1918, the two sides of the war signed an agreement that was to be put to action at eleven o'clock that same day. Two minutes before the armistice agreement would be put into play, Private George Price was shot and killed by a German sniper’s bullet in the French village of Ville-sur-Haine. Seconds later,at precisely at eleven a.m., all weapons and guns stopped. Soldiers and officers got up from their trenches and dugouts, bowed, and left the battlefield. It was the day that every single person dreamed of. And it finally happened.

Today, supposedly, women are equal to men. They have equal rights, equal jobs, and equal opportunities. However in 1914, at the start of World War I, this was not the case. World War I began on July 28, 1914 when Austria declared war on Serbia because the Serbs did not accept all parts of the ultimatum sent to them. Because of previously established alliances, this initial declaration of war led to a deeper conflict. The Triple Alliance or Central Powers, which consisted of Germany, Austro-Hungary, and Italy, was soon at war with the Allies, which consisted of Russia, Britain, and France (Ellis 454-455). During World War I, women’s main roles were to take over the jobs that the men had left when they went off to war. However, by the time World War II began on September 1, 1939 when Britain and France declared war on Germany after German forces invaded Poland (Ellis 567), women had gained confidence, power, and respect in society. Many things, such as propaganda, including the character Rosie the Riveter, and more prominent roles at the home front empowered women and encouraged them to achieve greater involvement in the war effort. In the First World War, women’s roles, though limited, were significant to the war effort, and by World War II, women’s respective roles were expanded and more prominent.

World War One created substantial effects on the way we fought wars throughout the twentieth century and even today. This paper will explore the effects of the subordination of the individual and death of humanity through the military breaking and mending soldiers to the point of becoming a body with no soul. One will examine this process through the analysis of soldiers’ meals, prolonged marching, and intense schedules which broke many of them down to the point of being unamendable.

The most unpleasant aspect about WW1 is that it resulted in many U.S.casualties. At the very beginning, in 1914, Woodrow Wilson had declared the United States neutral, meaning the country refuses to interfere with the European conflict. The government knew the consequences of the war, such as a great number of deaths. Additionally, part of the United States government to not interfere was the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine stated that any European intervention in the region would’ve been considered a threat to American safety. Wilson, along with the support of citizens, had decided that it would be best for them to stay out of the conflict. However, in 1917, Mexico intercepted a message from Germany, which was a proposition for a military

World War I was rising Nazi feeling across Europe, colonial and economic rivalries, which contributed to growing international tension. The main spark that started World War I was the assassination of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in June 1914.
