What Led To War

The novel discusses and how tough war is and how hard others would fight for each other. Throughout the text we see how towns are invaded and families are torn apart, in some countries like Afghanistan for example, things like this still happen and it needs to stop!

When asked who started it, many people will turn and point to someone else in the room. But when asked what started World War I people point to many different causes and countries. Little bit of background, World War I started in 1914 and ended in 1918. Many countries in Europe were involved and there were many casualties throughout the war. The one remaining question is what exactly was the underlying cause of World War I? There are three things that could have possibly been the cause of the war: militarism, imperialism, or alliances. These next three paragraphs will discuss, in order from least to most accusable, how they caused the war.

Paine highlights the importance of the support of the men in order to defeat Great Britain. He writes an aphorism near the beginning of the excerpt, stating, “The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph” (Paine, lines 6-7). Paine uses this emotional appeal to inspire the reader to ponder what life would be like without British rule. America is forced to obey British sanctions and live every day of their life in fear of Britain’s next move. Thomas Paine highlights this particular hardship in an effort to spur a reaction of the people to decide to break free of their grasp. The inventor and journalist uses another aphorism to enforce a sense of emotional duty among colonists. By stating, “Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscious approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death,” Paine describes that if every able man retains a drive to win the war by whatever means necessary, anything can be accomplished (lines 57-59). Paine’s use of aphorisms significantly adds to the essay’s emotional

Imagine the single murder of a man of not much importance was enough to make the whole world go to war with each other. World War One was a war fought between the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente from 1914-1918. The Triple Entente was made up of Great Britain, France, and Russia. While the Triple Alliance was made up of Germany, Austria- Hungary, and Italy. The whole war started over the assassination of the Archduke of Austria by a Serbian nationalist group called the Black Hand. This assassination was the spark to the war with the countries taking sides and tensions boiling over into world war. The breakout of World War One which led to the total destruction and annihilation of Europe was caused by the following factors: excessive military

The author uses diction that depicts and supports the narrator's thoughts. The narrator expresses that the fact that there are wars at all may not even seem like a reality in the future. “They would treat as fabulous or allegorical...” (Line 6)That people will not even believe that we went to fight and kill each other because of someone else’s orders. “Under the penalty of immediate death...obey implicitly the orders of commanders.” (Line 7)For those who have known and seen the consequences of war there is no justice in it.”Friends and relations...wretchedly maimed” (line18). The words used bring the point together showing the way the narrator thinks.

Unlike the American Revolutionary War for Independence, the War of 1812 was more political and economically driven. After France declared war against Great Britain in 1793, it caused a string of events, eventually leading to Americas declaration of war against Great Britain. Several factors led the newly independent America to declare war against the greatest naval power in the world, Great Britain. Three major influences that led America’s decision to go to war was the Royal Navy’s impressment of American Seamen, British attempts to restrict U.S. trade, and America’s desire to expand its territory.

“War is constituted by a relation between things, and not between persons…War then is a relation, not between man and man, but between State and State…” Being between state and state, meant that it was not the people themselves, but a higher power fighting with another higher power. In order for war to survive, it needs opinion, disagreement, a cause, and power hunger. The goal of war is to win, whether that means you either stop fighting or one side won.

For more than four years, World War One (WW1) was a conflict that caused a destruction to land and many family members who have lost their lives. Over sixteen million civilians were killed and ten million men died during the war. WW1 broke out because of the four main causes; Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism. Militarism was a crucial aspect that caused WW1 to break out because countries such as France and Germany had created a huge army to prepare for war. The Alliances was a fundamental long-term factor that led to the outbreak of WW1 as countries also decided to align with other countries so they could help each other if one goes to war. Imperialism was another vital factor that caused WW1 to erupt as many countries scrambled for territories that were not taken which began the tension of countries trying to expand their empire. Lastly, Nationalism was a very important reason in causing WW1 as European countries felt that they were more superior than the rest of the countries.

The quote at the outset of the book speaks of the seriousness of war and the intent of war is to disarm your enemy by destroying its military forces. Therefore expressing a profound idea that goodness does not prevail in war. This was possibly stated by the author to lay the groundwork for the story and for the readers to perceive the situation through this lens, or theme

Within three weeks the US led 49 countries into Iraq and overthrew the government. The Iraqi War has caused large controversy in this country and around the world. The real question is wether or not the cost of lives and dollars was worth it. Although Iraq may have posed a security risk to the US, the war did not provide substantial benefit and caused more financial issues and human expenditure. Outside countries say the War violated international law, killed countless, wasted millions of dollars, and made the US more vulnerable to terrorism.

The outbreak of the war prompted the formation of numerous women’s voluntary organizations, and a number of women worked to extend women’s role. In 1942 defense ministers and others finally considered to form WAAC to substitute men in the army. The bill took a year to pass. The WAAC only lasted until 1943 because of the newly founded group WAC. The Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps benefited women’s rights, how women got to be accepted in society , and most importantly what the women did to help make the country stronger.

Traditionally, students have been taught that differences between northern and southern economies caused the Civil War. The industrial revolution in the North, during the first few decades of the 19th century, brought about an economy that revolved around a machine age which relied on wage laborers, not slaves. At the same time, the warmer Southern states continued to rely on slaves for their farming economy and cotton production. Southerners made huge profits from cotton and slaves and fought a war to maintain them. Northerners did not need slaves to establish or maintain their economy and fought a war to free them. Everything else, we are led to believe, was tied to that economic difference that was focused on cotton.

On April 24, 1898 when Spain declared war on the United States it would be the unforeseen wielding catalyst for the future of both countries. It would be the war that would redefine the U.S. as a great, powerful imperialistic nation. Though there were many different causes for the war it proved to be greatly beneficial to the U.S. by providing opportunity of overseas expansion, development of naval power, and assertion as a strong federal government. It opened up global markets and new outlets for trade thus raising the nation’s hopes and support of the country’s newfound direction.

War has always been a part of humanity ever since the dawn of modern humans. Wars have started for various different reasons such as territorial disputes, showcase of power, or a struggle between powers. There are many causes of wars from the different levels of analysis examining the roots of the four levels such as individual, state, interstate, and global level. The main reasons why wars start are problems and conflicts in the state level of analysis. Problems within the state eventually create wars.
