What Was The Impact Of World War 1

World War I significantly influenced the modern world in which all humanity subsists. The United States of America was altered internally and externally by the Great War. Shadowing World War I America was distinguished as a supreme nation holding great power; subsequently the nation would be redefined politically, economically, and socially.

On july 28,1914 world war 1 began.what had started this big war was the assassination of the archduke. For many people this war was known as the first war or the war to end all wars. World war 1 was when Great Britain, France, Russia, Belgium, Italy, Japan, the United States, and other allies defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria. Between 1914 and 1918 15 million soldiers were killed and 20 million were wounded. The conditions were very crucial for the soldiers at war and their families at home.

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 United States Home Front faced social, political, and economic impacts during World War I, and as a result, many things changed.

World war one was the biggest war anyone had ever seen, known as the war to end all wars 2.8 million Americans were drafted to go and fight. Seven countries were the major powers but 32 countries were involved in the war. The biggest turning point in the war was America joining and it caused what had since been a brutal war with no clear winning side to become an uneven fight, resulting in the win of the Allied Forces. When we joined the war many acts and laws were passed, some were questionable such as the espionage act.

What was known as the “Great War,” began as a military conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia in 1914, however it was the death Franz Ferdinand that snowballed into declaration of war against Russia and eventually war on a global scale involving 32 nations. When World War 1 began in 1914 the United States proclaimed neutrality for mostly economic gain but as time went on remaining neutral became more difficult. When Germany attacked, and sank the Lusitania on May 7th, 1915, America knew it was time to fight back and two years later declared war.

America had just come out of World War I, one of the bloodiest and most violent episodes in this nation's history. After the horror and pain the previous war inflicted, societies were submerged in disillusionment, cultural experimentation, and hedonism. Many Americans came to enjoy the blessings of consumerism and excess. They felt entitled to pleasure and comfort in exchange for their deep emotional scars and the brutal carnage they had just faced.

In April 2, 1917, the president of America, Woodrow Wilson, announced America’s end to neutrality by declaring war on Germany (History.com). With this, America got involved in the First World War. This had a great influence on the American public and was enough to change their views and beliefs towards their society. World War I challenged the public views towards the use of chemical weapons (History.com), and the belief towards women’s right (Textbook).

A big change during World War 1 is the advancement of weapons. Each country fighting worked towards having the best weapons. During this war: chemicals were used against each other along with the airplanes. The Germans “unleashed lethal chemical warfare by using poisonous gas-filled shells” (18) on their enemies, while this tactic only lasted on battle, before the other countries fighting caught on and started “issuing gas masks to soldiers and then the deployment of chemical shells” (18) began being used by parties. This changed the way the war was fought because it was a quick way to cause a painful death. This war was also the first war to start using airplanes, at first only as “surveillance” because at the beginning of the war “airplanes

When the war ended,world war one to be exact,surprisingly everything went back to normal.But the economy changed drastically. New technology and rations went away and the economy stabilized or started stabilizing, at least. I remember when it all happened. The end of World War I, and all the soldiers came home except the fallen, and yet all shall be remembered and honored even in death. But farming and food started back as normal, farming started again and rations were gone.

A nation is a conglomerate of people bonded by the same culture, history, and motives. A government exists to further the prosperity of the state in which it was installed. In a nation with such a diverse and assorted population, constantly expanding due to immigration, complications are bound to arise: loyalty to different lands, various cultural differences, diverging aspirations. The United States has excelled in all facets of society due to this diversity; but, it is not exempt from the drawbacks which such diversity entails. Such a young country, founded on immigration, can be easily divided when global conflict becomes apparent. People are suddenly more aware of their heritage, their connections to the home of their ancestors. The motives of the population which originally brought them together to form a nation are promptly pulling them apart. How can a government act according to the motives of its people when the people have diverging motives? A government will have to choose the will of one community over that of another. More often than not, this can lead to the isolation and persecution of the neglected party in order to safe-guard the actions of the government. Neighbors are turned against each other,

At first, the United States took a neutral stance toward aiding any particular side during the Great War. However, a german submarine sank the british ship Lusitania, which resulted in the deaths of 124 American citizens. Woodrow Wilson started implementing “preparedness” a program to expand the american military. The defining moment was when the United States discovered, of the Zimmermann Telegram. This german telegram was intercepted by the British, and called for Mexico to join wars and attack the United States. The war affected both government and society. First, the war had a major impact in Americans everyday lives. Such as the Selective Service Act of 1917, which required millions of men to enter the draft. For government, we got several

This project is about the economics of World War I. It will tell you about the backstory on World War I; how World War I was affected economically; and the economic impact of World War I on America, different countries, and the global impact. On June 28, 1914, Franz Ferdinand, the archduke of Austria-Hungary, was assassinated. Exactly one month later, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Eventually, Germany, Russia, Great Britain, and France had to join the war do to their involvement in treaties. Afterwards, the Ottoman Empire and United States got involved. The world war eventually ended and the countries signed their armistice.

The effect that World War I had upon civilians was devastating. WWI was a war that affected civilians on an unprecedented scale. Civilians became a military target.

World War 1 started in November 1914 and changed the world in many ways. It changed the how the globe looks, new countries were born, changed people’s lives forever and some countries lost their pride and wealth while others gained them. This all started after the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Archduke Franz Ferinand, was killed. After the war, there was no country such as Austro-Hungarian Empire. It now is two countries named Austria and the other Hungary. The World War 1 did not change all of the countries , it only changed some countries. The countries that were affected the most were the Triple Entente (Britain, Russia and France) and the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy). The biggest issue about the World War 1 is how it changed the people’s lives, their surrounding and their cultures.
