Europe, ancient and modern, is known for internal wars. From countries trying to obtain more land to genocide Europe has seen it all. However 1914 started something new, World War One or The war to end all wars. WWI brought more death to the western world than ever before. In 1918 WWI ended and with it came an uneasy peace to Europe for twenty. The war that ranged from 1939 to 1945 became known as World War II, a sequel to WWI with and even larger death toll than before. Although they were twenty years apart, World War II can be seen as a continuation of World War I and not a war of its own. On June 28th, 1914 in Sarajevo, Bosnia the Austrian Archduke, Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist. This led to the …show more content…
The punishment came in the form of the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty got rid of what little power Germany had left. The Treaty was written by Lloyd George the Prime Minister of Britain, Clemenceau a statesman of France, Woodrow Wilson President of the United States and sometimes Prime Minister Orlando of Italy. The Treaty confiscated all of Germany’s overseas possessions. The army of half a million people was reduced to a volunteer defenses force of 100,000. Germany was to compensate France for the destructions of its coalmines. The German territory on the left bank of the Rhine and a 50 kilometer strip on the right were demilitarized and placed under Allied occupation for twelve years. Germany was also to take the complete blame for the war. The meeting to sign the treaty took place in the same Hall of Mirrors where the German Empire was declared in 1871. The Germans themselves were only present twice throughout the process of creating the treaty. Once on May 7th to receive the draft conditions and once on June 28th to sign the document. The Germans had one opportunity to show the new Weimar Republic. Count Ulrich von Bockdorff-Rantzau represented the Germans and made a very poor impression. As Lloyd George’s secretary Phillip Kerr once said, “At the start everybody felt a little sympathetic with the Hun, but by the time Bockdorff-Rantzau had finished, most people were almost anxious to recommence
The treaty of Versailles was the peace settlement signed after World War One. The treaty was signed in Versailles Palace near Paris-hence its name-between Germany and its Allies. The three most important politicians were David Lloyd George (Britain), Georges Clemenceau (France) and Woodrow Wilson (USA) also known as ‘The Big Three’.
Woodrow Wilson of America, David Lloyd George of Great Britain and Georges Clemenceau of France attended the signing of The Treaty of Versailles, which took place at Versailles Palace located close to Paris. The treaty was the peace settlement after World War I. After months of negotiation the treaty was signed June 28, 1919.
A dilemma that was happening for many years can be resolved, but there will be disadvantages and advantages ,no matter what the outcome is. The Great War also called the World War I , started on July 28, 1914 in Europe.The war lasted for four years to end all wars that happened before involving other countries. From beginning to end of the four years, men were not the only ones working hard, so were women. When men went to fight in the war, it led to major grasps in the labor market, so industries and the government reached out to women and asked them to volunteer in specific jobs that were hiring. However the paying jobs did not mention to women that the high wage jobs were temporary.The government used a sneaky tactic on women in order
On the 28th of June, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo, Bosnia by Gavrilo Princip who shot both the Archduke and his wife dead. The assassination set off a chain of events that brought the world into the bloodiest
First off, there were many writers of the treaty at first, and then it went down to ten. From there the most influential goes down to four. But the biggest of them all were the “Big Three”. They were Georges Clemenceau of France, Lloyd George of Britain, and Woodrow Wilson from America. These delegates were very different from each other, especially on the ground of the punishments. Clemenceau, coming from France, was very biased. France had seen the most damage during the war, so of course he wanted to see Germany
On June 28th 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by six Black Hand terrorists in Sarajevo, Bosnia. This is the spark that would start one of the biggest wars in known history that would make thousands of widows and thousands of orphans.
It’s been over a century since Austria declared war on Serbia. The assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, sparked a war that was to end all others. It clearly did not. Countless wars and conflicts have been fought since, each evolving into something different than the last. As a result, modern warfare has evolved into something completely different than that of a century ago. Although war is fought for fundamentally the same reasons, warfare, as it is practiced today, is different from that of World War I. This is primarily due to the rise of counterinsurgency operations, the focus on air superiority and the use of technology, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, which have led to the decline of mass army against army war.

Germany was given 3 weeks to accept the terms. If it was not accepted, continuation of the war would be inevitable. The Treaty of Versailles is widely known for its essentials to end the war, but it inflicted harsh terms on the Germans as well. Germany was forced to give up 13.5% of its 1914 territory (including land taken from Russia in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and a lot of vital industrial territory), its army was limited to 100,000 men, German use of heavy artillery, gas, tanks, and aircraft was banned, Germany 's navy was restricted to shipping under 10,000 tons, Germans weren 't allowed to use submarines, and Germany was forced to pay $55 billion in reparations. The $55 billion the Germans needed to pay was one of the harshest term of the treaty. After the Germans gave up this money, unemployment struck and Germany slowly collapsed as a whole, and the German people accepted Hitler’s rise to power under the motto that he was going to help Germany become a power and avoid war (he obviously didn’t). This treaty received mixed reactions.

At the turn of the 20th century, the nations of Europe had been largely at peace with one another for nearly 30 years due to efforts being made to ban war and achieve a permanent peace since the 19th century. Though Europeans believed that this progress would make war a thing of the past, rising tensions would cause a massive war that engulf Europe and spread across the globe. The boiling point ended up being Austria-Hungary’s declaration of war against Serbia setting off a chain reaction within the alliance system. The countries of Europe followed through on their pledges to support one another. As a result, nearly all of Europe soon joined what would be the largest, most destructive war the world had yet seen. Said war was the First World War, an international war, involving multiple allied European nations beginning in 1914 and ending 1918. The war drew in all the world’s economic great powers, two opposing alliances were formed: the Allies (based on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France, and the Russian Empire) and the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
On June 28, 1914, the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were shot in the city of Sarajevo by Serbian radicals.
World War I (1914-1918), as one of the most destructive global conflicts that ever happened in human history, has not only left 17 million hot-blooded idealistic young men returning home in urns of cold cremation ashes, buried in tears of their heartbroken parents, but also has left the post-World War I society haunted by people’s profound doubt towards the past as a source of barbarous and inhuman atrocities. Therefore, instead of looking back to the past that was significantly wounded by the hierarchy and power relations established by the wartime individual domination, people started imagining an apolitical Utopian future, in which social divisions would be dissolved and power dispersed. In the years that followed, the dangerous past was intentionally left behind, as the post-war society scientifically and spiritually progressed towards the creation of a new Utopian order that was free of hierarchy and individuality.
World War I, took place between the periods 1914 to 1918. During this period, the British had already settled in India and were oppressing the local Indians. When the war broke out, they asked the Indian soldiers to take part in the war with a promise of Independence if they emerged victoriously. The Indians kept their word and sent their soldiers to war and even became successful, but the British did not keep their end of the deal. They failed to grant India their independence and continued to oppress them. Therefore, the Indians felt that their soldiers had helped the British win their wars at their expense and thus did not consider them as heroes. They even failed to honor the soldiers similarly, the British downplayed the contribution
On 28 June 1914 Austria's Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the nephew of Austria's emperor and heir to the throne were shot to death with his wife Sophie while visiting the city of Sarajevo in the Austro-Hungarian province of Bosnia-Herzegovina. His assassination by a Serbian nationalist was viewed as a huge excuse to attack Serbia. This incident displayed as the trigger of World War I, but it was just spark.
