World War I: My First Preemptive War

With World War I being the first modern war, armies could do nothing more than dig trenches in defense. What made World War I the first modern war is all the new technologies that came with it. Technologies like gas masks, powered flight, and U-boats affected the war in a major way. During the war, both sides used poison gas against their enemies. The gas could destroy organs, cause blisters, or even kill the soldiers. Gas masks filtered the air to help keep soldiers protected from the gas. At first, aircrafts were used for spotting enemy positions, however, as the war went on they became used for bombing and fighting. Lastly, German submarines called U-boats were used to sink supply ships and later used to sink Allied and neutral ships.

President Wilson had no choice but to enter World War I to protect the American people and our way of life. Sometimes it is necessary to stay neutral and to not engage. Other times it is our duty to engage the enemy to protect our families, our freedom, and our way of life. President Wilson did all he could to remain diplomatic and finding a solution other than going to war with Germany and its allies. In the end he made the right choice to fight for this nation and the other nations Germany was trying to tear apart.

World War One, was a catastrophe war that ravaged Europe, ending millions of lives. In 1914, December 24-25, an unimaginable event occurred despite governments trying to cover up but failed. It's called the Christmas Truce, a temporary cease-fire between two enemies; Germans and British who laid down their weapons and enjoy the Christmas holidays.

World War 2 was a huge turning point in history, that fixed most of the things related to wars that World War 1 was supposed to do but did not. There were many differences between the attitude of the US in World War 1, and their attitude in World War 2, mainly due to what happened in between the wars. Unlike World War 1, the second World War, was not about proving a point in the American’s case, but instead revenge for what had happened in between. In the process, the attitude of the American people towards war changed dramatically from the end of World War 1, to the end of World War 2.

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

How did the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the rise of Nationalism combine to spark WWI?

World War One, also known as the Great War, was a war between the Central Powers (Germany, Austria- Hungary, and Italy) and the Allied Powers (United Kingdom, France, Russia, and later the United States of America) from June 28, 1914 until November 11, 1918. More than 9 million soldiers and 7 million citizens died in or because of the war, making WWI the bloodiest war by far. Prior to the Great War, Tensions were growing, Nationalism was one the rise, and counties were making alliances and gearing up for war. United Kingdom, France, and the Russian Empire made up the Triple Entente while Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Germany signed an alliance treaty known as the Triple Alliance. It did not take much of a spark for war to start.

Optimistically the Great War, later termed World War I, was predicted to be the war to end all wars. Given the number of wars that have ensued since, unfortunately, this prediction was unreliable. Nearly 10,000,000 military personnel and 7,000,000 civilians lost their lives in World War I and an additional 20,000,000 people were wounded. War land damage was catastrophic. Of the nine French villages completely destroyed on the Western Front during World War I, six remain uninhabited to this day. Undisputedly, World War I had a tremendous impact on the people of many countries. Map changes in Europe and the Middle East, the Treaty of Versailles with its political and economic impact on Germany, and fear over the installation of Russian communism were among the negative legacies of World War I. Combined they would contribute to an unstable geopolitical climate inevitably leading to future world conflict.

World War I, also known as the Great War, started in 1914 when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. This conflict was originally rather minor, but soon, a multitude of different nations were becoming involved. The reason for this was mainly because of the alliances that different countries had made with each other. These countries, such as Germany, Russia, Great Britain, and France quickly became involved in the war. Troops were sent off to fight on the western and eastern fronts of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Germany led very harsh attacks against the Allies and held the upper hand towards the beginning of the war. In 1917 the Allies (Russia, France, Great Britain, and Italy) gained vital countries, but unfortunately lost some in return. In 1917, Russia was taken out of the war by the Bolshevik Revolution, and the United States joined the fight against Germany. Originally the US had been a neutral nation, but after Germany began attacking US ships and submarines as well as making plans with Mexico against this neutral nation, they decided to join the Allies (Editor). After this point the war became increasingly intense for soldiers, as well as people at home. Soldiers tirelessly fought for their countries with an unyielding sense of patriotism and many sacrificed their life for their nation. During WWI, new technologies were introduced that made life for the soldiers increasingly more

World War One is considered to be one of the most important events in modern world history. Lasting four years and resulting in large numbers of casualties, the war represented a "total war" in which nations devoted all of the resources at their disposal to the war effort. Before this time, wars were fought by trained armies sent to fight on a battlefield, and had little impact on the lives of civilians not involved in the fighting. However, during World War One, governments controlled the economy, shifting the focus of industry from consumer goods production to the production of goods that would support the war. All available civilians were put to work either directly in the fighting, or in support of war activities on the home front. Civilians played a critical role in World War One through their expression of patriotism and support of government programs, through their purchase of war bonds, and through the lifestyle changes they made in support of war related activities.

World War One, also known as the First Word War, The Great War and The War To End All Wars took place in Europe from 1914 to 1918. Being a soldier In World War One would have been one of the most dangerous, yet exciting things that a man could have ever done. The war would have put a tremendous amount of physical demands on soldiers, and yet they had to keep fighting even though deep down they knew that they were only small when compared to the grand scheme of war. World War One consisted of three fronts. The Western Front was trench warfare and it was fought on the boards of France. The Eastern Front was fought on the boarder of Russia, this was a war of movement. Gallipoli was on the Dardanelles peninsula and in the foothills of Ottoman Empire now known as Turkey.

There have been several wars within countries itself and across the world, but there has only been one World War I or what some people may call The First International War. This war had pitted the central powers of countries against each other causing alliances to form and having an unbelievable amount of manpower need to fight over the years of 1914 to 1918. Most people around my age do not know anything about this war due to the fact that it possibly has not been taught to them. However, the war consumed so many people in it because it was so violent. It damaged those who were involved because there was no sight of the end after the first few months it began. Also, not all of the world’s major powers joined right away. The United States

As is the case with many wars, a foundation has to be set before the situation can escalate into a fully fledged war. Some concede that ephemeral events just before the outbreak of war are more inciteful of the fighting rather than long held animosity between nations. Others hold credence in the idea that wars often begin long before the first shot is fired, with their sole reason for starting being traced back to previous conflicts and tensions with other countries. The tensions of World War I could be observed within Europe before the war officially started, as is observed through German resentment and competition with other countries, along with their dominating foreign policies and support of their allied nations.

Looking back on World War I from a modern day perspective depicts a time of hardship and despair, but from the European viewpoint at the time WWI was a time filled with hope. The early twentieth century was a time that promoted national development in Europe, this desire motivated many countries to attempt expansion in order to prove their power. This caused tensions to rise between conflicting nations, which then produced two competing forces to arise. Each alliance went into World War I with the expectation of a quick resolution to the problems at hand but soon realized that the war would prove to be long and detrimental to a majority of Europe.
