World War I and How It May Have Paved the Way for World War II

Beginning in the summer of 1914 and lasting four long years, World War I, was a revolutionary war between the Allies, Central Powers, and Japan. Militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism were among the reasons for the world war. There were over seventeen million estimated military deaths, and millions of people were

One could make the argument WW 2 was a continuation of WW1. World War 2 occurred twenty years after World War 1. WW 1 left causes leading to WW 2, like, Treaty of Versailles and the search for thorough ideas, such as Fascism, communism and militarism. It was due to the terrible conditions of different countries after the wars. I think that World War II was a continuation of World War I.

World War I, also known as the first World War, or the Great War, was a global war originating in Europe the began on the 28th of July 1914 and lasted until the 11th of November 1918. World War I was a war that was fought between two sides with a few of the World’s greatest Nations of that time. The two sides were Triple Entente which included Britain, France, and Russia, and the Triple Alliance which was consisted of the countries Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. World War I left a mark on history as we know it, what could have possibly led to that war?, What were the underlying causes of World War I?. The major causes of “The Great War” or WWI consist of four long-term causes and one short-term cause. The common acronym that’s used for the four long-term causes to help students remember the causes of WWI is M.A.I.N; the acronym stands for Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, and Nationalism,and the short-term cause The Assassination of the ArchDuke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo on the 28th of June 1914. To put all of this in a simpler way the five major causes of WWI was Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, Nationalism, and the assassination of the ArchDuke Franz Ferdinand. Each of topics played a significant role in the reasons why WWI would begin.

WWII was a war in which the United States was hoping to stay out of. But that hope was shattered when the japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. THey managed to completely knock the pacific fleet right out of the fight before it had even began. Immediately after, the U.S declared war against Japan. Then a mass production was in effect in the states. getting America right back on its feet in the pacific. Many battles ensued in one of the worst world wars ever seen before.

Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.” This quote is an accurate description of the mindset during both World War 1 and World War 2. There are many aspects of war that can be compared and contrasted. I am going to compare and contrast World War 1 and World War 2. I will explain how they started, what happened or changed during both, and how they ended.

Both wars caused great shifts in this world and molded it to be where it is now. WWI and WWII both had many of the same post-war effects and caused great changes. They shared the display of America’s power, brought us and England and France closer together, Boosted and Destroyed economies and much more. They both had differences too such as, WWI destroying Germany’s economy instead of splitting it up into two different countries. And WWII having the effect of new nuclear power, and the effects on the Pacific as well as Europe. Many differences and similarities were shown in these two major wars and brought us here.

World War II was a continuation of World War I, to prove this statement I have found some accurate reasoning as to why this would be true. The key instigation of World War II began with patriotic hostility, unresolved issues, and bitterness that was carried over from World War I and the in between period of small wars in Europe, not forgetting to mention the outcomes of the Great Depression in the 1930s.

We all know that there were two World Wars, but World War II was involving three different groups - France, Great Britain, and Germany. Germany was declared for war in 1939 by France and Britain (Adams, 12). Hitler had already taken over Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia. However, Hitler came into Paris nine days after the Nazis took control (Adams, 14). This was after Germans had to accept anti-Communist and Jewish policies, as mentioned before. In resistance, Communists groups gained help from the USSR. Until 1941 in Europe and North Africa, the war was fought (Adams, 24). The bombing of Pearl Harbour made this war worldwide.

World War I, also known as the Great War, was one of the most important and traumatic war in history. It left many countries in devastation and chaos. Countries involved in the war, like Europe and America promised to prevent any other future world war because of the millions lives taken and the destruction caused to the world in the previous war. However, peace was not enjoyed for long and after two decades, the Second World War began from the issues that were left unresolved from the previous conflict. There was not one specific factor that started World War II, but many causes of which two of those were the economic instability of Germany and the resentment of Italy and Japan over the Versailles Treaty that was put forth after World War I. World War II was the second most destructive and disturbing war in history that lasted for six years and resulted in tremendous casualties.

Did you know that US soldiers trained with sticks instead of rifles, and barrels instead of horses. At the end of this you will be taught how World War 1 started and how it ended. President Woodrow Wilson, and why he wanted to be neutral during World War 1. Weapons of World War 1, and who used which weapons. Liberty Bonds, and how it helped the allied forces. Major battles of the war, and who was involved. World War 1 had a huge impact on the world, because it was the first war that the Allied powers and the Axis powers declared war against each other.

Have you ever wondered why World War II happened despite World War I being the war to end all wars? World War I lasted four years and was very gruesome. Much of the Western Front was destroyed and about 10 million people died. Germany ended the war by ceasing fire and making an armistice on November 11, 1918. The Allied Power had successfully defeated the Central Powers and America had accomplished their goal to end the war. After the surrender from Germany, the Allied Power met up to make a treaty with Germany, however, Germany was not invited to come and negotiate. The Treaty of Versailles would soon be created and it would put most of the blame of World War I on Germany. The Treaty of Versailles contributed to the onset of World War II

I don't think that WWII was a continuation of WWI. Firstly, WWI was America’s war against Austria, Hungary, and Germany. WWII was a retaliation on Japanese because of the bombing on Pearl Harbor. The main cause for WWII starting was that Adolf Hitler was angry that Germany lost the first war. We ended WWII shortly after we entered by dropping bombs in Hiroshima and in Nagasaki.

WWII was a major event that changed the future of Western Civilization. It was the second world war that lasted from 1939-1945. Many of the world’s nations were involved including all of great powers which were split into the Allies and the Axis. WWII involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries, it left over 60 million people dead including over 11 million people alone being killed from the holocaust. Hitler is to blame for this catastrophe, once he became in power in 1933

World War I also known as the Great War, lasted from July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918, and originated in Europe. There were over 17 million deaths and 20 million were wounded, including 100,000 american troops, and caused millions to be traumatized. Three major causes of the World War I are the Assasination of Archduke Ferdinand, the rise of Nationalism, and the building up of the Military and Alliances.

It is believe that World War II was a continuation of World War I because factors from the First World War, like the Treaty of Versailles, communism and fascism that left the European countries in different states of distress after the war. Not only were the countries left to rebuild after World War I, but it seemed that many countries still had unfinished business to attend too.
