World War One: The Great War

World war one was one the biggest wars in recorded history. It lasted from 1914-1918 and was a brutal conflict in Canadian history. More than 60,000 Canadians died in this war. When the First World War began in the year of 1914, some believe that it would last for a long time. Many young individuals in Canada and others saw this war as a privilege to travel, adventure, and great beauty. Some individuals were afraid that the conflict would be over before they could get into the battle. Many people signed up dreaming that they would have the honour of fighting for the British Empire, to which Canada belonged. The somewhat “Great War” was different in the dreamy vision than it was in reality. This war took the lives of more than 8 million

Wars have immensely contributed to human history for thousands of years, becoming highly destructive usually for the means of gain. The First World War, also known as ‘the Great War’ was a truly global war centred in Europe. The causes of one of the most destructive wars in human history are still debated to this day. Some historians have come up with a list of multiple causes of the war. However, experts have identified some of the primary causes of the war, including the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, militarism, alliances, imperialism and nationalism. The causes of the truly deadly war, sending ripples of shock throughout Europe and the world, can be summarised into four points, and the start of the war pinpointed to one bullet from a young Serbians gun.

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

The First World War (WWI) was fought from 1914 to 1918 and the Second World War (or WWII) was fought from 1939 to 1945. They were the largest military conflicts in human history. Both wars involved military alliances between different groups of countries.

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 was no single reason why WW1 began, but several factors led to it. Tensions throughout Europe had been growing for many years – nationalism, an arms race, disputes over territories and the division of Europe into two hostile groups were all factors that contributed and helped lead to the beginning of the Great War. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, by Serbian terrorists led to the Austro-Hungarian invasion of Serbia, July 29th 1914. Around this time, Russia mobilized troops to prevent Serbia being crushed. Germany declared war on Russia and, realizing that France would support Russia, declared war on France as well. I don’t see how declaring war on multiple countries at the same time is logical battle strategy. But they thought what they thought. After Germany invaded the neutral country Belgium, Britain declared war on Germany. Japan, seeing the chance to seize German land located in China, also declared war on Germany. Bulgaria and Turkey sided with the Central Powers and soon most countries in Europe had become involved in the Great War.

World War I or "the Great War" as it became known, occurred due to many causes, some of which are still unknown. The obvious trigger was the assassination of the heir to the AustriaHungarian throne archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie on the twenty-eighth of June 1914. But a great portion of the cause dealt with past disputes between the Great Powers and such aggressive principles as Nationalism: the strong feeling of pride and devotion to one 's country, Imperialism: the domination of one country of the political, economic, and cultural life of another, and Militarism: the glorification of a strong army. In addition, the economic competition, the arms race and the prominent alliance system of Europe pushed the continent into the brink of war. In this paper, I will discuss how Nationalism, Imperialism, and Militarism sparked a global rivalry between the major powers. Additionally, I will explain how the assassination of archduke Ferdinand and the action of an individual ignited the confrontation, which pushed the European powers to war in the early 1900 's.

All people are drawn to why events occur, particularly the adversities of life. Corinthians 13:12 says, “Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.”(Holy Bible, NIV) Fortunately, even when tragedy strikes, God 's sole interest is the good of his children. Therefore, we can find comfort in the chain of circumstances God has organized not only for our lives but also for the world. God deliberately envisioned each aspect of The Great War and its effects. World War I was caused by Alliances, which led to a hunger for peace and the demise of the “lost generation” due to PTSD.

World War I was a conflict that claimed over 10 million peoples’ lives, ravaged all of Europe and engineered modern warfare, as it is know today. The Great War has been scrutinized and examined through many complex theories in order to understand how such a conflict escalated to one of the most epic wars in history. This essay, like many works before it, looks to examine WWI and determine its causes through two distinct levels of analysis, individual and systemic. The individual level of analysis locates the cause of conflicts in individual leaders or decision makers within a particular country, focusing on the characteristics of human decision-making. The systemic level of analysis explains the causation of a conflict from a system wide

War arises due to the ever changing relationships between several conditions. it is never provoked by one sole cause; be it social, economic, cultural, opposing interests, etc… But it is rather caused by an amalgamation of these particular concepts, trends, movements, or policies. Peace is an equipoise amidst these countless forces, and at any particular time, any of these changes in forces, trends, or movements, can make for war, while at other times they make for peace. Post World War One Germany felt the need to redeem its sovereignty from their great loss in World War One, and to also assert their dominance to the rest of the world. It was already on thin ice, and if it were to be broken for any reason, it would cause humankind’s

The First World War which killed 17 million people, traumatised a generation, toppled old empires and changed the world's political order, was the bloodiest and largest war of its time before WWII . The war was caused by the assassination of Archduke of Austria-Hungary Franz Ferdinand. Ferdinand was assassinated by of Gavrilo Princip a Serbian nationalist this propelled the major European military powers towards war. War was declared by Austria-Hungary on Serbia on 28 July 1914. World War 1 occurred between July 1914 and November 11, 1918.

For centuries, governments dreamed and had an almost universal hope, about the raise of inter-state systems, to preserve peace amongst potentially antagonistic states;

The first Great War began as a dispute over land between the tribal ponies of Soleria and the Manticores of the eastern marshes. The fighting between the two factions was bloody and brutal, and neither spared an ounce of mercy. Eventually, the ponies were able to overcome their foes though superior magic and weaponry, and from the mountains of corpses and bloodstained earth rose a mighty kingdom.

Some may think war Is dumber and pointless but war shapes our world whether people want to admit it or not. But I know that war drastically affects the economy of all nations which is one reason I like history. Mainly the history about war. I remember a show I watched about World War 1 that called it the first modern war. Which it brought up several good points like how it was the first war to have airship raids, chemical warfare, submarines, and my favorite ….. tanks. While WWI was tragic it did sow the seeds for how we fight to day.
