World War I, otherwise known as the Great War, started in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and lasted until 1918, forever changing the map of Europe and ending the lives of nearly 8 million young European men. The congress of Vienna had successfully created an atmosphere of peace that lasted for 100 years, however in the years leading up to 1915, rising tensions among European powers would create a “powder keg” that required only the slightest event to set off a world war. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand provided the spark need to destabilize Europe and send the nations of Europe into the first modern war, although conflict had been stirring for the past 50 years. In the end, systems of alliances, imperialism,

> When WW1 was finished in November 11 1918, the Allied Powers signed the Treaty of Versie in which blamed the Germans for the war. This treaty made them lose territory, pay for the expenses of the war, and lose military control in which left them in a disastrous state. In the late 1930s, WW2 was about to occur amounting to a tragic event that would later go down in history. A German leader named Adolf Hitler wanted to conquer the world, but primarily he wanted to take Germany out of the misery that was put upon them. He boasted his military without the Allied powers noticing and he gained different territory. Most of all he put ideologies in the German people's minds. He made them believe that the ones that caused all of their defalts and

The unconditional support from alliances can be blamed to cause World War I. The nature of the alliances is laid out in the alliance document. The alliances stipulated assistance and contribution of the signing parties in the event of conflict. It can extend from money or logistic sponsorship, similar to the supply of materials or weapons, to military activation and a statement about war. Partnerships might likewise contain currency components, for example, trade agreements, investment or loans. It is best known to cause World War I. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, European nations formed, abolished, or restructured their own alliances. By 1914, the Great Powers of Europe split into two opposing alliance blocs. For quite a long time Europe had been a mixture of ethnic and regional competitions, political interests, contending desires, military dangers, suspicions and disorder. France and England were antiquated foes whose competition ejected into open fighting a few times between the fourteenth and mid nineteenth hundreds of years.

At the end of World War I, the sole responsibility of initiating the conflict fell on Germany. With the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany took the blame and agreed to pay for reparations. However, the origin of the war was not the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Rather, the origins were nationalism, the creation of entangling alliances, the conflict in the Balkans, and the economic and imperialistic rivalries in Europe. These factors created the right conditions for war to occur. However, the responsibility of initiating conflict can be placed on Austria-Hungary.

Alliances had been formed which made other countries very nervous. This mean’t many counties had friction with each other.

After taking action against Serbia, Austria-Hungary gained German support, and from there, the first alliance began. Within a week, major European powers like Russia, France, and Great Britain became involved, and more alliances were formed. Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary were the members of the Triple Alliance, while Great Britain, France, and Russia were the members of the Triple Entente. If a country in one of these alliances declared war, the conflict would quickly escalate due to all of the countries that would essentially need to become

Why did the Allies win World War II? (Roark 854) In this paper we will be discussing the reasons behind why the Allies were able to defeat the Axis powers in World War II. (Roark Ch.25, p. 792) During the era of World War II technology developed largely during this time. (History Net Where History Comes Alive World US History Online RSS) The improvements in technology helped the Allies win World War II, because of technological advances it helped the Allies be more ahead of the Axis powers, but this was not the only reason the Allies won World War II. (History Net Where History Comes Alive World US History Online RSS) World War II is known greatly for Pearl Harbor in the United States, but in Europe it is know for Adolf Hitler’s need for what he called the “superior race” (Adolf Hitler) that he believed everyone should be and the holocaust. (Hughes, Britannica, WWII) World War II was also the war that included almost every country in the world and caused the most deaths of all time, even today it still holds the record for most deaths especially for a six-year period of time. (Hughes, Britannica, WWII)

Germany became embroiled in a long war, leading ultimately to its defeat in May 1945.

World War II is argumentatively one of the largest events in war history. World War II changed that world and everyone who lived during those six years. Many people believe that Adolf Hitler was the central cause for the war, however, it is important to understand that there are many other causes. These include: Treaty of Versailles, Fascism, Hitler and the Nazi party, the Great Depression, and appeasement. It would be extremely difficult to place blame on only one specific person or event for World War II. However, a mixture of many things can and may however hold the blame for World War II. It is crucial to understand the impact that World War II left countries throughout the world, especially since only eight countries declared neutrality during this wartime. Even though only eight countries remained neutral during WWII, it does not mean that every other country in the world was heavily involved in the world. Even countries who were not heavily involved in the war, were still effected by the war itself.

All these promises to abolish the Treaty of Versailles and rebuild was enough to sell the German people. A people under immense stress led Hitler to rise us seemingly effortlessly.

On September 1, 1939, Germany under the control of Adolf Hitler invaded the sovereign nation of Poland effectively starting the Second World War. By the end of the conflict in 1945 an estimated 64 million people had died, more than the entire population of the United Kingdom (Thomas). The end of the Second World War saw the end of the German Third Reich, the founding of the United Nations, and both the United States and Russia becoming global superpowers. The Second World War’s start is one long debated: a continuation of the First World War that theoretically ended in 1918, Japan seizing Manchuria, Germany’s reoccupation of the Rhineland, or Germany’s invasion of Poland (World). No matter the start the Second

The most destructive war in the history of nations killed around sixty million people. Germany’s Chancellor, Adolf Hitler seeked a victory that would have an effect generation after generation, but was unable to reach his goal. The United States….

At the end of WWI Europe was economically impoverished and politically divided. It faced the

By the 1914, The Great Powers of Europe separated themselves into two opposite alliances parties. Later, declared a war between the two opposite, meaning a war between them all. For many decades Europe had been a mix of many different ethnicity, competing ambitions, territory rivalries, military threats and suspicions. Back in the 14th and the early 19th France and England were not well known compare to others European nations. There was also problem between France and Germany relations. And France and Russia also had there opposite move. Leaders replied on alliances to protect a country against potential enemies, discouraged to war. During the 1700s period of shifting alliances, kings or leaders formed and they reformed alliances. They got isolated and did their own interest. Many of the alliances collapsed when the new leaders take over and new alliances changed the agreement. These alliance were just a strategy, they didn’t pull nations into an unwanted war.

World war two was a destructive and strategic war, every person, business, services were involved. Around 61 countries were involved with 1.7 billion people (three-quarters of the world’s population). The total war took place in 1939 to 1945; in these six whole years, many events took place which still affects people. After World War one (1918) Germany had to give land and was banned from having armed force. At that period of time, Germany’s citizens vote for a leader name Adolf Hitler because of his motive “to make his country great again and began to arm Germany again and to seize land from other countries”.
