Against germany

almost all of Europe; Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Russia all participated. The war wiped out a significant amount of the young generation and changed politics, economics and public opinion in Europe for decades to come. While many countries had a role in the war’s outbreak, Germany probably bore the greatest responsibility due to three factors. The Germans had pushed for war since the founding of the modern German state. Germany had poor relationships with many of the countries

World War 1 could have been a war to end all wars were it not for the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty blamed Germany and its allies for the war. This caused financial turmoil in Germany, causing the events that eventually led up to the second World War. I believe that Woodrow Wilson was just trying to help, but his actions caused more harm than good. The Treaty of Versailles changed Germany’s boundaries and had it pay for all the reparations from the war. John Maynard Keynes predicted that it

2015 Final Exam Part I: Identifications 1. Fascism- Fascism is a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power. It is usually emphasized by aggressive nationalism and often racism. Two countries that adopted fascism were Germany and Italy. Germany was under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, while Italy was under Benito Mussolini. Fascism led both countries to have extreme nationalism and instilled a great sense of pride in both countries. This great national pride can be seen during

that came as a result of the Great War it may have been avoidable. Germany was widely accused of starting the war and therefore paid drastically for it after it was over. Although Germany is accused of technically starting World War One, if they hadn’t been so involved and bound into the politics of the Austrian-Hungarian empire the war may have never happened. If I were to travel back to 1900 I would advise the leaders of Germany to rethink their alliances and their depth of involvement with the

America remained neutral for 3 years until they started to get triggered by the surrounding countries, especially Germany. America had enough when Germany sunk the Lusitania and violated the Sussex pledge. The Lusitania was a British ocean liner. It was sunk by a German submarine on May, 7th 1915, that shot it with two torpedoes. The Germans sank the ship without any warning, this went against the Cruiser rules because it was officially a non military ship. This angered the the U.S because 120 American

Factions crusade against the government and the public. Just like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, by Bosnian Serb nationalists sparked World War I, the killing of a teenager, Benno Ohnesorg, by German police sparked a radical student movement that would change Germany once again. The death of Benno Ohnesorg was also a reminder of government-sanctioned murders during World War II under Hitler, which was once again present in post war Germany. Moreover, individualism

decision is the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles required Germany to pay excessive reparations. This was impossible at the time, as the country was just in a long and expensive war. Another irrational decision was the laws of the League of Nations. The League of Nations was a good idea, but it had flaws. Allowing members to leave the League of Nations at anytime without consequences is an example of a flaw. Germany used this to their advantage and left it in 1933. Finally, the leaders

decide what reparations Germany would be given for it’s part in the war. The delegates decided that Germany should be blamed for the entire war, and suffer serious consequences. These included Germany losing territory, colonies, military power and it’s pride. I don’t believe that the reparations that Germany was given were not fair for several reasons. First, the Treaty of Versailles blamed Germany for the war. Second, the financial reparations that were given to Germany at the end of the war were

The agreement stated that West Germany was to pay Israel the cost for the uprooted and destitute Jewish refugees that the newly found country took in after the war, as well as to compensate individual Jews , via the conference of the Jewish Material Claims against Germany for the loses of Jewish livelihood and property after the Nazi occupations and genocide. That is just a quick overview of the reparations

At the outset of World War I, Germany wanted to avoid a two-front war at all costs. However, due to the Franco-Russian Alliance, Germany was forced to issue an ultimatum to Russia. Meanwhile, Germany’s ally Austria- Hungary mobilized it’s troops to crush Serbia (This placed Russia in a bad spot because the state believed that it was Russia’s duty to protect the Slavic people in the Balkans). Russia did not want this situation to make them look weak, so Czar Nicholas II ordered a partial mobilization
