I, as a citizen, should respond to globalization to a moderate extent. Globalization affects different people in a variety of ways. As a citizen, I believe it is my duty to respond to globalization. Globalization not only affects people as individuals, but people as a whole. For example, both World War I and World War II had as big of an impact as they did because of globalization. There are both negative and positive aspects of this. Because of globalization, countries were able to get the support they needed to help fight for their side. On the contrary, this dragged more countries into the wars, and those wars have lasting effects. Through globalization, World War I has caused permanent income taxes for Canada, World War I lead to World War II, and to this day, people are still dealing with the consequences. Archduke Franz Ferdinand had the throne of Austria in 1914. However, on June 18, 1914, Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serb nationalist. In outrage over Ferdinand’s death, Austria declared war on Serbia. Russia became involved because of an alliance with Serbia. Because Germany had formed alliance with Austria-Hungary, they declared war on Russia. The British Empire, including Canada, became involved on Serbia’s side. By 1917, both revolution and civil war had began in Russia. The United States had joined the war on the side of the British Empire. On November 18, 1918, Germany signed an armistice, thus ending the war. Soldiers went back to their countries, those that
I believe that World War II was a continuation of World War I because of some not resolved issues. Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles by expanding the military and invading Poland. One of the events that led to the beginning of World War 1 was: Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, and Nationalism; which stands for MAIN. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia but they then joined up with Russia. After, Germany declared war on Russia which caused the war to expand. World War I ended in 1918 when Germany surrendered. It also had a great impact on European countries after it ended.
World War I began in Europe in 1914. Europe was divided as two competing alliances, Central Powers (Britain, France, and Russia) and Triple Entente (Germany, Austro-Hungary, and Italy). On June 28, 1914, the two alliances started breaking apart. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his wife, Sophie, were assassinated by a Serbian nationalist while visiting Sarajevo. Austria declared war on Serbia as a result. This led to Russia defending Serbia. By August 3, Germany declared war on Russia and France and invaded Belgium. Great Britain declared war on Germany. By then, Europe and a part of Asia
The Greeks have city states and they were the first democracy, America adopted that idea. The city states had rulers who would protect the people by shielding them in castle like structures with high walls during war. A different idea America adopted from Greece is boys would be enlisted into the military when they became a man and America used the draft in some wars. Something that is different however is Greece unlike America could choose to keep their children or to possibly drop them off the nearest cliff. Despite the differences from Greece, America learned and gained democracy, literature, and history. The history recorded by the Athenians was about the lives they lead and encounters they had. Athenians are one of two types of people
The actions before the United States took part of War World I, were led by chronological events. It started on 1914, when Archduke-Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Which caused a rapid chain of events of accusations and threats followed by the incident that had occurred. Many countries around the world like Austria-Hungary, accused the Serbian government of the assassination attack and hoping to have used the incident as a justification of settling the question of Slavic nationalism once and for all. Nerveless, Russia supported Serbia while Austria waited for the declaration of war until its leaders had received assurance from German leaders Kaiser Wilhelm ll, if whether Germany would support Austria if there were
World War II-- also known as The Holocaust / The Genocide -- was the world 's second 'Great War '. World War II was much more larger in scale and more longer in duration. World War I had only lasted for four years, while World War II had lasted for six years. I find it quite interesting that contrary to popular belief; the United States did not enter World War II until 2 years after the genesis of the conflict. It was only in 1941, when the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor that the United States had entered the war. World War II started in 1939 due to Germany performing an unprovoked attack on Poland. Surprisingly, only a few months later after Germany invaded Poland; the whole European continent was at war. In 1939, the United States was not ready to go to war. In the early 20th century, the United States Army only ranked 39th in the world. Many Americans believed that the United States could not handle another global conflict right after the Great Depression. Although the United States was not 'officially ' part of the war at that time, that did not stop the United States from becoming 'unofficially ' involved.
On June 28, 1914 Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist. His death was the spark that ignited the dry grass and wood pile that was Europe. One month later on July 28th, 1914 Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. World War 1 had begun. The sides were the allies: France, the UK (and their colonies), Italy, Russia, Japan, Romania, Serbia, Greece, and Portugal. The other side was the central powers: Austria-Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, and Turkey. The United States said that they were neutral in the beginning, but due to the US being under attack despite its neutrality, the growing anti-German sentiment in the US influenced by historic ties to Great Britain, German policies of aggression, and American and British propaganda the United States entered World War 1 on the side of the allies on April 6, 1917
The war started with the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the Archduke of Austria on June 28, 1914, by Slav nationals when the Archduke was in Sarajevo. As Serbia declared war against Vienna, the governments of France and Russia quickly became involved. Germany quickly entered into the fray, opposing France and Russia. Shortly thereafter, Great Britain took the side of France and Russia forming the Entente Alliance.
Following the assassination, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. After the assassination, terror attacks and a chain of killings that Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia for, then eventually declared war. Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia sparked an even larger war that lasted for four years, World War I. When the two countries went to war they called on their allies to help them fight, Germany supported Austria-Hungary, Russia was allied with Serbia, France was Russia’s ally, then Germany mobilized on Belgium which caused Great Britain to declare war on
There was a lot of inventions from WWII that changed the world. One of the inventions that changed us is helicopters because they help us get around faster and easier. Another was the Gustav gun it was so large it defined how we can build guns and war machines. The last one is the Goliath it was a gas powered RC vehicle that destroyed enemy tanks, which helped people get past the enemy defense. These are some of the things that changed our world.
World War I could be compared to playing a giant chess game between the nations. Austria-Hungary initiated the game when they declared war on Serbia the 28th of June 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro Hungarian throne 1. This game was constantly monitored by other nations, and many of them picked sides and joined in on the chessboard. On the sidelines, the neutral powers were simply spectators who kept their mouth shut and refused to cheer for either opponent. The United
In this week’s “Working with Evidence”, the primary focus was on globalization, which is the process of businesses or other organizations developing international influence or operations on an international scale, after World War II. Based on the provided six images and the text of Chapter 23, it presented different ways various groups of people experienced globalization since the end of World War II. To begin, visual source 23.1 (‘Globalization and Work’) shows a Chinese-owned company producing jeans in a small country in southern Africa called Lesotho - this image shows the economic benefits of globalization. Many companies in wealthier countries would often find advantages to build facilities in places where labor is less expensive or environmental regulations are less restrictive. However, some companies would abuse the process of economic globalization as shown in visual source 23.3 (‘Globalization and Protest’). Visual source 23.3 shows a protester in Sao Paulo, Brazil, holding up a sign that reads “A better world according to Monsanto is a world with more cancer.” The company Monsanto is a major producer of herbicides, genetically modified foods, and many highly controversial chemicals such as DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange, and bovine growth hormones. In dozens of developed/developing countries activists have demonstrated or riot against government policies that removed subsidies raised prices on essential products, frozen salaries, or cut back on social services. Although
World War I began when Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and his wife were assassinated in a parade on June 28, 1914. This became the excuse for Austria-Hungary to attack Serbia. Austria- Hungary had an alliance with Germany upon declaring war on Serbia, who had an alliance with Russia. This resulted in a chain-reaction because their alliances had alliances with other nations, then they had even more alliances with other nation, so by the time Austria had officially declared war half of Europe was involved in the dispute due to their alliances with other nations, thus making it a world war. The war consisted of two opponents: the allied forces (France, Britain, and Russia) and the central powers (Germany and Austria-Hungary).
Global warming is a world-wide issue that effects everyone and everything. It is the “increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate”. The main causes of global warming are the deforestation and the manufacturing emissions results to an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are comprised of: water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and any fluorocarbons. The effects of global warming are endless and if it continues at this rate, the world could be in danger. Although, there are many ways to minimise the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which can help to prevent the harmful effects of global warming. Global warming is an ethical issue that is debated around the world by people who consider it as the biggest challenge in the 21st century and others who disregards it.
In Ancient Egypt death was viewed very differently than we view it today. The Egyptians viewed afterlife as a continuation of one’s soul. They saw life as a journey and believe that it was ultimately preparing you for death (Ruiz 97). Mummification is the process of preserving a deceased body so that it can have eternal life. The word “mummy” comes from the Persian word “mumiyal” meaning bitumen which is a natural form of asphalt (Riggs 85).
World War I was a devastating war that had a long-lasting effect on every European country. After the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austrian throne, and his wife by the hands of a Serbian terrorist group known as the Black Hand. Germany urged Austria-Hungary to attack Serbia, but Russia stepped up to protect the country. Germany ambushed Belgium, and proceeded to Russia, throwing Great Britain into the war due to their alliance with Belgium. As a result, the continent of Europe, including Great Britain, Italy, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and France, was plunged into a great World War. The war lasted from 1914 to 1918, and it left Germany singled out as the catalyst. In November 1918, Germany finally agreed to an Armistice, a halt in the fighting, but they did not consider themselves to be surrendering. At the time, the Germans believed that they would play a role in constructing the treaty that would end the war, but when the time came, they were not allowed to participate. Germany was greatly angered by this, but there was nothing that they could do for their army had been disarmed. They had two choices: sign the Treaty or be invaded by the Allies. With no other option, the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919 in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles in France. Although the Treaty of Versailles did bring an end to World War I,
