The War I And World War II

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

_____331) What was the “final blow” that led President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress to declare war against the Central Powers in World War I?

As the war in Europe was heating up, the United States government initiated a state of preparedness. It began increasing the size and strength of its military, enhancing its global politics, and promoting patriotism amongst the public. Industrially, manufacturers changed tooling and operations, gearing up to produce the tools of war that would become more essential than the common consumer goods they had once produced. Labor unions also played a role in this process, advocating conversion in industries that were less eager to change their ways. The marine industry was among the first of the industries to convert to wartime production, cranking out ships not only to fight, but especially to haul the much needed weapons, munitions, and food across Atlantic to the British and the Soviet Union. The Lend Lease act provided these supplies, playing an extremely important role in the resupply and refitting of our allies.

The Great War, or World War I as it has become known as, changed the world in the way everyone had known it to be up until the war started. In June 1914, a nationalist from Serbia assassinated the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The assassination was the first of many events that led to the beginning of the First World War. The war caused a great change in the American stance in the world; it caused the world power nation to turn into a superpower. With the war came the weapons race. None of the countries involved were quite prepared for the large magnitude the war would cause, and all the guns, ammunition, ships, tanks, uniforms, etc. each nation would need for their troops to survive and to have a chance at winning the war.

World War I (WWI) brought unprecedented change to the world. Never before had the entire world engaged in such brutal conflict. World War I brought about great pain and sorrow for the whole world. Even countries who were not directly involved in front line combat bore the suffering of financial and social limitations that affected the entire world during this time.

Following World War I, America turned inward and began to focus on itself. Yet, coming home from war Americans were also fearful of communism due to the recent Bolshevik Revolution where Lenin and the Bolshevik party gained control of Russia and made it communist. This scare led to drastic changes within our nation’s borders as America fought to keep communist influence out of its borders. This was such an impactful event that even the Attorney General of the time, A. Mitchell Palmer, set up a section in the Justice Department to handle issues relating to radicals, this sect of the Justice Department would be very active as, “More than ten thousand people were arrested—some for membership in Communist or left-wing groups, others on no greater pretext than that they looked or sounded foreign—and then jailed and interrogated with little regard for their right to due process” (Lehman, Phelps 260). This severe response to the scare of Communism demonstrates an inward focusing of America. Similarly, in the post-World War I time period America would demonstrate its interest in nativism which it would demonstrate through multiple acts being passed on immigration primarily, the Immigration Act of 1924. During this period of nativism, “Through the whole movement, from 1921 on, for more drastic curbs on the new immigration ran an increasingly assertive racial nativism” (Higham 313). That is America had

Throughout history the United States has been involved in many different wars. Their involvement has brought forth many significant events and changes that have affected the American way of life. I will briefly discuss the events and the United States involvement in World War I and World War II. I will give a brief overview of both wars and explain exactly how and why the United States joined in each.

The cause of WWII was simple: Fascism, a form of government where the people are led by a dictator, or a small group of people. The dictator has a vision of what he wants his country to be like and pushes the population towards his goals.

World War II, a war that was fought globally to get revenge from each country that Germany has lost from World War I, but this whole war was unexpected for any country. This leads to the questions of What were Hitler’s ultimate objectives? Was this war an essential or incidental part of Hitler’s program? Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of Germany, overturned the democratic government, created the Third Reich, persecuted millions, and ultimately led Germany and the world into World War II (definition from the book). There were several objectives for Hitler, such as, the end of Jewish race, taking over Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland, thus leading to a war globally again. However, this war was an incidental part of his program, but Hitler was very enthused with war from the experience of World War I. This essay will discuss about Nazi foreign policy, Hitler’s ultimate objectives, and if the war was essential or incidental.

In the human history there were two deadliest and most destructive wars human civilization had to see. World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945). Both of these wars had massive impact on civilized world. It didn’t start in one day. In the beginning of 20th century there were a lot of things going on in Europe. Unfortunately people of the Europe and the rest of the world had to suffer for some country’s disbelieve.

During World War I and World War II life back home changed excessively. When the soldiers went to fight in World War 1 and World War 2, women and children had to replace men in the workforce. There was an increase in those affected by the trauma of the wars, and the birth-rates dropped during this time.

Both wrold War I and World Ii effected the outcome of how every part of the world turned out to be. World War I had severely impacted much of Europe as well a number force to France, including a medical unit ( this was one few roles women had in war, and were sent to serve in the trenches) and a fighter squadron. Some say the fighter pilots were still in training when the war ended, others that they had just managed to fly a couple of missions before the officially

The Second World War, more commonly known as World War II (WW2), was a globally destructive war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. Although the major causes of the war began earlier the trigger that caused the ripple effect on the major warring countries was Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland. The prime belligerents were Germany and Japan who were part of the Axis powers during the war, warring against the United States, Great Britain, and France who were categorized within the Allied Powers. Although countless countries were included in the Axis and Allied Powers these were the major combatants in the war. Considering how the United States remained neutral throughout the better part of the war they were surprisingly affected on the homefront. WW2 changed American lives in the U.S greatly and mainly for the better. Due to the war, women became the prime laborers in factories while the men fought and for the first time became financially independent; the growing sense of nationalism caused Americans to greatly contribute to the war effort through provisional supplies of food and money which contributed to the war; and most of all the families on the homefront who had sent their men into the war were affected with great sorrow and depression when they discovered the tragedy that had befallen on their loved ones. The Second World War greatly altered the American life for the better for the most part but also cost them a great loss for their country.

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.

World War I, was the so-called war to end all wars, but it did not solve many of the problems that had caused it. So, of course, some years later started another world war. The second World War was the largest and most violent, brutal, and tragic conflict that happened between 1939 and 1945. The two sides in the war were the Axis, which was Germany, Italy, and Japan against the Allies. Canada was one of the many different countries of allies who were fighting against the Axis. Some of the other allied countries were Britain, France, China, and the United States of America. When the majority of people think of who were the allies in World War II, they think about the United States of America and Britain, but people don’t realize that Canada
