The War Of World War I

There are forty-nine years between the end of the Civil War and the start of World War I. Within those years numerous technological advancements took place. Many of those advancements directly impacted the warfare in the First World War. The Civil War, also referred to as the first modern war, gave way to an even more modernized style of warfare used during World War I. Much of this modernized technology of warfare had a great impact on how tactics and strategies were used throughout the First World War.

The great war also known as World War I was a huge difference in how previous wars were fought. Previous wars were fought in a short time and had small armies. Wars fought before World War I did not prepare soldiers for what was coming. The start of World War I was different from previous wars from the very start. The start of World War I began with an assassination. This war was the first war to use new vehicles and weapons that hadn’t been used before this war. The invention of the plane made it able for planes to be used as a gun ship, light bomber, and heavy bomber. In WWI, a total of 124 different planes were used. Another vehicle that was used at first called the land ship, but then later was called the tank. Seventeen tanks were used

World War I (WWI) had many main events from 1914 – 1918. It was known as the Great War and the war to end all wars. It also introduced us to many new technology to including Barbed wire, machine guns, artillery, poison gas, airships, aircraft 's, new naval vessels and tanks. All these wartime machines and equipment resulted in unprecedented carnage and destruction, with more than 9 million soldiers killed by the end of the war. This First World War or the Great War, was a global war centered in Europe. This global conflict pitted 2 groups against each other “The Allied Powers” and “The Central Powers”. The Allied Powers was made up of Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy and The United States. Important people that were known for the Allied Powers were Herbert Henry Asquith, Prime Minister (UK), Woodrow Wilson (U.S. President), Aristide Briand, Prime Minister (France), and Prime Minister (France). The Central Powers was made up of Germany, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. Important people that were known for the Central Powers were Prince Max Von Baden, Chancellor (Germany), Heinrich Von Clam-Martinic, and Prime Minister (Austria).

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.

Looking back on World War I from a modern day perspective depicts a time of hardship and despair, but from the European viewpoint at the time WWI was a time filled with hope. The early twentieth century was a time that promoted national development in Europe, this desire motivated many countries to attempt expansion in order to prove their power. This caused tensions to rise between conflicting nations, which then produced two competing forces to arise. Each alliance went into World War I with the expectation of a quick resolution to the problems at hand but soon realized that the war would prove to be long and detrimental to a majority of Europe.

November 11, 1918 marketed the end of World War I. During the 2 yeas the United States fought, women became part of the labor force as well as African Americans, the Nineteenth Amendment was passed and factories were booming. Even After the war men returned to the work force and quality of life started to improve. October 1929, the stock market crashed as a result of many buying goods on credit. The Great Depression was the worst in American history and lasted until 1939 before America started in War preparations for World War II. It was after 1945 when men came home and reentered the work force that quality of life improved and we begin to see the rise of the middle class.

World War One, or The Great War as it is sometimes known, significantly altered the course of history for all the countries involved. It ushered in previously unprecedented changes in American politics, economics, and society, through the passage of laws that blatantly violated constitutional rights, a redefinition of women’s role in the workforce and the promotion of agriculture) as well as a rise in radicalism and a new form of patriotism.

At the precipice of World War I (WWI), the United States Army enlisted the help of women nurses resulting in a growth of economic opportunities for women in the nursing field. Before the war women were confined to their stereotype of a being delicate, motherly, and fragile. The war served as an opportunity for women, including nurses, to prove themselves to be more than their stereotype and be involved in the community rather than always sitting behind a man. Propaganda encouraged women to be more involved in the war and soon the concept feminism was reinvented. Female nurses, however, were still struggling to change the minds of people against women taking an active role in society or the military. Nursing had always played an important

World War 2 was a huge turning point in history, that fixed most of the things related to wars that World War 1 was supposed to do but did not. There were many differences between the attitude of the US in World War 1, and their attitude in World War 2, mainly due to what happened in between the wars. Unlike World War 1, the second World War, was not about proving a point in the American’s case, but instead revenge for what had happened in between. In the process, the attitude of the American people towards war changed dramatically from the end of World War 1, to the end of World War 2.

It is the year 1944, the year when the U.S joined the war of World War 2. It morning and you are on a battleship. You are on the landing hangar with everyone who will go to battle. The three captains rally up everyone in your group including you. One of the captain said,“Today it will be the symbol of how Germany started to fall apart”. The other captain would say ,“That right, there will not be any mistakes or we would give them an opportunity to spread far and wide and they would get even more power”. Jack reply “So get your gear and get to the American Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel . Also Max don’t forget to put your helmet this time, remember what happen when you walk out the plank you got a concussion from tripping on your first

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 was one of the most brutal and remorseless events in history; ‘the global conflict that defined a century’. Over nine million soldiers and a large amount of innocent civilians lost their lives. Empires crumbled, revolution engulfed Russia and America rose to become a dominant world power. Huge armies deployed new weapons of devastating effect from rifles and pistols to torpedoes and flame throwers. These weapons were used not only in the trenches but by tanks too. This was an advantage to those who were able to access such machinery as they could easily launch bullets and missiles at nearby enemy bases. The downfall of the tank was the fact it was unable to cross the trenches. Tanks were not the only pieces of equipment that could access this machinery but U boats and planes too. The British carried ‘bolt action rifles’ in which fired 15 rounds per minute at a minimum range of 1,400 metres away. This allowed the British to take out foes at a far greater range. By using machinery in which rules out the need for getting up close to the enemy was a great advantage during world war one. Soldiers ran from trench to trench attacking with all that they had. This resulted in a massacre as the soldiers running toward the trenches were shot down. Machinery such as machine guns and heavy artillery were the weapons used in the trenches. In modern day society, machine guns are the main weapons used by soldiers. This wasn’t the case around the 1914s. They took four

World War I, at the time known as the Great War, was a global war that happened mainly in Europe where the Allied Powers, formed mainly by France, Great Britain, and Russia, were against the Central Powers, formed by Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, and the Ottoman Empire. Someone who doesn’t have a thorough knowledge about the War would be quick to say the causes were economical or ideological or that the direct cause was the death of Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary but it is more complicated than that. Franz Ferdinand’s death was nothing more than a detonator. Although some, like the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel and the American steel manufacturer Andrew Carnegie, did an effort to promote peace “dark clouds” were long suspected to

For many years, causes and driving forces leading to the outbreak of World War I have been argued and disputed. Historians and experts have many different ideas and opinions that may have triggered war. Nationalism, militarism, and imperialism may all have played a role in the coming of World War I, but decisions made by European leaders in the summer of 1914 directly accelerated the conflict.

On December 7th, 1941 a daunting attack was afflicted upon the United States of America. It was a normal day just like any other at the beautiful naval base Pearl Harbor, located near Honolulu, Hawaii. Just minutes before 8 a.m. hundreds of Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base. In just two hours, the Japanese pilots were able to destroy nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight large battleships, and over 300 planes. In addition, over 2,000 American soldiers lost their lives during the attack, as well as 1,000 soldiers being wounded. During this era, many countries were coping with extensive events and changes. The world had only just recently gotten out of the Great Depression which lasted for over ten years. Also, after the “War Guilt Clause” of the Treay of Versailles was signed in 1918 to end World War I, most of the blame for the war was awarded to Germany. This caused tension to build up over the next twenty years and due to a random act on Poland by Germany, World War II was declared. World War II lasted from 1939 until 1945 and was seen as one of the bloodiest wars the world has ever known. At first the United States did not want to be a part of the war because our nation seemed to follow a sense of neutrality when it came to the world wars but because of the attack on Pearl Harbor, our nation had no choice but to join. The day after the attack, the president at the time Franklin D. Roosevelt asked congress to declare war on Japan.
