This paper mentioned that at first Germany did not have an intention to conduct the war against Great Britain and the United States but several failures piled up and the result they went into the war. On the other hand, Germany had to gain their resources for industrialization. Therefore Germany had preparedness to war against Great Britain and the United States sooner or later. Indeed Germany needed to get resources for industrialization in this era. However if they needed them, they could buy another countries. For example, Sweden of neighboring countries of Germany had tons of iron. German acquisitions of colonies were not relevant with the lack of resources and getting their markets. It was just national “honor” and “interest”. Germany
It is heavily debated that the display of German aggression inevitably contributed to the outbreak of general European tensions, and war in 1914. The use of strategies such as the Anglo-German Naval Race, as stated in Joll’s source, highlighted the aggression by Germany prior to war. Moreover, this type of tactic also demonstrated the desire and hunger Germany obtained for continental power, another factor towards European tensions. The sources in question both support and contest the set statement, to an extent. Sources 1 and 3 by Corrigan and Joll, respectively, argue how Germany’s use of tactics agitated European powers, thus causing war. However, Source 2 by Turner disagrees with the statement, arguing how other European powers were to

In both the plague and world war Z many people died in account of the infection.there are many similarities between the two events, but there are also many differences between the two events.much like in the plague and world war Z ,people would try to avoid infected people, because of this many people had to leave behind their loved ones. In the plague healthy people avoided the sick, doctors refused to see their patients,priest refused to administer last rites,and shopkeepers closed stores. many people fled the cities because of how many people lived in the cities. They left towards the countryside. in world war Z people left behind loved ones too because if they were infected they would most likely bite them and infect them too.
During the years leading up to the United States’ entry into World War II, the state also faced the threat posed by the European dictators and the Japanese military clique. Wartime preparations lead to great economic dislocations and social tensions. Labor shortages, rationing, and finding enough transportation were only a few of the new challenges. The need to house defense workers became a high priority. Military training camps, shipyards, and aircraft factories also had to be constructed quickly. Nothing could be allowed to impede the speeding of planes, tanks, guns to the fighting front. California’s war industries drew workers from all parts of the United States. The state demolished its “bum blockade” formerly elevated against
The Thirty Years War was one of the longest and destructive wars over religious and political conflicts between the Catholic and Protestant states. The Peace of Westphalia, a series of peace treaties, was the peak element of the Holy Roman Empire; it paved the way for compromises in establishing sovereign states and the basis of religious toleration.
The defeat of Germany in World War Two was due to many factors. All of these factors were influenced by the leadership and judgment of Adolf Hitler. Factors such as the stand fast policy, Hitler’s unnecessary and risky decision making in military situations, for example when attacking the USSR, and the declaration of war on the US. Plus other factors, like Hitler’s alliance with Italy, despite its obvious weaknesses, and the pursuit of the final solution, can all be attributed to the poor leadership and judgement of the Fuhrer, which would eventually lead to the downfall of the Third Reich.
WW11 started when Germany, Japan, and Italy were allied up and started to invade land. The USA, Soviet Union, and Great Britain were also allies. Japan, Italy, and Germany wanted to gain land. Japan wanted to take part of Asia and the south pacific. Germany wanted to take Northern and Eastern Europe. Italy wanted to take over Northern Africa and Greece. WW11 started on September 1st 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. Germany was led by Adolf Hitler; he had a style of warfare that was deadly. He used infantry, armor, artillery and aircraft work. In this type of war style they had to be able to communicate so they equipped every vehicle with a small radio to communicate with other vehicles. The German war style was called the Blitzkrieg. This
Germany and Taking Responsibility for World War I The outbreak of World War One in August 1914 caught European politicians by surprise: the German attack on Belgium, as a prelude to their attack on France, was almost the last in a series of events that dragged the world into war. Thus the attack on Belgium was exactly the reason the English needed to enter the war.
"In Germany, they first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic. Then they came for me -- and by that time there was nobody left to speak up."
A. Attention step: the change in the context and trend of war in terms of ferocity of the weapons and the increase in human/nations participation was occasioned by the industrial revolution and the French revolution.
Throughout the span of American history, there have been many culturally significant eras. Following the atrocity of World War II, Americas economy began improving rapidly. A new decade represents another period of triumphs and tragedies, that are inevitably apart of an cultures history. The excess of new products created lead to a significant change in americans perceptions. New technology becoming available for public consumption helped improve the quality of families lives. From the approval of the hydrogen bomb production, to the commercialization of Disneyland, the 1950’s remains as one of the most culturally significant decades in American history.
It led to economic problems and a lack of food or jobs. These in turn
Closer examination suggests the origins of this statement lie more with fears of the shortcomings of their war plan, than with an overwhelming 'will to war.' The logical conclusion is not drawn from this quote, which would be 'to present Russia or France with an ultimatum, which would unleash war with right on our side.2' Germany definitely saw war as a way to escape her problems, following the example of Bismarck in 1871, but the war council in itself is not evidence enough to prove that they were planning on starting a war. It only reveals that they were prepared to take a huge risk on European safety to achieve their aims and due to their inadequate war plans (which relied upon Russia being ill prepared for war) needed to take that risk sooner rather than later. It has been argued that the "sole cause for the outbreak of war in 1914 was the Schlieffen Plan"3, because whilst other countries' mobilisations were diplomatic the very nature of Germany's meant war would be certain. As early as the 1920's when the acceptably held view was that of collective responsibility, Albertini was demonstrating that Germany held more responsibility for the outbreak of war than the other nations,

Germany, a country rich in culture and heritage, yet plagued by the fallout of World War I and World War II, has progressed to become the centerpiece of the European Union and the world’s third richest economy. The first German Empire dates back to the Roman Empire starting in the 8th century AD. During the Middle Ages the German Empire fended off many attacks against their soil from the Hungarians and the Slavs. Fighting and power struggles continued until the 1400’s, when the modern world gradually came into existence with intellectual, economic and political changes.
