WWI and WWII: The Impact Written by: Aryaxxthexxelf :) ABSTRACT The assassination of a duke ignited WWI. Serbia and Austria-Hungary’s slight conflict drew a long chain of country alliances and treaties. Germany, Bulgaria, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire battled against Great Britain, Russia, America, and France to determine not only the rightest but also the strongest. Germany left the long fight with nothing to spare but a ruined country and a broken economy, in other words Germany and its allies lost the war, while the other countries against them won the war, but lost the people. WWII took the same shape, only was ignited by the rising of Fascism, a deadly new regime, led by Hitler, who later killed himself of …show more content…
And here’s a funny thing, see, The UK had previously signed an alliance with France, and when a country signs an alliance treaty with another country, a bond is created, one that states: “ If I was attacked, you help, If you were attacked, I help” and that is how it went, really. The number of countries who got involved was actually shocking. Over 100 countries were involved!! Here’s a couple: Germany, Italy, Australia, France, Belgium, England, Soviet Union, etc How did WWII start? Let’s take into consideration that Angela bought a used car without making sure it’s running well. Now, if she has trouble with it later, she’ll return it, and make sure that the next time the car she’s going to buy is totally spick and span. See, people learn from mistakes. But Europe didn’t! Unfortunately, even after 8.5 million people lost their lives in WWI, the world didn’t seem to regret anything! In fact, after the miserable 20 years of pain and misery that followed WWI, the world seemed pretty enthusiastic about waging a second war! And by the world, I mean politicians. 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. But before I dive into the country which started WWII, let’s talk about how tragic WWI’s ending was, German lost, which means that the "winners" of
Britain and France had created, “an alliance which claimed it was defensive in nature” to counter the threat of Germany’s massive army (Document 7). Germany saw itself encircled and formed the Triple Alliance. The alliances formed increased tensions because when one country formed an alliance with another, surrounding nations felt threatened and therefore, formed their own alliances. Europe was divided into two major alliances: the Triple Alliance made up of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy and the Triple Entente established between Britain, France, Russia on the eve of World War I (Document 2). Russia also had close ties with Serbia because of their common Slavic heritage.
> When WW1 was finished in November 11 1918, the Allied Powers signed the Treaty of Versie in which blamed the Germans for the war. This treaty made them lose territory, pay for the expenses of the war, and lose military control in which left them in a disastrous state. In the late 1930s, WW2 was about to occur amounting to a tragic event that would later go down in history. A German leader named Adolf Hitler wanted to conquer the world, but primarily he wanted to take Germany out of the misery that was put upon them. He boasted his military without the Allied powers noticing and he gained different territory. Most of all he put ideologies in the German people's minds. He made them believe that the ones that caused all of their defalts and
The unconditional support from alliances can be blamed to cause World War I. The nature of the alliances is laid out in the alliance document. The alliances stipulated assistance and contribution of the signing parties in the event of conflict. It can extend from money or logistic sponsorship, similar to the supply of materials or weapons, to military activation and a statement about war. Partnerships might likewise contain currency components, for example, trade agreements, investment or loans. It is best known to cause World War I. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, European nations formed, abolished, or restructured their own alliances. By 1914, the Great Powers of Europe split into two opposing alliance blocs. For quite a long time Europe had been a mixture of ethnic and regional competitions, political interests, contending desires, military dangers, suspicions and disorder. France and England were antiquated foes whose competition ejected into open fighting a few times between the fourteenth and mid nineteenth hundreds of years.
The alliances of the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance brought about the main stage of the global war. The Triple Entente, made up of England, France, and Russia surrounded the Triple Alliance made up of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy geographically (Document 3). This led to the build up of armies on both sides (Document 7). When Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, a neutral country friendly with the allies, over the Serbian nationalist group assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, Germany backed it up which created a domino effect of the alliance countries joining the war (OI).
and found one in America. Britain pushed for a closer relationship with the U.S. and this alliance seemed to be more natural for the British. After all the U.S. spoke the same language, were a former colony of Britain and “a special relationship with the
Alliances had been formed which made other countries very nervous. This mean’t many counties had friction with each other.
Why did the Allies win World War II? (Roark 854) In this paper we will be discussing the reasons behind why the Allies were able to defeat the Axis powers in World War II. (Roark Ch.25, p. 792) During the era of World War II technology developed largely during this time. (History Net Where History Comes Alive World US History Online RSS) The improvements in technology helped the Allies win World War II, because of technological advances it helped the Allies be more ahead of the Axis powers, but this was not the only reason the Allies won World War II. (History Net Where History Comes Alive World US History Online RSS) World War II is known greatly for Pearl Harbor in the United States, but in Europe it is know for Adolf Hitler’s need for what he called the “superior race” (Adolf Hitler) that he believed everyone should be and the holocaust. (Hughes, Britannica, WWII) World War II was also the war that included almost every country in the world and caused the most deaths of all time, even today it still holds the record for most deaths especially for a six-year period of time. (Hughes, Britannica, WWII)
Germany became embroiled in a long war, leading ultimately to its defeat in May 1945.
On September 1, 1939, Germany under the control of Adolf Hitler invaded the sovereign nation of Poland effectively starting the Second World War. By the end of the conflict in 1945 an estimated 64 million people had died, more than the entire population of the United Kingdom (Thomas). The end of the Second World War saw the end of the German Third Reich, the founding of the United Nations, and both the United States and Russia becoming global superpowers. The Second World War’s start is one long debated: a continuation of the First World War that theoretically ended in 1918, Japan seizing Manchuria, Germany’s reoccupation of the Rhineland, or Germany’s invasion of Poland (World). No matter the start the Second
The most destructive war in the history of nations killed around sixty million people. Germany’s Chancellor, Adolf Hitler seeked a victory that would have an effect generation after generation, but was unable to reach his goal. The United States….
All these promises to abolish the Treaty of Versailles and rebuild was enough to sell the German people. A people under immense stress led Hitler to rise us seemingly effortlessly.
Theme is also applicable in the world today, as many are faced with severe challenges and ultimately discover means to overcome them. During the early 20th century, much of Europe was dominated by a harsh military dictatorship under the self- declared Chancellor of Germany, Adolf Hitler. As mass genocide against those of Jewish descent started, many feared that there would be no hope for the future. The bleak circumstances of the Holocaust proved difficult to change from within, however, those on the outside never stopped searching for solutions. As more and more innocent people were being killed, nations away from the war zone including Britain and the United States, fought back against the German Nazis.
Everybody’s fault Germany was not the only country that contributed to the tensions that existed in the lead up to the First World War
World war two was a destructive and strategic war, every person, business, services were involved. Around 61 countries were involved with 1.7 billion people (three-quarters of the world’s population). The total war took place in 1939 to 1945; in these six whole years, many events took place which still affects people. After World War one (1918) Germany had to give land and was banned from having armed force. At that period of time, Germany’s citizens vote for a leader name Adolf Hitler because of his motive “to make his country great again and began to arm Germany again and to seize land from other countries”.
At the end of WWI Europe was economically impoverished and politically divided. It faced the
