created for a possibility of war for Germany against France and Russia. German Chief of Staff Alfred von Schlieffen made the plan in 1903 as requested by Kaiser Wilhelm II and was later revised in 1905. Since the France-Russian alliance was in place Germany couldn’t attack one or the other, they would have to take them on at the same time in a two front war. Wilhelm II also knew that Britain in an entente with France would be their if conflict took place putting Germany at war with three powerful states

creation of a new constitution in Germany resulted in drastic changes such as the elimination of conflict with the Treaty of Versailles, including reparations and foreign policy that altered the economy in a negative way. Although political and economic changes were prominent in this transition of government, there were also cultural alterations involved, especially in the arts. So how did the rise of the Weimar Republic after World War I affect art in Germany? This investigation will assess the

significant impacts on Germany during the years 1815 and 1871. Nationalism is an ideology based on the sense of loyalty and devotion one has to their nation and the beliefs that those who share a common language, history, and culture should constitute an independent nation free of foreign domination. The first, and perhaps most significant, effect that nationalism had upon Germany was that it led to German unification in 1871. Another impact that nationalism had in Germany was that it allowed Germans

the victors demanded that Germany pay reparations for the cost of damages and injuries. Keynes felt this was too rough for the already economically unstable Germany. “If we take the view that Germany must be kept impoverished and her children starved and crippled, vengeance, I dare predict, will not limp. Nothing can delay that final war that will destroy the civilization and progress of our generation.” (Cran, Web) Keynes’ main fear was the German people would revolt against the other countries due

Germany devised the Schlieffen Plan years before it came into action. It was supposed to allow Germany take control of France, while being at the same time, at war with Russia. But first, Germany had to cross Belgium, and Belgium wasn't opening its doors so easily. Instead, Germany took the initiative to cross and invade Belgium anyway, but this caused a treaty between Belgium and Britain to come into effect. This treaty stated that Britain was to guarantee Belgium's neutrality if a war were to ever

Germany's Change to a Parliamentary Republic in 1919 Between 1918 and 1919, there were many dramatic changes in Germany. This led to Germany turning from being a semi-absolutist monarchy, into a Parliamentary republic. A chain of events starting with the defeat of war triggered two revolutions. In spring 1918 there was one last chance of winning the war before the Americans joined the Allies. This was known as the Ludendorff offensive, it was carried out on

trigger and primary reason for Britain’s entry into World War I. These circumstances included the tension throughout Europe, especially between Germany and France, and Britain’s alliance with France. Belgium had remained neutral since The Treaty of London in 1839, where European powers recognized and guaranteed the independence of Belgium. However, Germany attacked Belgium on August 4, 1914, which immediately brought England out of their “splendid isolation.” Although it is possible that Britain’s

Although Germany had a large responsibility in the outbreak of World War One, Germany cannot be solely be blamed for World War One commencing as other European nations were equally responsible. There are several key contributors to the commencement of World War One. These include Nationalism, imperialism, the assassination of the archduke and the alliances. These contributing factors will justify why Germany is not to be solely blamed for the outbreak of World War One. Nationalism was a major contributing

is no excuse for the terror Germany caused in world warⅡ but as we reflect we can get a better image of what caused this. From August 1914 to November 1918 there was a war between the major powers of Europe. The war left 10 million soldiers and civilians dead and 10 million more wounded. The treaty of Versailles was created by the winners of the world war Ⅰ, to create peace. So why would this be such a bad thing that causes world warⅡ? Well this treaty was harsh against Germany’s; Economy, military

Otto von Bismarck, “The Iron Chancellor,” guided the Prussian ascent to power in Europe and the unification of Germany through the 1864 Second Schleswig War, 1866 Austro-Prussian War, and 1870 Franco-Prussian war. However, this new German Empire at the heart of Europe provided a destabilizing presence and encroached on the existing powers. The newly powerful German state would surely be eroded by war on the European continent. Bismarck showed his talent in isolating Denmark, Austria, and France as
