Women in World War I
Women are one of those factions of society who historically suffered oppression and marginalization. Before the turn of the twentieth century, a woman’s place was considered to be limited to their home and their lives were tied to domesticity. During the late nineteenth century, many movements fought for more rights for women, and these movements gained momentum during the early twentieth century. The World War I gave these movements the much needed impetus and it proved to be a major turning point in women rights struggle. During WWI, when the men marched to the ...

World War one left a completely battered and bitter world filled with cynicism due to a number of reasons. These reasons have a competence of ongoing issues with the modern world and can be seen as an act of violence that is condemned internationally, even by states who sponsored it and by states that weren’t even involved at all.
The World War one, as we know it, gave way to a whole new era of cynicism because there was way too much distrust among people of different races and cultures. No one could actually look at one another without realizing that ...

Introduction

The First World War mirrored a technological trend toward the use of mass production procedures to the use of weapons for warfare. This development started half a century before the First World War and persisted in various conflicts in which weapons were brought to test. The Civil War was heavily influenced by new advancements in technology, especially railroads and guns. However, when the First World War began, the United States discovered itself to lack military technology.
The earlier periods of World War I symbolized a clash of the twentieth era technology with the nineteenth era combat in the form of unsuccessful ...

On June 1914, the world saw the dawn of a new age as its super powers took to arms and went to combat. Otherwise referred to as the Great War, the First World War saw nations join its cause in a form of a ripple effect. In other words, what started as a feud between two countries forced the others to join because of treaties and agreements with the aforementioned countries. Colonies fought for their masters while allies were called on for support. The significance of the Great War lies in the fact that its effects were felt in most ...

Foot Soldiers vs., Commanding Officers

As common with every war, there was a divided point of view among various stakeholders of the World War I. One of the most conspicuous divisions of this of point of view was between the foot soldiers of this war and their commanding officers.
When the war first broke out, a sense of nationalism swept through Europe and a lot of individuals dutifully volunteered. Many of these volunteers thought the war would be an enthralling adventure that they could not afford to miss. Some even lied about their ages to be allowed to enlist. They were however in for a rude awakening ...

Abstract

Under the fairly broad topic heading of “Women and World War I”, this research paper discusses the roles of women in countries directly involved in World War I, the opportunities available to them to actively support their country’s war effort, and the effects on their lives in those troubled times. Predictably, there were differences between the women’s permitted roles in the various countries discussed (United States, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Germany and Russia). One thing common to most countries discussed in this paper is that women earned a new respect and gained an increase in status as a result ...

The Crimean war which apparently began over a trivial control of the Orthodox Christians of the holy cities of Jerusalem and Nazareth was actually the culmination of a long power struggle in Europe. The aggressive expansionism of Russia coupled with its pledge to rule over the Ottoman Empire in order to gain control of the route to Asia and the consequent British fear of losing its business trades to Asia and to check Russian expansionism resulted in eruption of the Crimean war. Ultimately, the Russians had to meekly surrender to the Allied forces of Britain, France, Turkey and a neutral attitude of ...

Back in the early conquest period, the Ottoman Empire has made an impact over history as one of the recognized civilizations in the Middle East. From Middle East to the shores of Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire has managed to influence these locations and implement changes. However, one Sultan made a clear mark upon his ascendance to the Ottoman throne, and is still considered a hero due to his contributions to ancient history and to his homeland Turkey. This Sultan is none other than Mehmed II or the famous Conqueror, the known leader of the Ottoman forces in the famous Ottoman siege ...

Introduction

During 1509 and 1513, the Ottoman Empire went through a civil war that was fought between two brothers, Ahmed, and Selim I, sons of Bayezid II, as they wanted to get the ruling authority after their father. Both had a lust for power, and they led this civil war with the support of their followers and pushed the Ottoman Empire into social and political unrest.
The civil war caused loss of thousands of lives. It could, therefore, be argued that the civil war did not the purpose of fighting for the rights of people. In fact, it was initiated ...

Throughout the course of modern history, numerous events have revolved around the Middle East, affecting the cultural perspectives of the people living there. For instance, the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent political maneuvering by Western/Arab nations spawned decades of bloodshed in the region, destroying both an entire generation of people and the viability of a nation. The creation of Israel in 1948 created a massive power shift in the region, as the Arab nations attempted to retake the territory but were soundly defeated, and again in 1967. The Second World War engulfed the North African Muslim countries, ...

Introduction

The Holocaust, a Greek work, meaning 'killed by fire', refers to the systematic mass persecution and genocide of the Jews executed by the Nazi Party under the leadership of Adolf Hitler throughout Germany and German occupied territories across Europe. Jews were not the only victims of the holocaust, which claimed the lives of millions other including disabled people, gypsies, homosexuals and the war prisoners. Infamous for bringing the Jewish race near extermination, the holocaust accounts for the loss of the lives of "eleven million innocent victims" in total, including about 6 million Jews and 5 million non-Jewish Nazi victims.

This paper examines the relations between Orthodox Christians and Muslims in the Ottoman Empire and between Catholics and Protestants in the Holy Roman ...

Counterfactual History: What Ifs of the Gallipoli Campaign

Introduction
Although counterfactual history is concerned with what didn’t happen, it acts as a manifestation of what did. Without a doubt, counterfactual history challenges the traditional academic ways of thinking with regards to risk management in the historical analysis. It explicitly inflates the range of plausible explanations by focusing on the number of possible outcomes. In doing so, there is a threat that a multiplicity of chaotic perspectives, each facilitated by chance and contingency might open up. In the case of the Gallipoli Campaign, the following questions may be asked if the Ottomans did not win at Gallipoli:

Would the Republic of Turkey still have been established?

Would the Russian ...

- Introduction
Diplomacy, in the modern world, is the practice of countries dealing amicably with each other. It is the process by which countries conduct negotiations and come to agreements; during these talks, individuals often act on behalf of the state. There are a number of desires that shape the movement of diplomacy agreements, but Schroeder suggests that it is the mechanism of shared ambition - which acts like an invisible hand to make alliances and international relationships work. Imbalances of power are bad for peace. In today’s world, diplomacy is the conduction of international relations by heads ...

World War I, also known as the Great War, spanned from 1914-1918. It was also the first major contest of arms fought by large, centrally organized nation-states, which was centered in Europe, since the dawn of Industrial Revolution. It all started on one faithful day of June 28, 1914 when the Austrian archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, were shot by a Serbian assassin in Saravejo.

Introduction

The First World War or the Great War was a remarkable event in the history of the humanity. It influenced and shaped our modern world to an extent like none else, and the reflections of today’s development traces its route back to the decisions taken during and post-World War I. No one had any idea about the huge armies that would be involved, the amount of ammunition that will be expended, and how many people would die. However, the role of Canada in the war is noteworthy, considering the fact that the nation decided to stand by the Britain’ ...

War and technological innovation have often gone hand-in-hand. Advancements in weaponry are, of course, inevitable under the circumstances of armed conflict, but the necessities of logistical concerns like supply, transport, communication and medicine are likewise sources of invention. World War I, a global conflict the likes of which the world had never seen, yielded an unprecedented number of technical advances, the magnitude of which were commensurate with a conflict large enough to destroy the old world order. This was the first war that brought entire citizen populations under fire. As such, it was inevitable that the world’s governments should turn ...

Germany, together with her allies, i.e. Austria-Hungary and Turkey, lost the First World War to France, Britain, United States of America, Italy and their allies. They began the war very strongly, winning several battles, for instance, against Russia. However, the miscalculations of their generals and her allies’ weaknesses proved costly. Moreover, the United States of America join Britain and her allies against Germany. In the end, Germany lost and on 11th of November 1918 she signed an armistice to end the First World War.

People in all countries have always been attracted to youth groups because they can identify with the activities of that group. This paper will demonstrate how one youth movement called the Wunderbirds created a place to belong for many German youth after World War I. The idealism and propaganda used by such German Youth groups created an identity by reacting to a common enemy in the years leading up to the war (1922-1939). The Youth of Germany were challenging the status quo; reacting against an older generation of Germans that were accused of the country’s social problems after World War ...

Traumatizing, disruptive, transformative – all of these words can be used to describe the First World War, an event of fateful proportions that swirled the troops of the Allied and Central Powers all across the old continent in an unfortunate search for victory. It was an event that crushed the naïve and proud courage of young men who threw themselves honorably into belligerent waters for the sake of their countries, only to find depressing, muddy trenches instead. The legacy of the Great War lay far away from the pedestal of glorious victories; instead, it succumbed into the pressing reality ...

Introduction:

The women’s rights movement in the United States came about due to the dissatisfaction of many women within the United States about their lack of influence in politics, equality in the home, and opportunity to study. The reason that this was even an issue was due to the fact that women lost a great deal of freedom in history when Christianity gained popularity. Due to the spread of Christian values, women took a different role that was more modest and family-oriented. As a result of this, women over the ages grew very stagnant in their role in the ...

The history of the United States is a colorful one; it has played a part in most of global major events. If it is a worldwide historical event, chances are the United States has a part in it in one way or another. Such events can be attributed to, and are the causes of America’s rise to superpower that it is today. The fact that America has a key role in some of world events can be considered proof that it is one of the world’s most influential countries, which ultimately gives credence to its reputation as ‘ ...

One of the heartbreaking truths about World War 1 was that millions of innocent men needlessly died because civilian and military leaders were slow in changing their war strategies and effectively employing new technologies. Thus, the war typified a fight between an inefficient nineteenth century warfare which witnessed lot of casualties on both sides, and a twentieth century technology-driven battle in which many decisive technologies were tested. As for America, the trend of industrialism and mass production of machineries and war equipments had begun fifty years prior to the onset of the war during the American Civil War. With ...

Apparently it is of essence to denote that, though Albania is a country that has the aptitude to develop economically and politically. Their capacity to engage in beneficial associations is evidently suppressed due to their earlier engagements (McCormick and Jonathan 47). In essence, being part of the Ottoman Empire that was predominant in 17th century affected Albania in many apparent ways. Though Ottoman Empire was developed for as good course as it may give the impression. Times associated with it are deemed unproductive and unrefined considering that it had a lot of biases that technically alienated non-Muslim countries (Bogdani and John ...

Part A. In 1917, several revolutions took place in Russia which upended the monarchy of the Tsars and ended with the establishment of the Russian SFSR. The last Russian Tsar was compelled to abdicate in February 1917; at that time, a provisional government was established. A second revolution followed in October, at which time the provisional government was ousted, and the Communist government took its place. Between February and October, there was considerable conflict between the Communists (Bolsheviks) and the provisional government; at the point when the provisional government opted to keep fighting the Great War against Germany, the Bolsheviks ...

1.The age of hope
The keys to understanding of present and future, as a rule, inextricably linked with the understanding of human past. Imperialism has long been a dominant force in the history of human civilization. Imperialism is inseparable from the colonial policies, the seizure of new territories and the exploitation of indigenous peoples. Someone inclined to regard imperialism as a purely negative phenomenon, but it’s worth noting that it also had some positive effects. At the end of the XVII century Britain and France have entered the group of the most powerful nations. It was the beginning ...

This paper represents an examination of the events and history surrounding the issuance of the Balfour Declaration in 1917. The history revolves around the key relationship that was to develop between the Zionist movement, its representatives, and the British government during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Balfour Declaration was a document that served both British colonial diplomatic policy, and Zionist political and settlement goals. This declaration and its inclusion into the League of Nations Palestine Mandate of 1922 laid the groundwork for the emergence of the state of Israel in 1948.(The Balfour Declaration, coupled with years ...

People have dreamed of flying since ancient times. The Legend about Daedalus and Icarus, images of Egyptian, Roman, and Assyrian gods, and extant writings about different experiments and scientific thoughts reflect the desire of humans to become closer to the sky. In the United States, history of aviation starts with the day when brothers Wright built a plane and made in it the first flight ever. That happened at the beginning of the twentieth century, and since then, the American aviation had undergone significant changes and had become one of the most developed in the world. How did the ...

While artistic license was applied to the film version of Soldier’s Home, the variances to the short story are relatively miniscule as scenes added to the movie were done so in order to apply perspective and depth in areas as needed. Both provide a powerful narrative of the challenges faced by those returning from war as they attempt to reintegrate into the society left behind. Krebs’ growing disassociation and aversion to those around him are detailed by his actions and reactions throughout both, while in the movie it is vividly apparent that he is trying to reconcile himself from ...

[Professor]

Iran and Turkey are predominantly Islamic countries. Women since time immemorial share the same sentiments of male domination and severe violence and non-participation. On the other hand, both countries have women’s movements that are still in place up to this day. Both of the movements have ebbs and flows but they were able to withstand the wrath of patriarchy, and most importantly, they were able to fight back. From being marginalized and subjected to state fascism, women in Iran and Turkey are now enjoying some of the fruits of the long-running women’s movements. Their dreams of ...

In this paper, I will give an account of Benito Mussolini’s rise to power. I will conduct a research on his development from his schooldays through his editorial profession, to his transmission from being against the war and eventual support of the war. Further, I will report on his character, especially his ability to influence the masses despite of his humble family backgrounds.

Silent Cries: A Look at the Influences on Art that impacted the United States Before, During, and After the War Aras Through Four Pictorial Portholes
History: it really is his-story. What better way to tell a story than to make sure there are pictures in it? After all, a “picture is worth a thousand words” as the adage goes. Paintings, statues, photos, even architecture, from a given time periods such as the early American Colonial days give new meaning to an event in history. On the flip side, knowing the historical background of a piece of art creates deeper meaning for it and ...

Introduction

World War II was the most destructive period in our history, with Adolf Hitler and Germany at the center of it. It was fought with “unparalleled ferocity using weapons of previously unseen destructiveness in unsurpassed numbers” (Marshall Cavendish Corporation 12), and finally culminated in the atomic bomb being used. The fighting lasted longer than it did in World War I and had a truly global scope, with the fighting involving millions of troops.
This war resulted in the deaths of about 56 million people from 1939 to 1945, with 60% of them being civilians (Marshall Cavendish Corporation 12). Although ...

American literary texts are replete with colonial and feminist literature and works on racial prejudices and authoritarianism. Such texts explore and guide the various ways in which ...

Introduction

One of the most significant topics of the Middle East history that is considered to be Arab cultural awakening is undoubtedly Arab nationalism. On the one hand, it gathered strength and coherence during and after the First World War. On the other hand, little light is actually shed on that recent phenomenon. A lot of scholars may even get into a mess in defining Arabs, as well as determining what is meant by Arab nationalism. However, taking into consideration the fact that the twenty-first century is characterized by a considerable political activeness, much attention should be paid to Arabs ...

The Titanic may have been swallowed by the vast seas that fateful night, but the story forever lives on for the survivors and the spectators.
