- Country and tragedy I propose to investigate the commemoration of the First World War in Belgium. The foundation of the Belgian monarchy in 1830 was tolerated by the so called Great Powers under the strict condition of neutrality, an order that needed to be safeguarded by the Great Powers.

The Belgian army was able to withstand the German invaders for a month, making it possible for ...

History

America in the Great War The start of World War I (WWI) is most often marked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian Black Hand anarchist. The Archduke was to have been the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In fact, the circumstances that led to the war began many years before, due to forces of nationalism, imperialism, and militarism within the countries that would become involved. Schuman (1953, p.283) explains how throughout history nationalism grew from conflicts and wars against “alien groups.” Alien groups are groups of people ‘different’ from the majority population. The key to ...

In the annals of history concerning World War I, Germany is typically one of the only countries that was not only punished, but also given a bad reputation after the end of the conflict. Though the term “World War” suggests that they were not the only ones involved, it appears that they were the only enemies worthy of justified persecution. There are many reasons why other countries, such as Austria-Hungary, as it was known then, as well as Russia and Serbia, should have received negative recognition and discipline just as Germany did after the war ended. Though Germany had its ...
