Essays on World War 1

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 ...

Peter the Great is considered to be the tsar, who has dragged Russia out of the medieval circumstances to such a degree, that by his passing in 1725, Russia was viewed as a main eastern European state. Peter the Great in his efforts to modernize Russia in the early 1700’s has brought together government, modernized the armed force, made a naval force and expanded the enslavement and subjection of the laborers. His residential arrangement permitted him to execute a forceful outside approach. Somebody might think that Peter the Great’s reforms were more cosmetic, however that is not ...

The Rothschild banking family went down in history as the owners of the largest private wealth not only in the world but even in history with affiliate properties in London, Naples, Paris, Frankfurt, and Vienna. Currently, the family wealth has been diversified into more economically productive ventures such as financial services, production of wines and soft drinks, energy generation, real estate investments and even mining of minerals (Byford 78). The massive wealth as possessed by the Rothschild family has been a subject of suspicions, speculation and unending doubts about the exact identity of the Rothschild. For instance, while existing ...

The Tanzimat reforms comprised of several reforms that were promulgated in the Ottoman Empire between in the 19th century between 1839 and 1876. The intention of these reforms was to preserve a weakening Empire. The reforms took place under the reign of Sultans Abdulaziz and Abdulmecid. These reforms in the Ottoman Empire had a high influence from European ideals and were aimed at transforming the functioning of the Empire in order to conform to ideals of a modern state (Davison, 2015). Edicts were thus passed to achieve this goal including the 1839 Hatt-ı Şerif of Gülhane – The Noble ...

Introduction

Before the formation of states, the areas were always divided into realms. These were mainly vast lands that would always be formed primarily through the acts of acquisition. In the process of acquiring these new pieces of lands under their control, the emperors would always require that the inhabitants of these areas would always have to conform to their rules and ways of life. These may include issues such as religion, culture and even economic activities. The rise of Islamic empires throughout the world played a significant role when it came to matters of the spread of Islam throughout ...

Lady Macbeth is an interesting character, no matter how she is staged, or how she is read. The changes in the way she reacts – going from a seemingly confident woman who herself urges her husband to shore up his courage in the face of what he has to do, to someone who wavers more and more, until finally she kills herself – are a challenge to stage in a realistic manner. The weird sisters are said to be the three fates which appear in Greek and Roman mythology, though how much they are so is up for debate. There is ...

The voting process in every democratic nation helps its citizens to choose their preferred leaders in a free and fair manner. It acts as a part of their Bill of Rights and helps them shape how they want their country, state, or society to grow. The voting process helps a nation to grow as one through exercising fairness and legibility in all its interactions. Americans enjoy the freedom of voting as long they are citizens of America and have an identity card. However, it was not a similar case in the early 19th century as the constitution, at the ...

In this paper, we will explore the psychological impacts of two human-made disasters. One that happened during the First World War, and the other one is a recent terrorist attack in Paris, in 2015. The Lusitania Disaster was an attack from the German army to a British ship liner coming from New York to Liverpool, UK. The terrorist attack in Paris however was not a war attack, so people were not expecting anything as such. However, it can be argued that we are on a war today, that begun by several attacks of radical Islamic groups against the West. ...

The global Cold War was a significant time for the entire world, as the citizens of every country watched on the edge of their seats to see who would make the next move. Nuclear power sent the world into a frenzy and the aftermath of World War II provided the perfect backdrop for a new global-scale conflict. People were scrambling to diffuse the situation while others waited in fear for the worst-case scenario. The Cold War is known as a time of high tensions, nuclear threats, and depending on where one lived at the time, Communist agendas. The primary ...

Question 1 Response: Institutionalized racism was at its height prior to the Great War - otherwise known as World War I - where both Blacks and women were not given full rights as American citizens. Of course, all that changed when both Black men and American women, from rich and middle class families, decided to put their country first. As for myself, I spent my years in the war with the 93rd Infantry Division, the Blue Helmets, but more specifically, the 369th Infantry Regiment that was also known as the Harlem Hellfighters. If it isn’t obvious from the ...

At the forefront of the causes of the First World War was the growing sense of Nationalism among the European nations as they reacted to the “fallout” of imperialism abroad and social class conflicts at home (WWI and the Interwar Years, Part 1 3-4mins). In other words, each European power was keen to minimize its counterpart’s influence in the colonized territories and within its borders. Subsequently, one of the effects of World War I was the taint it placed on the presentation of the West as the “height of civilization”; in answer, colonized persons began to question the ...

The WWI was perpetuated by several reasons especially one regarding the fallout of European imperialism. Moreover, there were increased social class conflicts around the western world especially that revolving around the social class conflicts when Marxism was rising, and the Russian Revolution took place as well, which established the Soviet Union. A rising sense of Nationalism in Europe also rose from Marxism and the conflict of social class. Changes in the governmental structures also sparked WWI, when fascist and authoritarian governments grew in number. The effects of WWI caused the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire (Burlingham). General disillusionment prevailed. ...

Argumentative Essay

Military innovation contributes to the success of states in war. However, it has been shown in the literature that the U.S. and Britain failed to significantly innovate or revolutionize their military in the interwar period. This paper argues that this failure is primarily rooted in two major factors: anti-militarism attitudes, and a military culture that disregards the usefulness of past military experiences to future wars. During the interwar period, few refuted the importance of mechanized, powered means of transportation and tanks. The debate revolved around whether this technology could be integrated into traditional processes or strategies or whether more ...

As it is known from history, the German Empire was among four Central Powers that fought the Entente during World War I. This war eventually led to a revolution in Germany that caused the demolition of the monarchy and installment of a democratic republican regime. The regime change that immediately followed the armistice of 11 November 1918 was in fact the main reason for a dissonance during peace talks. Entente powers, first of all the United Kingdom, desired to weaken Germany — then the most powerful state in continental Europe — permanently, especially in ...

The Safe Havens of Global Cities In his article, “The West’s Major Cities are a Bulwark Against the Tide of Right-Wing Nationalism,” Ishaan Tharoor writes about the celebration in London of the Battle of Cable Street, which was a protest that had various groups coming together to prevent a group of fascists from marching over eighty years ago (Tharoor). It was a time when there was a dangerous level of hatred and anger directed at the Jewish communities in Europe (Tharoor). Indeed, the events taking place at the time of those original Cable Street protests, occurred in ...

Portrait of War provides a different take on the United States participation in the First World War. As the name suggests it is a collection of a visual depiction of the war, focusing on the American involvement. This unique premise follows the perceptions of 8 U.S. Army Soldier-artists recruited by the military to escort the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) in Europe (Alfier, 2007). Despite only one of them having any military training prior to their involvement, they were recruited as Captains to help them utilize special passes provided by the upper echelon that allowed them access to the front ...

DO YOU SUPPORT OR REFUTE THE ARGUMENT THAT THE PROLONGED AND BLOODY STALEMATE OF WORLD WAR I STEMMED FROM A SLAVISH ADHERENCE TO THE THEORIES PROPOSED BY CLAUSEWITZ? While the theories proposed by Clausewitz remain remarkable, they also caused the prolonged and bloody stalemate of World War 1 from a slavish adherence to them.

World War 1 was characterized by plenty of bloodshed making it correct to say that this was due to the slavish adherence to the proposed theories by Clausewitz.

The theory of Warfare led to World War 1 whereas the theory of Combat steered the War further and prolonged it.

The theory of Warfare brought about a declaration of War between Austria-Hungary and Serbia that was the ...

The Russian Revolution were a series of revolts that happened in Russia is 1917 (Allen, 2003 p. 10). The revolution ultimately caused the Czar Nicolas to be removed from power and his family to be executed. This would lead to the beginning of the Soviet Union. The first revolution happened in March 1917 and was focused on what is now St. Petersburg. The Imperial Parliament took control of the country and formed the Russian Provisional Government Allen, 2003). Czar Nicholas soon stepped down as ruler because he did not think that he had an army large enough to stop ...

Mass conscription refers the compulsory recruitment of the public to military service. In other words, conscription refers to the ability of established authorities to influence and mobilize the armies and the public of conflicting powers to engage in wars with their rivals. The act dates back to the ancient times and it continues to date in some countries. The authorities involved in the conscription also influence the ability of the military to win the wars by forcing a large number of the army to take part in the fights involuntarily. This type of influence has contributed to the outbreak ...

America and the Great War

Nationalism, imperialism and militarism are considered to be the three major causes to have set the stage for the Great War or the World War I (WWI). Nationalism is a strong association, devotion and loyalty to one’s country. It was not specific to a single country as nationalism was prevalent throughout Europe (Hamilton & Herwig, 2003). During the course of the nineteenth century nationalism became stronger. During this period basic literacy had increased which contributed to nationalism. Imperialism is the second major cause of the WWI. Imperialism refers to a country expanding its power and influence using military or ...

Describe what led to the First World War.

As we know, mankind entered the 20th century on a wave of the unprecedented acceleration of socio-economic and, in particular, military and technological progress with accumulated over the previous century, acute and intractable geopolitical contradictions between the leading world powers. All of this led to revolutionary upheavals, and to the First World War, fundamentally changed the dynamics and nature of conflicts resolving between the great countries. The struggle for the redistribution and leadership in the world had never covered several continents at the same time, did not affect the interests of the majority of countries in the world, World ...

Art, architecture, and design are very important clues for historians to figure out what exactly a civilization, culture and society valued. Architecture, in particular, is a very important part of a larger material culture which may be used by historians as clues to figure out what impact these decisions had on the larger culture and the way each society organizes itself. In this sense, it is almost nearly inescapable that each piece of art or building will not in some way or another influence our thinking regarding how each of these societies is organized. This is true everywhere around ...

Art has been an irreplaceable part of humans’ life for as long as mankind has existed. People have built very close connection with art for a while. They have been creating, looking at, criticizing and admiring art all their life. The first and foremost purpose of any artist is not just to capture the eye of the audience, but attempt to communicate an emotion, an idea or some important social theme. Art is something that inspires human beings, something that is able to move them into various fascinating realities as well as into the unexperienced subconscious places, no one ...

Throughout its history as an independent nation, the America has adopted both interventionist and isolationist policies. From its early years, America has largely stayed away from “Old World conflicts” (Office of the Historian par. 1). However, Woodrow Wilson argued for the US intervening in the First World War by mentioning that it would be in the best interest of the country if it became involved in the war since it will help in “maintaining a peaceful world order” (Office of the Historian par. 1). Nevertheless, the negative experiences of the First World War caused many ...

Chapter Reading Questions

Discuss the different approaches of the federal government toward the Plains Indians The different approaches that were taken towards the Plains Indians were (1) concentration, which is reducing the areas of land available to the Plains Indians. This would end with the Plains Indians living on reservations. (2) forced assimilation. The Plains Indians were forced to send their children to schools that indoctrinated them against their own heritage. This was done by forcing them to take the names of white people, punishing them for speaking their language, and making them dress and act like white children. They were also ...

The Slavic people in Herzegovina and Bosnia did no longer wanted to be a part of Austria Hungary. Instead they wanted to be a part of Serbia. In this manner nationalism effected the war. In addition the constant desire for more wealth for Great Britain and the conflicting countries, Imperialism caused the war. Prior to the war some of the Asian countries and Africa were the targets for Europe to control. Of the several causes of World War I the most impactful cause was the perhaps the irreconcilable conflict between the Triple Entente, headed by Great Britain and Central ...

The mass culture of mass production and consumption is referred to as Fordism. As a business model, it has created a culture of making more products in less time. Fordism has benefitted the American industry in the post-World War I era. However, it was not an all-encompassing economic model; it is beneficial in certain economic conditions. Fordism refers to the industrial revolution initiated by Henry Ford, the pioneer of Ford motors. He brought significant changes in the car production and added chapters to the academic books of management on how to be efficient. He recruited people specializing in one ...

Historically, men have always dominated areas that focused on the military. It was normal for a man to be expected to protect women and children and to take part in military activities as men were considered the head of the household and drafted into the army. A man’s physique helped to support the reasoning behind such sexist decisions. Men were large and muscular. They were unlike women as they were considered to be someone that was physically strong. Women, on the other hand, were expected to take on other roles that required them to take care of the ...

Racial tension was one of the imminent issues after the First World War. The Red Summer of 1919 entails the various race riots that took place for approximately five months. The term Red Summer was coined by James Weldon, who was an author and civil rights activist. It is worth noting that the riots took place in several cities in the United States, but the most affected states were Washington, Chicago, as well as Elaine. This period marked tremendous changes for Blacks in the United States. Many people in the affected states died, and higher casualties were reported. The ...

In spite of the fact that World War I happened more than one hundred years ago, there are still many unanswered questions and a lot of controversy around it. The war started after assassination of the duke of Austria-Hungary Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist, and shortly after the conflict between the two states, many other countries, including their colonies, were involved. However, many rulers were assassinated throughout history, and not every time such a huge conflict took place. In the case of World War I, tension had been growing for a long time before the explosion. With that said, ...

The Middle East is a vast region with many countries which are differently endowed with both natural and human capita l resources. The state institution and development of societal status have also evolved differently based on the past experiences of colonial and pre-colonial eras. The Middle East region is known to have suffered economic backwardness dating back to the seventeenth century. The state of economic conditions and social developments of the Middle East countries is quite similar to those of North Africa region countries particularly Egypt. The two regions were highly affected by the ruling of the Ottoman Empire ...

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, ...

According to the “Comments of the German Delegation to the Paris Peace Conference on the Conditions of Peace”, they argued that a number of provisions would damage Germany’s economy. For example, the authors argued that Germany’s enemies were being allowed by the newly-formed League of Nations to determine the amount of monetary reparations that Germany would pay them. In addition, Germany was expected to let its enemies have access to its natural resources, such as rivers, canals, and even other man-made resources such as railroads. Moreover, the authors pointed out that their former relations with older countries ...

At the turn of the 20th century, New York City was a hub for diverse theatre styles, aspiring performers from across the country and around the world. The city was undergoing important changes such as the opening of the subway system to the general public. New York was on the move to greatness. Along with the change it was also the age when American theatre was growing. Different personalities were competing for the audiences’ demand and hence, their drive shaped American theatre. However, a distinct style was not easy to give where most of American musical theatre was influenced ...

Fascism and National Socialism

Political theorists, historians and and scholars have long tried interpreting and defining fascism but the definitions have either been too narrow or too wide as each interpretation of fascism is distinct and based on the ideological and political leanings and thoughts of the scholar or the theorist. According to Roger Griffin, fascism is "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra nationalism". He goes on to say that the fascist ideology has three core components- the myth of rebirth, decadence and populist ultranationalism. Paxton in his book, The ...

The industrial revolution changed the face of American society in a multitude of ways, not least of which was the role of the government in the relationship between businesses and workers. The emancipation of slaves in the aftermath of the Civil War irrevocably altered the way aspects of the economy operated—especially that of the Southern states and of the agricultural sector. From that point clear through to the present, the relationship between employer and employee has been in constant question and flux, with labor unions and government regulations having significant impacts on the overall state of workers’ rights ...

When the history of colonization of Africa is considered it is impossible not to examine it out of the imperialism context. Imperialism lies in extension of political power, which is implemented through obtaining colonies. In the 19th century almost all European countries possessed colonies and competed for conquering more. Africa due to its vast territories, populations and raw materials became a ‘honeypot’ for European competitors. Regarding the driving motivators for colonization of Africa in the second half of the 19th century, Khapoya defines three groups of motives of European countries. One of them is political, connected with domination, extending ...

Application of asymmetrical warfare in solving socio-economic and political grievances is nothing new to humanity. Over different periodic spans, the world has been exposed to some terror, which upon waging an entire war against leads to the emergence of a mutant form of the same, but characteristically unique, trends of terror. Analysts have studied the trends of terror, specifically in the 20th century up to date to come up with the infamous theory: terrorist wave theory. Definitively, the terrorist wave theory details the unique manner in which terrorism has been mutating through periods of time. This paper discusses extensively ...

Q. 1 The preparations by the American forces in anticipation of the Spanish-American war revealed many weaknesses about the US military organization during this time in history. It also showed how unprepared America was for the war. This is notwithstanding the victory that the US registered in the war through the final liberation of Cuba and Philippines. The American civil war had rendered the US Navy weak and lacking in many critical military machines and weapons of war. Most good troops had also been lost in the previous war hence the need by President McKinley to prepare an active ...

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 ‘ ...

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 ...

World War II was the central event of the 20th century. It involved all the major continents of the world. World War II is considered as the most difficult war in the history of humankind as it killed thousands of people. America played a significant role in World War II. To highlight America’s role in the war, the paper discusses the involvement of America in the war, the challenges faced by the government and people during the war, and the issues it faced after the war. World War II cannot only be regarded as the supreme armed forces ...

Of the world’s many disputed regions, perhaps none is as unique as Kosovo. To be sure, depending on one’s national origin, ethnicity, religion, legal-historical perspective or political point of view, especially if you live in or are from southeastern Europe, Kosovo is either an independent nation or it is a province, albeit autonomous province, of the Republic of Serbia. The starting point to these differences in understand about Serbia is most likely 1389 and the Battle of Kosovo. Prior to that event, the region that is now known as Kosovo was under the control of the Serbian ...

English literature

The 19th and early 20th century had to face a reality characterized by social, political and economic issues. Furthermore the World War One dramatically changed the already complex and troubled frame which gave birth to the Modernism. Indeed during the 19th century the traditional Victorian society turned itself into a modern and industrialized society, where cities were growing fast and the old ethical and religious values were rejected. This massive change also involved all the traditional forms of art, literature, architecture, philosophy, science and even all the aspects of the everyday lives. Salient of the Modernism Era is the ...

According to a physics principle, “every action has a corresponding reaction and every cause has an equivalent effect” (Cause and Effect, 2016). In the field of history, the meaning of this principle is that in every historical event, there is an underlying cause. This cause is the root of all subsequent events that follow, considered as the effects or consequences. Some people say that this principle is valid because many events or consequences would not happen if there is no root cause just like attributing all misfortunes on earth to Adam and Eve. In essence, these people believe that ...

Human trafficking is defined as the action of moving an individual or individuals from one geographical area to another without their consent. It need not be across boarders asbelieved by a large percentage of individuals but it can be within the same country (trans-nationally). People are in most instances trafficked due to various reasons but in most instances, they are trafficked in order to be forced into hard labor, be forced into commercial sex workers and at times they may be trafficked in order for their organs to be extracted or further be used as surrogates in their new ‘ ...

In his book “the Origins Of The Second World War In Europe” AJP Taylor makes the argument that the underlying causes of World War II, in contrast to popular sentiment, was the general complexity of political will and international relations at the time, rather than Hitler's dominating influence alongside Fascism and Nazi ideologies. Instead, the various powers, with their individual desires and relational struggles, embarked on the same path which nobody, not even Hitler, had wanted to pursue. Despite the devastation of the Second World War, it is difficult to pin its inception on any one individual. While Hitler ...

There are different points of view on the reasons to begin the Second World War. On this work there will be considered two points, one of them was described by John A. Vasques. The other book to consider was Why Nations Fight by Richard Ned Lebow. According to Vasques, World Wars occur rarely, and their reasons are curious. There are classical reasons for war, for example, territorial conflicts. On the other hand, Lebow insisted in the idea of national significance. This may be delivered through the mass aggression or war But in fact, there were a lot of participants ...

Question 1

The federal government attempted to smooth over problems in the relationship between labor and management during World War 1 by extending the industrial disputes investigation act to war production. Why did labor oppose this action? With the increased strained relation between labor and management during the World War 1, the government saw the extension of IDIA as the inevitable solution, a move that occasioned even much opposition from the labor movement. Much of the contention traces roots to the recent experiences. The experiences among the employees can be traced to the Kaiserian and profiteering principle (Fudge & Tucker, 2015). Both ...

Following the Napoleonic wars, there was a gentlemen’s agreement between both Britain and the French empire to largely stay out of one another’s way. Nevertheless, they still nearly came to blows on a number of occasions during the 19th century. Yet, the British and French Empires gradually came to see one another as potential allies, even if not as close friends. This relationship benefited both powers in very material ways. Both were concerned about the increasingly aggressive nature of Germany and the alliances it was forming, as well as the rising power of Russia under the Czar. ...
