WW1 was also the reason for

    After World War I, European countries were devastated. Europeans were disappointed in their old governments; they felt that they had failed them by causing the war and catapulting them into a depression. Destroyed, they turned away from democratic governments and supported communism and fascism simply to avoid democracy. Others were intellectually lost and desperate for leadership. The government encouraged the people’s support by instilling irrational fears amongst their citizens and promising to free them from it. Once the governments had gained support, people began to see the power that their authoritarian governments had gained. Their desire to have a strong and united nation took control and the motivation to support an authoritarian…

    World War I, also known as the Great War, was a global war centered around Europe. The first four years of “total war” that constituted World War I (1914-1918) changed the lives of not only the men who fought as soldiers, but the people who remained at home. Some effects of the Great War on the European home fronts during the first course of the war were nationalistic feelings, working women, dwindling food supplies, and the rise of socialism.…

    Though World War I was a gruesome war indeed, in America we tend to focus on World War II. This may be due, in part, to the fact that World War II was the direct consequence and conclusion of the first world war. The first reason that World War I lead to the second was the massive remunerations placed on Germany. It's people were starving in the streets creating the perfect conditions for the rise of a dictatorial regime. The second is again due to the unfair nature of the peace terms. Though it is little known in America, many Germans believed that they could have, if not won the war, at least gotten a better deal by continuing to fight. This led to a great resentment in its proud people, and a distrust in the agencies in power, again, creating perfect conditions for a autocratic, warlike regime. In addition, the british attempts to undermine the new Russian government in this time period led to an increased distrust of all western/capitalist powers, perhaps allowing Hitler to be more bold his attacks, without fear of Russian response. In the end, the eastern government's inability to adapt to the new world presented during World War I cause a drastic increase in the likelihood of a…

    World War 1 was one of the most deadly wars ever recorded in the history of wars. The war began July 28, 1914. In this war two unions or two sides where formed. One team had the Allies which included the following countries: Britain, France, Russia, Italy and the United States. The other team was called the Central Power, which included the following countries: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria.

For example Brittan owned ¼ of the world countries like Canada, India, Ceylon, Burma, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, several Pacific and Caribbean Islands, South Africa, Rhodesia, Egypt and other parts of Africa. But the United States didn’t enter this war till the third year.…

    Europe experienced an era of rivalries by great powers aimed at establishing vast empires, during the century and the first half of the 18th century. The struggle by the colonial territories played a prominent part in the world's political scene, especially in Europe. By the latter part of the century such events as the Great French Revolution (1789), Napoleon's defeat in Egypt (1789) and in Russia (1812), and the advancement of a Pan European move caused perceptible changes in Europe. Notably, European countries established new borders, based on the language of the inhabitants, as a result of the Vienna Conference in 1815. The Europeans hardly knew other inhabitants of the world. Whose population was estimated at 900 million at the…

    One of the instances of indirect political impact of WWI was the steadfastly developed idea of ‘unity' behind ones government, borne by feelings of patriotism. This mainly existed at the very beginning of war, for example in France, the famous ‘Union Sacre' formed in around 1914 is an illustration of where socialist ideas were put side in favour of nationalist feelings. Similarly in Germany ‘Burgfrieden' pursued contamination socialism at the time. This enthusiasm could also be observed in Russia in early 1914, where everyone united behind the Tsar with constant demonstrations carrying his portraits. Such action, even from his opponents, again proves the great eagerness of nations to defeat the enemy and stresses a very new enhancement of nationalism above other political ideas throughout Europe. This accordingly strengthened the governments, providing them with an optimistic thrust as an initial political impact of WWI.…
