On August 4th 1914‚ Great Britain declared war on Germany. “When Britain is at war‚ Canada is at war‚” said Prime Minister of Canada Sir Wilfred Laurier in 1910.[1] His comments reflected the view of most Canadians at the time; an identity firmly planted in British sovereignty. Canadians did their part and made their contribution initially consisting of one division‚ later followed by three more‚ creating the first Canadian Corps.

How significant was the First World War in bringing about the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II in March 1917? The abdication of the Tsar in 1917 is still talked about today; the reasons are still disputed to this day. There are three main views; the optimist view which states that Russia was on the right path but the First World War slipped Russia into revolution. This view is supported by A.Gerschenkron who says‚ “That in the absence of war‚ Russia could have continued in the road of progressive

The World War I was referred as the first “Total War” from historians and to others the “Great War”. The World War I was very tragic because of countries that were involved in the War. During this time Woodrow Wilson was the President‚ and he was the 28th President in the United States. Wilson wanted to keep the United States neutral during the World War I. This essay will explain why Wilson abandoned his policy of neutrality and justify American involvement in a European conflict. During

Do I Look Like Public Enemy Number One? Have you ever felt like someone was judging you because of your ethnicity‚ gender‚ school district you attend and/or cultural group? They put my high school friends and peers in a category of being a thug‚ teen parent‚ academic failure and more. The list goes on with the categories we are put in as students of McCaskey High School of the SDoL. There have been times where I was “guilty by association” not because I wanted to be‚ but because of where I attend

For America‚ the War of 1812 was justified. Clearly there were sufficient reasons for America to declare war with Great Britain. Time after time the British violated American rights and freedoms. Acts such as impressments‚ the attack on the USS Chesapeake‚ the violation of American neutral rights and waters‚ blockades on U.S. ports‚ and the ignoring of stipulations of Jay’s Treaty and their Treaty of Paris all imposed threats on America. To prevent further altercation‚ America tried to solve the

War is expensive. When World War One was over‚ Germany had sunk over 37 billion US dollars (estimated) . Only 6% of this was paid for by taxes ; borrowing covered the rest. This act of borrowing put Germany in a precarious spot before the war was even underway. By the time the war was over‚ Germany was even worse off. Not only was their national debt at record highs‚ but also they were forced to pay immense war reparations‚ and national pride was at an all time low. Together‚ this caused the perfect

World War I and its Effect on International Relations[1] It is a tragedy when one person dies. When 10 million die…well‚ the only thing we can call it is World War I. Now‚ going to war is justified if it is to end slavery or stop Hitler. It’s even understandable to go to war over a stolen bucket (which has happened). But to fight for no reason is the height of foolishness. Ironically‚ World War I was a product of the Napoleonic Wars‚ which killed a generation of young men. After Napoleon was

and Diplomacy Responsible for World War I? I don’t think that German Militarism and Diplomacy was responsible for World War I. I think that every country that was involved played a part in the start of World War I. Although Germany did play a role in the start of World War I‚ you can’t solely blame them. As disagreements occurred‚ countries banned together and formed the great powers. On page 138 it states‚ “Germany and her allies were held accountable for the war and all concomitant damages.” Yes
