When the year 1973 came around‚ the most powerful economic and military force America‚ were being forced to come to terms with the fact that they had suffered defeat in their war in Vietnam.

Was Germany To Blame For The Start Of The First World War? I believe that Germany was to blame for the start of world war 1‚ although other countries were partially to blame. Germany was involved in most events building up to the war and it was one of the first countries to declare war on another country.

The role of the French in the Indo-Chinese war could be characterized as a desperate attempt to maintain control over their colonies in Asia. For the uninitiated‚ in the aftermath of the Second World War‚ the majority of European powers‚ which were inclusive of Britain and Germany‚ had relinquished their colonies‚ deeming them as distracting burdens. On the contrary‚ the French were still adamant that the possession of colonies would give the nation much desired power and status. From December 19

Germany was forced to take full responsibility for the devastating war and had to pay immense reparations for it. In response‚ the entire country took a turn for the worst‚ with their economy in shambles‚ significant territorial losses‚ and their military a mere fraction of its original size. Germans felt they had been mistreated and ignored by the rest of the world‚ as well as by their new government

The event that sparked the outbreak of World War I is the simple but complex assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The archduke’s wife was also killed with him on that day in 1914. One might wonder how a Serbian nationalist from Sarajevo‚ Bosnia known as Princip was even able to get his hands on archduke. Ferdinand and his wife were celebrating their anniversary and they decided to tour the city of Sarajevo‚the capital of Bosnia. While visiting they were in an open care with little security
