    Was the Assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand That Important?

    To begin with, one would have to look at the various factors that led to souring in relations between countries, for example, “Weltpolitik”. Germany was a new country, and had industrialized pretty quickly. Its nationalism was growing which led its imperialistic attitude. Thus it had ditched “realpolitik” and cast its eyes on the rest of the world. Germany did not “want to place anyone in the shadow,” but still have “a place under the sun.” Britain and other leading powers did not want Germany to have an empire, because they were scared it would make Germany even more powerful. Germany accused them of double standards and led to it feeling resentful to the other countries.…

    Ww2 Collaboration Analysis

    An example of collaboration with the Germans was the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact. Under this 1939 pact the two nations agreed not to attack the other if it were to be in war another country, regardless of who started it. The treaty essentially bought time for both leaders as it allowed them to get what they want without the other interfering. During the first two years of World War II while the Soviets and Nazis were collaborating with each other (before Hitler’s invasion of the SU) the territory of what is now Poland and Ukraine was invaded and split between the two…

    Marshallism In Germany

    Two nations arose from the ashes of the Third Reich, West Germany, the BDR, occupied by the Western members of the Allied powers, and East Germany, the GDR, occupied by the Soviet Union. As a result of conflicting ideals between East and West, the two Germany’s would develop separately until their eventual reunification at the end of the 20th century. It is an indisputable fact that German culture was forever changed as a result of the outcome of World War II, and the horrors perpetrated by Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. From the moment of surrender onwards, the culture of Germany would begin to be defined by the occupiers of Germany. In West Germany, this influence was spear-headed by American implementation of the Marshall Plan. While the Marshall…

    To What Extent Did Willy Brandt's "Ostpolitik" Change Relations Between East and West Germany?

    The split between East and West Germany after World War Two resulted in a tumultuous and tense period of German history. Germans saw the construction of the Berlin Wall, economic boom in the West, dictatorship in the East and in this time the two zones became almost irreversibly divided. Soviet influence in the Eastern zone coupled with US control in the West meant a delicate state of affairs between them. The years of the Berlin Wall made relations between the GDR in the East and the FRG in the West particularly frosty. However, the work of Willy Brandt’s and his policy of “Ostpolitik” took great steps toward bridging the gap and it can be argued that Ostpolitik caused much change in East-West relations.…

    Ib History Hl Paper 3 (Germany, Bismarck, Prussia)

    BISMARCK Analyze Bismarck’s impact on Germany between 1871 and 1890. Compare and contrast Bismarck’s policies towards Austria and France between 1862 and 1871. “ Bismarcks policies both at home and abroad, between the years 1871 and 1890, merely ’ stored up problems for the future, both for Germany and Europe.”To what extent do you agree with this verdict? Assess the aims and achievements of Bismarcks foreign and domestic policies between 1871 ’ and 1890. Analyse the successes and failures of Bismarck’s domestic policies between 1871 and 1890. “ A period of consolidation at home and abroad.”To what extent does this statement explain Bismarcks policies between 1871 and 1890? ’ In 1862 Bismarck said: “The great questions of the day will not be settled by speeches and majority decisions.” What were “the great questions of the day” for Bismarck, and how did he settle them up to 1871? “Bismarck pursued a successful foreign policy between 1871 and 1890, but was often defeated on domestic issues.” To what extent do you agree with this statement? How successful was Bismarck as Chancellor in his foreign policies between 1862 and 1890? To what extent were Bismarck’s difficulties inside Germany between 1871 and 1890 caused by his own views and policies?
