1: World war one was sparked by the assignation of archduke Francis Ferdinand. The political objective of the assassination was to break Austria- Hungary’s south- Slav provinces off so they could be combined into a great Serbia. Both sides of the group believed it would be a quick war of many resources.…
The immediate cause of WW1 was the assassination of Francis Ferdinand, the archduke of Austria and his wife on June 28, 1914. This occurred while the couple was touring the streets of Bosnian capital, Sarajevo. Gavrilo Princip, was the assassin and a Serbian student affiliated with the Slav terrorist group known as the ‘Black Hand’ secret society. The “Black Hand” wanted to assassinate him because he wanted to convert the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy into a Triple Monarchy. It has been said that some of the Serbian cabinet members knew about the assignation plan and could have stopped it but chose not to. Austrians suspected that Serbia, an independent country and rival of Austria-Hungry, was behind the killing. Because of this, it has been…
The first essay G.I Joe: Fighting for Home by John Morton Blum and the second essay American Liberals: Fighting for a Better World by Alan Brinkley both 'look at the experience of the war from different vantage points: that of the soldier fighting for his own elemental survival as well as for his country, and that of the society back home.”…

One of the world’s most devastating and history-changing wars was caused by the assassination of Austria-Hungary’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He was next in line for the throne to govern over the Austria-Hungary empire in the beginning of the 20th century, and he was rising at a very dangerous and tense time. In the early 1900s, Austria-Hungary was in a stressful conflict with the country of Serbia. The Serbians wanted the land of Bosnia, in which the Austria-Hungarian empire had annexed into their country, and Serbia wanted to unite all of the Serb ethnic groups to form a country known as “Greater Serbia,” (Bodden 19). They wanted to send a message to Austria-Hungary, and they wanted to show that they meant business. So, the Serbian government…

Devotion from the person to the ambition of their nation is a cause of how the war began. Nationalism within a country so strong, that it causes the collapse of the peace, or the fire to the gunpowder. When royalty is greeted in public, it should be with open arms, warm spirits, and hope of a new beginning. Though, with the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, of Austria, this statement becomes a spurious claim. The trusting gesture of Franz to the people he would have soon ruled, soon became the death of him. The Congress of Berlin in 1878 Austria-Hungary had been given the right to administer Bosnia and Herzegovina on the western border of Serbia. Thousands of Slavs lived in that area, but in 1908, Austria-Hungary annexed these ideas outright, which infuriated the Serbs, who hoped to absorb all the Slavs into their nation. Serbia may have been small and insignificant to Austria-Hungary; however, the one small…
World War II was a global conflict that involved many great powers. Dictators arose in countries that were dissatisfied with the results of World War II. Japan, Italy, and Germany took aggressive action and were the major axis powers. Neither the League of Nations nor democratic countries were able to stop them. The policy of appeasement was a major factor on why the axis powers made it so far in the war effort.…
Aircraft were used for reconnaissance, as fighters, bombers and ground-support, and each role was advanced considerably. Innovation included airlift (the capability to quickly move limited high-priority supplies, equipment and personnel);[359] and of strategic bombing (the bombing of civilian areas to destroy industry and morale).[360] Anti-aircraft weaponry also advanced, including defences such as radar and surface-to-air artillery, such as the German 88 mm gun. The use of the jet aircraft was pioneered and, though late introduction meant it had little impact, it led to jets becoming standard in worldwide air forces.[361]…
After the constitution was adopted by all of the states in 1789, uniting the states into one nation, differences between the states had been worked out through compromises. For more than 30 years arguments between the North and South had been growing. By 1861 these differences between the Northern states and the Southern states had become so great that compromise would no longer work. Thus, a conflict started within our nation that was called the civil war (1861-1865). The American Civil War was a series of political, cultural, and economic differences within the nation that when clashed, lead to a four-year period of hostility and instability. Although most media portrays slavery as the main cause of the civil war, it was really an economic competition within the two sections that created Northern determination to achieve its abolition, and Southern perseverance to maintain its institution. It is safe to say that the need for slavery was a product of the Southern plantation economy, thus, it is then safe to say that slavery was the result of an economic rivalry that tore the two regions apart, and incited the final flame of the Civil war. After reviewing the distinct economic systems by which each of the sections lived by, it can be better understood how slavery was not the direct cause of the conflict, but rather the most intense aftermath that overwhelmed, and broke apart the country.…
The Civil War was a time of great social and political upheaval. It was also a time of great technological change. Inventors and military men devised new types of weapons, such as the repeating rifle and the submarine, that forever changed the way that wars were fought. Even more important were the technologies that did not specifically have to do with the war, like the railroad and the telegraph. Innovations like these did not just change the way people fought wars--they also changed the way people lived514e969482da0…

Germany then stepped in to defend its ally Austria-Hungary (an alliance known as the Central Powers), while France honored its treaty of alliance with Russia. Great Britain, angered by the German Army's invasion of neutral Belgium on its way to attack France and fearing the consequences of a powerful German state ruling continental Europe, joined Russia and France (a coalition that became known as the Allied Powers). By 1915, Italy had joined the Allied Powers, Turkey had joined the Central Powers, and the smaller countries of Eastern Europe had…
