Most of its resources were invested in mighty battleships and heavy cruisers, which were a serious headache to the large Royal Navy, but not anywhere near the threat posed by the German submarines. The German surface Navy could not achieve its goal, only die trying, and Admiral Roeder, head of the German Navy, said so himself. Doenitz, head of the German submarine force, pleaded repeatedly for producing more submarines, but his arguments were irresponsibly dismissed by Roeder, who said that Royal Navy claims that it solved the submarine problem with
Russia was naturally seen as the superior military power of the two but they failed to utilise this. Russia needed Port Arthur as a war water port for military and maritime trade all year round. Vladivostok was only operational in the summer months so the Russians relied heavily on Port Arthur. Yet, in January 1905 the Russians were forced to surrender Port Arthur to the Japanese. However, the greatest humiliation came at the battle of Tsushima in May 1905.
Its empire was the largest with the richest industries and strongest navy. The envious Germany soon built up its empire to challenge Britain’s position. Germany struggled and fought to gain more and more power. This fight to preserve their balance of power scared many other countries which helped led into the war. A major cause of WWII was the fact that both Germany and Japan felt that they did not have the amount of power that they deserved.
! After the First World War, unlike some other nations that were prepared to fight another major war, Britain had an aftermath of the war. Britain was struggling with economy as they met the economic depression; they were still on the stage of recovering. Also as the Americans were insisting on maintaining their isolationism, which they were willing to be isolated from the European countries’ conflicts, this eliminated any other possibilities and chance for the British to earn loans. Moreover, as Britain was one of the major power of the WWI, the effects on both of their men and arms were not recovered from the WWI.

Repercussions of Reproductive Technology Throughout history, one of the biggest fears and heart breaking news to be heard as a wife or woman was not being able to conceive a child by natural means. This has been an avoidable and unalterable part of life for many women since the beginning of time. Women long to fulfill their biological purpose of reproduction and nursing of their young ones and those who do not feel an empty pit in their hearts as their maternal heartstrings pull on them. However, during 1970’s, the answer to the curse of sterility was found: artificial insemination through in vitro fertilization. Woman who before could never have children now had the chance to conceive their very own child.
Issues of Women’s Liberation from the Oppression Found in Society and Marriages Sherry Heide ENG 125 Introduction to Literature Instructor: Louise Becker 09 January 2012 Issues of Women’s Liberation from the Oppression Found in Society and Marriages What is said of women suffrage is not always true today in America or other countries, what is the truth, is that it is based largely on the perception of the woman experiencing the suffering. Women throughout time have suffered from oppression in society and in their own marriages. Gender roles are not something we are but instead something we do. It is completely unnatural for women of today to be the money makers, everything to the children (taxi, disciplinarian, etc..),take out etc cook, housekeeper and so on yet still their husbands will is forced upon the entire family instead of taking his place with his wife as partners. Did the verse found in Genesis chapter 3 vs. 16 cause centuries of women's suffrage?
Weimar was established in 1919 to replace the previous imperial government. This Republic was the first real taste of democracy that Germany had ever experienced. A lot of people found it hard to accept, but after the way things used to be, and due to pressure from the Allies, the Weimar Republic was finally established. From the very start, they had to cope with various problems, the main one being hyperinflation. Since Germany was falling behind on their reparations, France sent their troops to the Ruhr, which was a very industrial area for Germany.
(Stevenson, pp.13-17) In other words, Germany was trying to cover too much territory. At the end of 1916, Germany, whose surface fleet had been bottled up since the indecisive battle of Jutland, announced that it would begin unrestricted submarine warfare in an effort to break British control of the seas. In protest, the United States broke off relations with Germany in 1917 and entered the war. (Ferro, pp.112-115) American participation meant that the Allies now had at their command almost unlimited industrial and manpower resources, which were to be decisive in winning the war. It also served from the start to lift Allied morale.
This angered the German public as they thought that the government’s plan would just make living harder if they did increase the taxes. Taking advantage of this, Hitler told the public that the reparations and the Treaty of Versailles was to blame for Germany’s hardship. When America recalled all the loans that they gave Germany, Germany was left in immense debts. This proved Hitler’s point that the reparations and the Treaty of Versailles were wrong. After that the people of Germany began to vote for Hitler because the Weimar government had proved itself useless and Hitler was the only one offering a way out.
