Germany deciding to aid Austria- Hungry in its conflict with Serbia suggests that Germany have precipitated war. In 1909, Bethmann-Hollweg was forced in supporting Austria in its dispute with Bosnia despite never having been asked before Austrian Annexation tool place, mainly due to a treaty pledging support. Considering this it could be argues that German support for Austria-Hungry was similar following the Sarajevo murder. It is possible that Bethmann-Hollweg could never have known at the time of the colossal consequences his Blank Cheque was to have. Source W suggests that Bethmann was a ‘sensitive, passive and Fatalistic man’ these claims further support the idea that Germany was dragged in to these political time bombs because of some in capabilities.
They also did not have support from Britain as they also did not want to get involved in Italy’s revolution as Britain would not gain anything from it. Therefor this was a major disadvantage towards Italy as the revolutionaries would only
“Dada was, officially, not a movement, its artists not artists and its art not art.”(Esaak, 2012) It was meant to illicit a reaction such as alarm or contempt. Dadaists used their art to portray their avid opposition to the war and eventually their opposition to what was considered normal. “Abstraction and Expressionism were the main influences on Dada, followed by Cubism and, to a lesser extent, Futurism.”(Esaak, 2012) The goal of Dadaism was to be anything but what art had been prior to the war. It was to be “anti-art”. “Dada had only one rule: Never follow any known rules.” (Esaak, 2012) The idea of Dadaism spread globally and soon artists all over the world were using their “non-art” to provoke reactions.
With only Britain standing in the way of the German empire the stage was set for a long and gruesome battle between the two countries. Hitler thought that the British had no choice but to surrender. Although Winston Churchill opposed appeasement, Winston Churchill asked William king if he could send in some Canadian troops over to Europe to help out in the war. Immediately Canada sent 50 000 troops over to Britain to give the soldiers some help. The war was long and many lives were lost but the Canadians and the British still ended up winning the war.
The Nazi’s held on to power by using some violent and clever tactics, one of theirs was the Reichstag March elections in 1933. Within 24 hours of being appointed chancellor, Hitler called a new Reichstag election. Hitler believed this would pull in more votes and enhance his own status. Violence and Terror dominated the meeting with the Socialists and Communists being regularly broken up by the Nazis. The Nazis used hate and fear to great effect in their elections, Hitler wanted to appeal to the German people so he blamed the prevailing poor economic conditions on the democratic government and the communists.
The rebellious members of Dada never came up with a clear program, and their goals were often ambiguous and sometimes contradictory. While they used art as a means to protest, they also questionedd the very validity of artistic production. So regarding the “Fountain”, this piece fits well with the dada movement. It is definitely not considered beautiful by anyone's standards as it is not intended to be that way. Marcel Duchamp thought that by entirely ignoring the function of an object, it actually creates art.
A third problem with the Constitution according to the Anti-Federalist was that the states would have no power. The first issue the Anti-Federalists were concerned with was the national government having too much power. In the Anti-Federalist Paper No. 11 they address this issue about unrestricted power over commerce should not be given to the national government. The Anti-Federalists were worried that if a national government was in charge of commerce, then the states will not all get what they need and will begin to fail.
Both were also opposed to the Rankean era belief in specialisation in history in fields like art, politics, economics, law, geography and many others. The two used the Annales journal as the major mouthpiece to push forward what they opposed and what they wanted to see among historians in France. Even their historical works before and after the founding of the Annales journal were a testimony to what they opposed and wanted. Yilmaz rightly points out that Bloch and Febvre rejected the narrow emphasis on politics, war, diplomacy or event-oriented history. They wanted historians to grasp more totally and fully the whole dimensions of human reality.
He explained that people would encourage you to fight yet to fight meant to sentence yourself to an unnecessary death. Owen states war is not worth it and meaningless. He claims to have entered the army with high hopes of serving his country and receiving the glory that was always talked about, but the reality of war was fundamentally different because instead of the celebration and praise he thought he would receive, he only got nightmares and regrets. The title of the poem means “sweet and fitting it is,” and Owen finishes the poem by writing the tile is, in fact, a lie. Owen’s poem is known for its alluring presentation of horrific imagery and
An Executive Summary of the Strengths and Weaknesses of the League of Nations America came into World War 1 in 1917. The country and their president- Woodrow Wilson were horrified as to the harshness of the Treaty of Versailles towards the Germans. They knew that if the Treaty was this harsh then it would it would be more than likely if not definitely create a World War 2. The only way to afford this was to create an international league whose only purposes were to maintain world peace and settle any arguments that occur internationally. The League at the time was very powerful, because they had the main European powers- England and France, along with many more countries internationally to support.
