This created some issues as the Jews that were living in Palestine, the preferred home for both Arabs and Jews; it meant that the country would be under direct Arab rule. The Sykes-Picot Agreement of October 1916 was a secret agreement between Great Britain, France and Russia, which divided up the conquered Ottoman Empire. When Russia pulled out of WW1, due to the Bolshevik communist government rising to power, they were removed from the agreement. This agreement completely contradicted the Arab-favouring
The French saw Nasser as encouraging the Algerians to intensify their war against France (Rogan, p.298). By 1970 Nasser had overplayed his hand in trying to build a Pan-Arab hegemony under himself and everything he had built came crumbling down. One important event that weakened the momentum of Pan-Arab nationalism was Iraq`s decision to stay out of the United Arab Republic formed by Egypt and Syria. Without the excitement and power that the addition of Iraq might have brought to the United Arab Republic, Egypt and Syria were left to the tedious job of making their hybrid state work (Rogan p.317). A not so easy job after all.
Source 17 supports this by saying, ‘the wishes and needs of the Muslim community would have to be taken into account in any settlement.’ The source shows a discussion between Linlithgow and Jinnah, concerning arrangements for the wartime administration. The divide between Congress and the Muslim league is essentially what led to the August Offer, and the war meant that the Hindus and the Muslims could certainly not work out some sort of rapprochement, which is what source 15 is arguing. In the source there are elements within national life which are described as ‘large and powerful,’ which is telling us that the Viceroy, and the British most likely
From the late fourth century, the Church had consciously set out to destroy all knowledge that could distract people from devotion to god, thus ushering in the dark ages. Thus most important philosophical, medical, mathematical and scientific knowledge built up by the ancient Greeks and Romans had been lost to Europe forever. Some of the ancient Europe text had been retained by the arabs, who valued knowledge and expanded greatly on what had been preserved. Although Europe had been exposednto Islamic culture for centuries through contacts in Spain and Siciliy, much more Islamic thought was transferred to the west during the crusades. The need to raise, transport and supply large armies led to growth in trade throughout Europe.
Europe, Asia, and the South Pacific all receive pieces about the world altering Egyptian revolution that helped spark the Arab Spring, a wave of ancient and supressive governements being overthrown by their people in favor of more democratic governements. Meanwhile, Time decided to put an article about how anxiety is supposedly good for people on the cover. Granted both cover articles were included in the magazines, that does not change how vast of a difference there is between cover pages. Presenting these different cover pages to an uninformed person would surely raise the question: are Americans really so egocentric
In this question I am going to answer the question, ‘explain why each of the ‘big 3’ was dissatisfied with the treaty of Versailles’. The treaty was a formal compromise. It was written by David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson to punish Germany for the damage to Versailles in France. David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau and woodrow wilson was called the big three because they’re the main people in charge of creating the treaty of Versailles. Italy is part of the big three but was not that important because Italy's experience in World War One was disastrous and ended with the insult of her 'reward' at the Versailles Settlement in 1919.
Hitler instead blamed many others, mainly the Wemiar and the Jews, this also gained popularity with the people of Germany. The treaty of Versailles also stipulated that Germany must demiliterize, resulting in alot of soliders without jobs. With large unemployment people are more likely to take more radical views as they get more desperate, Hitler used this to his advantage. The treaty of Versailles was a major cause to Hitlers rise to power. Another major cause that resulted in Hitlers rise to power was the Weimar democracy.
Britain and France gave Germany the Rhineland, the Sudetenland and they were allowed to have an Anschluss with Austria. They also let Germany re-arm and get powerful. Appeasement led to the Munich Agreement in 1938. The Munich Agreement was the treaty that Stalin and Hitler signed to avoid war between each other. Stalin signed this treaty because Britain and France didn’t
It was agreed on that France was not punished militarily or economically. Prince Klemens von Metternich, Austrian’s foreign minister, sought to offset French strength with a balance of power leading to territorial gains by most of the continental European powers. In addition, Austria, Russia and Prussia formed the “Holy Alliance” to actively confront the revolutionary and nationalist energies that the French Revolution had unleashed. The Alliance repressed republican and nationalist ideas in universities and the press; they defeated liberal revolutions in Spain and Italy. They also attempted to meet the potential challenge posed by subversive ideas.
The Treaty of Versailles was a peace settlement between Germany and the allies (France, Britain & USA) after World War 1. The treaty was made in June 1919 by all the nations involved apart from Germany. The French in particularly wanted a peace which would weaken Germany so much they could not attack France in the future. German government had the choice to sign the treaty, thus putting an end to the war by them officially surrendering or have their country occupied by allied troops. They had little choice but to surrender and accept the terms of the treaty no matter how harsh they were going to be.
