During this time the British pushed up through the Arabian Peninsula with T.E Lawrence helping to organise the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Russia withdrew from the war after signing a treaty with Germany. This originally caused problems for the allies and the central powers were believed to win before the arrival of the Americans resulted in Germany being overpowered. This causing the call for an armistice in which the central powers signed the treaty of Versailles and agreed to pay for the damages that they had caused. The war left an entire generation of people physically and mentally disabled and damaged.
America, despite its efforts, could not remain neutral and was forced to enter World War 1. Germany did not respect America’s decision to stay neutral and purposely sunk their ships in the British Isles. They sent the Zimmerman Telegram uniting other countries against America. Lastly, they blockaded British ports and prevented American trade with France and GB. Over 100,000 Americans died during WW1, but were rewarded with patriotism, an Allie victory and trade which once again
The British blockade kept all trades away from the Germans, including food (Ghost Liners 124).Yet, when the Germans retaliate, the Americans hate them for it. The Germans received blame for a crime that followed the rules of war blockades. America shames the Germans for killing civilians warned of the possible danger. Finally, the Lusitania allowed for the British to win in a win-win situation that their government
However, Germany was not the only country that blockaded US ships. Great Britain also blockaded some US ships, just not to the extent of the Germans. True, the Germans did sink the RMS Lusitania, but that ship not only carried civilians, but also some weaponry. And the declaration of war against Germany came two years later after the sinking of this ship. If America was truly angry about Germany harming innocent civilians, why did not the declaration of war follow the sinking of the Lusitania immediately?
The U.S. Navy was already attacking German boats. Hitler despised President Roosevelt because he had attacked his Nazi ideology in the past. Hitler believed that Japan was a strong power and that once they took over the United States, it would help Germany take over Russia. Because of these ideas from Hitler, Germany declared war against the United States. Hitler argued that the failure of the New Deal was the cause of the war.
I don’t know how I would feel about an unwanted entity in my country. I would hate them, I suppose. Do as much as I can to throw them out of France*. But I am certain if such a situation arose with the Germans, the British would launch themselves into protecting *France*. If *France* is taken, Lord knows what the rest of the continent is going to suffer.
The first documentation about their intention to exterminate the Jews appears in the 1942 Wannsee conference, when Germany faced a difficult situation in the Soviet Union. This illustrates that the Nazis had decided on the complete eradication of the Jews as the war became increasingly difficult. The extreme anti-Semitism displayed by Hitler in his speeches and comments and Nazi propaganda has been used to support the belief that the Nazis had decided on extermination as soon as they gained power. However, Hitler was known to exaggerate in his speeches to the extremist audiences, with remarks such “As soon as I have power, I shall have gallows after gallows erected… Then the Jews will be hanged one after another, and they will stay hanging until they stink”. Clearly, the method mentioned is unfeasible and this had the role of causing a sensation.
He knows Caesar was not a trustworthy leader but he deserves to be noticed for his great intentions, Antony wants the Romans to feel mournful towards Caesar. Antony yields Caesar’s letter “it will inflame you, it will make you mad” (9). Caesar left a will before he was murdered. Antony was not ready to read
The American entry into WW1 grew out of the navel conflict between Germany and Great Britain. The Germans were using submarine warfare to cripple the British naval forces and on May 7, 1915, more than a hundred Americans were killed during a German strike on the British ship Lusitania. Because of this, the German government suspended unrestricted submarine warfare in September 1915. German naval officers later convinced the German government to let them return to submarine warfare. The return of this led to the U.S. entering the war on April 6, 1917.
