World War 1 World War 1 began between the years of 1914 and 1918. World War 1 disappointed the European Continent putting France, Russia, and the United Kingdom against Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. During this disagreement and war it spread through and into the Colonies of European empires. The war caused major destruction and many people in the world was stated to revise their opinion that they may have against Europe and how they was going to make Europe the center of progress and enlightenment. World War 1 there was a lot of fighting and a lot of people going against each other for their own beliefs and what they may have wanted that they couldn’t get so they had to fight in order to get what they want.
The puritans The Pequot War The Mystic massacre In chapter two of our book, I was shocked that there was only a brief paragraph on the Pequot War (1634-1638). Many history buffs consider the Mystic massacre genocide as others do not. I believe it was genocide and there should have been more explanation about the escalating tensions between the Pequot and Puritans in the book. This was a giant event in American History as “The destruction of one of the region’s most powerful Indian groups not only opened the Connecticut River valley to rapid white settlement but also persuaded other Indians that the newcomers possessed a power that could not be resisted”(pg. 78).
It was the first war ever to be broadcast on television, Americans were able to witness exactly what the soldiers were experiencing.. A major affect of the war was the division it caused among US citizens. America hadn’t been so divided since Civil War. This war would have lasting effects on the United States. The conflict in Vietnam started way before the US became directly involved. Indochina
The war of movement until November 1914 changed to a war of attrition at the Battle of Ypres. This meant the war was a stalemate and would not be ended quickly or even by Christmas. The scale of the war was a major factor in determining how long it lasted. It was the first global war, something never seen before and became known as the Great War or, to later generations World War 1. The number of troops mobilised was larger than had ever been seen in conflicts before.
Its vast lands with many rivers served as good foundations for future settlement, and things were looking good. It wasn’t until around 1747 that they started having major problems. British colonists were very eager to move into the Ohio valley, and the formation of the Ohio Company of Virginia helped them do this. This worried France so they set up many forts to protect their region. This first skirmish between these two sides happened in 1755, when a young officer by the name of George Washington and his militia tried to take down one of the French’s main forts, Duquesne.
England expanded the war effort and found alliances to help in the war and put themselves in debt trying to beat the French. Quebec and Montreal fall by 1757 and France was finally expelled from Canada after losing to England and their allies. The French only retained Sugar Island in the end. England got the title to Canada and all the
Throughout history, mankind has waged war against each other various reasons. These reasons are often times proven to be trivial and superfluous thus making wars preventable. The American civil war was a war that was inevitable because of key events leading up to the war divided the country to the point where it made war unpreventable. The first issue that made the civil war unavoidable was the Declaration of Independence (cite). The writer of the Declaration was Thomas Jefferson who wrote it based off the ideals of the enlightenment period.
What was the impact of WWI on the Home Front of participating nations? World War I had, like every war, disastrous impact on every sphere of life. But WWI is not any ‘usual’ war; it is the first general conflict, first “total war” (conflict of unlimited range, in which a belligerent engages in a total mobilization of all available resources: human, industrial, agricultural, military, natural, technological, with the aim to totally destroy opponents resistance; in this type of war, there is no precise differentiation between soldiers and civilians than in other conflicts, as nearly everyone can be considered to be part of their own country’s war effort ) on world level, in the history of humankind. Because the WWI is total war, it had huge effect on Home Front. Home front is defined as a term commonly used to describe the civilian population of the nation at war as an active support system of its military (not only mobilization of soldiers, but civilians too).
The Vietnam War was one of America’s longest and most controversial conflicts in history and exacted more than three million fatalities, both civilian and military. The United States government was involved in the war as a means to prevent a communist takeover of not only South Vietnam, but to stop the influence from reaching other nations and thus causing a “domino effect” throughout the world. The Vietnam War also garnered one of the biggest anti-war movements in history; despite the best laid intentions of the U.S. government many people protested U.S. involvement and asked for peace between all countries. The political outcries to stop the war could not contain the military’s strategies to defeat the opponent; this led to a war that spanned almost twenty years, from 1959 to 1977 and went through four different presidents and the assassination of one of them.

War - the pros and cons - is it necessary? It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets. Voltaire War is devastating and tragic. It affects the daily lives of the people of the countries involved in the war. It affects the economy of each country that is involved and it can causes long-term affects on the soldiers involved in the actual fighting.
