This further promotes the global normalisation of terrorism and the “War on terror”. Furthermore, Blair says “just a choice; defeat it or be defeated it”. These charged words and many more are the backbone to Blair’s address to the nation.
Typically, when one thinks of Great War, they think of extensive fighting in Europe but in reality the Great War had numerous battles in the colonized states where there were clashes between Triple Alliance and the Allies. Particularly, in Africa and in Ottoman empire where the clashes would lead to hundreds and thousands of fatal deaths and injuries. The Great War brought devastation and thousands of losses to both Ottomans and the Africans and caused a severe decline in economies but the Great War brought an end to Ottoman empire however Africa would still remain colonized. Furthermore, Since thousands of lives were constantly being lost so their was shortage of men so Great Britain and France brought soldiers from their colonies in Africa to fight for them in Europe. In addition, the war caused severe damage to economy since their were less men to work for in the fields and more Raw material was needed for the War.
The European continent was going through a period of upheaval as famine, disease and war ravaged the population. During such trying times you would expect people to turn to their faith and church all the more. However during this time the Catholic Church was to a large extent going through its own crisis. Starting with the conflict between Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip IV of France in 1296 that launched a period of papal uncertainty that lasted well into the 15th century. This uncertainty at the head of the church created divisions in Christendom that would last for a long time, divisions that would sow the seeds of the reformation, increase strength of national churches and lead the way to the creation of The Church of England.
So during the Dreyfus Affair of late 1800's, anti-Semitism was on the rise already. The framing of Dreyfus is an example of political corruption led by the grievous of racism. This event most notably drew a line across the political and social platform of France, while also that of Western Europe at the time. The split consisted of the people who sided with Dreyfus versus those who were called anti-Dreyfusards consisting mostly of anti-Semites. As I would argue the Dreyfus affair was a major event in the development of anti-Semitism because of its political ramifications that created more anti-Semites.
Manchester DBQ Throughout history, major revolutions have created conflicts in modernizing cities by rapid population growth and other contributors. Over the course of the nineteenth century, the growth of Manchester raised concerns about its suffering population and the unclean city, but it also spread increasing industry across Europe; all of which gained reactions of pity, rage, and prosperity. Manchester’s population suffered both from poor labor conditions and lack of rights, which drove them to pursue what they deserve with rage. An uncleanly city created a rampant increase in disease and poverty in Manchester bringing a need of peed. Although Manchester grew in poverty and wrath, the fruits of its industry continued to bring prosperity to the wealthy both in the city and around the globe.
The main causes of the war were the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, militarism, imperialism, Morocco 1904, Bosnia 1908 and the Balkan Wars. World War I started because of the contests between the powers of Europe and the loathing between the alliances. All countries were putting pressure on each other. When countries joined alliances the opponent would get worried and would then get others to join. This was the tinder for the War.

What were the problems facing Germany in late 1918 and 1919? Germany faced numerous problems, every one varying in extremity. The loss of the war was naturally a large problem which created many spin-off issues, such as an unpleasant living environment, a worsening economy and naturally the deflation of the German peoples pride and spirit, due to propaganda they were fed with news that their army was excelling in the war, when in reality the exact opposite was occurring.

Germanys list of problems at this time was only growing.

Life before the Renaissance (pre 1350) was a very unpleasant time.
