World War One was a time of death, destruction and was in general a conflict of monumental proportions. However, as the cliché goes, there is a silver lining to every storm cloud. In the case of the Great War, the silver lining refers to the great leaps forward made in women's empowerment and involvement in society because of the advent of the war, which forced them into positions previously never considered by either gender. World War One provided women with the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to a male-dominated society that females were there for more than simply domestic chores, and this proved to be beneficial for both women and men alike. Women became involved in the army on the frontlines, were nurses and medical aids, played instrumental roles in keeping their nations' transport systems running, began to work in factories and buoyed the economy, and participated in significant organisations such as the Women's Land Army. Because of World War One, women became much more important in society and women's empowerment reached whole new levels.…
In the beginning of the 1900s, nationalism, industrialism, and imperialism were alive and well in Europe. These three things gave rise to World War I, The Great War, The War to End All Wars, and all of its atrocities, which changed the world forever.

Treaty of Versailles. The demands by the Allies for Germany accepting responsibility for causing the war (war guilt clause) and in particular France’s attempt to destroy Germany (economically and territorially) rather than follow the fairer Wilson’s ’14 Points’ agreed by Germany at the armistice paved the way for discontentment, social unrest and eventually created a political vacuum filled by right wing extremists. The fact that Germany was neither pacified or conciliated nor permanently weakened inevitably proved to be a contributing factor to the outbreak of World War 2.…
After World War I, America went under many social changes that sculpted American society today. There were both short-term and long-term social effects of World War I. Short-term effects were peace between countries, the decrease of population, and riots. World War I ended in November 1918 and it was said to be “the war to end all wars.” This meant that peace would last between each country for very long. This idea of everlasting peace ended when World War II began only twenty years later. Also population decrease was only a problem for a short time. During World War I, many lives were lost in the war but even more lives were lost because of the influenza epidemic. But only a short period after the war the American population booms back up from the 1920s to the 1930s.…
