World War 1 And 2 Similarities

Two major historical events that have taken place in history are known as World War 1 and World War 2 in other words The Great War (so H.G. Wells in 1914) and the Second World War. Both wars having a gap of twenty years in which World War 1 lasted from 1914 to 1918 (so H.G. Wells in 1914) and World War 2 went from 1939 to 1945. The war was held in center of Europe and both wars were between two associations. (Stenschke, Christoph 2014 p.99) World War 1 was between central powers and allied powers. (Open University, 2014) World War 2 was between axis powers and on the other hand it was allied powers. World War 1 and the Second World War are two linked wars as World War 2 wouldn’t had started after World War 1 ended. The main link can be seen
One of the main similarities was that both wars were fought between two associations. World War1 was a conflict fought between the central powers Germany, Austria-Hungry Bulgaria and Turkey. (Open University, 2014). On the other hand it was the allied powers which were France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Belgium and from 1917 the US. (Open University, 2014). Second World War was also fought between two associations which were between the axis powers which included countries like Germany, Italy and Japan. On the opposite hand it was allied powers who involved France, Great Britain, the United States and Soviet Union. (Mazzei, Michael. 2015) Unfortunately both wars resulted in several deaths which cannot be exactly defined. It was predicted that World War 1 resulted in ten million individuals died throughout the war and twenty million people got injured. (Allison While 2014, p.244) In World War 2 it was estimated to be a fifty million total deaths and a hundred million people got injured. (Henry, Weisser. 2015) This gives an indication that World War 1 and 2 can be seen as a war that was continued by another
The Treaty Versailles was signed by a European leaders who had a contribution in World War 1. The Treaty Versailles was a way for to end World War 1 (Keleher, Edward P. 2015) and a way for Germany to lose power and the amount of their army. After this signing it could be clearly identified that Germany wasn’t going to hold back about this and that was the reason for the Second World War to begin. After World War 1 Germany was broke and the country wasn’t financially stable. (Keleher, Edward P.2015) There was no one in charge of Germany and other countries were taking advantage of it. This was when Adolf Hitler stepped in to take control of Germany and he declared war in many places such as the holocaust with the Jewish people as well on other countries. Due to the Treaty Versailles that was signed after World War 1 it didn’t benefit Germany as countries in Europe were trying to take advantage of this by taking over Germany. After Hitler taking over Germany the only aim of the country was that Germany wanted to become the most powerful country in Europe. This turned into the chance of seeing Germany into
