WWI vs. WWII
World War I and World War II are two battles that will haunt Germany and many other countries for years to come. When thinking about World War I, the Great War, my main thought is that it is the cause and reason for World War II occurring. Many believe that Germany was at fault for really just being in the wrong place at the wrong time during WWI. They did not want to clean up their mess of WWI and broke the Peace Treaty of Versailles which was the World’s only hope to ending all wars and creating peace. WWII came around and no one expected what was to come from the evil Germany. Who knew that various lives would be taken and many would not go home to see their families ever again. Everyone in Europe and Africa thought the trench warfare from WWI was bad, but the sprout of WWII would be far more devastating.
Why did WWI occur? One could say the true trigger was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand the prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and his wife, by Serbian Black Hand terrorists in Sarajevo, the largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on June 28, 1914. This empire declared war to Serbia and as Austro-Hungarian empire 's allies were Germany and Italy, they helped them to fight against Serbia. Serbia had allies too, mainly Russia. Russia 's allies were France, United Kingdom, and later England which would be known as the Triple Entente. Russia declared the war on Austro-Hungarian Empire right when they discovered Serbia had been sent to war. Later, the UK declared war in August of the same year. Due to the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, Russia retired from the war. This is when the United States of America declared war on the Triple Alliance, Austrian-Hungarian Empire, Germany, and Italy. Once war was declared on Germany many French and British people jumped with joy due to past rivalries between the countries. Because of the USA declaring war, France and the United Kingdom were able to beat Germany and Austria Hungary.
