    Causes of WWI (Old regents DBQ).

    Wars are large and complicated affairs. The first word war was the product of many, many things. Although the war officially began on July 28th, 1914, it had been building up for a while. The beginning of the war was much like a domino affect. It started when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. On July 29, Russia ordered a mobilization only against Austria-Hungary in support of Serbia. The Germans threatened war on July 31 if the Russians did not demobilize. France then mobilized. On August 1, Germany declared war on Russia, and two days later, on France. The German invasion of Belgium to attack France, which violated Belgium's official neutrality, prompted Britain to declare war on Germany. World War I had begun. Nationalism, militarism, and imperialism all prompted the rivalry between nations which led to WWI.…

    World War 1 Causes

    World war 1, also known as the Great War, happened in 1914-1918. World War 1 was the first global conflict. More than 38 million people suffered from casualties. When fighting for war, the soldiers were in Trench Warfare. This meant that they were fight in man made trenches. Trenches would get deep and muddy. The soldiers had to live inside them and with the dead bodies that would fall, the soldiers would have to bury them inside the trenches, so each body was stacked on top of another. A spark of the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. He was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist. The causes of World War 1 was due to Nationalism, Militarism, and…

    Sibling Rivalry (Pride and Prejudice and Much Ado About Nothing)

    Sibling Rivalry (Pride and Prejudice and Much Ado About Nothing)

    Sibling discord in both Much Ado About nothing and Pride & Prejudice can be seen as a result of a rivalry that has been fostered due to the inequality of Social Status and consequently a desire to ascend in the Social Hierarchy. Shakespeare’s depiction of the conflict and increasing tension between Don John and Don Pedro is representative of their disparity of the class and reputation due to Don John’s illegitimate birth. Hence Don John’s impassioned declaration that he has ‘Decreed not to sing in [his] cage’ which highlights that Don John is confined by his illegitimate birth and is restricted from moving up the social hierarchy. The metaphor ‘caged’ is indicative of the restrictions and the defining nature of his birth, which ultimately reduced his status in society. The contemporary audience would condemn Don John’s birth as he was born out of sin and this was considered to be as result of lechery in Elizabethan England, therefore they would expect his behavior and demeanor to be sinful, whereas a birth out of wedlock in the twenty first century would be considered entirely acceptable. Similarly, In Pride & Prejudice Austen utilises the character of Lydia to demonstrate the discrimination afforded to married women, despite the means of marriage being considered scandalous. Lydia confidently asserts ‘ I am a married Woman, you go lower than me, I take your place’ to Jane, highlighting her condescension of her elder sibling now that she has risen in the social hierarchy due to her marriage status. Her Hasty and brash retort magnifies her desperation to celebrate her new position and the idea that the rest of her siblings are now ‘lower’ than her. A contemporary reader in Regency England would sympathise with Jane‘s humiliating position of being the elder unmarried sibling, as in Regency England it was a woman’s prime objective in life to obtain a suitable and ideal husband. Whereas, a modern reader would be greatly appealed by Lydia’s biting remarks as her…

    Causes of WW1

    World War 1 or ‘The Great War’ was a conflict between the central and allied powers in 1914-1918. It took place mainly in Europe and Italy but was later expanded into France, Germany, and the South of Turkey. The causes of World War 1 are still debatable today. However, some points of the War are more important to note than others. Likewise, not only did the Serbians assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand, but the development of militarism also proves to be a main cause as well. The struggle of imperialism was correspondingly apart of the cause too because it set up the scene for other wars to take place. This is why imperialism is so substantial in history when we reference the Great War. These causes led to a world of propaganda, 8.5 million deaths, rationing of food, and higher taxes.…

    WWI (Why it happen)

    World War One was an extremely tragic war for everyone involved. As I would say about any war, there’s was no reason to get involved in the war, unless you had to. That’s why when asked the question of whether or not the United States should have joined WWI, I think we shouldn’t have. The United States should not have joined the war, not only because we had no substantial reason to fight in it, but also because the main reason we did indeed join the war was because we merely got caught in a sort of crossfire. The harsh environments and terms that both American and European soldiers had to deal with one up any impulsive reason to join the first World War.…

    There was not one single cause of World War 1; many chaotic events lead up to it. Although the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand sparked the war, there were many other incidents that caused the tension that influenced his murder. Three major contributions gave rise to the war: imperialism, nationalism, and the new alliances. If these things had not happened, the war may not have occurred or may have turned out very differently.…
