World War 1 “The war to end all wars.” This was the common name used for World War 1 but truthfully I do not believe there will ever be a war that ends all wars forever. This war struck fear into the hearts of not only soldiers in the war but citizens caught in the cross fire of the hatred that was plaguing our world. This war started for many reasons such as nationalism‚ imperialism‚ militarism and the formations of alliances. But the main reason this war was fought was because of a countries

Why did Germany start World War I? They didn’t. The Big Four‚ Woodrow Wilson‚ David Lloyd George‚ Vittorio Orlando‚ and Georges Clemenceau weren’t justified in making Germany take the blame for WWI because Austria and Hungary were the countries who had started war with Russia‚ France and Serbia. Germany entered the war and fought for Austria and Hungary because they were bound by treaty‚ in fact Germany called a cease fire but Austria and Hungary kept battling. Austria and Hungary were the countries

Who was to blame for the cold war? Generally it is not a great idea to blame just one party for something. I feel the same way about the cold war. I believe all parties involved were equally to blame in the cold war. This will be illustrated in my essay. However‚ there are three divisions of western historians when it comes to their opinion on the Cold War‚ the Traditionalists‚ the Revisionists and the Post-Revisionists. Each party has their own opinion on who was actually to blame for the Cold

Who was most to blame for the Cold War? The Cold War was the tense relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR) during the 46-year period following the World War II’s end‚ but before the end of the Soviet Union. It refers to the time between 1945 and 1991. The war was unlike any other war‚ because the two countries’ armies never directly went to war with each other. Many people feared that the relations would end in a nuclear war‚ but that never happened. The meaning of ‘Cold

Who Was To Blame For The Cold War? The blame for the Cold War cannot be placed on one person -- it developed as a series of chain reactions as a struggle for supremacy. It can be argued that the Cold War was inevitable‚ and therefore no one’s fault‚ due to the differences in the capitalist and communist ideologies. It was only the need for self-preservation that had caused the two countries to sink their differences temporarily during the Second World War. Yet many of the tensions that existed

I strongly believe that Germany is not to be blamed for starting the First World War. In my opinion all the major powers helped to start the war‚ moreover‚ they should share the blame. Firstly‚ Germany was being forced to admit that they started the war‚ however‚ according to Count Brockdorff-Rantzan (head of the German delegates at Versailles in 1919)‚ the German people felt they were fighting a war of defense. If Germany had caused the war the other countries would have only fought defensively

During the Cold War‚ both USA and USSR have faults. But Stalin’s action was most to blame. He has the most aggressive actions compared to the actions done by USA. He did not keep his promise which he had agreed at the Yalta Conference. He had dominated the countries in East Europe and spread Communism‚ causing dictatorship and people imprisoned due to the disloyalty towards Stalin. Also‚ a lot of Stalin’s actions had offense USA. However‚ things done by Truman such as the propagandas posted and increased

The Civil War was a time of great social and political upheaval. It was also a time of great technological change. Inventors and military men devised new types of weapons‚ such as the repeating rifle and the submarine‚ that forever changed the way that wars were fought. Even more important were the technologies that did not specifically have to do with the war‚ like the railroad and the telegraph. Innovations like these did not just change the way people fought wars--they also changed the way people

up to World War II‚ Germany was a struggling nation. The Treaty of Versailles and the failure from World War I left the country in pieces. Germany’s cities were destroyed‚ they had low job employment‚ and they were in heavy debt (historynet.com). Adolf Hitler‚ a German leader‚ used the idea of nationalism to unite the country as one. As part of his agenda‚ he blamed Jewish people‚ communists‚ England‚ and France for their problems (worldwar-two.net). Hitler took complete control over Germany and the
