World Wars and Their Relationships
The relationship between World War I and World War II is based on several factors. First, Germany actually helped start the first war and did start the second war. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria by a Serbian national triggered the war. Germany was allied with Austria-Hungary, and then Italy. When the assassination occurred, several allied countries denounced Serbia and offered it ultimatums. Finally, Austria-Hungary demanded ten things that they knew Serbia could not accomplish, directly leading to the war. Austria-Hungary actually declared war when the demands were not met, and Germany declared war on Russia the next day, bringing the allies of Russia, such as France and Great Britain into the war. In the Second World War, Germany began taking over territory around the country, and they invaded Poland in 1939, which actually set off the war.

Notably, the treaty that ended World War I significantly shrank Germany's military, which wounded their pride.
Economic hardships followed World War I but hit Germany particularly hard because its colonies were given to victorious nations. Inflation was devastating, throwing even people who had been well-to-do into poverty. All of this made Germans an easy target for someone like Adolph Hitler, who promised to return German to its deserved glory.

The "Cold War" that followed World War II resulted because the United tates and the U...R. were uneasy allies during World War II. They united for a negative reason -- they were both opposed to Hitler's Germany.

After the war, however, the U...R. showed the same desire that Germany had prior to both world wars: they wanted to dominate Europe. They imposed Communist regimes on a number of weaker countries including Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. The United tates was adamantly opposed to any…...

On July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the moon.
he American success gave the "entire free world a huge and badly needed boost."

President Kennedy used the space race to boost the idea of the "free world" over Communism, commenting that we would govern space "by a banner of freedom and peace."

submarines were instrumental during both World Wars. What is less well-known is the role that submarines played as tools during the Cold War. In Blind Man's Bluff, Sontag and Drew reveal with stunning detail the accounts of American Naval officers who manned submarines during the Cold War. Their mission was unequivocal: gathering intelligence. On espionage missions, Cold War Naval submarines were on extremely dangerous missions that could have threatened not only to end the lives of the officers but also could have escalated Cold War tensions. Blind Man's Bluff is written in a narrative style accessible by all readers, as engaging as fiction but with all the intensity of history.
Summary

Blind Man's Bluff is based on the first person accounts of the Navy officers involved in the top-secret intelligence missions. According to the authors in their preface to the body of the book, the officers frequently declined the invitation for…...

History Of American Warfare
The end of the American warfare marked the beginning of the way women were treated in the public and the domestic sphere. Women movements largely lobbied for equal rights, new women organizations, and the emergence of a new era of women photographers, artists and professionals, modified the traditional patriarchal social framework across the world. These social changes, which had been set in motion at the dawn of the century, developed further as females were propelled into the labor force. As such, they were subjected to the previously male-dominated professional and political situations. y the mid of the 20th century, female's activities and issues were identified as a significant factor of the scientific, literary and cultural scenery of several nations, indicating a revolutionary change in the domestic and cultural positions.

Discussion

As the warfare ended, various changes concerning various women's positions in the society had appeared. Typically, the women labor…...

World War Analysis
WWI analysis examining the significance and impact of WWI on U.S. history

In the early 20th Century, a general fear existed that a huge war would break out due to the circumstances existing at that time and therefore every small incident was considered deadly. However the triggering factor was the assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand in June 1914 resulting in World War I (WWI) or the Great War. WWI took place from 1914 to 1918 and major countries took part in it; war resulting in drastic consequences such as collapse of economies and death of millions of people. The two main groups fighting against each other were Triple Alliance and Triple Entente (also known as the Western Powers). The U.S. did not participate in the war in the beginning and tried its best to remain neutral. However, it was forced to join the Triple Entente when German submarines sank…...

WWI
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife represented a culmination of several concurrent forces, all of which led to the outbreak of World War. The concurrent forces that led to World War One can be loosely grouped under the following categories: nationalism, imperialism, and militarism. Within each of these categories are ample sub-categories that can testify to the extent of forces that shaped the pre-war conditions throughout not just Europe but the entire world. World War One was a total war for many reasons: it involved serious civilian casualties on a horrific scale for all parties. The Great War also brought to light the impact of globalization on the global economy and political enterprise. Nationalism, imperialism, and militarism all played a part in shaping participation in World War One; the effects of which continue to reverberate.

As Marshall (2001) points out, "Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy were all creations of…...

Gradually, though, the war effort eroded the practical and theoretical underpinnings of racism in the United States. The war stimulated the domestic economy, particularly in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Jobs were opening up rapidly, and because so many white men were fighting the war, many black men were available to work. "For black workers orld ar II opened up opportunities that had never before existed," (O'Neil 1). The same was true for women, as the war left gaping holes in the labor market that needed to be filled in untraditional ways. At the same time as the war exposed American prejudice, "orld ar II gave many minority Americans -- and women of all races -- an economic and psychological boost." (Harris 1). The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) was founded, and overall, the war "jump-started the civil rights movement" in the United States (Harris 1; "Identify the impact…...

Diversity -- with the exception of homophobia -- was beginning to be commonly accepted and praised. Technology -- such as the use of DNA in criminology and the introduction of the PC -- was becoming more prominent in the lives of everyday Americans. In the Cold War, President Gorbachev asked for openness and economic freedom, while President eagan asked him to tear down the Berlin Wall, which he did. However, the discovery of AIDS had a far more profound impact on the American people than any of these events. In 1981, the first case of AIDS was reported in the United Kingdom, and this eventually caused quite a crisis in the U.S., as it was first noticed among gay men, and then in women and children as well. People became scared because they were not sure what was causing the disease. esearch continued throughout the 1980s, but the fear…...

WWII: Battle of Monte Cassino
History has been known to repeat itself. Today in Iraq for example, United States and Allied troops are torn when drawing up plans to win the war in the holy land. The problems stem from their not being able to directly attack certain Muslim holy locations or shrines even though Iraqi insurgents are constantly utilizing these positions as sanctuaries and initiation points for waging battles against the allied forces or the new Iraqi government. During World War II, the Axis powers with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi army also attempted to use similar tactics to fend off attacks by Allied forces.

WWII
Without a doubt, the expansionist policies of Germany, Italy and Japan and a direct attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor necessitated the need for America to enter World War II. However, the real question is not whether America should have entered World War II, but could it have prevented it from happening. As the world's new super power following World War I, America should have done more to restore stability to Western Europe, particularly Germany, a country saddled with huge reparation payments. And, the United States could have taken a more active role in the League of Nations to discourage aggression. Instead, America enjoyed the spoils of World War I and became isolationist in response to the Great Depression. Economic and political instability caused by World War I led the rise of fascism. The Nazi goals of reversing the Versailles Treaty and the establishment of a German Empire by means…...

By attacking from the North, Hitler effectively bypassed France's only real defense against invasion. Within two weeks, Paris was under Nazi control, and still seething from the harsh terms of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I, Hitler demanded that the surrender terms be signed in the very same spot as the armistice that ended that war, and in the very same railroad car, which he had brought out from its museum display for that purpose3. Belgium had surrendered to Germany without firing a shot, effectively dooming France to Nazi occupation, and nearly sealing the fate of more than a quarter million British troops sent to support Britain's ally, France.

Wilson, a student of public administration, favored more governmental regulation and action during a time when large monopolies still existed. He saw the role of public administration as "government in action; it is the executive, the operative, the most visible side of government, and is of course as old as government itself" (Wilson 235). The pendelum swung, though, and the government was blamed for many of the ills that caused the Great Depression. Franklin oosevelt, despite being called draconian, knew that he had to launch programs that would have a quick effect upon the struggling economy; resulting the New Deal -- a complex, interlocking set of programs designed to produce jobs, economic recovery, and fiscal reform of banking and Wall Street -- exactly what was needed, it seems to turn the Titanic in a new direction (Badger).

There are few who would dispute the fact that following the conclusion of World War II and prior to its revolution (which began in 1953 and concluded on January 1 of 1959) Cuba was a prosperous region of the world that was certainly worth fighting for. The country's leader prior to the ascendancy of Fidel Castro, Fulgencio Batista, had cleverly manipulated the assistance of a number of external forces, primarily that of the United States, to assist the country in achieving a degree of economic gain and modernity the likes of which were comparable to, if not surpassing, those of other parts of the world.

Its economic prowess may be demonstrated from the following quotation. "Cuba in 1958, prior to the government of the Communist Fidel Castro, paid its employees an average of $3.00 per hour, which was…...

World War II
The Use of Atomic Weapons on Japan in WWII

The Second World War officially began in 1939 with the evasion of Poland by Germany. The United States of America did not officially enter this international conflict of epic scale until the Japanese attacked American and European territories in the Pacific in 1941. The war persisted until 1945, culminating with the surrender of Japan and Germany to the U.S. & Allied Forces. During World War II, the world saw the first demonstrations of nuclear weapons -- atomic bombs. There were two infamous attacks on Japan by the U.S. On Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where the atomic bombs were dropped and caused unparalleled damage. The paper will provide a historical and political context within which to consider why the United States of America resorted to the use of atomic bombs upon Japan.

War campaigns waged by Germany and Japan were widely successful. Germany…...

One pivotal event in history that had a significant impact on modern society is the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution, which began in the late 18th century in Britain and later spread to other parts of the world, marked a major shift in society from agrarian and handcrafted economies to industrialized and factory-based economies.

This period saw the development of new technologies such as steam power, the mechanization of production processes, and the rise of factory-based systems of manufacturing. These advancements revolutionized various industries such as textiles, transportation, and agriculture, leading to increased productivity, economic growth, and urbanization.
