HELP ME I WILL FAN YOU AND GIVE YOU A MEDAL OR WHATEVER. Explain how world war 1 (1914-1915) impacted the rest of the 20th century? (HINT:Think about other war policies and philosophies.)
lolol i like ur title. so ima help. gimme a sec
World War 1 crippled Germany, which led them to elect Hitler, which caused world war 2. The holocaust forced Jews to be relocated to Palestine, so Palestinians are pissed off and forgotten for 60 years. In America, world war 2 got us out of the great depression, Roosevelt being elected 4 times gave us one of the amendments limiting terms of presidents to a maximum of 2 terms or 10 years. Occupying Japan allowed America to reshape and rewrite its constitution, and we implemented a strict, American set of morals, which is why all of their porn is censored. Building the atomic bomb led to an arms race with Russia, which led to the cold war, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Bay of Pigs Massacre. Basically everything in history that has happened since World War 1 wouldn't have happened without it. The prospects for this question are endless.
both had a large impact some historians believe it is the same war with a rest in between World War I and World War II wiped out generations of men While World War 2 certainly had more wide-ranging involvement and immediate impact on the globe, theprevailing view amongst military historians and political scientists is that World War One actually had the most far-reaching impact. Practically all of the political conflicts and actual wars fought post-WW1 can be directly traced back to things that happened during (or at the conclusion of) that war. Here's a short list of things that happened during WW1 that had major impact on 20th-century life: Treaty of Versailles - the terms and conditions set forth in the treaty concluding WW1 are pretty much universally recognized to creating the conditions in Germany for the rise of National Socialism (and its attendant high priest, Adolf Hitler). The treaty forced a change in the German government, leaving the new government severely weakened and easy fodder for a radical nationalist movement. Centralized government - the "total war" concept and necessity of mobilizing the entire country's economy towards fighting a war caused an radical increase in the power of federal governments, as well as increasing their size several fold. Politically, WW1 effectively settled the issue of where the majority of power should be concentrated in any country. Federal (central) governments have only increased in size and power since WW1. Strong federal governments have largely dictated the course of most of the 20th century. Concept of Global Collective Security - ideas around the creation of a global community and its responsibility towards collective peace arise out of the chaos of WW1. While the League of Nations was a failure, the idea lives on in the United Nations and many of the global quasi-governmental organizations that regulate much of international disputes these days (e.g. World Court, the WTO, etc.) Communism as a valid form of government - the allowing of Lenin's outstandingly short-sighted disastrous action of the entire 20th century. Allowing Lenin the ability to participate in the Russian Revolution is a catastrophe of biblical proportions. This action cleared the way for Lenin to highjack the Russian Revolution (which was well on its way to leaving a democratic government in control of Russia) and then fight and win the Russian Civil War. WW1 thus led directly to the first establishment of a Communist elsewhere in the world (many of which are still ongoing). Without this action, it is highly unlikely that Communism would ever have been considered a possibly
valid form of government by anyone, so there would be NO Communist countries anywhere. Rise of the United States as a global power - WW1 was the impetus that changed the American vision to be one of a global scope. Up until then, the United States was pretty much solely concerned with affairs in the Western Hemisphere (N/S America), and had all the characteristics of becoming an imperial power in the mold of Great Britain. WW1 radically reshaped the American view of the world (and the US's proper place in it), and indeed, changed Europe's view of the US, too. The U.S. emerged from the war as an industrial andpolitical superpower, ahead of all other world powers. Without WW1, it is unlikely that the US would have achieved such a powerful position. Death of Empires - WW1 led directly to the death of the German, Austro-HungarianOttoman, and French Empires, and indirectly to the death of the British Empire(by saddling Great Britain with a huge war debt, it made the maintenance of the Empire too expensive). The enormous cost in blood and money of WW1 left those countries unable to maintain the political and economic power needed to hold on to their extensive overseas colonies, which slowly began to break away (or, in the case of the losers, have them stripped away). Ideas of National Self-Determination - the end of WW1 began the promotion of the idea that all peoples should be empowered to determine their own government - that is, they
should be able to form their own nation. there. tht is what i got. lolol
oh um thats alot to work with thanks so much tho c:
