We talked about our last poject. It is a video that has to be five minutes. I love the 20's.
Assigned blog
-New Diplomacy- More agressive, got more involded with foreing affair. Built up our military. Became very imperilistic, and nationalistic.
England and France were demorcratic. Germany and Austria Hungary appeared to be demcratic but were really authoritarian. Russia- Radical socialists (communism)What are the major causes of WWI- Nationalism, Imperialsm, Nationalism, Economic Compection, System of Alliances. But the spark was the assination of Him
Cities in Europe were growing a lot. Religion was less and less stressed. World War One Propaganda. Europe had a lot of wars within them selves. Every single part of Africa was taken over by a european country. the winners wanted to get land from the losers.
I went first for blog discussions. Militarism- Wanting to resolve desputes with war. not treaties.
Imperialism- domination of a stronger country over a weaker counrty. lead to war because come contries got upset over taking lands. when they one, they got the land. Country a and b both wanted country c. So they went to war. Nationalism- having great pride in your country. people loved their contry so much, so they'd do anythign to protect it.
Austira Hungary- They hated nationalism. Servia wanted part of A.H. Gavrilo Princip- ArchDuke Franz Ferdinach. He was under twenty so he couldn't be put to death. June 28th 1914. One of the six members of a group of assisnation. Servians wanted all serves to live in the greater servian country. There was a big conspracy.
U.S. Nuetrality- If people are nutral in a war they don't get into it. America was Nuetral for a while. A lot of people said the war was between capitalist and imperialists. they both wanted control of markets and colinies. We got demands from Allies. We traded with the countries at war because we were nuetral. Waring nations had the right to stop and seize nuetral ships. Many people didn't want to be involved because they thought it was just another European war that would cause too many deaths and too much money. We got in it because we were economically tied to the war. Eventually we only traded with Europe, and we needed them to win. Woodrow Wilson- we need to be impartial in thought and in action. He won a second term, with the platform he'll keep us out of war. Eventhough a year later we were at war.
Trench War Fare- They build trenches and soldiers hide there, it's very hard to kill unless you have tanks of bombs. Both sides used trenches. In between the two trenches was no mans land. If you went out there you would die. The distance between there could be 50-90 yards. Barbed Wire. Used machine guns. Used pistols. Trench war fare no longer works due to bombs. they used gassed.
Three types of trenches- front line, support, reserve.
