Overall World War I was a very interesting time period due to Imperialism, nationalism, militarism, and alliances that occurred in the time. Another reason is because of the death of Arch Duke which helped contribute to the conflicts of the war. The alliances were the Central Powers which were Germany, Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary. Then there was the Allied Powers which consisted of Britain, Russia, France, US and more countries that came into the war later on. The war lasted for four years yet ended with the Treaty of Versailles which didn't truly solve all the problems of the war but blamed it on Germany and the treaty overall tried to bring peace among the countries.
Technology
Technology was a huge factor during the war to overcome your opponent. Examples are having tanks or planes when the opponent doesn't is having the upper hand to defeat them. That is why technology is a crucial trait to have in a war. |
America's Entry
America enters WWI at the end of the war because they see an economic gain by joining the Allies. Also the US was almost forced into the war because of the Zimmerman Note which Germany asks Mexico to attack the United States. |
Outcome of WW1
The Treaty of Versailles is the official treaty that ended WWI, but at the same time did not fairly place blame on all countries responsible for the war. The Treaty put almost all blame on Germany and made them go into a state of depression and hyperinflation. |
