World War I Aim Aaron Archuleta  World War I was an event of chain reactions that resulted in the beginning of one the darkest times mankind had seen in modern society. The impact of World War I reflects the behavior of mankind and the inevitability of having a war begin from hatred and revenge. Though the war grow large from the alliances that tied nations together, it grow even larger as a result of conflicts between involved nations. The war collapse the successes that nations worked to build and since has reflected the behavior that created this war. “The two nations most affected were Germany and France, each of which sent some 80 percent of their male populations between the ages of 15 and 49 into battle. The war also marked the fall of four imperial dynasties--Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia and Turkey” (A&E Televisions). Through these events of war the world was transformed reflecting the behavior of these nations. “World War I probably had more far-reaching consequences than any other proceeding war. Politically, it resulted in the downfall of four monarchies… Economically, the war severely disrupted the European economies and allowed the United States to become the world's leading creditor and industrial power” (Mintz). The outcome of this behavior was predicted far before the events occurred and it was a matter of what would ignite the chain reaction. The events of World War I also changed the way many people viewed the world and changed their beliefs a due to the negative outcomes the war created.

Historical <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; text-align: center;">Jasmine Garner <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">One of the most onerous activities known to the human race is, of course, warfare. In June 1914, the greatest war in the history of the world thus far began with the assassination of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand (A&E Television). This event, resulting from years of tension between European countries, ultimately led to what was known as The Great War, or The War To End All Wars, because its successor had not yet been borne upon the world. What occurred next was a chain-reaction of alliances between nations, which declared war on the opposing countries as though a domino effect were inexorable. Essentially, the rivaling sides became the Central Powers and the opposing Allied Powers, which greatly outnumbered the Central Powers by seven major nations (CNN Library). The war, after four years’ endurance, granted victory to the Allied Powers and thereby nearly destroyed Germany’s economy as well as its military. Overall, World War I was the first war of such a severe degree, leading to countless military and political advances which led each government to its place in the modern scope of the world.

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The First World War had an immeasurable impact on the American society overall. First of all, it was the moment in history during which America became a standing world power, comparable to Britain and France (Gomez). Now that the United States had emerged from Isolationism and thrust itself into world affairs, it was able to rise to the top and thereby gained the ability to influence other nations economically. This virtually created an abrupt end to isolationism altogether, for there would be no turning back once the country made itself readily available to the world. Not only that, but the war also united the American people in the sense that everyone began contributing; women worked more and the citizens sent more supplies to their men overseas, fighting to save not only their lives, but those of the Allied members as well (“The Domestic Impact”). Naturally, due to an increased need for supplies and nearly all the men away at war, more opportunities opened up in the workforce. Women and African Americans were given more of a chance to work and provide for their families and those fighting. Inherently, the rights for these two groups especially opened up and were promoted due to basic need of continuing the industry and supplying necessities. In addition, new technologies sprang left and right due to the war; new methods of producing more, faster became essential and desired within most industries so as to keep everything running smoothly (“The Domestic Impact”). These three factors (economic stance, women in the workforce, and the need to produce more) created an overall sense of unity and determination to aid in whatever way possible in winning the war. The nation truly pulled itself together and showed the world just what it was made of, and eventually helped achieve victory in the war.
