Germany craftily avoided France's strong defensive lines after World War 2 and attacked through Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands instead. While these countries resisted the German advance, they were ultimately no match for Germany's tanks. As a result, France underestimated German military power and soon fell under Hitler's control, with Germany establishing a puppet government at Vichy France.

World War One began in 1914 in the Balkans after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbia, splitting countries into two main alliances - the Allied powers of France, Britain, Russia, United States, and Italy versus the Central powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. The war involved total mobilization of society and the economy and resulted in stalemated trench warfare. Key battles included the First and Second Battle of Marne where the Allies halted the German advance near Paris, the failed Allied invasion of the Gallipoli peninsula, and the massive and bloody Battle of the Somme.

CAMBRIDGE IGCSE HISTORY: LONG/SHORT TERM CAUSES OF WORLD WAR 1
The Great War was caused by long term tensions between European powers as well as short term events that sparked the war. In the long term, Germany's growing power threatened other countries and an arms race increased tensions. By 1914, Europe was divided into two alliance systems. The short term cause was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which gave Austria-Hungary an excuse to attack Serbia, drawing in the other powers. Germany backed Austria-Hungary and invaded neutral Belgium, bringing Britain into the war against Germany and its allies.

George Clemenceau was the prime minister of France during World War 1. He was nicknamed "The Tiger" for his determination to destroy Germany. As prime minister, his primary concern at the Paris Peace Conference was ensuring future security for France given Germany's past invasions. While publicly agreeing with Wilson's 14 Points, Clemenceau privately pushed for a harsh peace to severely weaken Germany to prevent another attack on France.
Origins of wwi essay
Germany pursued an aggressive foreign policy of Weltpolitik that sought European dominance. The September Program outlined Germany's ambition to control Europe economically and politically by making nations like France and Belgium subordinate to Germany. Germany also took actions like expanding its navy and interfering in crises in Morocco that antagonized Britain and France. While Austria-Hungary's conflict with Serbia was the immediate trigger for war, Germany shared responsibility for the war breaking out due to its encouragement of and unconditional support for Austria-Hungary's actions against Serbia through the "Blank Cheque", as well as miscalculations in its Schlieffen Plan that drew more countries into the war.
The Weimar Republic
The document summarizes the establishment and challenges of the Weimar Republic in Germany following World War 1. It discusses how Germany was defeated and faced chaos, influenza and harsh peace terms from the Allies to become a democracy. Despite opposition, elections were held and the Social Democratic Party came to power. However, the Republic faced opposition from Communists and nationalist groups as well as severe economic problems due to reparations and the Ruhr occupation. The Dawes Plan provided loans that stabilized the economy in the mid-1920s under Foreign Minister Stresemann, who improved foreign relations through the Locarno Treaties and Germany's entry into the League of Nations. However, long term economic and political stability relied on continued foreign loans.

1) 1914 was the War of Movement stage, where Germany initially advanced through Belgium but was stopped at the Marne river by the Allies. Russia also invaded Germany but was stopped at Tannenberg.
2) From 1915-1916 was the War of Attrition stage, where static trench warfare led to massive casualties on both sides at battles like Somme and Verdun with little territory changed. New weapons like tanks and gas were introduced.
3) In 1917, the US entered the war on the Allies side and Russia left with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, allowing Germany to move troops to
Day Of Days
Eisenhower led the largest invasion in history on June 6, 1944, known as D-Day, to liberate Western Europe from Nazi Germany. Over 3 million Allied troops attacked five beaches in Normandy, France against heavy German resistance. Despite facing fortified defenses and over 11,000 casualties on D-Day alone, the Allies established a foothold in Normandy and continued advancing, eventually liberating Paris two months later. Within six weeks, the Allies had suffered over 100,000 casualties but managed to free most of Western Europe from German control by September 1944, marking a turning point in the war.
Battle of waterloo
Captain Kincaid and his troops began to cheer when they heard the British lines advancing far to the right, signaling Lord Wellington's order to pursue the retreating French forces. Emerging from the thick smoke, Kincaid witnessed an exquisite scene of the French army in disarray and retreat, as British and Prussian lines pursued them into the distance. This movement cleared the smoke and revealed the victory over Napoleon, relieving the anxiety of the long and destructive battle.
World War I Causes
World War 1 was caused by long-term tensions between European nations such as nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and the alliance system. The immediate cause was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist on June 28, 1914. This triggered a series of declarations of war between European powers with secret alliances that led all major European powers to enter the war.

Battle of britain
The Battle of Britain was a major turning point in World War II that prevented Germany from invading Britain. It was an air battle fought between the German Luftwaffe and the British Royal Air Force from July to September 1940. After Germany's victory over France, Hitler planned to invade Britain next. The Luftwaffe began bombing British cities like London to soften defenses for invasion. However, the RAF intercepted many German planes, shooting down a large number during bombing raids in September. This major loss of German aircraft caused Hitler to cancel plans for invading Britain, marking a crucial defeat that changed the course of the war.

13.2 wwii begins
WWII began in 1938 with Germany annexing Austria in the Anschluss. Hitler then set his sights on the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. At the Munich Conference, Britain and France agreed to give Hitler the Sudetenland in an attempt to appease him. However, Hitler soon demanded the city of Danzig from Poland, leading Britain and France to declare war on Germany after its invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, marking the start of WWII. Germany was able to quickly defeat Poland and France through the use of new Blitzkrieg tactics. The Battle of Britain in 1940 was the first defeat of German forces.
