The document provides background information on World War I. It discusses the alliances between countries in Europe prior to WWI, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which helped spark the war, how Germany's invasion plans failed and led to trench warfare on the Western Front, major battles like Gallipoli, the use of new military technologies, and the immense human costs of the war in terms of lives lost and societies disrupted. It also notes how the outcome and peace terms of the war led to issues like the rise of Nazi Germany and future conflicts.
1. World War I began due to rising militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism in Europe that created tensions between countries.
2. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Gavrilo Princip triggered World War I when Austria-Hungary issued a harsh ultimatum to Serbia and Germany backed Austria, leading other countries to join the fighting.
3. Technology advanced rapidly during World War I, including the introduction of tanks, airplanes, chemical weapons, and long-range artillery that increased the lethality and scale of combat.
The document provides a detailed timeline and overview of key events, leaders, battles, and developments during World War 1 from 1914 to 1918. It touches on the initial assassination that sparked the war, major offensives like the Somme, the entry of the US, and the eventual armistice. Photos supplement the text in depicting the immense human toll through battle scenes, cemeteries, and memorials dedicated to those who fought.
This one has a personal connection for me. I wrote my MA thesis on one of the key players. I took our younger son, Bob, to see the site and the Allied cemetery. All the futility and sadness of WW I is brought to sharp focus in this story.
The document discusses the opposing naval strategies and command structures of Britain and Germany at the outbreak of World War 1. Britain had recently established a War Council to make strategic decisions, led by Prime Minister Asquith and including Churchill and Kitchener. Germany's naval command was fragmented without a clear strategic vision. Both nations entered the war with strong navies but lacked coordination in naval planning and operations. The lack of unified command and strategic thinking would hamper the effectiveness of both navies early in the war.

The Treaty of Versailles formalized the end but its punitive terms planted seeds for future conflict.
Trench warfare dominated fighting during World War 1, with both sides digging trenches protected by barbed wire and mines. Soldiers lived in miserable conditions in the trenches, dealing with flooded trenches, rats that fed on human corpses, and the constant threat of artillery and gas attacks. New technologies, like gas masks, artillery techniques, tanks, and machine guns were developed and used, but often caused many casualties and provided limited success due to reliability issues. Trench warfare resulted in massive casualties with little territorial gain on the Western Front in France and Belgium that stretched over 400 miles of opposing trenches.

His 102 chapter 24 the first world war 3-18dcyw1112
The First World War engulfed the entire globe from 1914 to 1918, with over 70 million men mobilized across multiple empires and countries. It began as a regional conflict due to nationalist tensions and secret alliances in the Balkans but rapidly expanded to include most major world powers. The war was more destructive than initially expected due to modern industrial weapons and tactics like trench warfare. It resulted in immense casualties with little territorial change and ultimately led to the decline of several long-standing empires.
This document summarizes key aspects of absolutism in Europe between 1660-1789. It describes the political theory of absolutism and how rulers like Louis XIV of France centralized power. It discusses enlightened absolutism under monarchs like Maria Theresa of Austria and Catherine the Great of Russia who balanced absolutism with support for education and the merchant class. War was used by these empires to consolidate power and increase their territories, shifting the balance of power in Europe. Colonialism and slavery developed under mercantilism to maximize profits for the mother countries.
The document discusses various attempts to define the concept of "civilization" from different sources and perspectives. It examines definitions from the Oxford English Dictionary referring to an advanced stage of social development and organization. It also looks at definitions from other dictionaries and sources that discuss attributes like urban centers, specialized craftspeople, writing systems, and surpluses of food. The document questions who defines what is "civilized" and how advancement is measured. It considers perspectives on values orientations and attributes of civilizations like towns over 5,000 people, monumental ceremonial centers, and complex divisions of labor and hierarchies.
Early humans transitioned from hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities during the Neolithic Revolution around 11,000 years ago. This enabled population growth and specialization. In Mesopotamia, the Sumerians developed irrigation, wheeled vehicles, metal tools, and a system of writing called cuneiform to record economic transactions, helping centralized religious and political authority to emerge. Egyptian civilization along the fertile Nile Valley was protected by deserts and benefited from predictable annual flooding, allowing the pharaohs to maintain power as living gods over a stable agricultural society with a highly centralized bureaucracy and infrastructure projects like pyramids.
This document provides an overview of key political, economic, and social developments in the early United States from 1800 to 1850.

His 101 chapter 4 the greek world expands 400-150 b.c.e. spring 17dcyw1112
Philip II united the Greek city-states under Macedonian rule in the 4th century BCE. His son, Alexander the Great, expanded the empire greatly through his military conquests from Greece to India. After Alexander's death, his generals divided the empire among themselves, establishing three major Hellenistic kingdoms - Ptolemaic Egypt, Seleucid Asia, and Antigonid Macedon and Greece. This period saw major developments in science, philosophy, and the arts that helped spread Greek culture throughout the Mediterranean world and beyond.
The Industrial Revolution transformed Britain and later spread to other parts of Europe and the world. New technologies like the steam engine and mechanized factories increased productivity but also led to poor working conditions and urban poverty. The middle class grew as a new social class but gender roles became more separate, with women expected to focus on domestic duties. The working class struggled with low pay, long hours, and unsafe working environments in the new industrial cities and factories.
The document discusses different perspectives on what history is and why it is studied. It notes that history involves investigating the past to gain knowledge and understand truths, and that different people can have different interpretations and views of the past.

The document provides historical context on the Republican resurgence and decline from the 1920s leading up to the Great Depression. It discusses the economic policies of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover which focused on tax cuts, deregulation, and high tariffs. These supply-side policies led to speculation and an unsustainable bubble. The stock market crash of 1929 exposed structural problems and the economy collapsed, deepened by the Smoot-Hawley Tariff and Hoover's adherence to the gold standard. By 1932, 13 million Americans were unemployed as Hoover's efforts proved too little too late.
This document provides an overview of the Progressive Era in the United States from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.

The rise of Theodore Roosevelt and his "Square Deal" platform expanding the role of the federal government is discussed. The document also outlines Woodrow Wilson's progressive agenda including the Federal Reserve Act and establishing the Federal Trade Commission.
His 122 ch 18 the gilded age & urban americadcyw1112

- America saw explosive urban growth during this period as the population grew from 6 million to 44 million, with the majority living in urban areas for the first time.
- Cities struggled with problems of unregulated growth including issues with sanitation, health, and crime. Immigrant populations also swelled in urban centers.

Chapter 16 big business, organized labor, financial panic, populist movementdcyw1112
This document summarizes the growth of big business and organized labor in the United States between 1860-1900. It describes how the Second Industrial Revolution led to unprecedented growth through new technologies and transportation/communication networks. Figures like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan pioneered big businesses and trusts that dominated entire industries. Workers organized unions like the Knights of Labor for better treatment in the face of exploitation. However, strikes were often broken up violently by private militias or federal troops. The period saw ongoing conflict between big business, workers, farmers, and politicians over control of the free market system.

57. The Sadness of the Somme, Oil on Plywood by Mary Riter Hamilton
62. Pluck” by Eva Dobell (a British Nurse)
Crippled for life at seventeen,
His great eyes seem to question why:
with both legs smashed it might have been
Better in that grim trench to die
Than drag maimed years out helplessly.
A child-so wasted and so white,
He told a lie to get his way,
To march, a man with men, and fight
While other boys are still at play.
A gallant lie your heart will say.
So broke with pain, he shrinks in dread “
To see the 'dresser' drawing near;
and winds the clothes about his head
That none may see his heart-sick fear.
His shaking, strangled sobs you hear.
But when the dreaded moment's there
He'll face us all, a soldier yet,
Watch his bared wounds with unmoved air,
(Though tell-tale lashes still are wet),
And smoke his Woodbine cigarette.
63. First Soul
I was a peasant of the Polish plain;
I left my plough because the message ran:-
Russia, in danger, needed every man
To save her from the Teuton; and was slain.
I gave my life for freedom—This I know
For those who bade me fight had told me so.
64. Second Soul
I was a Tyrolese, a mountaineer;
I gladly left my mountain home to fight
Against the brutal treacherous Muscovite;
And died in Poland on a Cossack spear.
I gave my life for freedom—This I know
For those who bade me fight had told me so.
65. Third Soul
I worked in Lyons at my weaver's loom,
When suddenly the Prussian despot hurled
His felon blow at France and at the world;
Then I went forth to Belgium and my doom.
66. Fourth Soul
I owned a vineyard by the wooded Main,
Until the Fatherland, begirt by foes
Lusting her downfall, called me, and I rose
Swift to the call—and died in far Lorraine.
67. Fifth Soul
I worked in a great shipyard by the Clyde;
There came a sudden word of wars declared,
Of Belgium, peaceful, helpless, unprepared,
Asking our aid: I joined the ranks, and died.
I gave my life for freedom—This I know
For those who bade me fight had told me so.
