This document discusses the long term causes of World War 1. It begins by defining key terms like arms, treaty, alliance, empire, nationalism, and imperialism. It then lists the four main categories of long term causes as militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism. The document guides students through an activity where they put the long term cause cards in chronological order and discuss related causes. They then rank the causes from most to least important. Finally, students are asked to consider whether making so many alliances was a good decision for European powers and to identify the single most important long term cause of WWI.

It includes two videos showing stereotypes used, such as depicting Germans as hungry wolves and Japanese as having buck teeth, to represent them as untrustworthy and unrefined.

Several historians believe Germany was responsible for starting WWI due to its policy of "Welt Politik" and evidence from diplomatic papers like the "Blank Cheque", which guaranteed support for Austria in the event of war. However, German historians at the time refuted these claims despite Germany accepting guilt in the Treaty of Versailles. Later historians like Gooch argued guilt should be shared among the major European powers, as hardships from the treaty created sympathy for Germany and a re-examination of the evidence.
First world war and the Bismarck Systems

Leading up to the war, Germany's Chancellor Bismarck had established a complex system of alliances in Europe that broke down and led to the outbreak of war in 1914.

1. Long Term Causes of WW1.pptx
World War I was caused by long-term tensions in Europe that built up over decades prior to 1914. There was rising nationalism among European powers which increased rivalry and tensions. Countries formed alliances that entangled them in a web of defense agreements, and a system of alliances pulled the major powers into war in August 1914 when fighting broke out in the Balkans. The war resulted in over 20 million deaths and changed the world order.

Causes of the english civil war
The English Civil War was caused by both religious and political factors developing over the long and short term. Long term causes included disagreements over money, power, and religion between the King and Parliament. Short term triggers included the King's attempts to impose his will on the Church and Parliament's refusal to provide further funding without concessions. While religion played an important role, the Civil War was ultimately caused by an intertwining of religious and political tensions, with power being the most significant underlying cause of conflict.
The yalta conference 1945
The Yalta Conference in 1945 addressed four key issues: the future of Eastern Europe, the division of Germany, the establishment of the United Nations, and the end of the war with Japan. Regarding Eastern Europe, Stalin refused to allow international supervision of elections in Poland, breaking his promise to FDR and Churchill. For Germany, the country was divided into occupation zones that eventually led to West and East Germany. The UN was formed but Stalin gained veto power. Finally, the Soviet Union agreed to join the war against Japan in exchange for land in Asia. Historians debate whether FDR and Churchill could have achieved better outcomes or if outside factors limited their power.

Literature Focus: Author’s Purpose
Authors write for a variety of reasons. Some texts intend to inform the reader of
specific factual information, some try to persuade the reader of a particular position,
and many fictional books just seek to entertain the reader. While Orwell’s 1984 is
fictional, it also acts as the author’s warning against the perils of totalitarian
governments. To this end, the author employs irony and specific motifs to set the
mood of a depressing, dystopian society.
Irony creates a contrast between what is expected or appears to be and what
actually occurs. To set the stage for a dystopian society, Orwell employs several
examples of irony.

This document discusses and compares the theories of state apparatuses by Antonio Gramsci and Louis Althusser. While Althusser locates ideological work in the state, Gramsci associates it with civil society. However, some passages from Gramsci suggest his view is more nuanced. The author has been skeptical that Althusser's essay accomplishes anything new, feeling Gramsci had already explained the issues in a more humanistic way. They believe the difference between Gramsci and Althusser on this topic is not as stark as initially presented.

This document discusses and compares the theories of state apparatuses by Antonio Gramsci and Louis Althusser. While Althusser locates ideological work in the state, Gramsci associates it with civil society. However, some passages from Gramsci suggest his view is more nuanced. The author has been skeptical that Althusser's essay accomplishes anything new, feeling Gramsci had already explained the issues in a more humanistic way. They believe the difference between Gramsci and Althusser on this topic is not as stark as initially presented.

the causes of the first world war.
The document summarizes the key causes that led to the outbreak of World War 1 in 1914, including militarism, imperialism, alliances and nationalism. Militarism involved Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II seeking to strengthen his army and navy to rival other European powers. Complex alliances bound the major European countries, which exacerbated tensions when the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbian nationalists led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, drawing the other countries into war. Nationalism also fueled tensions as countries sought to expand their power.

Constraints faced by newly independent states
Newly independent African states faced significant political, economic, and social constraints after independence from colonial rule. Politically, colonial powers did not provide Africans experience in democratic governance and left authoritarian systems in place. Economically, countries inherited structures focused on single exports and lacked skills and infrastructure to diversify their economies. Socially, ethnic divisions within states' populations challenged unity and led to conflicts as new governments struggled to provide basic services and improve living conditions for their people in the early years after independence.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
