World War I began with Germany sinking merchant ships like the Lusitania with submarines, angering neutral countries like the United States. While the US initially remained neutral to continue trading, tensions rose as Germany intensified submarine attacks on ships. This caused the US to enter the war on the side of the Allies against Germany in 1917.

War of 1812
The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Britain due to British interference with American international trade and border disputes between the US, Canada, and Britain. Significant events included the British burning down Washington D.C. in 1814. This inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star Spangled Banner" after witnessing the successful defense of Fort McHenry. Although inconclusive, the war helped establish America's credibility as a nation and promoted a strong sense of national pride among Americans by showing they could stand up to a major world power like Britain.
Wwi presentation
Militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism in Europe led to rising tensions prior to World War 1. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 resulted in countries taking sides in the war as either part of the Allied or Central Powers. The US initially remained neutral but increasing attacks on US shipping by German U-boats led the US to enter the war in 1917 on the side of the Allies. After the war ended in 1918, the Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany in an attempt to assign blame and prevent future wars.

The document discusses several topics related to World War 1 history including:
1) Germany's decision to engage in unrestricted submarine warfare and sink civilian ships without warning, which was considered a war crime and turned public opinion against Germany.
2) The sinking of the civilian ship Lusitania which killed women and children and made Germany the villain in the eyes of the world and helped bring the US into the war.
3) The US entry into the war in April 1917 after President Wilson said the US would make the world safe for democracy.
How did WW2 start?
The Second World War started due to tensions remaining after World War I. Countries took sides, forming alliances like Germany and Italy allied together, while France, Britain and Russia allied together. The immediate trigger was Germany invading Poland in 1939, leading Britain and France to declare war on Germany, beginning World War II.
The great war
The Great War (World War I) lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved many of the world's great powers. It was the result of rising nationalism in European nations and leaders' aggression towards other countries. Key events included the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which sparked the war, Germany's invasion of Belgium and northern France in 1914, and the United States' entry into the war in 1917 in response to Germany's submarine warfare. Trench warfare led to immense casualties on both sides before an Allied offensive in late 1918 and Germany's acceptance of an armistice on November 11th brought the war to an end.
Alex Trinkner
The document summarizes key events related to World War 1, including the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, reasons for US entry into the war like the Zimmerman Note and sinking of the Lusitania, and trench warfare conditions. The Treaty of Versailles placed blame on Germany for starting the war and imposed heavy reparations, created new countries from former empires, and formed the League of Nations. Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmerman Note pushed the US into the war in 1917.
Project 5.1
The United States initially pursued a policy of neutrality in World War I, hoping to remain allies with all sides. However, Germany sinking American supply ships like the Lusitania and intercepted messages revealing German plans caused the U.S. to enter the war in 1917. American involvement helped tip the scales in favor of the Allies, with U.S. troops fighting in major battles and inflicting over 320,000 casualties on Germany. This combined with the economic might of the U.S. caused Germany to collapse and the Allies to achieve victory by 1918.
The great war
The Great War began in 1914 and involved all major world powers, resulting from rising nationalism and aggression among European leaders. Key events included the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand sparking the war, Germany declaring war in August 1914, and the sinking of the Lusitania passenger ship by a German submarine in 1915, killing over 1,000 civilians including Americans. Trench warfare led to immense casualties on both sides until a final Allied push in late 1918 forced Germany to sign an armistice on November 11th, ending the war.

Conversation big3
The document summarizes a dialogue between Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd George, and Georges Clemenceau, who were negotiating the peace treaties after World War 1. Each leader had different views - Wilson was idealistic, Lloyd George prioritized the British economy, and Clemenceau wanted to severely punish Germany. They debated Germany's reparations, punishment, and disarmament. Ultimately they agreed Germany would pay reparations, reduce its army and navy, lose colonies, and accept blame, and Wilson's proposal to create the League of Nations was also supported.
First world war
World War I was caused by militarism, imperialism, nationalism, and a system of alliances that drew the major European powers into war. The immediate trigger was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist. This led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia and their ally Germany to back Austria, drawing in their enemies Russia, France and eventually Britain on the opposing side. The war became a bloody stalemate as new industrial weapons and trench warfare led to massive casualties with little movement in the front lines for years. When it ended in 1918 over 8 million soldiers had been killed making it one of the deadliest conflicts in history.

The document discusses two potential theories for why the US entered World War I:
1) The US was attacked despite declaring neutrality, as German U-boats sank American merchant ships and killed thousands of Americans.
2) President Wilson wanted to make the world safe for democracy and fix Germany's aggressive government, which had decided on ruthless attacks like U-boat strikes against merchant vessels.
3) After analyzing perspectives and evidence for both theories, the document concludes that the main reason for US entry was being attacked despite neutrality declarations.
The War of 1812
- Conflicts between Native Americans and settlers over land led by Tecumseh escalated, culminating in the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811 where U.S. soldiers defeated Tecumseh's forces.
- Tensions between the U.S. and Britain grew as the British armed Native Americans against American expansion and imposed trade restrictions on the U.S.
- In 1812, frustrated by British interference, President Madison declared war on Britain, though the poorly prepared U.S. faced initial setbacks like the burning of Washington D.C. before gaining victories at the Battle of New Orleans and in signing the 1814 Treaty of Ghent.

The document summarizes several key causes of World War 1, including alliances, nationalism, militarism, and imperialism. It then discusses some experiences of the war like trench warfare and America's entry into the war in 1917. It concludes with summaries of the Treaty of Versailles, which split up countries and imposed penalties on Germany.
Chapter 14 wwi
Woodrow Wilson advocated for neutrality and honesty in international affairs as tensions rose in Europe prior to WWI. The main causes of the war included militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist triggered Austria-Hungary's declaration of war on Serbia and aligned nations, starting WWI. While the US initially remained neutral, events like the sinking of the Lusitania and revelations in the Zimmerman Telegram turned American public opinion against Germany and led to the US entering the war in 1917 on the side of the Allies.
Close The Gaps: French and Indian War
The document summarizes key people, places, events, and terms related to the French and Indian War. It discusses tensions between Britain and France over land and resources in North America, which led to war being declared in 1756. Benjamin Franklin proposed the Albany Plan to unite the 13 colonies for mutual defense, but it was rejected over fears of a central government. The war had theaters in North America and Europe, called the Seven Years War. Key battles included the British defeat of French General Montcalm at Quebec. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 ended the war, with France ceding land and Spain giving Florida to Britain. This led to Native American uprisings against the British.
Veteran's day in flander's field
This document discusses Veterans Day and the poem "In Flanders Fields". It notes that on November 11, 1918, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the armistice was signed ending World War I. The poem "In Flanders Fields" was written in 1915 by John McCrae after witnessing the carnage of WWI. It describes the poppies growing between the crosses marking the graves of soldiers and calls on the living to continue fighting for those who died.
WWII Total War
The document discusses Canada's entry into World War 2, noting that Prime Minister Mackenzie King did not want to get involved in another war but knew conscription would divide the country. He had hoped appeasement would work but by March 1939 it was clear appeasement failed as Hitler took Czechoslovakia, making war seem inevitable. In September 1939, after Germany invaded Poland, Canada declared war on Germany, joining Britain and its allies in World War 2.

During a May 1939 visit, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth rallied support for Britain. On September 1, 1939 Germany invaded Poland, leading Canada to declare war on Germany on September 10, 1939.
Why the US Entered WWI on the Side of the Allies
Mexico did not formally enter World War 1 on either side. Mexico was facing internal political instability and a revolution during World War 1 and maintained neutrality.
The war of 1812
After gaining independence, the United States became an important trading nation but faced attacks on its merchant ships by both Great Britain and France during their wars. Between 1804-1807, over 700 American ships were lost to British attacks and 200 to the French. In 1812, frustrated by the losses and encouraged by settlers in the Northwest Territory who feared the British in Canada, President Madison declared war on Great Britain. The war went badly for the US at first as the British captured Detroit. However, Commodore Perry's victory over the British fleet on Lake Erie allowed the US to maintain control of the Northwest Territory. Not succeeding there, the British attacked Washington D.C. in 1814, burning down the White House and the Capitol
Lusitania and zimmerman conspiracies
The document discusses the events leading up to the United States entering World War I on the side of the Allies against Germany. It provides context around the naval arms race between Britain and Germany, the sinking of ships like the Lusitania that killed Americans, and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram proposing a German alliance with Mexico against the U.S. While there was debate in the U.S. over entering the war, the document suggests British manipulation may have influenced American involvement for economic reasons, though others saw German actions as provocations necessitating joining the fight.
War of 1812
The document outlines key events of the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain, including Britain's invasion of Ft. Mackinac in 1812, battles at York, Lake Erie, and Horseshoe Bend in 1813-1814, the British burning of Washington D.C. in 1814, battles at Plattsburgh and New Orleans later in 1814, and the signing of the Treaty of Ghent to end the war in December 1814. Tensions between the two countries included British naval impressment and interference with American shipping.
Gregory history
President Woodrow Wilson led the United States during World War 1. Germany used submarines ("u boats") to try to gain control of the seas which angered Americans. The Zimmermann note, where Germany proposed an alliance with Mexico if the U.S. entered the war, further pushed Americans to join the Allies in World War 1.
Modern World History
The document discusses several impacts of major historical events like the Great Depression and World War II. During the Great Depression, unemployment overwhelmed benefits and many lost their homes and jobs in an economic downturn. In World War II, propaganda encouraged early enlistment, women worked in factories to support the war effort, and Germany's defeat at Stalingrad was a major turning point for the Allies.
