World War
Introduction to World War
• World War took place from 1914 to 1919
• Europe was divided into 2 distinct rival group, the
Central Power and the Allied Power.
• The Central Power consists of Germany, Austria-
Hungary and the Ottoman Empire.
• The Allied Power consist of Britain, France, Russia
and Italy
• The stiffness of these 2 groups caused a war,
known as the World War, because Franz Ferdinand,
the Archduke of Austria Hungary, was assassinated
• The war originally affected Europe. But it
eventually caused more than 30 country to get
affected. The war caused about 10000000 people
to die. The war was slowly going to Singapore.
Impact of World War in Singapore
• Decrease in trade
• Inflation of food price
• Internet security threat
Decrease in trade
• The Emden, a German warship arrived at the East in 1914
which affected trades in Singapore and Europe.
• The warship would attack the British trading ship when
they arrived the Indian Ocean.
• This caused a decrease in the entrepot trade and the
importing of food from other countries.
• An Australian warship, HMAS Sydney, destroyed the
warship a few months later.
• The traders are scared of being attack by the warship
which made them dare not come to Singapore to trade
Inflation of food price
• The people in Singapore panicked when they knew that the
world war occurred. They are afraid that because of the war,
there will be food shortage which made them buy as many
food supply as possible
• The people from the neighboring country also bought food and
kept at their stores
• The food price start to increase drastically because they kept
buying food
• The government decided to stop the exporting of a large
amount of food to other neighboring country
• The government also imported more rice from Siam and
Vietnam so that there is enough food for everyone
Internet threat security
• After the German warship was destroyed, the
British instructed those sepoys to go to Hong Kong
• Rumors about the sepoy going to Turkey to kill the
Malays are constructed.
• When the sepoys are instructed to go to Hong
Kong, they decided to rebel the Europeans.
• The rebellion is known as the Sepoy Mutiny.
• Mutiny refers to the up rise against the authorities.
The mutineers then kill all the European they see
but was stopped by the British after 10 days
• During the mutiny, the local people did not support
any of the sepoy because many Indians in
Singapore didn’t go for the mutiny or support them.
• The Sikh police is still loyal towards the British
government and did not go for the mutiny
• The British realized that they cannot be careless to
let something like that happen
• They also realized that any form of threats, internal
or external, could affect Singapore’s economy
