Topic : “Historical roots: in search of the history that unites us. Great social events”.
The document provides background information on the causes of World War I, including militarism, alliances, nationalism, imperialism, and assassination. It discusses key events that led to the outbreak of war in 1914, such as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Germany declaring war on Russia and France, and the invasion of Belgium. It also summarizes some major battles of WWI on the Western and Eastern Fronts, including the First Battle of the Marne in 1914, the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915, the Battles of Verdun and the Somme in 1916, and the German offensives and breaking of the Hindenburg Line in 1918.
This document provides a biography of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first president of the Republic of Turkey. It discusses his early life and education in the late Ottoman Empire. It describes his military career fighting in World War I and the Turkish War of Independence. It outlines his establishment of a new secular republic and implementation of various political, social, and economic reforms. The document emphasizes Atatürk's commitment to education and modernization as the key to rebuilding the new nation of Turkey.
The document summarizes the unification of Italy and Germany in the 19th century. For Italy, Cavour of Piedmont worked with France against Austria to drive them from northern Italy. Garibaldi then helped unify the south. For Germany, Bismarck used Prussian military strength to defeat neighboring states and force unification under Prussian leadership by 1871 after defeating France in the Franco-Prussian War.
World War I began on July 28, 1914 and lasted until November 11, 1918. It involved many of the world's major powers divided into two opposing alliances: the Allies including Britain, France, and Russia, and the Central Powers including Germany and Austria-Hungary. The war was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Serbian nationalists, which caused Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia and aligned countries to join the fighting. Over 10 million soldiers and civilians lost their lives in the war before an armistice was signed and the Treaty of Versailles ended the war.
Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power in France during the French Revolution. He established himself as the Emperor of France and expanded French territory across Europe through military conquest. At the height of his power, Napoleon controlled a vast empire stretching from France to Russia. However, his invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous and marked the beginning of his decline in power. After being defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena, where he died in 1821. His reign significantly influenced the development of nationalism and the modernization of legal codes across Europe.
The Ottoman Empire experienced a long decline due to both internal and external factors. Internally, the empire had an oversized and inefficient bureaucracy, inept rulers, a traditional economy that rejected new technologies, and oppression of religious minorities. Externally, new trade routes weakened the Ottoman economy, European powers developed militarily and economically, and subject nationalities sought independence. Reform efforts were often blocked by conservatives and failed to sufficiently modernize the empire's institutions. This decline earned the Ottomans the name "The Sick Man of Europe".
The revolutions of 1848 saw uprisings across Europe seeking liberal reforms and national independence. Revolutions broke out in cities like Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Milan. However, the revolutions ultimately failed due to several factors. They did not attract widespread support from workers and peasants. As revolutions turned more radical, the middle class withdrew support. Nationalist goals divided rather than united in places like Germany and Italy. Where revolutions succeeded temporarily, the old ruling elites were left intact and moved to reassert control. By 1850, the pre-revolutionary political order was largely restored across Europe through direct military intervention or co-optation of liberal gains.
The French Revolution began on July 14, 1789 when protesters stormed the Bastille prison in Paris. This marked the start of widespread civil unrest against the absolute monarchy of King Louis XVI. Inequality, high taxes on the poor, and a financial crisis contributed to growing discontent with the existing social and political system. The Revolution led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy and a declaration of rights that embraced principles of liberty, equality and popular sovereignty. However, internal divisions and war with other European nations led to increased radicalization and the rise of Maximilien Robespierre's Jacobin dictatorship during the Reign of Terror from 1793-1794. The Revolution transformed France from an absolute monarchy to a

The Congress of Vienna met in 1814-1815 to redraw the map of Europe in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. It was attended by representatives of the main European powers of Austria, Prussia, Russia, Britain and France. The Congress was largely dominated by the Austrian statesman Klemens von Metternich, who believed in restoring the old monarchical order and resisting revolutionary forces. The goals of the Congress were to maintain the balance of power in Europe, contain French power, and legitimize existing governments. It established a system through which the major powers could collectively intervene to suppress future revolutionary movements, helping maintain peace in Europe for decades. However, it also represented a deliberate step back from the democratic and liberal
The Ottoman Empire rose to power in the 14th century under Osman I and grew to control vast territories across the Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East, and North Africa by the 15th-16th centuries. It reached its peak under Suleiman the Magnificent, controlling most of Southeast Europe. However, the empire began a slow decline in the 17th-18th centuries due to economic problems, weaker central control, and less effective Sultans. By the early 20th century, the Ottoman Empire had collapsed with the formation of modern Turkey in 1922.
The French Revolution was caused by social inequalities, unfair taxation that burdened the poor, and new Enlightenment ideas that inspired the people to seek change. The Revolution began in 1789 when the Third Estate formed the National Assembly and took the Tennis Court Oath to write a constitution. This led to unrest, the storming of the Bastille prison, and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. However, revolutionary violence increased in the following years as the monarchy was overthrown and King Louis XVI was executed. Maximilien Robespierre then rose to power and instituted the Reign of Terror from 1793-1794, executing over 40,000 people with the guillotine before he too was over
The document provides an overview of the French Revolution which began in 1789 and ended in 1799. It discusses the social inequalities and economic troubles that led to the outbreak of the revolution. Key events included the storming of the Bastille prison, the abolition of feudalism and the monarchy, and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. However, internal conflicts and war with other European powers led to increased radicalism and the rise of Maximilien Robespierre and the Jacobins. This resulted in the "Reign of Terror" and the execution of Louis XVI, though Robespierre was later overthrown as well. The revolution profoundly transformed France and established the ideals of liberty, equality and fr
The French Revolution occurred from 1789 to 1799 and overthrew the French monarchy and feudal system. It established France as a republic and introduced principles of citizenship and inalienable rights. The revolution was caused by famine, rising debt, taxation, and failure of reforms under the monarchy. It involved the storming of the Bastille fortress in Paris, the establishment of a National Assembly, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. The revolution eventually spiraled into the Reign of Terror led by Robespierre, with thousands executed by guillotine before his own fall from power. Napoleon later took control of France and established himself as emperor.
The document summarizes the history of British rule in India through the East India Company. It describes how the EIC was granted trading rights in India in the early 1600s which expanded into territorial control over key ports and regions. Two key historical turning points were highlighted: the Battle of Plassey in 1757, which marked the EIC's military ascendancy over local rulers, and Tipu Sultan's resistance in the late 1700s, which was ultimately defeated by the EIC and its Indian allies. The document discusses both positive impacts of British infrastructure development as well as negative aspects like exploitation of resources, famines exacerbated by tax policies, destruction of local industries, and violence and cruelty during the colonial period.
The document provides information about the causes and events of the French Revolution. It discusses the social, economic, political, and intellectual factors that contributed to the revolution. Key events discussed include King Louis XVI calling the Estate General in 1789, the formation of the National Assembly, the storming of the Bastille, and the rise of Maximilien Robespierre and the Jacobins. The document also summarizes the reign of terror under Robespierre and the overthrow of his dictatorship, as well as the later rule of Napoleon Bonaparte.
International peace collapsed by 1939 due to the failures of the treaties ending World War 1 and the League of Nations in the 1930s. The treaties imposed harsh terms on Germany, fueling resentment. Germany, Italy, and Japan increasingly remilitarized in violation of treaty terms while Britain and France failed to respond effectively through the League. Hitler pursued aggressive foreign policies including remilitarization of the Rhineland, annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia, and signing a pact with the Soviet Union. Britain and France pursued a failed policy of appeasement until invading German troops ignited World War 2 with the invasion of Poland in 1939.
World War 2 lasted from 1939 to 1945 between the Allied forces and the Axis powers. It began when Germany invaded Poland and resulted in unprecedented casualties with over 60 million deaths worldwide. The war redrew European borders and led to the formation of the United Nations to promote peace. It also marked the end of dictatorships in Europe and established the U.S. and Soviet Union as global superpowers, laying the foundation for the Cold War.
Rise of Fascism in Italy - Mussolini and the fascist party took advantage of the economic and political instability following World War 1 and the Treaty of Versailles to rise to power in Italy. Key events included the "March on Rome" in 1922 and Mussolini being appointed as Prime Minister. He then consolidated power by banning opposition parties and establishing a dictatorship with himself as Il Duce.
World War II was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved most nations of the world forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The war began with Germany's invasion of Poland and ended with the surrender of Nazi Germany and Japan after the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Over 70 million people were killed during the war, making it the deadliest conflict in human history. Key turning points included Germany's defeat on the Eastern Front by the Soviet Union and the Allied invasion of Normandy leading to the collapse of the Axis powers.
The document summarizes the revolutions that occurred across Europe in 1848. Known as the "Springtime of Peoples," the revolutions were sparked by various economic, social, and political tensions in the years leading up to 1848. Revolutions broke out in key areas like France, the German states, Italy, and the Austrian Empire, though they had varying levels of success and most were ultimately crushed by conservative forces. The revolutions failed to achieve long-lasting change and instead strengthened conservative rule across Europe.
Imperialism is very similar to colonialism, with one major difference: colonial powers settle the countries of which they gain control, while imperial powers do not. The term “imperialism” does not seem to exist prior to the 1800s. Nineteenth-century imperialism was spurred in large part by the Industrial Revolution. The development of new industrial economies in the 1700s and 1800s necessitated the acquisition of raw materials and the desire to gain control of marketplaces; thus, by the mid-1800s, imperialistic actions of strong nations (most notably European nations) started to become policy.

The documents discuss the unification of Italy and Germany in the 19th century. Italy was divided into many small states controlled by Austria and the Papal States. Nationalist figures like Giuseppe Mazzini, Camillo Cavour, and Giuseppe Garibaldi helped lead the Risorgimento movement for Italian unification. Garibaldi conquered Southern Italy and his forces joined with northern Italian troops led by Cavour to drive out Austrian forces, resulting in a unified Italian state by 1871. Germany was divided until Otto von Bismarck used war and diplomacy to defeat Denmark, Austria, and France, uniting the German states under Prussian leadership by 1871.
The document outlines several key causes that led to the start of World War 2 in Europe, including the harsh Treaty of Versailles that left Germany humiliated after WWI. This led to the rise of fascism under Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany. Hitler aggressively expanded German territory by remilitarizing the Rhineland and annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia through appeasement by Britain and France. The Great Depression created economic hardship and unstable governments. Japan also increasingly expanded its empire into China. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany, marking the start of World War 2.
Bismarck successfully unified Germany in 1871 and then pursued a policy of maintaining peace in Europe through a complex web of alliances including the League of Three Emperors and the Dual Alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary. His diplomacy was aimed at isolating France and preventing the formation of any alliance against Germany. By 1890, Bismarck had maintained peace in Europe for nearly two decades through skillful statesmanship, but increasing tensions and his resignation weakened Germany's position as other powers sought to alter the balance of power.
The document provides an overview of the French Revolution including its key causes, events, outcomes, and legacy. It discusses the social, economic, and political causes of the revolution including the division of French society into estates, the country's growing debt, and the influence of Enlightenment philosophers. Major events covered include the storming of the Bastille, the Tennis Court Oath, and France becoming a constitutional monarchy with limits placed on the monarchy's power. The document also mentions the introduction of rights like equality before the law and the revolutionary wars that further strained France's economy.
The document provides an overview of the Interwar Period from 1919-1939. It summarizes that after World War 1, hopes for peace failed as the Russian Revolution led to Stalin's regime in Russia and the 1929 stock market crash triggered a global economic depression. During this time, totalitarian regimes like fascism in Italy under Mussolini and Nazism in Germany under Hitler rose to power and imposed cruel dictatorships through repression of opposition and harsh racism and nationalism.
Imperialism involved stronger nations dominating weaker countries politically, economically, and socially through colonialism, spheres of influence, and protectorates. There were several types and causes of imperialism in the 19th century, including seeking new markets and resources, civilizing missions, and Social Darwinism. European imperialism resulted in the colonization and exploitation of much of Asia and Africa during this period.
The presentation is about First World War. it's causes, devastation and name and force of the central powers and allied powers. The consequences and peace treaties which came into force through world war 1 in world history. It will be helpful for students of political science, public administration and international relations.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was the founder and first president of Turkey. He was born in 1881 in Salonika and lost his father at a young age, which forced him to leave school. He later attended military schools and had a successful military career, becoming a commander in the Turkish War of Independence against occupying powers after World War I. Atatürk established the Turkish Grand National Assembly in 1920 and was elected its president. After several military victories, the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 recognized Turkey's independence. Atatürk established the Turkish Republic and implemented radical reforms to modernize the country before his death in 1938.
The document provides a history of Turkey from ancient times to the modern era. It discusses the various empires and groups that ruled Anatolia, including the Hittites, Greeks, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans. It then focuses on the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who introduced sweeping political, social, economic, and cultural reforms to modernize the new nation.

Topic : “Historical roots: in search of the history that unites us. Great social events”.
The document provides an overview of Turkish history from the 11th century origins of the Ottoman Empire through the establishment of the modern Republic of Turkey. It summarizes the rise and expansion of the Ottoman Empire between the 12th-15th centuries, its peak in the 15th-16th centuries, and then periods of stagnation, decline, and loss of territory through the 19th-20th centuries. It highlights Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's leadership of the Turkish War of Independence after World War I that established the Republic of Turkey in 1923 and his subsequent reforms that modernized and secularized Turkey.
The Napoleonic Wars were a series of conflicts between 1799-1815 in which France, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, fought various European countries. Napoleon rose to power during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns. The wars involved nearly all European nations and changed the nature of warfare. They established France as the dominant military power on the continent until Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo in 1815.
The Ottoman Empire began to lose power in the 16th century after a succession of weak sultans took over following the death of a strong ruler in 1566. Corruption and financial issues plagued the empire. When Selim III came to power in 1789 he tried to modernize the military, but it was too late as European powers were already grabbing territory. Egypt initiated reforms in the 19th century to modernize its military and economy and avoid European domination, but ultimately fell under British control due to its large debts from modernization projects like the Suez Canal.
The document discusses the crisis of the imperial order in Europe and the Middle East from 1900-1929. It describes the decline of the Ottoman Empire and European meddling in its affairs. It also discusses the Young Turks movement that advocated for centralized rule and Turkification. Additionally, it summarizes that the three main causes of WWI were nationalism, the system of alliances and military plans, and Germany's desire to dominate Europe.

The Italian dictator Mussolini decided to conquer Greece in 1940 after Germany conquered much of Europe under Hitler. On October 28, 1940, Mussolini demanded that Greece surrender ports, roads, and other assets, but Greece refused. The Italians began bombing Greek outposts and crossed the border, but the Greek army launched counterattacks, liberating cities in Albania. In spring 1941, the Italians attacked again but failed. Germany then invaded Greece on April 6, 1941, overwhelming the exhausted Greek forces. Greece suffered under occupation until its liberation on October 12, 1944.
The Ottoman Empire began in 1299 in present-day Turkey and gradually expanded through conquest over the following centuries to control large portions of Europe, Africa, and Asia. At its peak under Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century, the empire encompassed Southeast Europe, Western Asia, the Caucasus, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. However, the empire then began a long period of decline due to overextension, economic troubles, and military defeats. It allied with the German Empire and Austria-Hungary in World War I but was defeated, and the empire was dissolved in the War of Independence and Treaty of Lausanne in 1922-1923.
The document provides a detailed biography of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first president of Turkey. It discusses how he emerged as a military hero and later led Turkey's war of independence. As president for 15 years, he introduced sweeping reforms to modernize Turkey and establish a secular republic. His achievements transformed Turkey and established it as a model for other emerging nations. Atatürk dedicated his life to creating a modern, democratic Turkey and is revered as the father of his country.
1312 11 The Middle East, Asia, and The AmericasDrew Burks
The document provides an overview of political and social developments in the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas between the late 18th century and early 20th century. It discusses the decline of the Ottoman Empire and rise of Muhammad Ali in Egypt; British rule in India; European colonialism in Southeast Asia, China, and Japan; independence movements and conflicts in Mexico and South America; expansion of the United States; and systems of oppression including treatment of indigenous groups and slavery.
The document summarizes key events in the Risorgimento, the 19th century movement for Italian unification and independence. It describes early nationalist sentiment in the 1830s-1840s, the Five Days of Milan uprising against Austrian rule, and Carlo Alberto's failed war of independence in 1848. It then discusses the formation of nationalist societies like the Società Nazionale in Turin and the roles of figures like Cavour, Garibaldi, and Mazzini in later military campaigns against Austria culminating in the proclamation of a united Kingdom of Italy in 1861, though it did not include Veneto, Trentino, or Rome at first.
Imperialism and Nationalism are often incongruous concepts that exis.pdfarorasales234
Imperialism and Nationalism are often incongruous concepts that exist simultaneously in a given
context. During the period after WWI, nationalism was used to create new states in Europe and
the Middle East. Although these nations were recognized as independent, self-governing states,
they were either directly or indirectly connected to previously existing states. Discuss the ways
which Nationalism influenced the formation of new states. In your discussion, speak to the role
of imperialism to uphold, hinder or complicate the formation or survival of these states. Is it
possible to separate imperialistic goals from nation building? Support your argument with
evidence.
Solution
The First World War saw the colonial empires of France and Britain mobilised to aid European
and imperial war efforts. This mobilisation and the difficulties of demobilisation placed
considerable strain on imperial systems which were only partly addressed through post-war
reforms. The Great War also unleashed an unprecedented ideological challenge to colonial rule
embodied in the ideas of Woodrow Wilson which took form through the mandatory system.
Although there were some restrictions placed on the activities of the colonial powers, both
Britain and France maintained their imperial rule, often violently suppressing anti-colonial
nationalist challenges.
From a colonial perspective the First World War did not end cleanly. Major combat operations
on the Western Front may have ceased on 11 November 1918, but a raft of smaller conflicts,
some of which had emerged out of the upheavals of 1914-1918 and others which were only
tangentially related to the Great War, lingered on into the immediate post-war years. For
example, it was not until spring 1919 that, rather belatedly, German efforts launched at the start
of the war to stoke an Afghan challenge to the British Raj actually bore fruit. The Third Anglo-
Afghan War was more than just a continuation of the seemingly interminable struggle between
British imperial and Afghan forces along India’s north-western frontier. It was, in part, the
continuation of Germany’s Weltkrieg, an attempt to globalise the European struggle of 1914-
1918 in order to distract the Entente powers from the main theatre of operations.[1]
Unfortunately for Wilhelm II, German Emperor (1859-1941), the German army was defeated on
the Western Front before this globalisation of the war could achieve its aim of forcing the British
to choose between a European victory and their empire.
The Third Anglo-Afghan War was not an isolated event in the wake of the First World War.
Indeed, the decade following 1918 saw a major inter-state conflict being replaced by myriad
smaller ones, often within collapsing states and imperial polities. This was a point not lost on
contemporaries. In particular it was noted by, and arguably defined the thinking of, the arch-
pessimist of Britain’s post-war situation, General Sir Henry Wilson (1864-1922), the British
army’s Chief of the.
The document summarizes the aggressive foreign policies and expansionism of fascist regimes in the 1930s and 1940s, including Japan's invasion of China, Italy's invasion of Abyssinia, and Germany's annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia. It led to the formation of the Axis alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan and the outbreak of World War 2 with Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939. The war engaged most nations around the world and resulted in over 50 million deaths before the Allied powers of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States defeated Germany, Italy and Japan between 1942-1945. Europe was left devastated as the world transitioned to a new geopolitical landscape dominated by the two new super
France had an inconsistent relationship with Great Britain until the 19th century when they aided each other during World War 2. Two influential French leaders were Aristide Briand, who sought to eliminate war internationally, and Charles de Gaulle, a skilled military leader who eventually became president. France's government alternated between republican and imperial rule throughout this time period and experienced both losses and gains of power.
The document discusses conflicts in the Middle East, including:
1) The Ottoman Empire ruled the region for centuries before collapsing after WWI.
2) Ataturk modernized Turkey in the 1920s-30s by banning traditional dress, establishing a secular government, and adopting the Latin alphabet.
3) Conflicts have arisen from terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda, disputes over nuclear programs in Iran and Iraq under Saddam Hussein, and the founding of Israel amid regional Arab-Israeli tensions.
The document summarizes World War 1 campaigns in Africa and the Middle East between 1914-1918. In Africa, Germany lost its colonies of Togoland, Kamerun, and South West Africa to British, French, Belgian and South African forces within a year. The lone success was in German East Africa, where Colonel Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck tied up large Allied forces but ultimately surrendered in 1918. In the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire sided with Germany and faced off against British, French, Russian and Arab forces in campaigns including Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, and Sinai-Palestine, before ultimately being defeated by 1918. The victors redrew the maps of Africa and

The Second Italo-Ethiopian War, also referred to as the Second Italo-Abyssinian War, was a war of aggression which was fought between Italy and Ethiopia from October 1935 to February 1937.

The Ottoman Empire ruled over three continents for 623 years, beginning in 1299 after Osman Bey conquered many Anatolian principalities. The Empire came to exist when Mehmet the Conqueror took Istanbul in 1453, connecting Asia and Europe and ending the Middle Ages. It then expanded to North Africa under Selim I and reached as far as Vienna under Suleiman the Magnificent, governing large portions of Europe, Asia and Africa. The Empire constructed monuments across its lands and tolerated diverse religious and ethnic groups.
Turkish people originated as nomadic herders in Central Asia but some groups like the Huns and Uygurs established governments and struggled with China for control over the Silk Road, an important trade route. Over time, some Turkish tribes like the Huns migrated westward into Europe, with some settling in areas that became modern-day Hungary, named after the Hunnic Turks.

4. MUSTAFA KEMAL decided to travel across
Anatolia and carry on his struggle, and collect a
new army as he understood that a political
solution against the invaders who were oppressing
the Istanbul Government was not possible.
5. The Turkish resistance movements were transformed into
a complete war of independence when MUSTAFA KEMAL
landed at Samsun as the Inspector of the 9th Army on 19
May 1919. It achieved success against the armies
supported by the large countries of the world and under
very difficult conditions.
6. Southeastern Anatolia:
invaded by the French and
Italian.
Central Anatolia: Left for
Turks.
Mediterranean: Invaded by
the French, Italian, and the
British.
Aegean: Invaded by the
Greeks.
Marmara, straits and Istanbul:
Invaded by the allies.
The situation in Anatolia, as of May 19,
1919 when Ataturk landed Samsun was as:
7. MUSTAFA KEMAL immediately
started to organize a national
resistance and got in touch with all
the army units and local resistance
organizations in Anatolia.
8. The negotiations, which restarted in April 1923,
resulted in the signing of the LAUSANNE
TREATY ON JULY 24, 1923. The treaty
recognized the creation of a Turkish State with
virtually the same borders as those of the
National Pact of 1920 and guaranteed her
complete independence.
9. Thus, it marked the successful
culmination of the National
War of Independence.
On October 29, 1923, the
Grand National Assembly
proclaimed the Republic of
Turkey.
ATATURK was elected as the
new Republic’s first president
unanimously.
