Wilson & the peace treaty 5
The Treaty of Versailles established the terms of peace after World War I. It was negotiated at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 and signed by Germany under duress. Key terms included Germany accepting full responsibility for starting the war, losing territory and colonies, and paying extensive reparations. The treaty also established the League of Nations but failed to gain ratification in the U.S. Senate, as Wilson suffered a stroke while campaigning for its approval.
Wilson & the peace treaty notes 21
The document summarizes key events around the Treaty of Versailles after World War 1. It describes Wilson's 14 Points plan and role in negotiations.

American foreignpolicy 1920to1941
American foreign policy in the period from 1920-1941 was characterized by tensions between isolationism and interventionism. Several key events influenced this, including the rejection of the Treaty of Versailles, attempts at naval disarmament with allies, and debates around supporting European debts post-WWI. The US passed a series of Neutrality Acts in the 1930s in response to fascism's rise in Europe and Japan's aggression in Asia, though support grew for aiding allies as Germany and Japan continued expansionism into the late 1930s. Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 ended isolationism and brought the US fully into World War II.
Causes of world war 2
World War 2 was the bloodiest conflict in history. It was caused by four main factors: 1) The harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles signed after WWI upset Germany. 2) Hitler's secret rearmament of Germany in violation of the treaty. 3) The failure of the appeasement policy of Britain and France to curb German aggression. 4) The inability of the League of Nations to effectively address conflicts due to lacking enforcement powers and slow decision making.
End of wwi & treaty of versailles
The document provides background information on World War 1 and the Treaty of Versailles. It details the timeline of WWI from 1914-1919, including when countries entered and exited the war. It also lists the total forces mobilized and casualties for both the Allied and Associated powers and the opposing Central powers. The Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919 following Germany's defeat. It held a conference where the Allied powers determined the peace terms for Germany and its allies without their participation. Key issues negotiated included assigning war guilt, reparations payments, restrictions on Germany's military, the fate of Germany's colonies, and the establishment of a League of Nations.
Week Eleven Lecture
The document summarizes the rise of Nazism in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. It describes how the Nazis came to power in 1932, disbanded parliament, and gave Hitler dictatorial powers. Hitler then outlawed other political parties and persecuted Jews, Gypsies, and leftists. Germany began militarizing again in violation of the Treaty of Versailles and expanded territorially through annexation. The US initially demilitarized after WWI but began rearming in the late 1930s in response to the growing Axis powers and threats to democracy. FDR delivered a 1941 speech pledging to support democratic countries and make America an "arsenal for democracy."

League Of Nations Summary 1930\ S
The document discusses why the League of Nations failed in Manchuria and Abyssinia. In Manchuria, Japan invaded in 1931 and the League took a long time to respond, appearing weak. Germany then left the League and began openly rearming. In Abyssinia, Italy invaded in 1935 and the League could not agree on effective sanctions, with Britain and France seeking a secret deal. The League was seen as powerless and irrelevant against the actions of dictators like Japan, Germany, and Italy.
Unit 4 lesson 1 from isolation to involvement
This document provides an overview of key events and terms related to the early years of World War II and the debate in the United States over intervention. It describes Germany's rapid military conquests across Europe from 1938 to 1941 using blitzkrieg tactics, Britain's resistance against German air attacks, and the growing alignment of Allied and Axis powers. It also explains how Roosevelt advocated increasing support for the Allies through policies like cash-and-carry and lend-lease, while isolationists opposed greater involvement, leading to heated debates in the U.S. The summary ends with Germany attacking U.S. ships and war seeming inevitable.
Causes wwii
The major causes of World War II included the punitive Treaty of Versailles, the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany under Mussolini and Hitler, Japanese expansionism in Asia, the worldwide Great Depression, anti-communism, appeasement of aggressors, militarism, extreme nationalism, and American isolationism in the interwar period. Key events weakening resistance to aggression included Germany's rearmament, occupation of the Rhineland, annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia, and the Nazi-Soviet pact enabling the invasion of Poland. The major Allied and Axis powers were poised for global conflict.

The document provides an overview of World War II, including key facts, dates, leaders, causes, and events. It notes that the war cost the US $330 billion, 10 times the cost of WWI, and that 50 million people died total compared to 15 million in WWI. The underlying causes included the harsh Treaty of Versailles, the worldwide depression, the rise of totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany, and the isolationism of major powers like the US that led to appeasement policies. Hitler initially demanded the return of German-speaking lands, and through invasion and diplomacy acquired Austria, Czechoslovakia, and parts of Poland by 1939. The US provided aid to allies through policies like lend-lease and signed the Atlantic Charter

The Build up to War
Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany after capitalizing on resentment over the weak Weimar government and Great Depression. He became chancellor in 1933 and established a Nazi dictatorship. Initially improving the economy, Hitler rapidly instituted racist policies, stripping Jews of rights and encouraging attacks. By 1939, seeking to expand German territory and pursue racial ideology, Hitler had invaded Poland, starting World War II after Western democracies failed to counter German and Italian aggression through appeasement or an ineffective League of Nations.
The US Enters the War
The document summarizes key events leading up to and during the US entry into World War 2, including Japan building an empire through militarism and invading China in the 1930s, straining relations with the US. In 1941, the US froze Japanese assets and embargoed oil and scrap metal exports to Japan, making war inevitable. On December 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii using aircraft carriers, severely damaging the US Pacific fleet and bringing the US into World War 2.
Treaty of Versailles
The document discusses Wilson's Fourteen Points and his goal of creating a League of Nations after World War 1. However, Wilson faced opposition from Congress and was forced to compromise on the Treaty of Versailles. Ultimately, Wilson's refusal to accept reservations to the treaty led to its defeat in the Senate. This doomed America's participation in the League of Nations.
Abyssinia-LON
The document discusses a political cartoon drawn in 1935 by David Low commenting on Mussolini's invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia). It provides context for the cartoon, noting that Mussolini invaded claiming he would bring them "civilization." Students are asked to explain what is depicted in the cartoon and its message regarding the invasion.
America and World War II
This document provides context on America's status after WWI, including its isolationist stance. It discusses FDR's foreign policy approach and his "Good Neighbor" policy in Latin America. It outlines the rise of dictators like Mussolini in Italy and Hitler in Germany, and factors that contributed to Hitler's rise to power. It discusses European appeasement of Hitler and failures of the League of Nations. It also summarizes events in Asia, including Japan's invasion of Manchuria in the 1930s.
World War II Part 1
World War II was caused by nationalism, militarism, imperialism, and unresolved territorial issues from World War I. Germany resented the Treaty of Versailles and persecuted Jews. Japan wanted to expand its military rule into Asia. The US initially pursued isolationism but increased support for Allies through arms sales and Lend-Lease Act. The US entered the war in 1941 after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, bringing America into the fight against Germany and Japan.
Sec 3N Hist (Elec) Chapter 5.1: Germany's Defeat (USA's entry)
The document discusses Germany's defeat in WWII and the role of the US entry into the war. It provides context on US isolationism prior to entry, including neutrality acts and cash-and-carry policies. While the US initially pursued isolationism, factors like the Lend-Lease Act in 1941 and the Pearl Harbor attack ended this and brought the US into the war. The US then contributed vast resources, manpower, and collaborated with allies on military strategies like bombing of cities and D-Day. However, the document notes the defeat also had causes like German weakness and Allied resistance, so the US entry was likely one of several key reasons for Germany's defeat rather than the sole main cause.

Wilson campaigned for ratification in the U.S. but faced opposition and the treaty was ultimately rejected by the Senate, leaving the U.S. isolated from European affairs in the postwar period.
Victory And Peace
After the Russian Revolution and Lenin taking power, Russia withdrew from World War 1 through the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in March 1918. This allowed Germany to focus on the Western Front, but they were weakened and pushed back by July 1918 with help from fresh American troops. Germany's allies then began to surrender, and revolutions in Germany and Austria-Hungary ended their war efforts. An armistice on November 11, 1918 ended the fighting, but peace negotiations at Versailles lasted until 1919 and were contentious, with Clemenceau wanting harsh terms for Germany and Wilson wanting a lasting peace. The resulting Treaty punished Germany severely and redrew borders in Europe.
Victory and peace updated
By early 1918, Russia had withdrawn from World War I due to internal revolution and the new Bolshevik government signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. With Russia out of the war, Germany was able to focus its forces on the Western Front, advancing to within 40 miles of Paris by May 1918. However, the Allied powers, bolstered by fresh American troops, halted the German advance. Germany's allies then began withdrawing from the war, and unrest among German troops led Germany to sign an armistice on November 11, 1918, ending the war.

End of WWI- McDowell
By 1917, both sides in World War I had resorted to defensive warfare as neither could launch a successful massive attack. There was growing discontent and mutinies in the British and French armies. Russia experienced several military defeats under Czar Nicholas II's weak leadership, which led to the November Revolution and the Bolsheviks seizing power under Vladimir Lenin. Russia then signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany to exit the war. Germany's own resources were depleted by shortages of food and supplies, and its final offensive in 1918 failed. On November 11, 1918, Germany agreed to an armistice to end the fighting based on U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's proposed Fourteen Points for negotiating a

world war-1
World War I began in 1914 due to rising nationalism, imperialism, and militarism in Europe that led to the formation of opposing alliances. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand triggered Austria-Hungary's declaration of war on Serbia and aligned countries. The U.S. remained neutral until 1917 when Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare and tried to enlist Mexico as an ally against America. The U.S. joined the Allies in April 1917 and helped turn the tide of the war. An armistice in 1918 ended the fighting and the Treaty of Versailles established the League of Nations but assigned blame and heavy reparations to Germany.
World War One. Conclusions and Restoring Peace
After WWI, the Allied powers and Germany negotiated the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. The treaty imposed harsh terms on Germany, including war guilt, military limitations, and territorial losses. It failed to reconcile the countries or establish lasting peace. The US Senate rejected American participation in the League of Nations, leaving the country isolated. Radical groups conducted bombings in the postwar unrest, leading to a crackdown on suspected communists under the Palmer Raids. Overall, the treaty settlements exacerbated tensions instead of healing wounds from the war.
World War One. Conclusions and Restoring Peace
After WWI, the Allied powers and Germany negotiated the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. It imposed punitive terms on Germany to weaken its military and required it to pay extensive reparations. While Woodrow Wilson advocated his 14 Points plan for a just peace, the treaty largely ignored it and helped sow resentment in Germany. The negotiations also redrew borders in Europe, creating new states but leaving some populations unsatisfied and tensions remained high.
End of wwI
The war on the Western Front had reached a stalemate by 1918, with neither side able to gain significant ground. This changed when the Russian Revolution forced Russia to withdraw from WWI, allowing Germany to focus its resources on the Western Front. Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare, sinking ships with American civilians onboard and further angering the United States. The intercepted Zimmermann Telegram, proposing a German-Mexican alliance against America, led the US to declare war on Germany in April 1917. With American supplies and troops aiding the Allies, Germany launched a final offensive in 1918 but ultimately failed as their resources dwindled, public support waned, and they could no longer match US involvement. Germany surrendered in November 1918.

The document summarizes key aspects of the Treaty of Versailles signed in 1919 after World War 1. It discusses the main leaders involved - Wilson, Lloyd George, and Clemenceau - and their differing views on punishing Germany. The treaty terms included war guilt, reparations, loss of territory such as Alsace-Lorraine returning to France, and restrictions on Germany's military. The effects included German resentment fueling support for Hitler, while the US became isolated in the following decades. Germany made its final reparations payment in 2010, 92 years after initially being required to pay.
CAMBRIDGE IGCSE HISTORY: THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES
The Treaty of Versailles was the most important of the peace treaties that brought World War I to an end. The Treaty ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I signed separate treaties. Although the armistice, signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919.
Wwi act ii
By 1917, World War I had been raging for three years between the Allied and Central powers in Europe. The United States initially remained neutral, but public opinion began to shift as German U-boats sank American ships and the German government offered an alliance to Mexico. In April 1917, the United States officially entered the war on the side of the Allies. Over the next year and a half, American troops under General John Pershing helped tip the scales in favor of the Allies. An armistice was signed in November 1918, ending four years of devastating conflict.
End Of War
World War I ended with Germany agreeing to an armistice in November 1918. The Paris Peace Conference then established the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, imposing harsh terms on Germany. It forced Germany to accept war guilt, pay large reparations, lose territory, and face military restrictions. While establishing the League of Nations, the treaty dissatisfied Germany and other nations, sowing seeds for future conflict.

This document provides an overview of World War 2 history covering several key events and figures:
1) It discusses the rise of fascist regimes in Italy under Mussolini and Germany under Hitler in the 1930s as they violated the Treaty of Versailles and aggressively expanded their territories, which European leaders initially appeased.
2) Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939 prompted Britain and France's declaration of war on Germany, starting World War 2 in Europe. Germany then quickly conquered Western European countries in 1940.
3) Britain remained defiant against Germany under Winston Churchill, narrowly evacuating troops from Dunkirk after the Fall of France. The Battle of Britain saw German air attacks on Britain repelled that year.

America drawn to war 3
The document summarizes the key events that drew the United States into World War I despite President Wilson's initial goal of neutrality. It discusses Wilson's 1916 campaign slogan of keeping the U.S. out of the war. It then lists several events that unfolded and proved too difficult for Americans to ignore, including the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 and the Zimmerman Telegram in 1917, which led Wilson to ask Congress to declare war on Germany in April 1917 in order to "Make the World Safe for Democracy."
Usa in wwi 4
The United States mobilized for war after declaring war on Germany in April 1917. The government implemented selective service, raised income taxes, and launched bond campaigns to fund the war effort. Over 4.8 million troops were drafted or volunteered. In June 1917, American troops began arriving in France under General John Pershing. The Americans helped turn the tide of war, engaging in important battles and offensives in 1918 before Germany signed an armistice on November 11, 1918, ending the war. Over 116,000 American soldiers died during World War I.
World war i 1
World War I was a global war centered in Europe that began in 1914 and lasted until 1918. It involved over 30 countries and resulted in over 15 million deaths. The war started due to increasing nationalism, imperialism, militarism, 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 Serbian nationalists. The war was fought mainly in trenches along the Western Front and resulted in new weapons and military technology but little movement in the battle lines. The United States entered the war in 1917 on the side of Britain, France, Russia, and Italy against Germany and its allies. The war ended with the defeat of

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
