Causes of World War I
Background Information
World War I did not start for one particular reason. People often say that it began with the assassination of Austria-Hungary’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist group, which is true, but is not the only reason. This assassination caused Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, beginning a war that would turn into WWI. This was not the only cause though, in fact, this event was just the catalyst (event that started things) the European countries needed to fight a war which was just waiting to happen.
In Europe, the conditions were just right for a world war to begin; they just needed the right push. During the early 1900’s European defense agreements were being made across the continent. These agreements said that if one country was attacked or had war declared on them, another country would come and help them. Below is a list of some of the main defense agreements:
Serbia and Russia
Austria-Hungary and Germany
Russia and France
France, Belgium, and Britain
Britain and Japan
After Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia these defense pacts started to go into action. Russia joined, causing Germany to get involved, which brought France into the war, and so on. This turned a war between two countries over an assassination, into a war that involved multiple countries spread over multiple continents.
Another cause of WWI had to do with the mentally of the countries in Europe. Many of the countries in Europe had a feeling of nationalism, which is a feeling that your country is the best, along with the desire to prove this to everyone else. When the war began, the defense agreements brought multiple countries into the war, but the feelings of nationalism helped keep everyone fighting and trying to prove they are the strongest.
The idea of militarism is another cause of WWI. This is the belief that a country should build and keep a strong military (army, navy, etc.). As a result of militarism, when countries started declaring war on each other, most of these countries already had a strong military just waiting to be used. Not only was the military read to go, the governments and citizens of the country wanted to use it and show their power.
A final thought process which led to WWI was that of imperialism. This idea of imperialism, which is a belief a country should extend their power and influence through diplomacy or force, already had countries looking for ways to increase their influence. Prior to WWI starting, countries in Europe were trying to expand their lands in Africa and Asia, due to their imperialist mindsets, which were causing tension in the region. WWI was just the event these countries needed to spread their influence, increase their power, and fulfill their imperialistic ideas.

bro not even gon cap this is too much,

what aspects of German American culture did other Americans find threatening?
What forms did anti-German hostility take?

Answers

Answer:

For German Americans, the 20th century was a time of growth and consolidation; their numbers increased, their finances became more stable, and Americans of German heritage rose to positions of great power and distinction. For German American culture, however, the new century was a time of severe setbacks--and a devastating blow from which it has never fully recovered.

The coming of World War I brought with it a backlash against German culture in the United States. When the U.S. declared war on Germany in 1917, anti-German sentiment rose across the nation, and German American institutions came under attack. Some discrimination was hateful, but cosmetic: The names of schools, foods, streets, and towns, were often changed, and music written by Wagner and Mendelssohn was removed from concert programs and even weddings. Physical attacks, though rare, were more violent: German American businesses and homes were vandalized, and German Americans accused of being "pro-German" were tarred and feathered, and, in at least once instance, lynched.

Ten Little Hyphens

The most pervasive damage was done, however, to German language and education. German-language newspapers were either run out of business or chose to quietly close their doors. German-language books were burned, and Americans who spoke German were threatened with violence or boycotts. German-language classes, until then a common part of the public-school curriculum, were discontinued and, in many areas, outlawed entirely. None of these institutions ever fully recovered, and the centuries-old tradition of German language and literature in the United States was pushed to the margins of national life, and in many places effectively ended.

President Woodrow Wilson spoke disapprovingly of "hyphenated Americans" whose loyalty he claimed was divided. One government official warned that "Every citizen must declare himself American--or traitor." Many German Americans struggled with their feelings, realizing that sympathy for their homeland appeared to conflict with loyalty to the U.S.

Some German Americans reacted by overtly defending their loyalty to the United States. Others changed the names of their businesses, and sometimes even their own names, in an attempt to conceal German ties and to disappear into mainstream America. Ironically, and contrary to Wilson's opinion about divided loyalties, thousands of German Americans fought to defend America in World War I, led by German American John J. Pershing, whose family had long before changed their name from Pfoerschin.

General John Pershing with the 2nd Division, Germany, 1919

Fifteen years later, the shadows of a new war brought another surge in immigration. When Germany's Nazi party came to power in 1933, it triggered a significant exodus of artists, scholars and scientists, as Germans and other Europeans fled the coming storm. Most eminent among this group was a pacifist Jewish scientist named Albert Einstein.

Anti-German feelings arose again during World War II, but they were not as powerful as they had been during the first World War. The loyalty of German Americans was not questioned as virulently. Dwight Eisenhower, a descendant of the Pennsylvania Dutch and future president of the United States, commanded U.S. troops in Europe. Two other German Americans, Admiral Chester Nimitz of the United States Navy and General Carl Spaatz of the Army Air Corps, were by Eisenhower's side and played key roles in the struggle against Nazi Germany.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower

World War II, industrial expansion, and Americanization efforts reinforced the cultural assimilation of many German Americans. After the war, one more surge of German immigrants arrived in the United States, as survivors of the conflict sought to escape its grim aftermath. These new arrivals were extremely diverse in their political viewpoints, their financial status, and their religious beliefs, and settled throughout the U.S.

German immigration to the United States continues to this day, though at a slower pace than in the past, carrying on a tradition of cultural enrichment over 400 years old—a tradition that has helped shape much of what we today consider to be quintessentially American.

The region of the country that supported Jackson as a candidate were the southern and middle states (Adams won most of New England).

This is likely because New England voters were more oriented towards Adams' support of the industrial interests of the New England states. Jackson drew votes from the southern and middle states because of their agriculture economies. He appealed to the average citizen of the U.S. at the time; most were farmers who would not see any benefit in Adams' push for commercialism. Jackson was the more appealing candidate.

Explanation:

if you had to analyze a text written by someone involved in the ratification debate, how would you be able to distinguish between a text written by an Anti-Federalist and one written by a Federalist?

Answers

Answer:

The main difference between Federalists and Anti-Federalists at the time of the ratification of the Constitution of the United States was in the powers that the federal government would have compared to those of the states.

Thus, the Federalists defended the idea of a strong and comprehensive federal government, as described in the articles of the Constitution. In turn, the Anti-Federalists feared that this strong government could trample on the rights of citizens and state governments, thus fighting for the adoption of amendments that would guarantee these rights: the Bill of Rights.

Therefore, all writing that promoted a broad federal government and with great prerogatives would be Federalist, while all writing that defended the rights and powers of the states in particular would be Anti-Federalist.

To identify the people involved, the federalists would be in favor of the central government, while the anti federalist would oppose having a strong central government.

Who were the federalists

These were the founding fathers that were in support of the United States having a central form of government tnat controlled the states.

Who were the antifederalists

These groups did not want a strong federal government. They wanted a government were the states would have great power.

Has antisemitism changed over time

Answers

Answer:

actually yes

Explanation:

in the old ages the Jews basically ruled Jerusalem (hence the name) and people hated them for the way they treated the people there, not their religion. When Hitler came to power many years later after they had lost the rule of Jerusalem people started hating them for the way they horded money and their religion. Now people just hate them for their religion.

So yes antisemitism has changed over time.

This was very considerate in her, to say he least, and a proof that 'like begets like. He had often considered her feelings, though not always, and she was equally considerate. When her master saw her, he said, 'Well, Bell, so you've run away from me.' 'No, I did not run away I walked away by day-light, and all because you had promised me a year of my time.' His reply was, 'You must go back with me.' Her decisive answer was, "No, I won't go back with you

Explain the Columbian Exchange effects on the Eastern and Western Hemsiphere

Answers

Answer:

Exchange of plant and animal species, but also certain negative phenomena.

Explanation:

"With Europeans' arrival on the soil of North America, there was an exchange of certain plant and animal cultures. However, that contact also had negative connotations. Europeans also brought certain infectious diseases such as the flu and smallpox to which the natives did not have a developed immune system. These diseases have decimated, in some cases, the entire tribal communities of North America.

When we talk about exchanges of plant and animal species, Europeans took over potatoes, tobacco, tomatoes, corn, and some other crops from the natives. On the other hand, the natives got acquainted with wheat, onions, and pigs, and horses."
