There are some differences between WWI and WWII

<u>WW1</u>:

- The start of the war was because of the assassination of the Archduke of Austrio-Hungary, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife by a Serbian.

- The war escalated with nations keeping their promises to come to each other's aid in war.

- Germany was not the aggressor. In fact, the government of Germany tried to stop the war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia.

- Technological advance in military was extremely great, with the invention of military bi- and tri- planes, tanks, and others, as well as the advancement in other technology, such as artillery, rifles, etc.

- Japan was part of the Allied Power, taking over German colonies in the Pacific, which later served as part of her empire.

- The War was fought in fronts, with the common ones known as "Western" and "Eastern" Fronts.

- The war built up slowly, even starting as soon as Great Depression, which led to the creation of Fascist & Nazi Government.

- Because of either harsh conditions implemented, or not given what they wanted, Japan, Italy, and Germany allied together with other lesser powers to become what is now known as the Axis Power.

- The war was mostly mobile, with little-to-no battle fought with trenches.

- France was defeated, and was split into a group known as "Free French", which fought for French liberation, and "Vichy French", or the puppet government of France under German control.

- The first nuclear weapon was created, and was used in Alamogordo, New Mexico, as a test, and the next two used on Hiroshima Prefrecture, Honshu, Japan, and the other used on Nagasaki Prefrecture, Kyushu, Japan.

- The Allies implemented a less harsh treaty to the Axis sides, but punished war crimes extermely.

How does the constitution lay the framework for individual rights and a balanced representative government

harkovskaia [24]

The Constitution lays the framework for individual rights in the first ten amendments of the Constitution (also known as the Bill of Rights).

In the Bill of Rights, US citizens are guaranteed a significant amount of rights. This includes the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to bear arms, right to a jury trial, and freedom of press (to name a few). These are constitutional rights that citizens will have as long as the Constitution remains in use.

The Constitution of the US also creates a balanced government. This is thanks to the three branches of government. This includes the legislative, judicial, and executive branches. All three of these branches have different roles. Along with this, each branch has the ability to check each others power. This ensures that no one part of our government will be too strong.

Olegator [25]

The South relied heavily on steamboats for transportation of supplies and troops. They absolutely needed the Mississippi River to be effective in anyway during the war. The North also used it for transporting, but they had railroads. They were mostly concerned with keeping the South from using it.
