PLEASE HELP, HISTORY!!!! What were the terms behind Germany's surrender during WWI?

1 answer:

4 0

The reason why Germany surrendered during WWI was because of many factors. Germany was bound to lose the war, so they decided that they didn't want to continue with the war. Germany was in a HUGE shortage of food, due to the fact that the Allies made a blockage that blocked incoming food supplies from getting into the battle field, and without food, the soldiers can't fight the war because they will be starving. No enemies were near Germany's borders, while there were Germany soldiers that were in the Allies territories, so that means that Germany can't aid the soldiers because they would be going too far from their territory, or the land they conquered. Because of all of this, Germany's hopes for winning the war has fallen, and signed an armistice with the Allies.

What was the primary reason the united states rejected the treaty of versailles?

jonny [76]

The correct answer is A: <em>The Senate feared that the treaty would take away their constitutional right to declare war.</em>

The Treaty of Versailles was a formal peace treaty between the World War I Allies (Britain, France, Italy, and the United States) and Germany their enemy during the war. The then-majority leader of Senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, a Republican who came from Massachusetts, rejected the treaty, especially on the section about the League of Nations the primary reason being the fear that this would take their constitutional right to declare war. His reasons were that the U.s. would lose its power to the League of Nations.

The Treaty of Versailles became the formal peace treaty that ended World War I between the Allies and Germany.

Harrizon [31]

It's hard to define a decisive turning point in Greek history as there were many.

However, one that really might stand out apart from the rest was their wars with the Persians. They were successful in their defence against a Persian invasion, an invasion of an empire that was drastically bigger than the combined Greek lands.

CHRONOLOGY

Japan, 1800–1900 A.D.

Overview

In the nineteenth century, Japan experiences a dramatic shift from the conservative, isolationist policies of the shōgun-dominated

Edo period

to the rapid and widespread drive to modernize and engage with the rest of the world that characterizes the Meiji Restoration. During the first half of the century, decades of fiscal and social disruption caused by the growth of a market economy and a complex monetary system in a country that is still officially based on agriculture, which supports both the farming and privileged but unproductive

samurai classes

, continues to weaken the country in general and the

Tokugawa regime

in particular. Increasingly aggressive intrusions by Western powers not only puts pressure on Japan but convinces its political leaders that the Seclusion Policy has limited the country’s participation in technological advances and worldwide changes and also handicapped the economy by restricting its involvement in global trade. Taking advantage of the disruption caused by these internal and external crises, in 1867 several powerful daimyo (regional warlords) band together and overthrow Shōgun Yoshinobu (1837–1913), forcing him to resign authority. Marching into the imperial capital Kyoto, they “restore” Emperor Mutsuhito (1852–1912) to power and establish the Meiji (“enlightened rule”) Restoration.

In the name of Emperor Meiji, numerous striking and far-reaching social, political, and economic changes are legislated through a series of edicts. Japan also opens its borders, sending several high-ranking expeditions abroad and inviting foreign advisors—including educators, engineers, architects, painters, and scientists—to assist the Japanese in rapidly absorbing modern technology and Western knowledge. Throughout the century, however, the drive to Westernize is paralleled by continued isolationist tendencies and a desire to resist foreign influences. Eventually, as has happened numerous times in the nation’s history, after the Japanese assimilate what has been borrowed, they use these imports to formulate a new but distinctly Japanese modern society.
