History

creativ13 [48]2 years ago
6 0

This is the biggest question you could have asked about the First World War. The reason is because this is STILL under debate to this day. That being said here goes with some of the causes:

1) Imperialism – Britain still had an Empire at the beginning of WW1. Most of the other European nations had one too. Hey were very jealous of this and wanted a piece of the action. This caused tension between us and the other nations.

2) Complex relationships – At the beginning of WW1, all of the royalty of Europe was related to each other. Each country had different non aggression, mutual co-operation, and various other agreements. This made the situation a whole heap more difficult with how to navigate when conflict came to the service.

3) The Death of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand – this is widely considered to the the catalyst for the start of the WW1. Without his death, the other nations would not have declared war (OR would have been at a different date)

Effects are:

1) Warfare changed forever – The first effects of the machine gun were seen. No more were there Calvary charges, and a whole new perspective of warfare was created. Military was no more about men running with guns, it was about artillery and more.

2) War Fatigue – People started to not want to go to war (In Britain at least). It changed out ideas on everything,. For the first time PTSD (Shell Shock) was brought to the front. Warfare was no longer looked at with the same rose tinted glasses.

3) Germany being ripped apart – The treat of Versailles was written with a lot of bitterness. I don't want to go into this to much as we already know the effect on Germany.

4) Drove technology forward – War always springs technology forward like nobodies business, and WW1 showed what technology could do on the battlefield.

Explain how Columbus was able to sail to the west in order to get to the east
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Between 1492 and 1504, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus led four Spanish-based transatlantic maritime expeditions to the Americas. These voyages led to the widespread knowledge of the New World. This breakthrough inaugurated the period known as the Age of Discovery, which saw the colonization of the Americas, a related biological exchange, and trans-Atlantic trade. These events, the effects and consequences of which persist to the present, are sometimes cited as the beginning of the modern era.

Explanation:

Born in the Republic of Genoa, Columbus was a navigator who sailed for the Crown of Castile (a predecessor to the modern Kingdom of Spain) in search of a westward route to the Indies, thought to be the East Asian source of spices and other precious oriental goods obtainable only through arduous overland routes. Columbus was partly inspired by 13th-century Italian explorer Marco Polo in his ambition to explore Asia and never admitted his failure in this, incessantly claiming and pointing to supposed evidence that he had reached the East Indies. Ever since, the islands of the Caribbean have been referred to as the West Indies.

At the time of Columbus's voyages, the Americas were inhabited by Indigenous Americans. Soon after first contact, Eurasian diseases such as smallpox began to devastate the indigenous populations, which had no immunity to them. Columbus participated in the beginning of the Spanish conquest of the Native Americans, including by enslaving and brutally treating groups of them in the range of thousands. The exact figures and accuracy of some of the accounts of these events are still debated, in part due to an alleged historiographical disinformation campaign.

Following Columbus's death, in 1507, the Americas were named after Amerigo Vespucci, who realized that these continents were a unique landmass. The search for a westward route to Asia was completed in 1521, when the Castilian Magellan-Elcano expedition sailed across the Pacific and reached Southeast Asia, before returning to Europe and completing the first circumnavigation of the world.
