History

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.

One reason why the British soldiers fired on the Boston colonists during the Boston Massacre was because their were objects being thrown at them. These soldiers were harassed by an angry mob and hit by objects while protecting the Customs Office in Boston.

Another reason why the British soldiers fired on the colonists were because they were afraid of what might happen. Colonists, at this time, rebelled constantly against any symbol of the British government. This included tax collectors, who were tarred and feathered by colonists. These soldiers could have been worried that the colonists might attack them physically.

Aristophanes, in an attempt to satirize the war, imagines a world in which the women of Athens are able to solve one of society’
Makovka662 [10]

Lysistrata, the representative of the women, argued that women and children are always at the receiving end whenever war ensues. She told the magistrate that men abandon their wives and children during war to pursue an unnecessary military career, which makes their wives and children to suffer severely.

They are persuasive arguments because she was able to convince the magistrate who in turn condemned the men for not adequately monitoring their wives.

Another type of love that was expressed in the play was Mania-obsessive love. This is evident from the fact that the women found it difficult to control themselves and had to go back to their men for sex.

Pragma- enduring love, was also another type of love expressed in the play because the men were very determined to continue sexual affairs with their wives despite continual denial.
