PLEASE I NEED HELP AND IT NEEDS TO BE 4 PARAGRAPHS why did world war I last so long?

andrew-mc [135]

Hmm, I kinda can’t help with 4 paragraphs BUT I did look this up “A land stalemate: contrary to the expectations of several parties, the war just couldn’t be finished with a one-two punch combination: for the Germans, it was Paris, then Russia. The Entente, in particular the French, had their own one-two punch combination (Plan XVII) that was a catastrophic failure. All sides kept on fighting, forcing each other into a static war all sides knew it would be very difficult to win (therefore, their respective one-two punch strategy).
A strategic stalemate: the German invasion of Belgium meant that the equilibrium of power would be broken until this country would be restored to its position as a buffer, and with Germany unwilling to cede control of Belgium (for its own strategic reasons[1]) meant that the Entente just could not cut a deal with the Central Empires. This meant…
…a diplomatic stalemate: without the will to compromise, the situation kept going as long as the combatants were willing to fight to keep their strategic goals, rejecting several attempts to reach a ‘peace without victors of losers’, as Pope Benedict XV proposed to the combatants in August 1917.
Finally, there was the domestic situation: all powers had invested a lot of efforts to convince the respective populations that only victory would make all these sacrifices worthwhile. The situation was particularly difficult in Germany: unlike the Entente, with far more democratic governments who could always place the decision to end the war on the population’s desires, the far more authoritarian German Empire could only blame its leadership for the failure: not winning the war would mean, not the fall of the government and an election, but the collapse of the entire system and the destruction of the upper level of its political class, by exile or death.[2] Austria-Hungary was in a similar, but even worse situation: not winning the war would be the fall of the Habsburg dynasty, together with the destruction of the Empire as institution.” This is from quora

"[A] bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse."
 - Thomas Jefferson, December 20, 1787

In the summer of 1787, delegates from the 13 states convened in Philadelphia and drafted a remarkable blueprint for self-government -- the Constitution of the United States. The first draft set up a system of checks and balances that included a strong executive branch, a representative legislature and a federal judiciary.

The Constitution was remarkable, but deeply flawed. For one thing, it did not include a specific declaration - or bill - of individual rights. It specified what the government could do but did not say what it could not do. For another, it did not apply to everyone. The "consent of the governed" meant propertied white men only.

The absence of a "bill of rights" turned out to be an obstacle to the Constitution's ratification by the states. It would take four more years of intense debate before the new government's form would be resolved. The Federalists opposed including a bill of rights on the ground that it was unnecessary. The Anti-Federalists, who were afraid of a strong centralized government, refused to support the Constitution without one.

In the end, popular sentiment was decisive. Recently freed from the despotic English monarchy, the American people wanted strong guarantees that the new government would not trample upon their newly won freedoms of speech, press and religion, nor upon their right to be free from warrantless searches and seizures. So, the Constitution's framers heeded Thomas Jefferson who argued: "A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference."

The American Bill of Rights, inspired by Jefferson and drafted by James Madison, was adopted, and in 1791 the Constitution's first ten amendments became the law of the land.

Why did so many nations want to find the northwest passage?

Dvinal [7]

Many nations wanted to find the U.S passage, because they wanted to find a quicker route to Asia. They thought going around Africa was way too long and going across the Mediterranean Sea was too expensive and risky. They thought that sailing west would get them to Asia in no time. In reality, it was North America and they would have to go much farther in order to get to Asia, but they did not know that back then.
