Triple Alliance were made up of the countries of Italy, Germany and Austria-Hungary.  \nIt was orginally designed in 1879 as the Dual Alliance, made up of the countries of Germany and Austria-Hungary.  In 1882, Italy joined, thus the name Triple Alliance.\nwww.spartacus.school.net.co/uk/FWWtriple.htm\nThe Triple Entente was made up of Russia, Britain, and France.\nwww.spartacus.school.net.co/uk/Fwwentente.htm\nEach pact was made up of three countries.  No more, no less. Good luck.\n\nPS ALAYNA  When did you ever crack that book? j/c

World War I \n1914—18, also known as the Great War, conflict, chiefly in Europe, among most of the great Western powers. It was the largest war the world had yet seen. \nProminent causes were the imperialistic, territorial, and economic rivalries that had been intensifying from the late 19th cent., particularly among Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia, and Austria-Hungary.\n\nWorld War II \n1939—45, worldwide conflict involving every major power in the world. The two sides were generally known as the Allies and the Axis. \nThis second global conflict resulted from the rise of totalitarian, militaristic regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan, a phenomenon stemming in part from the Great Depression that swept over the world in the early 1930s and from the conditions created by the peace settlements (1919—20) following World War 1.

Wow, that's an indepth question to ask.\n\nFor starters, World War I completely reshaped the map of Europe and parts of the Near and Middle East.  The Austrio-Hungarian Empire was divided into Czechoslovakia, Hngary, Yugoslavia, and Austria; parts were also given over to Romania and to Italy.  The Ottoman Empire was divided into British and French Mandates, forming Iraq, Palestine, and Jordan for the British and Syria and Lebanon for the French, as well as the independant state of Turkey.  The Russian Empire was separated into Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland.  The German (Prussian) Empire was divided as well, with part of their territories going to create the Polish Corridor, giving Poland access to the North Sea, an allotment was also made to Czechoslovakia, Blegium, and, of course, the German independant state.\n\nSome of the statistical information concerning World War I is as follows:\n\n-10 million soldiers dead\n-6.6 million civilians dead\n-21 million wounded\n-8 million MIA (Missing In Action) or POW (Prisoners of War)\n-Cost of War appx. $180 billion\n-Other Costs in Relation ~ $150 billion\n\nThere was also a mass movement of displaced people as their homes were utterly destroyed in the wake of the war.\n\nIn terms of politics, the ultimate loss of Russian troops allowed for the successful usurpation of the government by the Communist party.  Since Europe's economy was trashed, the United States became the dominant power in the world financially and wound up being the largest lending agent for the restoration of Europe.  France, bitter at their ultimate defeat, wanted Germany to be punished for its role in the war, which successfully undermined Woodrow Wilson's attempts to settle the Versailles treaty without instilling a sense of anger in the Germans unsuccessful.  Germany was forbidden to have a standing military, and felt betrayed by its high command (Jews, Liberals, Socialists), and combined with the effects of high unemployment created a perfect breeding ground for Hitler and the Nazi party to emerge later.  Italy did not get all that it asked for -- a mutilated victory -- which opened the door for Facism and Musilini.  Britain, with the creation of the Mandates in the Middle East, made a grab for the oil industry.  The Bourgeoisie class was elevated, which mostly eliminated the power of the Aristocracy, which, combined with a deteriorated economy, weakened the strength of Imperial Colonialism and set the stage for the dismantling colonial states held by European states all over the world.\n\nThe full repercussions of World War I would not be felt until World War II with the rise of Nazi Germany and Facist Italy.  The end of the war left countless dead and/or missing and/or displaced, German divided between western powers and those of Russia, who had taken over most of the countries that would later become the USSR.  This set the stage for the Cold War, which would last until the early ninties after the fall of the Berlin Wall.  The Holocaust left over six million Jews dead and the remainder displaced.  As a result, many Jews migrated to Palestine, which soon after became Isreal, a nation backed by the west and resented by Muslims everywhere, thus creating tensions between the Middle East and the Western nations.  The advent of the first atomic bomb would also set off a long series of discussions on the US's use of nuclear technology against Japan.  The United Nations also formed as a result of World War II; their first conferences were held in San Francisco (mostly so the NSA could tap the other delegates' phone lines and listen in on other conversations being held).  The Cold War resulted in the Arms Race, and the decision of the US government to simply out-spend the Russians and drive their economy into the ground, slowly deteriorating the basis for their system of government.  Really, we have not seen all the final effects of World War II, though some of the major politica

The industrialisation of warfare had a great impact on World War I. Your essay should explore:\n\n* use of modern factories to meet the need of the combatants on the field and logistics - one of the reasons Russia dropped out was the failure to meet demands of the troops for example;\n\n* use of railways to transport troops to the front;\n\n* use of modern technology such as aircraft and tanks for the first time - it was their use in an integrated manner by  Allied commanders such as Sir John Monash of Australia that would eventually lead to victory in 1918;\n\n* growing role for Government: Government's share of GDP exceeded 50% in Germany and France and appraoached that in the UK and introduction of higher tax systems such as income tax to finance the war.

The First World War, or (before 1939) the Great War, was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice on November 11, 1918. The Allied Powers (led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia , and, after 1917, the United States) defeated the Central Powers (led by the German Empire, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire). \n\nThe Allies won.

Here are a couple:\n\n1. Development of Canadian nationalism:\n\nDespite all of the people that Canada lost in the First World War, there were many battles in which Canadians fought valiantly. Canadians became known for their bravery and strength, and we began to see ourselves as a nation separate from Britain, capable of accomplishing our own goals. Specifically, you should look into the battle at Vimy Ridge and Ypres.\n\n2. The war caused women's roles to start to change. Look for facts about:\n\n-More Canadian women in the workforce.\n-The Canadian suffragist movement.\n\nPerhaps you might also want to say something about how the war was a pre-cursor to the Roaring Twenties in Canada, or how the war helped us to industrialize.

Its true...on the eve of Dec 24 , 1914 a truce was haggled out between British and German soldiers, and in many places along the western front, it lasted until the end of the day on the 26th. Many witness accounts were written, but perhaps the most telling of all of it was how it happened.\nIts lost to history just what was said to whom beyond the battlefield, but this was primarily lower ranked soldiers and the highest ranking officer was a German. Christmas morning 3 shots were fired into the air by a British sergeant and a white flag went up with "Merry Christmas" written on it, well, the enemy replied with a flag( all of about 50 yards apart), saying "thank you". Then a few Germans stepped out unarmed, as did a few British. What took place for the next 24 or so hours is really quite bazaar, but kinda romantic( if you will..).\nThere was impromptu soccer matches, gift exchanges, and even jokes...one of them was about a Brit' who asked a German if he wanted a cigarette...the German replied "Virginian?", to which the British soldier replied "aye", the German soldier said "No thx, I prefer Turkish!"...apparently this caused a huge laugh from all there.\nAlso, the Germans sang Carole's, and when asking the British to sing, one Brit said..."We'd rather die than sing German!"..., and the German yelled back..."Well, we'll surely be dead over here if you do!"  Again laughter erupted across that field...\nIts really awesome to hear of these events and the remarkable impact such a small thing could have on men who'd wanna kill one-another, but for the greater good of the moment, it proved to be the most significant thing to happen to some of the men who were there.

G'day A B,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThe end of World War I saw the US recognised as a major power for the first time. It became the world's greatest creditor unlike today. It had relatively few casualties with 53,402 battle deaths and 63,114 other deaths in service.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

We only call it World War 1 now, in retrospect.  If there had not been a World War 2, it would have made no sense to call an earlier war WW1.  Just think of video games, is there ever a game called "Something 1"?  No, because they can never be sure that there will be a second one.  We may call the first Sims "Sims 1" but only now, after Sims 2 has been released.  An exception to this is Kill Bill, in which the movie was originally intended to have multiple parts.\n\nSo WW1 was "The Great War" because it was supposed to be "The war to end all wars," they didn't think another one would ever happen.  But it did, as we know now.  \n\nOn a side note, some historians believe that the Napoleonic war was the true WW1, which would make what we call WW1 into WW2, and Hitler's war would be WW3, but really... it's just names.

WWI began in 1914.  Germany is regarded as the primary agressor, but nationalist sentiments played a big role in all European countries, and there was great enthusiasm for the war on all sides.  Germany was allied with Austria-Hungary and Turkey (then known as the Ottoman Empire) against Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and later the United States (Japan also made small contributions on the allied side in order to seize German overseas posessions).  The U.S. entered in 1917, after Germany adopted a policy of unresctricted submarine warfare which was striking at U.S. shipping interests (including the supply of munitions to Britain) and inflicting civilian casualties.  The war ended on November 11th 1918. The uneasy peace which followed set the stage for all the major 20th century problems, from WWII, to the rise of communism, to the Balkan Wars, to the current tensions in the middle east. Bummer.

Well, let's say country a and country b decide to go to war with each other. Let's also pretend that coutry a has an alliance with coutries c, d, and e and that country b has an alliance with coutries f, g, and h. Since countries a and b are at war, coutries c-h have to help their respective allies to keep the alliance intact. (This is actually how WWI got started.) Does that make sense?
