How did the two WW change the History of the world both Eastern and Western?WWI?

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 3rd WW will be different from the 1st and 2nd. It may already have started. Iraq fighting USA and its allies (most of the developed world) is one example. We could add in Afghanistan and Iran. Turkey is drawn into it because of the Kurds. The Russians are still fighting the Chechen's and others. Israel has been fighting its neighbours for 60 years. There are many battles going on in Africa. The Chinese, Koreans and Japanese are the not the best of friends. India and Pakistan have been fighting in Kashmir for years. The list is a long one. \nWhat is the third world war about: People use religion as an excuse but it is not religion. It is about ignorance and stupidity. The best example of this the USA.

Wow, just ignore the previous post. Someone has their wars mixed up.\n\nThe United States was neutral during WWI because they felt that this was a European conflict, and none of their business. What drew us into the war was a German U-boat attack on a US ship.

The world ...?  Hence the name WORLD War 1 ...?\n\nMostly Europe, but included parts of Asia - Turkey, Russia, the Near East - and North Africa.  The United States came in during the last few years, but East Asia and South America stayed that one out.

World War I (abbreviated WWI), also known as the First World War, the Great War and "The War to End All Wars" was a global military conflict that took place mostly in Europe between 1914 and 1918. It was a total war which left millions dead and helped to shape the modern world.\n\nThe Allied Powers, led by France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and later Italy and the United States, defeated the Central Powers: Austria-Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire.\n\nMuch of the fighting in World War I took place along the Western Front, within a system of opposing manned trenches and fortifications (separated by a "no man's land") running from the North Sea to the border of Switzerland. On the Eastern Front, the vast eastern plains and limited rail network prevented a trench warfare stalemate from developing, although the scale of the conflict was just as large. Hostilities also occurred on and under the sea and — for the first time — from the air. More than nine million soldiers died on the various battlefields, and millions more civilians perished.\n\nThe war caused the disintegration of four empires: the Austro-Hungarian, German, Ottoman, and Russian. Germany lost its overseas empire, and states such as Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia were created, or recreated, as was the case with Poland.\n\nWorld War I created a decisive break with the old world order that had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars, which was modified by the mid-19th century’s nationalistic revolutions. The results of World War I would be important factors in the development of World War II 21 years later.

Hear of it? lol! Turkey was (not all that long ago) one of the biggest and longest running superpowers on Earth!\n\nBear with me, and I'll explain what I mean as briefly as I can: A lot of people don't get what the two world wars were all about.  Some young and silly might think these wars were mainly about the Jews!  Others might guess that it was Germany, Japan and Italy (for a while) against everyone else.  Probably the best way to understand the two biggest wars the planet has ever seen is to consider what the world was like before and after.\n\nWe all know that the USA ended the world wars with the first weapons of mass destruction: the two Nuclear Bombs.  The ONLY time these have been used.  The US Americans joined the war late and took advantage of the global situation to further their own aims -- the USA wanted rid of Imperialism.\n\nFunnily enough, AFTER the world wars, there was NO imperialism left. None at all!\n\nTURKEY before the world wars was a superpower that had been around for almost a thousand years and was known as THE IMPERIAL OTTOMAN EMPIRE -- a massive and influential Islamic/ Moslem empire involved in the Crusades.\n\nThe US Americans saw off The British Empire, The Ottoman Empire, The Japanese Empire, the Chinese Empire, The Austro-Hungarian Empire.... etc.\n\nAfter the US Americans rid the world of the evil empires, they turned to the evil Communists and started the 'cold war', as Communism is much reduced by the end of the USSR (in large part due to Ronald Reagan's Star Wars etc), the US Americans have trouble looking for an evil enemy to oppose -- the are presently fighting 'Terror', but it's mainly another Crusade (Christian vs Moslem).\n\nTurkey was one of the oldest civilisations, certainly one of the cleverest -- it is a stunningly beautiful country of amazing history and cities -- and is now part of The European Union. And rightly so, what an influence on Southern Spain's architecture, music, food etc.\n\nIt has a climate similar to Italy and Greece, and has been extremely popular as a tourist destination for Brits in particular for many years because it has hot weather, exotic bazaars, counterfeit goods, great beaches, kebabs (of course), and is reached by plan in a couple fo hours!\n\nIt is certainly well worth putting on your places to visit before you die list.

World War 1 is a big one.  Australia became  a federation (1901), Russian revolution.

Bosnia played a major role in the outbreak of WWI. The main causes of WWI were the following: The assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand, Opposing alliances, nationalism, militarism, and imperialism.\n\nBosnia played a major role as it was a Serbian nationalist group called the Black Hand who murdered the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary.\n\nIf you want anymore help on WWI, you can email me at skaur1290@yahoo.com.

Not too good truth be told.\n\nAfter World War One the rest of the world really screwed germany. They made all kinds of outragous claims on German lands and money. The economy was in the crapper and the politics of the day were doing nothing to change the situation. \n\nThere were millions with out work and inflation was sometimes 700% a day. Money had no real meaning and the masses were living under the boot of the Allies.\n\nThen in 1932 all hell broke loose.\n\nWhen the Nazi party came into power the first things they did was tell the allies to kiss off. They rebuilt their army and restored a national pride. These things helped feed the people and get the country back up on it's feet. \n\nI have been told that you would not worry about the politcs of the man who feeds you when you are starving. And the Nazi rule in Germany showed this.\n\nWhen you are full, happy and have your pride you can do much. And they did. But as history shows things got WAY out of hand and the now proud people were lead to a very scary place by some very scary people.\n\nTaking Cezch was easy and the invasion of poland wasn't that hard. But what was to come was a real wake up call for the world.\n\nSo the 1930's was a great time of change in Germany. In those 10 years germany would go from a beaten nation steped on and looted by the world to a superpower that almost took over europe.

The standard reason is, better administrative control over the Empire.  In reality, it was probably because East and West had too many differences, and the leadership of both halves would have been at each other's throats had it not split.

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.

What did world war did ?\nIt set the stage ready for WW II , it put the world in a very severe economical crisis, had the dead as result for millions of men, the outbreak of the Spanish flue was spread around the world with the return of the solders to there country's in 1918. \nIt also had as effect that many things where faster developed that normal like the airplanes for example.\n\nto Wetlake 85 Belgium didn't attack Germany we just defended our country because Germany invaded our country  \nThe invasion of Belgium had as effect that England declared the war to Germany because England was the protector of Belgium at that moment. \n Luxembourg was also invaded at the same moment as Belgium because Germany needed the space to develop there Von Schlieffer plan.\nI have the impression that you're high school world history teacher need to do some study

what about the french 100 year war?  what about England and France, What about Germany WW1 and WW11, what about Japan WW11? China?  these countries are far more bloody than the US as we haven't existed as long as they have..\n\nRemember WW1 and WW11 were both started by Germany.  Japan bombed the US in WW11.. pearl harbor, but oh yeah, we aren't allowed to defend our selves, just France and England and the rest of Europe.

No, no, no. Especially not with history. Look into WW2 for more on that. They definitely have  two totally different languages. Their cultures are a lot different.\n\nIn a nutshell, they are not really related at all.

B-definitely\nBy the end of th 19th century almost all of Africa and Asia were control ed by both Britain and French hands, and the Caribbean has been a European possession for hundreds of years.  The control of Asia and Africa by the French and British was one of the main causes of the first world war, as Germany was forced to take possession of the most undesirable locations.  This was a root cause of the rivalry that lead to WWI.

Basically World World II was like a continuation of World World I. Essentially this is what happened. World War I starts (aka - The Great War pre WWII) and afterwards its like everyone took a break. I'm not joking either. It was like a pause for 20 years. In the early 1930's, Japan invaded China. China actually had the most amount of casualties, not Russia or Eastern Europe. \n\nMost countries blamed Germany and so Germany had many sanction and restrictions put on the country. Hitler played off of these emotions and blamed the Jewish population for all of Germany's problems. At this time, Hitler was also quickly moving up in the ranks and finally became Dictator. \n\nHitler then started annexing countries in the mid to left 1930's and every country began to appease him. After he took over Poland and much of France, it was too late. The non-aggression pact between Germany and Russia made Hitler essentially invulnerable because from Eastern Europe was essentially all his to take over minus Russia. (Hitler would later reneg on the non-agreesion pact)\n\nThe United States needed an excuse to get into WWII and they finally got one on June 6, 1941 - Pearl Harbor. \n\nAbout 6 million jews were killed and 6 million gypsies, homosexuals, etc were killed. \n\nIn China, about 20-25 million were killed.
