Typically, when one thinks of Great War, they think of extensive fighting in Europe but in reality the Great War had numerous battles in the colonized states where there were clashes between Triple Alliance and the Allies. Particularly, in Africa and in Ottoman empire where the clashes would lead to hundreds and thousands of fatal deaths and injuries. The Great War brought devastation and thousands of losses to both Ottomans and the Africans and caused a severe decline in economies but the Great War brought an end to Ottoman empire however Africa would still remain colonized. Furthermore, Since thousands of lives were constantly being lost so their was shortage of men so Great Britain and France brought soldiers from their colonies in Africa to fight for them in Europe. In addition, the war caused severe damage to economy since their were less men to work for in the fields and more Raw material was needed for the War.
This was because the war had been fought on German soil, causing them to lose money in agriculture; also the trade routes had shifted. In 1648, they found peace, although the Holy Roman Empire was still marred. Another cause that attributed to the fall of the Holy Roman Empire was the religious reformations and religious wars. In the 16th century, calls for reformation began because criticism of the church was so widespread. In 1517 when Martin Luther posted the “Ninety-Five-Theses,” he started a chain reaction.
The fall of the Roman Empire was inevitable by A.D. 476. Christianity had weakened the bonds that had held it together, the people became corrupt, and it got too big. It was also because of barbarian attacks. Simply, all empires always fall and Romans time had come to an end. The collapse of the Roman Empire was a calamity; it leads to the Dark (Middle) Ages.
A few of the bad sides of religion include the way that different religions get stereotyped into the most terrible side of extremists. Another example of the past negativity the church has had in the past is the many crusades the church went on in order to force their outlook on the masses of Europe. There has also been many counts of corruption stemming from the Vatican all the way back to the beginning of the biblical era. Lastly the church has the ability to bring out the vilest sides of some people that turn into extreme groups that castigate and have even killed the people that didn’t follow their norms. The church we are talking about in this context is more the organized institution of church and not the sanctuaries some people confide in or, the community that the Sunday sermon can bring to people.
But after abit of time the death of people began to increase rapidly. Wars and massacres is an impact also experienced by Indians in North America. The most tragic war of the Indians was the battle of the Wounded Knee. In this massacre there was a place in the Sioux community which was a very dangerous place for the Sioux people so big foot the Sioux chief decided to move to a safer place. One of the US soldiers orders the Sioux people to go back to their place HOWEVER one Sioux soldier didn’t want to go back and people started to fight back in a result 300 men including women and children were killed.
Sometimes nationalism is not good because it gives tension among nations, when some nationalist desire something,like in 1990’s due to nationalism many states broke up in eastern Europe including Yugoslavia and soviet union.Feelings of nationalism at times have led to causes like genocide,for eg. at the time of holocaust millions of people were killed leaving many people separating from their families.Even back in the World Wars many lives were lost due to nationalism where no one gained anything except for deaths because it makes people think that their country is superior to others and influences them towards conflict with other countries.In Rwanda genocide, Hutu killed thousands of Tutsi just due to race and benefiting their nation. We should embrace nationalism to some extent where its for expansion, economic growth, national security and if its good for a
The Huguenot political movement was crippled by the loss of many of its prominent aristocratic leaders, as well as many re-conversions by the rank and file, and those who remained were increasingly radicalized. Though by no means unique, it "was the worst of the century's religious massacres." [2] Throughout Europe, it "printed on Protestant minds the indelible conviction that Catholicism was a bloody and treacherous
Hamlet depicts devastating consequences of when such an event occurs. The common fear for many Elizabethans was that a monarch such as Henry VIII would take the throne again – someone who had no regards for morals, which resulted in the divorce of two wives; the execution of two wives as well as excommunication from the Catholic Church. In fulfilling his aims, he shook the foundations of Catholicism in England to their core. I believe the role of Claudius in Hamlet is an analogy to the reign of Henry VIII. Both were involved in incestuous marriages between their sister in-laws, and committed murder due to their greed; in Henry’s case it was for his longing for an heir, and in Claudius’s it was due to his
Dadaism and Surrealism Art Movements| | Barbara D Gentry| 11/13/2013| History of the art movements of Dada and Surrealism| The years between 1914 and 1918 were tumultuous ones. The world had broken out in a full scale war, beginning in Europe, with the assassination of the extremely disliked Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the Archduke of Austria Hungary, and his wife. The assassination was merely the catalyst to the mounting political tensions in Europe at that time. Many of Europe’s artists were horrified by slaughters being committed on a daily basis in the name of war and the social injustice they perceived, by the middle and upper class citizens. Furthermore, they were disgusted by the relentless quest to acquire more land and money by the various European nations.
The country was faced with huge losses in manpower and economic destruction after the war, despite being one of the victors. The country was mourning the loss of an entire young male generation. With the onset of the Great Depression, the French people felt the democratic system had failed them and so they looked to extremist organisations to lead them. As the international situation was worsening, it became clear that the instability in France from 1920 to 1940 meant the nation was divided, depressed and in danger of being captured by the Germans in 1940. Immediately after the First World War, there was a period of political instability with the election of four different Prime Ministers in three years.
