FEATURES OF THE LAST DAYS\n\n “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.” (Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:4) Writer Ernest Hemingway called World War I “the most colossal, murderous, mismanaged butchery that has ever taken place on earth.” According to the book The World in the Crucible—1914-1919, this was “a new scope of war, the first total war in the experience of mankind. Its duration, intensity, and scale exceeded anything previously known or generally expected.” Then came World War II, which proved much more destructive than World War I. “The twentieth century,” says professor of history Hugh Thomas, “has been dominated by the machine gun, the tank, the B-52, the nuclear bomb and, finally, the missile. It has been marked by wars more bloody and destructive than those of any other age.” True, much was said about disarmament after the Cold War ended. Still, one report estimates that after proposed reductions some 10,000 to 20,000 nuclear warheads will remain—more than 900 times the firepower used during World War II.\n\n“There will be food shortages.” (Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:5, 6, 8) Since 1914 there have been at least 20 major famines. Afflicted areas include Bangladesh, Burundi, Cambodia, China, Ethiopia, Greece, India, Nigeria, Russia, Rwanda, Somalia, and Sudan. But famine is not always caused by a lack of food. “The world’s food supply over recent decades has grown faster than its population,” concluded a group of agricultural scientists and economists. “But because at least 800 million people remain in deep poverty, . . . they are unable to purchase enough of the abundance to lift them out of chronic malnutrition.” Political meddling is involved in other cases. Dr. Abdelgalil Elmekki of the University of Toronto cites two examples in which thousands starved while their countries were exporting massive amounts of food. The governments seemed far more concerned with raising foreign currency to finance their wars than with feeding their citizens. Dr. Elmekki’s conclusion? Famine is often “a matter of distribution and government policy.”\n\n “Pestilences.” (Luke 21:11; Revelation 6:8) The Spanish influenza of 1918-19 claimed at least 21 million lives. “The world had never in history been ravaged by a killer that slew so many human beings so quickly,” writes A. A. Hoehling in The Great Epidemic. Today, pestilences rage on. Each year, cancer kills five million people, diarrheal diseases claim the lives of more than three million infants and children, and tuberculosis slays three million. Respiratory infections, mainly pneumonia, annually kill 3.5 million youngsters under five years of age. And a staggering 2.5 billion—half the world’s population—suffer from sicknesses that stem from insufficient or contaminated water and poor sanitation. AIDS looms as a further reminder that man, despite his significant medical accomplishments, is incapable of eradicating pestilences.\n\n “Men will be . . . lovers of money.” (2 Timothy 3:2) In lands around the world, people seem to have an insatiable hunger for greater wealth. “Success” is often measured by the size of one’s paycheck, “accomplishment” by how much one owns. “Materialism will continue to be one of the driving forces in American society . . . and an increasingly important force in other major markets as well,” declared the vice president of an advertising agency. Is this happening where you live?\n\n “Disobedient to parents.” (2 Timothy 3:2) Present-day parents, teachers, and others have firsthand evidence that many children are disrespectful and disobedient. Some of these youngsters are either reacting to or imitating their parents’ misbehavior. Increasing numbers of children are losing faith in—and rebelling against—school, the law, religion, and their parents. “As a trend,” says one veteran schoolteacher, “they seem to have very little respect for

America's role in WWI was not as large as it was in WWII (although in both wars the U.S. entered the war late - for more information I would compare the information between the two wars check here for a start http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_states_of_america#World_War_I_and_II\n\nGood Luck!!!

1. The fellows on airplanes used to say goodbye to their enemies at first. Those were very small planes used only as a reconaissance. Afterwards, some bastard attached a machine gun to the plane, and they were not friends anymore.\n\n2. Due to that War, Germany invented the Panzer (Tank) and the British invented the Jeep.\n\n3. The Krupp Dinasty became the wealthiest people on the planet. They were selling weapons to any country, including the allies, and by the way, they were german.\n\n4. America became a major world superpower with that war, a peer of the biggest of Europe.\n\n5. Just after WW1 finished, Apocalypse appeared: the infamous Spanish Influenza. This epidemic killed more people and soldiers than all the people killed with the war.\n\n6. The first encounter with chemical warfare. Germans used to throw Sarin and or Chloride gas to their enemies, blinding them and sending them to the other world with the worst excruciating pains you can imagine.\n\n7. The Germans stopped using the ridiculous spikes on their helmets, but the helmet (without the spikes) was adopted by everyone.\n\n8. The american soldiers were called doughboys.\n\n9. France had their vengeance against the Germans, because previously some years before Prussia (that was the name of Germany on that time) beat the shit out of them in 1870. And the same person, Krupp, gave the arms in that war.\n\nSee ya, buddy...

In addition to machine guns and many different types of poison gas (mustard, chlorine, etc.), there was also the grenade, the flamethrower, the tank, and the zeppelin. Although there were some airplanes, they did not play a huge role in WWI because they still weren't developed enough to do much damage.\n\nYou should check out http://firstworldwar.com, it's bound to have all the info you need on WWI. :O

Nationalism....everyone had a heightend sense of pride in their own nation. It would be easier to bring up soliders for the "great war" since everyone believed their nation to be best and worth fighting for. Also like nations got into alliances and often these alliances got quite tangled and would eventually be seenas probably the one of the main causes for the war. Imperalism....the powers that be in Europe were all competing on the international level for resources, markets, and prestige. The highly hostile and competitive atmosphere because of conflicting interests helped add to a war climate. Militarism... since most of the main powers needed a strong military to be able to exert their imperial dominance, strong militaries were popular during the period. As one nation built up their arms, the others would follow suit in order to avoid the balance of power from tipping to far one way. Each of these causes helped build a foundation for war which was sparked because of the archdukes assination.

The underlying causes of World War I were the intense nationalism that permeated Europe throughout the 19th and into the 20th century, the political and economic rivalry among nations, and the military buildup that occurred after 1871, when Germany emerged as a great world power.\nThe assasination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand was just a match to the powder keg.

which world war? there was two. if it was world war I then ok; world war 1 started on 1914, ended in 1918. June 28, 1914, reason why? Archduke Franz Ferdinand (of Austria) was assassinated by a team of \nSerbian nationalists while he was in Sarajevo to assert\nAustrian imperial authority over Bosnia, a Slavic territory.\n\nThis assassination triggered the cascade of events that quickly produced war world 1, which were fought by; 2 sides \n\nThe Allied Powers\n-\n led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia , and, after 1917, the United States entered war.\n\nthe Central Powers (this side lost) \n-\nled by the German Empire,Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire (aka turkey dinasty.) \nThis is how it went;\nArchduke Franz Ferdinand was assesinated by a group of serbian nationalist while trying to assert austrias control of bosnia.\nAustria extremely mad about this, backed by Berlin, attacked Serbia on July 29 in retaliation, and Germany (a big austrian backer at that time, which secretly wanted a bigger presence in europe) invaded Belgium on August 3. Thus, the war commenced; also Germany and Austria-Hungary are seen as the initial aggressors, and thus, responsible for the outbreak of war world 1. Germany was assigned the guilt although, it was humiliated in 1920 by The War Guilt clause, or Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles/Treaty of Trianon, (proclaimed as the initial AGGRESORS) and required to pay war reparations and all future costs, such as pensions for all the Allied veterans. these payments were stopped however by hitler in 1933, the same year he became chancellor (not fuhrer yet). this war ended in 1918 shortly after the U.S joined-in, in 1917, and the Allied powers defeated the central.\n-\nnow world war II;\ntook place between 1939 and 1945. it IS to this day the biggest, largest and deadliest war ever seen.\nJapan had been fighting china for many years, but the "world" war is said to have begun on September 1, 1939 when as you know Germany with the soviet union (through a secret war pact before the war.) invaded Poland.  two days later france and britain declared war on germany. The "allies" (Poland, British Commonwealth, France) left battles strictly in poland untill May, 1940 Germany invaded Western Europe, taking on the British and French militaries. Six weeks later, france surrendered to germa. \n3months later, Germ, Italy,& Jap signed a mutual defense agreement, Tripartite Pact, and were known as the Axis Powers. soviet union got into the war, when germany double-crossed them and invaded soviet land. forcing unwillingly the soviets to the allied camp. In December 1941, Japan attacked the United States (pearl harbor) bringing it too into the war on the Allied side. japan was on axis powers side (nazi side) after these events china instantly joined the allied side, as most of the rest of the world after  1940\nin 1942 Britain, USA, USSR, were fighting Germany and Italy; and all allies (except USSR) were fighting Japan. From then through August 1945, battles raged across all of Europe, in the North Atlantic Ocean, across North Africa, throughout Southeast Asia, throughout China, across the Pacific Ocean and, by air, in Japan.\nItaly surrendered in September 1943, Germany in May 1945. The surrender of Japan marked the end of the war, on September 2, 1945.\nHitler killed himself, along with his wife Eva braun (who he married few days before) and his 2 dogs on April 30, 1945 in a underground bunker there bodies were incinerated by servants by request; because of hitlers fear that what happend to mussolini (hanged by his toes) they would also do to his corpse.\nnote an estimated 60 million people died in this war estimates vary; About 64% of all casualties were civilians.\n3 million of them were polish jews, and 2 million polish "gentiles"

Ahh. Finally an intelligent, meaningful, properly spelled and punctuated question.\n\nIn my educated opinion:\n\n1) Because of the way the German people were treated after World War I came to an end. The Americans, French, and English foolishly did not offer any aid to the Germans, but instead allowed the economic conditions in Germany to deterioriate. After WWI, Germany experienced a hyperinflation that, in practical terms, meant that the average person's standard of living got worse every month. People were quite unhappy, and Hitler exploited this unhappiness by pointing to a scapegoat: the Jews. (Please note that the opposite happened after World War II because of the Marshall Plan.)\n\n2) Because of a continuing and underlying hatred of Jewish people, not only in Germany, but across Europe. In my opinion, this hatred was not only tolerated, but to some extent encouraged, by the Catholic church. It goes back to the ridiculous idea that Jesus Christ was killed by Jews. When Hitler offered up the Jews as scapegoats, many Germans agreed with the concept.\n\n3) The unquestioning loyalty to goverment and country of the German people, and the unwillingness of good people to speak out before it was too late. See below.\n\n4) Hitler's brilliance as a motivator and public speaker.\n\n5) The average person's well-founded fear of Hitler's government.\n\nHere is a famous quotation from Martin Niemoller:\nFirst they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a communist;\nThen they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a socialist;\nThen they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a trade unionist;\nThen they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a Jew;\nThen they came for me—\nand there was no one left to speak out.\n\nTHANK YOU for asking this question.

The event that triggered the start of World War I (called at the time "The Great War") was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, when he visited Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia on June 28, 1914 by  19-year old Gavrilo Princip. Princip appeared to be a member of a Serbian nationalist group. Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia and declared war. Russians supported the Serbians, and drew in their French allies. Germany was a close ally of Austria and declared war on France and Russia. To get past French defenses, Germany invaded Belgium and Luxeumbourg. This action caused the British to declare war on Germany.\n\nWhile the assassination was seen as the pretext that turned the struggle into all-out war, conflict at this level was seeded through the ongoing arms races between the European countries, and development of diplomatic alliances, and rise of European nationalism.

WWI-What did it do for america? Compare WWI to other wars in that time period. How much of an impact did it have? Why did we have another WW? State the reasons why it came about, who were our allies and who were our enemies, was there any agricultural, economic, political, problems in the U.S.? How did  it effect the other countries that were our allies and enemies did it enrich them or impovorish them? were there any underground operations to stop the war?
