Almost every man who fights in any war believes he is fighting for God and country.  Almost no one believes they are on the wrong side.

In the first World War, which began in 1914 America didn't join until 1917. It joined right at the end, when France was getting beaten on by the Germans and helped win though it's expected because America's troops were fresh and new.French troops had been fighting endlessly in their territory for 3 years already. \nIn WWII, America joined since the beginning in the fight against the fascism of Germany,Italy,& Japan which later included the Soviet Union as well until it was betrayed by Germany.It didn't really take a great part in it itself until Pearl Harbor, where Japan attacked us.

I don't need 3 or 4 pages. What distinguishes World War One from all previous conflicts was that it was what we call a "Total War". That meant that not only were ALL citizens from the belligerent countries fair game for destruction, but all citizens were expected to contribute to the way effort in any way they could. There were no rules of gentlemanly conduct and no limits to what either side could do. It was a contest between the maximum force of one side, and the maximum force of the other side, hence, Total War.

A large role in many armies.  The Swiss were well known for hiring the services of lesser German princes to supply troops for guard duty, etc.\n\nMany can argue that the bulk of troops used in the various wars between the Germanic states in this time were mercenary soldiers.  Some families became rather wealthy based on the number of men serving as mercenaries from generation to generation.

In World War I, the six major powers were set against each other. At the time, the US was an isolationist (which means that we didn't want to get involved in European affairs) There was a lot of nationalism in the countries, and each country built up their armies. Russia, France, and Britain against Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Noone expected it to cause as many causualties as it did, but since each nation was so powerful, it did. The troops were in trenches, (trench warfare) for several years. At the time, they had machine guns, and the only way to advance was to cross the area between the trenches called "No man's land" When they crossed no man's land, they were mowed down with machine guns. So the generals, instead of looking for other methods, chose instead to send more troops, causing more casualties.

I think one of the biggest factors is that women stepped up and filled all the jobs that the men left to go fight.  This is the first time in modern history that women were not just allowed but encouraged to do "man's" work.

women on the frontlines should be as a last resort. It is very difficult for many men to concentrate when women are around and our "protect the woman" program runs in our brain, which could cause some fatal errors in judgement and this is not the womens fault, it is just human nature.Support roles are very important because a current army can not win for very long without the support troops.

does it make a difference to the dead,their families or the world? wars are fought out of fear,greed and evil in the hearts of men.in the end it's always just sad.

hmmmm. that one is tricky. but take ww2 for ex. the war was a big boost for the economy esp. since it started during the depression. it gave people jobs. and helped with the stock market. socially it wasn't so great though it did help people by boosting there moral as in getting jobs. but on the German front it was devastating to Jews and anyone the Germans persecuted. long term it ended up bringing Communism which as we all know isn't that great. so basically you are looking for anything that would be kinda like that where you could see a drastic impact on all fronts. good luck. hope i helped if not sorry.

When there was the draft, nobody thought anything of it - it was just a fact of male life.  People of course tried to get out of it, sure.  But most people went if drafted and some even signed up to "get it out of the way."\n\nPeople thought it was one's duty to one's country to serve in the military.  Also, they thought it "built character," and "straightened kids out," and so on.\n\nBut there were other advantages to the draft.  There was no dearth of soldiers.  And when nearly everybody had somebody in the military, going to war was not an easily taken decision and if there was a war, it sat on more people's minds and hearts.  So the country was more involved and watchful.  And the burden of fighting was not borne disproportionately by minorities and the poor.\n\nSo there are advantages to the draft, mostly for the country at large.  The disadvantages seem mostly to relate to the concerns of individuals who would have their lives interrupted.

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

It's just popular society belief that men are the brave and noble ones who must fight to protect the women and children. Ya know, one of those old fashioned sayings that developed back before women's rights and all that jazz.

Society dictates it to be. Do you want to do things a man does, like go to war? How will society look on men that take up feminine jobs?\n\nThink and you'll have your answer.
