The effects of modernism and culturism were enormous and everlasting on the citizens of Europe and for many other nations from all around the world and there people. In the prevent of World War I, in the beginning of the 20th century, was a time when one might say the world was being reborn or re-geared. Many changes were happening to the world in beginning of the new century, you had technology developments: such as, the automobile and airplane.
There were nations growing in power and strength; nations of Europe were stronger than ever, while other new power players were emerging such as the United State, Russia, and Japan. The world was growing up, becoming smarter, and with this came the want and desire for power and control. It was only a matter of time with these already powerful nations and emerging nations to collide with one and another ideologically, politically, economically, and eventually militarily. These are some of the reasons leading up to the War to end all Wars.
Its hard if not impossible to speak about and write about the culture of Europe at the beginning of the 20th century without mentioning World War I, if one was not to use dates, this would have to be the time that the world moved into the 20th century. Using lamens terms, World War I was the changing of the guard, out with the old and in the with the new.
In World War I you had horse calvary charges being waged against trenches supported by automatic machine-gun fire. Yes this probably happened in other wars in other areas afterwards, but this was a planned, educated, and practiced event that always seemed to work in the past. So why not continue to use what has always worked in the past.
The 20th century in the military sense is where you had...

..., fighting, and dying. The effects of modernism and culturism on the society of Europe during World War I, lead to significant leaps in technology with that came death on a scale never seen before. Also one could argue it lead to a century of more death, war, and fighting.

A. Plan of Investigation The focus of this study is the effect that Otto Von Bismarck's leadership and politics had on Pre-World War One tensions in Europe. This study investigates to what extent the actions of Otto Von Bismarck led to World War One. The focus of this study is the period between Bismarck's appointment to Minister President of Prussia on September 23, 1862 and the Austro-Hungarian declaration of war on Serbia on July 28, 1914. Bismarck's earlier career is discussed briefly but only
The Great War, The Great Depression, and World War II are all deeply connected. The underlying problems that lead to World War I were never solved, and the problems that arose because of the war. World War I set into effect things that caused both the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War as well.

mother lamenting for the death of her young boy who goes to war, and great toll of loss life both of the soldiers and civilians- all these are not enough to describe the horrors brought by the war, but, these are enough to illustrate the price, expensive price, paid in war. The First World War that broke out in Europe on August, 1914 definitely created a lasting effect in the world.

Many economic, political, and social changes result 1 from the notable death count of World War I and the hard unexpected realities of the war. People before the war assumed that it would be a quick war and that everyone would be better off after settling old rivalries
Causes and Effects of World War I What were the causes and effects of World War I? The answer to this seemingly simple question is not elementary. There was more to the onset of the war then the event of an Austrian prince being murdered in Serbia, as is what most people consider to be the cause of World War I. Furthermore, the effects of the war were not just concentrated to a post-war era lasting for a generation of Westerners. No, the effects of the war were widespread throughout the world and can
During the period of July 1914 to November 1918 was when the world took a turn of events, and had an everlasting effect on the world including the people in it. Yet, the main focus was Europe and the United States. The causes of World War 1 also known as the Great War included both short, and long term occurrences. Some of the reasons for these occurrences included a multipolar power in Europe, Imperialism, the alliance system, nationalism, imperial rivalries in Africa / Asia, and a sudden assassination
of World War I The Balkan Peninsula has long been known as the “tinderbox of Europe” because it has been an area of conflict and political unrest for centuries. The countries and people that occupy the peninsula are constantly in chaos and at war with each other. This trend continues today with the problems in Bosnia and the recent international crisis in Kosovo. Throughout history, small local incidents in the Balkan Peninsula have escalated into large international crises. World War I is a
World War II: Causes and Effect on Europe World War II was significant for its unique causes and its major political impact on Europe.

Why Did the World Plunge Into World War II? The world plunged into World War II in 1939, from the unsettlement between countries. Different countries had different ideas about world affairs. Some countries preferred appeasement and other countries preferred collective securities to solve problems such as the turmoil in Germany. According to the circumstances of Europe during 1939, from economic depression and unsettlement between countries, collective security was the best answer. Appeasement was
nations were at peace, that is until the darker forces were pushing Europe toward war. Those darker forces included nationalism and alliance systems that would help fuel the Great War or World War I.

During World War I, another revolution broke out in Russia, removing Russia from the war and transformed the Russian empire into the first Communist state
The World Wars The post war changes and differences between World War I and World War II are the Jazz era, the Lost Generation, technological advances, and the differences of wars.

Analyze the spirit of promise that gave way to disillusionment in Europe during the years 1914-1918. Prior to the devastation of the first World War, a spirit of optimism and enthusiasm engulfed the minds of citizens across Europe. Relating the potential outcome of another war to the short, decisive, progressive wars in the nineteenth century, Europeans greeted the opportunity for war as a tool to cleanse the current ailments of Europe. The people, blinded by an overwhelming belief in progress and
Cause of War? Some of the most common causes of war are religious differences, territory, oppression, and self-defense (Khan). Alliances are made between countries to avoid war. Countries make alliances believing that it will protect their sovereignty, and the security of their nation (HamzaU). In ways it can be beneficial, but it can also cause harm. Alliances can lead to suspicion and fear between two nations causing war. Three of the many wars that were caused by alliances are The Vietnam War, World
as a metaphor for the changing society during the World War I era. Eksteins views Germany as being the most modern nation in Europe, despite the outcome of the war, and sees its characteristics in the ballet, with Serge Diaghilev as the ringmaster behind it all. Diaghilev brings the ideas and talent of the blossoming Russia to Paris in 1913 with the premiere of Le Sacre du printempes. Even though many thought of Paris as the cultural center of Europe, Germany was the source of the majority of new ideas
