of 24 nations including Britain and France who were the economic haves from the First World War, this meant they had benefited through gaining in land and reparations money in the wake of the First World War. This gave the League strength in numbers and they were seen as more authoritative as many nations agreed with the idea of the League and joined, giving it power. Although many of these nations were based in Europe, notable absentees were USA and Russia, Britain and France were not happy
1920s the Great Depression hit. The chaos caused by the First World War was the main reason for the Great Depression. The USA had lent large amounts of money to other countries to help with their damages from the war. The loans that the USA made helped the countries to recover trade. Many countries tried to protect their industries by putting taxes on imports. In 1930 USA the biggest trading nation in the world also raised their taxes. This made the world trade suffer badly as it made it difficult
greater impact on the public compared to Canada, USA, and Britain’s propaganda. Nazi Germany’s use of propaganda was very different than Canada’s, and because of that it had a much greater impact on society. Canada’s propaganda was mostly posters, and occasionally radio. The posters Canada came out with during WWII mostly focused on the benefits of war, and the glorification of war. A lot of the posters guided the public to buy victory bonds, ration the little supplies they had, and how great fighting for
number of musicians who were able to begin to break free from the confines of working the fields. Arguably the most notable being that of Robert Johnson who created a body of work which summed up the Delta culture and sound. At first this received little attention outside of Delta but it did influence other blues musicians in the area such as Muddy Waters and this is evident in his early acoustic recordings such as “Country Blues”. Johnson’s recordings also inspired Alan Lomax to visit Delta on behalf
Japan, and against them were Britain, France and Italy. The enemies of Germany retaliated because of Germany’s actions. Germany had invaded Poland, but in the Treaty Of Versailles the allies (Britain, France and USA) signed an agreement that they would protect Poland if Germany or if any of the enemy countries try to take over Poland. Britain and France signed this in the Peace Treaty in 1981. But when the D-day attack happened, the allies Britain, France and the USA surprise attacked the Nazi’s
People Britain changed significantly between 1900 and 1918, there are many potential reasons for this however World War One is seen as the biggest. The whole world order changed as the old empires of Russia, Austria - Hungary and the Ottoman Empire collapsed, Germany was recreated as the Weimar Republic and France and Britain were significantly weakened. The USA became the most powerful country in fields such as the industrial economy and trade. The internal factors that affected Britain most were
power. Economic change in Britain, Turkey and Russia led largely to their declines between 1900 and 1919, while in the USA and Japan it led to their rise. However there were also many other factors in each country's change in power. Size of Military strength and also the army's reputation for success or failure in wars previously were very important as they determined how powerful the country would be in a time of war. Previous wars had benefited the USA, Japan and Britain but simultaneously weakened
incident between Greece and Italy. The main reason Japan took over Manchuria was because it did not want to fall victim to the vast European Empires at the time and be conquered. Instead, it was looking to be on par with major European nations such as Britain and France. As a result, it tried to expand its empire and had already taken control of Korea in 1876. In 1931, Japan invaded a North-eastern region of China – Manchuria. Manchuria was rich in resources and shared borders with Russia and Mongolia
supranational level. Europe was weakened after World War Two, especially in contrast with the USSR and the USA. Traditional European hegemony was at an end and Europe had to find a new dynamic without becoming involved in conflict with the two new superpowers.

important political people such as the President, MPs and the Prime Minister, put extreme pressure on China and the government. As well as pressure, they also bring a mixture of criticism, praises, suggestions and proposals. President Clinton of the USA visited China in June 1998. While he was there, he made an impact on the country and the government and there were even suggestions that Mr Jiang was pondering the need for political reform. It was an achievement for Mr Clinton when the Chinese President
league failed in the 1930's simply because it faced greater challenges than it had faced in the 1920's.' The League of Nations was formed in 1919 just after the First World War. It was the initial idea of Woodrow Wilson, the president of the USA, and was formed as an international police force to keep the peace and to make sure such world atrocities like the First World War never happened again. When the league first started everyone had different ideas of what organisation it should
the British traders. Also the news of the isolation of the British community in China stirred anger among the British people; they felt humiliated. Britain, who didn't had this problem, did not accept that because China was blocking international trade. The Chinese government banned opium for no other reason than it being a dangerous drug. Britain on the other hand, infuriated by the ban on opium and containment of its citizens, started an armed conflict with China to continue to sell drugs in
Causes of the War of 1812 The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain from June 1812 to the spring of 1815 (Findling, 15). When the war began, it was being fought by the Americans to address their grievances toward the British, though toward the end, the issues eventually were unjustified and reasons manipulated. There is no single cause for the War of 1812 but instead, several related causes, such the influence of the War Hawks, the impressments as well as the Embargo
the USA, to further discourage this and keep prosperity increasing in the US, the Government imposed tarrifs on imported goods. The main turning point of the boom was the First World War and American Isolation. In the First World War America lent millions of pounds to countries like Britain they would then be paid back with interest on top of the original money. America also exported many of its good and products such as munitions and natural resources which it had lots of to Britain and France
of the Second World War, the United States of America (USA) and The Union of Socialist Soviet Republics (USSR). This essay will examine the Cold War from a European perspective. It is important to examine the Cold War from a European Perspective because within Europe the USA's and the USSR's spheres of influence had a physical border. This physical border was christened the Iron Curtain by the former Prime Minister of Great Britain Winston Churchill in a speech he made at Fulton Missouri

France from 1774-1791 and also ruled Navarre for all the years except the last. Although Louis is one of the most disrespected monarchs, he played a very important part in history. King Louis XVI demonstrated absolutism by being careless and having little concern about what was right for his country. He did what was fastest and easiest without looking at the consequences. This is absolutism because he had all the power in his hands and could do what he wanted without anyone else’s consult. But this
sit-coms in UK television continue to approach mainly social class issues, which have more to do with the working class than ever before. For example, in the last year there were two productions that clearly illustrate this point: Shameless and Little Britain, recent productions by Channel 4 and the BBC, used the stereotype of the English working class. In one way it is not a universal appeal, the cultural facts make these productions localised for the UK audience. Shameless was about a family
battle of Jutland, which is often considered a British victory due to the fact that after the battle, the German fleet ‘fled’ and remained at their ports for the remainder of the war. Despite this, Britain suffered the loss of approximately thrice as many men and lost more ships than Germany. However, Britain was far more successful in using blockades to their advantage, stopping supplies getting into Germany, weakening the country’s army and civilians. Convoy systems were also effective in making sure
