...Women Changing Role’s in the 1920’s During the 1920’s women had began to change their roles in society to show that they can be more than what they appeared. Before the 1920’s women were second class citizens that came second in society, they did not have the same privileges as men did. Many women also did not have jobs which contributed to society because women were busy at home taking care of children and the house. Also the expectations of men were to be the supporters of the family which made women housewives. Women of the 1920’s were represented as well mannered and proper or a better term “Lady like.” Soon after they began to change how society portrayed them. Women’s changing roles in the 1920’s influenced other women to gain more responsibilities and show men that they are just as equal as they are, such as how they dressed, women’s patriotism, and women’s employment. Women’s roles changed because of how they dressed. Women’s fashion began to dress in a more risqué look with shorter clothing. This new fashion statement began to pick up a reputation and a name called Flappers. Flappers were women who dressed in shorter dresses showing more skin above their ankles that ended near their mid thighs. Their dresses came in various colors and styles, but what all their dresses had in common was silky material and loosely embroidered beading around each dress. Make-up was also one of the biggest and most commonly seen in flapper’s styles. “Five factors had become important...

...History Assessment: How Has WW1 Been Remembered? WW1 has, and always will be seen as one, if not the most significant war in all of history. One of the reasons for it being such a tragic event was that it was deemed at the time to have been ‘the war to end all wars,’ however that tragically was not the case. World War One was caused by several contributing factors, which resulted on Britain declaring war on Germany. They are: The alliance system, Imperialism, The Naval Race, The Schlieffen Plan and finally, the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. 1. The alliance system: At the end of the 19th century, alliances were made between countries. The alliances were formed so that if any of the countries in an alliance went to war, the other countries would have to help the country that had gone to war. At this point, there were two major alliances. The first consisted of Germany, Austro-Hungary and Italy, named the Triple Alliance. The other, made up of Britain, France and Russia, was named the Triple Entente. As these alliances were formed, there became immediate friction between the two alliances, as each one tried to overpower the other. 2. Imperialism: At that time, Kaiser, as well as the rest of Germany wanted a vast empire, like the British. Although they had the money as well as the resources, they had nothing to show for it. Kaiser wanted Germany to have access to raw materials and new markets. He also wanted to give Germany more respect. This angered Britain as Germany were...

...causes were imperialism, which is when one country is dominating another; nationalism, which is an intense pride for one’s homeland; and militarism, which is the building up of military weapons.” “ Alliances also contributed to the war because when they signed an alliance with another county they gave each other their help if they needed it. Then Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia. Germany declared war on France two days later; they went through Belgium, which was neutral. Great Britain declared war on Germany after France was attacked. Then Austria-Hungary declared war on England and WW1 began”(www.historyonthenet.com). “The countries that were involved in WW1 that were Central Powers were Turkey, Bulgaria, Germany, and Austria-Hungary. Other countries involved that were allies were Italy, Japan, Russia, Romania, Portugal, Greece, and Great Britain. Some countries that were in WW1 were Belgium, Brazil, China, Cuba, Estonia, Finland, Guatemala, Honduras, Liberia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Nicaragua, Panama, Poland, San Marino, and the U.S”(www.members.aol.com). According to the American Republic “one alliance that existed was the Triple Alliance which united Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy as allies. Another alliance was the Triple Entente which made Great Britain, France, and Russia allies.” According to the American Republic “the U.S entered the was because of the sinking of the Lusitania, which was a British Passenger liner, sunk by Germans which killed...

...Michael Bergin Professor Patricia Chappine GSS 2248 February 17, 2016 Nazi Rise to Power The Nazi party’s rapid rise to power did not go off without a hitch. After the hangover from WW1, the mood surrounding Germany was grim. Germany was slapped with international sanctions and forced to pay reparations to France and Britain for the huge costs of the war. The German people were looking for hope and a leader that could generate some real positive changes. In 1919, Adolf Hitler joined a small political party where he quickly rose to leadership through a number of emotional and captivating speeches. He “promoted a national sense of pride, militarism, and a concept of a radically “pure” Germany” (1). By the end of that year Hitler became the official Fuhrer of this small political party called the Nazi party which consisted of about 3,000 members. Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat for Germany’s economic issues while encouraging anti-Semitic views and behaviors. In 1923, any momentum the Nazi party possessed came to a halt in Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch. In an attempt to overthrow local authorities in Munich, Hitler was sentenced to jail and charged with high treason. As things were looking bleak for the Nazi’s Hitler utilized the courtroom as a platform for his greatest attribute, propaganda. He would rant for hours and hours against the Weimar government demanding change. Throughout his trail Hitler actually gained support for his cause. At the end of the day the right-wing...

...World war one, the war that brought new things to the Earth, a blood bath for the world. The war started very long before but, our country, the United States, joined in 1917. For many years, the U.S kept the neutrality between all countries, but on April 6th, 1917, that would all change. This war may have been in Europe but, boy did it hit home. Although many things happened, not all were at the war scene. Propaganda, the rationing of our food, and the drafting of our American men, well that happened here at home. During WW1, the war in the United states was very influential in the minds of normal people. Propaganda is known very well to influence the human's thoughts. Propaganda involved posters for victory Gardens, war bonds, four-minute men, volunteers in joining the war and women to become nurses. The idea of propaganda was to influence the war in the United States.Posters of victory gardens were influenced so more food could be saved, then sent to the soldiers overseas, while war bond posters were influenced to fund societies for the war, and then later on given back in larger amounts of money. Although there were people who were truly in the war overseas, the people of the U.S. were also a part of the war helping out although they were at home....

...“Women of Britain say – “GO!”” During the First World War posters were used as a way to spread propaganda. It was meant to encourage men to go to war, and women to help on the factories while their husbands were fighting for their country. One of these propaganda posters is called “Women of Britain say – “GO!””. It was painted by E. J. Kealey in 1915. E. J. Kealey was an artist for the First World War British army recruitment campaign. Description of the poster The poster pictures a woman and her two children, standing in a window and watching as a group of soldiers leaves for war. The woman holds the older child’s hand over her heart and the younger one holds on tight to his sister’s dress. Their facial expressions are painful and their eyes are filled with longing. The woman and children is placed centrally in the photo. They are standing inside the house while the men is outside and with their backs turned to the woman and the children. For the viewer, this creates a sense of being inside the house with the woman and the children and it makes us feel more related to them. Women’s role in war The message of the poster is directed to both women and men. It is meant to encourage men to join the army and go to war. It pictures the greatest motivation for enlisting: protecting women and children. But also, it is directed to the women of the British soldiers. The propaganda posters were meant to entice women to join the factory industry in the war. Of course it did...

...directives, there was nothing, no program, no leaflet, no printed matter at all, no membership cards, not even a miserable rubber stamp…” Hitler’s immediate notice of the lack of propaganda or symbol hints at his political intelligence and manipulative behaviour. On October 16th, 1919, Hitler successfully attracted an audience of just over 100 (a significant improvement from previous public meetings) with an advertisement in an anti-semitic newspaper. 1920 saw to Hitler’s takeover of the party’s propaganda where he recruited young men he knew in the army suggesting that he learned early propaganda techniques which would then eventually help him gain dictatorship. Hitler realised there was recognisable symbol or flag representing them, thus in the summer of 1920, the swastika was formed. A uniform symbol to unite the people. Another example of his propaganda intelligence was the commotion he started, when 2 truckloads of party members sent out to drive around with swastikas and throw out leaflets. This was the first time this tactic was used by the Nazis and showed that even in the early years, Hitler understood the power of propaganda. His emotional speech at the Beer Hall Putsch was filled with propaganda content (promises) to rebuild Germany. Hitler also capitalised his trial and used his speech as a propaganda tool to spread his ideology internationally through the massive press coverage. He used analogies to sell his ideas as a dictator to the public. “The man who is born to be a...

...Selling the Nation World War I, otherwise known as the Great War back in the early 1900s, was said to be the war that ends all wars. During this time there were two sides, the central and allied powers. The central powers consisted of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Opposing them was the allies, which included Great Britain, France, Italy, and Russia. The United States would join the allies in 1917, three years after the war had started. President Woodrow Wilson at the time was very adamant about the United States remaining a neutral country. Despite being neutral, The U.S. continued to trade heavily with the allied powers and started to diminish the exports to Germany. In retaliation, Germany started engaging with American ships in unrestricted submarine warfare and in March of 1917, the Germans had sank 9 U.S. ships (Krugler). Wilson saw Germany as a threat not only to the U.S., but for the spread of democracy across the world. Wilson knew that it was only a matter of time before the U.S. had to enter the war and had to face the huge challenge of mobilizing the nation to support the war through many techniques. Despite promoting neutrality during his time as president, through the effective use of propaganda Woodrow Wilson was able to rally Americans to support him efforts and get involved in World War I. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines propaganda as “: ideas or statements that are often false or exaggerated and that are spread in order to help a cause, a political leader, a...

...Soemi Jobaida 2/23/2017 Professor Eacott – WW1 Reading Response -Week 7 Referring to both readings for this week, write a current newspaper editorial explaining the roles played by the press in connecting and/or disconnecting the governments of Europe to/from the publics of Europe in World War Earlier generation before 1914 did not have access to information like the people did with the developments of the press. The "media revolution" of the 19th century conveyed an important increase in newspapers and journals as well as large scale access to information. Concerned individuals could update themselves about anything that was happening on both locally and globally. The media touched even very isolated parts, anywhere, because of the growth in literacy, most publics were now able to read newspapers. The great European nations and smaller countries has been influenced by the advance of media. World War I was a hindrance to this growth. Although distribution numbers remained to increase, the sum of newspapers in shops reduced. This was owing to the restoration of firm censorship in the nations fighting in the first great war....

...However, a handful of events occurred over a few months and years prior to the event, consequently were short term causes. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his pregnant wife, acted as a trigger that ultimately led to war breaking out. As a result of this T.F. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. The assassination gave Austria-Hungary the ideal excuse to declare war against Serbia. An ultimatum was issued to Serbia stating that it must agree to all the terms described in the ultimatum in order to avoid war. Austria-Hungary gave Serbia 48 hours to reply and clearly stated that all the terms must be met and complied with. Serbia agreed to all terms except one.

...The decisions in World War I (WW1), or the Great War, were mostly the reasons for the start of World War II (WW2). In 1902, a man named Benito Mussolini moved to Switzerland from Italy to avoid going to jail. He was an avid socialist news reporter. While earning a reputation as a political journalist and public speaker, he produced propaganda for a trade union, proposing a strike and advocating violence as a means of enforcing demands. (Hibbert, Foot. Jan 12, 2000). He had got into a lot of trouble with the Switzerland police due to his writing. Mussolini had been arrested and sent back to Italy, then being set free moved back to Switzerland. He got arrested again and was drafted into the military and completed his time. Once out of the...

...The source is also balanced because it was a WW1 Officer speaking in parliament. Another reason which implies the image that they weren’t cowards was in source B12, where a daughter of an Objector is being interviewed and is explaining how despite her father not fighting in the war, how proud she is and how brave he is for standing up for his belief. In source B14, talks about prison life. It suggests that the Objectors would have gone through such a rough time, this was all because they stood up for their beliefs. For example they worked all hours and had a piece of bread as a meal, this was seen as bravery to many. Source B15 talks about how the people of Britain were brainwashed by the propaganda when really they had their own opinion, with a small minority thinking they were not cowards however were too intimidated to share their opinion. In my opinion, Conscientious Objectors were not...
