Abstract
This paper identifies the major causes of World War I and World War II. The causes of both wars lay in the political and military rivalries and consequent alliance building among major European powers. However, the rise of fascism and the Great Depression put World War II in different contexts. The scale of destruction is greater in World War II, but major changes in Western ideas emerged from the destruction of World War I.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"When America entered the war in 1917, aircraft production went into high gear, and new materials, engines, and aircraft designs were all created seemingly overnight. By the end of the war, planes were outfitted with machine guns which were synchronized with the propellers, the first bomb sights were developed, radios were installed, more was understood about high-altitude flying ? including how to outfit pilots for the cold encountered at high altitudes, and balloons were used for reconnaissance and photography missions. During the eighteen months America was in the war, aviation technology advanced tremendously, and it became clear that wars were no longer simply ground-based affairs, the skies above held infinite possibilities (Oliver 528-531). This would prove increasingly true during the fighting in World War II."

Abstract
The paper examines the string of historical events which resulted in the ending of World War One and the start of World War Two. It concentrates on the Treaty of Versailles as a major cause of WWII and shows how it set the stage for WWII due to the harsh reparations that angered the Germans, and eventually gave rise to Hitler?s regime.
From the Paper
"It is commonly said that WWI began due to the assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand. Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, in Sarajevo (the Bosnian capital), which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Those who wanted to reunite with Serbia assassinated Ferdinand. Urged on by Germany, Austria subsequently invaded Serbia. Serbia enlisted the help of Russia in their fight against Austria. Germany declared war on Russia and France, and
Russia and France responded. Britain declared war on Germany for the German violation of Belgium (BBC News). The whole world was soon involved in the war to end all wars, after the assassination of only one man."

Abstract
In this paper the author takes a different perspective of the Second World War, citing it as not a single armed clash. He looks at the Second World War as a collection of three different conflicts, the Japanese-League war in Southeast Asia and China, the German war in Eastern Europe, and the German-League war in western and central Europe that happened to overlap in time and causes. The author discusses in the paper that despite the different causes, theatres, and strategies of the three conflicts, their simultaneity and their direct challenge to the custom of the global community leads historians and other spectators to classify them as a single worldwide war. He looks at all of the effects of the Second World War on the different participants in terms of political, economic and social issues. In conclusion, the author addresses how in destroying the old world order, the Second World War demanded the formation of a new world order, one shaped by the triumphant, defeated, and neutral powers.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Many pieces of reorganization legislation were rolled back in wartime. A longer working day was reestablished to boost industrial productivity. The federal government made anti-trust legislation a very low precedence. In order to struggle the labor shortage, child labor laws and women's labor regulations were overlooked. With very little public protest, the number of high school dropouts increased notably. During the war, the teenage workforce grew from 1 million to 3 million; about 1 million of these novel workers had dropped out of high school. Traditional politicians had fought against these agencies when they were established, but now that FDR was focusing on winning a war as a substitute of reforming society, they could slash funding for the CCC, WPA, and National Youth Administration (NYA). These programs had always been intended to help those who would be hired last even in favorable economic conditions, so their cease was especially ####### blacks, women, and the elderly."

Abstract
This paper studies the conditions in Europe after World War I, which ultimately led to Second World War. The paper focuses on England and Germany as countries representative of the Allied and Axis powers. The paper begins by examining the Weimar Republic of Germany, which had inherent weaknesses that, when combined with economic strife and early political challenges, created a high level of instability. The paper shows how the Nazi Party exploited the Republic's weaknesses. The paper examines in detail Hitler's rise to power, and the culminating impact of world events. Next, the paper turns to Britain, which like Germany was showing signs of great economic stress after World War I. The paper discusses high unemployment coupled with a shrinking export market, which contributed to the downward spiral. The paper also studies the psyche of the British public, which believed that that World War I was the last war -- a belief that was reflected in the government's decision to cut military spending. The paper concludes with an assessment of the U.S.'s Land-Lease program and its positive impact on the economic and military recovery of England.
From the Paper
"The conditions in countries where many of the Allied forces resided were similar to those of the Axis forces. One country for each of the allied and axis forces whose history following World War II are similar to the other members of each group will be examined. The British are a good representation of the Allied forces and Germany for the Axis, especially in the European theater. What occurred in each of these countries following World War I laid the foundation for what were to follow in World War II. Each holds some very interesting events, which set into motion what would occur in the future. Mussolini first coined the term "Axis" in a speech he gave in Milan, Italy on November 1, 1936. In this speech, he referred to the Rome/Berlin alliance as an Axis in which all European countries would revolve around. This alliance, however, was a result of forced isolation from the rest of Europe, rather than a sincere Italo-German partnership of mutual respect."

Abstract
This paper discusses the outbreak of the First World War and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles. The paper shows how World War I was the first significant step in transforming the United States and Russia into global political, economic and militaristic powers. The paper looks at World War II and examines how women and minorities played a more significant role than ever before. The paper discusses how World War II firmly situated the Untied States and Russia as the ultimate global powers.
From the Paper
"The outbreak of the First World War was truly the culmination of several decades worth of tensions and power struggles between the leading world powers: "War broke out in the summer of 1914 because several of the nations of Europe had differences that could not be settled by peaceful means," (Heyman 4). Centrally this was true because the nature of Europe's political and economic system demanded an ever-increasing grip upon colonial nations, while also requiring a very delicate balance of world power to prevent outright war. The emergence of nationalism saw members of different European nations begin to view themselves as the rightful heirs to the globe. Among these nations, Britain, France, Germany, and Austria-Hungary stood as the preeminent colonial powers; they gobbled up foreign lands and subjugated their peoples both because they believed they had an innate right to do so, and because access to foreign natural resources further strengthened their nations."

Abstract
This paper examines Germany's involvement in World War I and why she was held responsible for the damages that occurred in Europe, through the eyes of three historians. The paper explains that Germany had rejected the attempts of mediation made by Britain and that it was the miscalculations of German Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg that caused all of Europe's superpowers to engage in a World War. The paper looks at how the three historians; Fritz Fischer, Gerhard Ritter and H. Jarausch discuss whom should be held accountable for the World War. In conclusion the paper shows that it is Fischer's persuasive arguments and ample evidence that clearly identifies Germany's faults in the causation of World War I.
From the Paper
"According to Fischer, Publicist Victor Naumann, who was an adviser of the German Foreign Ministry, engaged in a discussion with the permanent head of the Austro-Hungarian foreign ministry, Count Hoyos, about German aggression for the war in Berlin. He stated that the triple alliance of Italy, Austria-Hungary and Germany was powerful and that Britain would remain neutral because of the Anglo-German settlement in Africa, therefore stating that an attack against Serbia would be best if executed immediately. Ritter criticizes Fischer for bringing forward Victor Naumann as a witness to the Berlin Agreement as he was only a journalist and not a diplomat and therefore questions Fischer's credibility. However, Fischers claims are proven true when Count Hoyos met with the Austro-Hungarian ambassador, Szogyeny in Berlin on July 5th, 1914 and presented him with two documents: a memorandum that stated the situation of the monarchy and a proposal that insisted the only way to save the monarchy from being swallowed in the "Pan-Slav flood" was to "eliminate Serbia"."

Abstract
This paper examines how the causes of World War I and World War II were not one cataclysmic event but were a multitude of causes that basically derived from Nationalism and Imperialism. It shows how these two factors led to the turmoil in Europe and growing tensions and how the outbreak of World War II is an indirect link to the ending of World War I, which led to many years of chaos in Europe. It analyzes how the resulting economic depressions were a cascade of many more economic issues that Europe and America still face today and how the most radical affect was the Cold War, a war that plagued fear upon the American population for forty five years.
From the Paper
"The first cause of World War II was the intense anger over the Versailles Treaty. This Treaty was signed on June 28, 1919 and basically held Germany responsible for creating this world war. The Versailles Treaty ordered that Germany pay for all the damages that the Allies and their governments endured as a result of this war. Germany was then ordered to cut their army down to 100,000 soldiers, as well as their navy, and do away with their air-force. Germany was also angry that their territory had to be reduced as well. The territory of Alsace and Lorraine was ceded by France and certain sections of Prussia went to present day Poland. Germany felt that this treaty was ?dictated peace? and they proceeded to refuse this treaty. In doing so, the future affects would be another war. "

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the Second World War. The paper claims that World War II was a turning point in world history and brought together many allies to fight strong opponents for world domination. The paper explains that the war was supposed to be the "last" world war fought, but other conflicts since that time show that the world is still a volatile and unsettled place.
From the Paper
"World War II was fought on two major fronts - Europe and Asia. There was also fighting in North Africa, and many Pacific Islands. The initial war began in 1939 when German dictator Adolph Hitler invaded Poland. England and France had pledged to support Poland as Hitler continued to take over countries in Europe, such as Austria and Czechoslovakia in the late 1930s. When Hitler invaded Poland, France and England issued ultimatums to Germany which were ignored, and the war had officially begun, even though actual fighting by England and France did not really begin until 1940 (Kitchen 6-11). Initially, the Soviet Union signed a pact with Germany, while England, France, and most of the European countries were allied against Germany. Later, Italy and Japan also became German allies."

Abstract
This paper examines the argument that the social and political state of Europe, the United States, and Japan after World War I made the second coming of global warfare inevitable. The root causes for each of the major countries (USA, Russia, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, etc.) are examined in detail and are intricately tied together to paint a picture of how an event as tragic as World War was an inevitable outcome of World War I.
From the Paper
"While many historians consider the German invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, the spark that ignited the inferno of World War II the embers of global conflict had been smoldering unchecked for some time before then. In many ways, the vindictive and pernicious demands set in place by the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919 made a phoenix-like second coming of German forces bent on vindication and conquest almost inevitable. While German angst percolated, half way around the globe similar discord was brewing in the Pacific with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931, a blatant violation of previously signed non- aggression treaties by the major Asian countries. These two sparks ignited by German demoralization and Japanese aggression, separated by thousands of miles, ultimately led to events that would pull England, France, Italy, Russia, Northern Africa, and the United States into a two sided struggle for world domination that would leave its mark on mankind forever."

From the Paper
"Of all the reasons the most direct one for the breakout of the war was the Hitler?s aggressive colonizing policies. In violation of the treaty of Locarno [Ben John], Hitler invaded Rhineland in 1936. This was followed by the annexure of Sudetenland and Austria in 1938. Britain signed the Munich agreement with Germany to prevent further colonization but Hitler again breached the agreement by annexing Czechoslovakia in 1939. This was followed by Hitler?s demand for Danzig (in Poland), which was rejected leading to the German invasion of Poland in September 1, 1939 and marking the beginning of the Second World War. Britain and France entered the war against Germany in conformation with the pact with Poland."

Removal of Japanese to Concentration Camps
Businesses during World War II Prospered
From the Paper
"Before discussing why the American people wanted the Japanese removed from California, it is important to grasp the fear they had during this time. "Fear gripped the country and a wave of hysterical antipathy against the Japanese engulfed the Pacific Coast" (Weber). Not only did California and people on the West Coast develop hatred toward the Japanese after the bombing on Pearl Harbor, but people throughout the country were afraid the Japanese might be spies or they might turn against them. John Rankin, a Mississippi Congressman, stated, "I'm for catching every Japanese in America, Alaska and Hawaii now and putting them in concentration camps and shipping them back to Asia as soon as possible ... This is a race war, as far as the Pacific side of the conflict is concerned" (Weber). Quite clearly, they wanted the Japanese removed from their homes and put into concentration camps even if they were American citizens."

Abstract
This paper addresses the importance of the American woman's role in World War II. The image of the "little woman" took a direct hit in World War II. Whether braving the bombs and rationing on the home front, or serving as nurses, pilots, Congresswomen, auxiliary personnel or myriad other positions, women were vital to the war effort in ways they had never been before. The fight for equal wages, and equal rights with men, which is still going on today, began in many ways during the Second World War.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of World War I. Specifically, the paper discusses how World War I transformed the consciousness of Europeans. According to the paper, the world changed politically, socially and economically after World War I.
From the Paper
"The consciousness of what was possible changed, too. World War I was a time of great technological change. Aircraft joined in warfare for the first time, and many new weapons, such as tanks, grenades, and flame-throwers came into use. The population's consciousness changed after the war because technology had made them aware of the many things that were becoming possible in the modern world. More people were working in factories, but even more importantly, more people could afford modern technologies, such as automobiles, early appliances, and other non-essential goods. The population became more mobile, and because of this, they could travel more easily. They became more conscious of other countries, other people, and other lifestyles, and broadened their own consciousness. "
