Chapter 20

-


What aspects of Europe’s nineteenth-century history contributed to the First World War? 

  •  Emergence of Germany and Italy as major powers.


  •  1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist


  •  Rivalry between "Triple Alliance of Germany, Italy, and the Austro-Hungary Empire" and the "Triple Entente of Russia, France, and Britain," two alliances formed for national security after the above incident


  •  Industrialized militarism facilitated warfare (submarines, poison gas, machine guns, barbed wire, tanks, airplanes)


  • Imperialism: countries brought colonial troops and laborers into the war effort; now there were battles being fought in the colonies

9) Chapter 18 contains some powerful images. Why do you suppose Strayer chose to include these specific images? Strayer uses these images because they represent Europe in Chapter 18. Every time you see a powerful image it causes a strong feeling. That is what Strayer wanted to demonstrate, the reality and the feeling of the people in each historical event.  How do they illustrate concepts introduced in this chapter? Each image illustrates each event that made history.  The concepts are varied. But each illustration managed to demonstrate how society began to be different. We see people at a high economic level and at the same time we manage to perceive who was affected, the lower class. Among the images we can also see middle class people, the students.

https://spark.adobe.com/video/mVXUalPLsCEdj The images you use while presenting are very good. They help us connect as you explain the topic. It is true that the COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us of the black plague. Unfortunately we don't see that we have learned much. I work as a cashier in a store and to this day there are still people who get angry when I ask them to respect the six-foot distance. The ignorance of many people creates conflicts with those who do respect the rules. It is incredible that although we are seeing many deaths from COVID-19, we do not raise awareness. I liked your presentation! Thanks.
