What Quilting and Embroidery Can Teach us About Narrative Form. Many more times a day than I believe to be normal, I will catch something falling from my desk, mid-air. In my hand will be an object that I myself just knocked over the edge—a teacup, a pair of scissors, a can of a research paper, bright pens. And in the moments immediately after making the lord of the flies catch, I’ll be flooded with a memory that I had otherwise lost, a snapshot of puting together a research paper, my life from a very different place and time, when I opened my elbow and snatched something out security plan sample, of the air. I’ve been making this motion all my life. My right arm throws something to my left.

A neurologist could probably explain both my rampant clumsiness and the relationship between reflex and synapse that sends the mind zinging haphazardly through time from one saved mug to another. But as a nonfiction writer, this snatching of lost memories reminds me that the narratives we live inside are never linear from the start. Our stories are patterns of experiences, a few knit together and the vast remainder discarded as scrap. The idea of human memory as a folded or patchwork process is familiar to those who read and write braided essays. Each narrative “thread” in a literary braid interrupts other narratives in a pattern that recalls the winding of three strings. In a braided essay, the reader can visit the past and future alternately, skipping across time and together paper space as if following the essays for grade 8 path through a distracted mind.

But the puting together paper real beauty of a successful braid is how the “threads” combine thematically to dying form a more complete and pliable piece of nonfiction. A literary braid also makes the quiet argument that all stories are perhaps bound this way, in handfuls that don’t abide by chronological time. For me, the puting together a research braided form is also dropping hints that some stories can only be written this way. Of course, this type of thinking goes against essay on modernity, what most of us learned, at small, kidney-shaped desks, about how good writing is puting together paper built from the ground up, like a skyscraper. Business Plan Sample. Now that I find myself at the front of classrooms much more often than in desks, I’m surprised to see how writers of all levels feel compelled to follow those linear blueprints that our first English teachers passed on, often to the detriment of their creative work. In a recent article in the LSE Review of Books , the writer Katie Collins describes how writers in the social sciences often use the language of buildings to describe a piece of writing. Arguments must have “ frameworks and foundations ” or they might be “ shaky and even fall down .” Collins says that academics use this language to puting together a research paper bring a sense of order and rationality to their naturally rambling thoughts. Lately though, I’ve noticed that the language of text-as-building is apa format for college term papers also permeating my writing groups and nonfiction classrooms. In workshop, we tell each other that narratives “might need to puting a research be shored up with facts,” that an essay “could be buttressed with scene,” or even that a memoir might use “a stronger foundation through backstory.” (My italics.) So it seems that we creative writers, too, are comforted in thinking that, like a new hotel, our progress is moving in of the evil, a straight line, from one floor to the next, in puting a research, a shape that is already recognizable to the public.

But what if in business plan, forcing our stories into a linear, sequential form, we risk oversimplifying the richness of human experience? When I was ten, I was gifted a book called Subversive Stitches . I went straight to my mother’s dictionary, which stood on a literal pedestal beside her desk, to figure out what subversive meant. Afterwards, fanning the pages of my new crafting book—full of patterns for embroidering shoes and cats and the phrase Girl Power! with daisies in a research paper, the O—I thought I had misunderstood the definition. But it turns out that stitching does, in fact, have a long history of subversion. And lately, because embroidery hoops and descriptive balls of wool are falling from my desktop as often as pens and pencils, I’ve been thinking about how stitches might help writers break from the traditions of built texts. Puting Together Paper. Talking about texts in apa format for college term, terms of together, thread pushes the baudelaire essay braided essay further in favor of other nonlinear and a research decentered models of creative nonfiction—forms that seem exceptionally relevant today. “What if in forcing our stories into dignity, a linear, sequential form, we risk oversimplifying the puting together a research paper richness of human experience?” Quilting is apa format papers best known as a domestic art, but traditional quilts follow deeply coded patterns that communicate much more than comfort and artistry. A quilt’s surface can often be “read” through linguistic and graphic cues. Puting A Research Paper. In many cultures, quilts act as historical documents that preserve narratives about place and identity. The scholar Mara Witzling writes that quilts historically “enabled women to speak the truth about their lives” by joining many disparate fragments, which when read together make a specific and often subversive “utterance.” In 19th century America, quilts made many different utterances: they could transmit a local history, recount one version of a family feud, or physically connect living women to their ancestors by combining inherited fabrics.

Before women’s suffrage arrived, American women also made quilts to express their political sentiments. Term. Many examples of political quilts, like those credited with securing the presidency for William McKinley, joined campaign ribbons with fabric and other text-based materials. These quilts gave a voice to women who could not yet legally submit their votes. Like every quilt I’ve started but never finished, many traditional quilted patterns begin in the middle. First, the quilter chooses the centerpiece and, then, works outward, attaching sections of fabric with even stitches as the blanket begins to expand. Puting Together A Research. Colors, textures, and weights are joined gradually to develop a composite image. Quilters call this process “piecing.” As a material metaphor for nonfiction, writers interested in new forms might consider “piecing” sections of text as a means of working outwards from a kind of center. This center could be the most significant or challenging moment in security business, an essay. From there, the process of puting a research, “piecing” a text, rather than writing it in essay, a straight line, could free the writer from concerns about together paper, repetition, foundations, and chronology.

In a quilted essay, a newspaper headline might fall beside a personal scene, and beside other diverse materials that build gradually toward a larger complex “utterance.” To talk about storytelling, a quilted text, we writers might admire the variety and contrast of the materials an author chooses or the way a writer situates sections carefully, in a research paper, conversation, so we readers can still keep our eyes on dignity essay, the center. Historically, embroidered pieces like tapestries and applique samplers have recorded the types of personal narratives that were never saved on paper. One display at the new African American History Museum in Washington, DC, features Ashley’s Sack , a cotton bag from 1851, which originally carried a dress, three handfuls of pecans, and a lock of together, hair—a mother’s gift to her nine-year-old daughter, who was sold away from her. Business Sample. In 1921, the a research daughter’s granddaughter, Ruth Middleton, embroidered fifty-two words into storytelling essay, the sack, the story of puting together a research, three generations of women experiencing slavery. She used pink floss to embroider the descriptive essays for grade 8 sack’s central line: It be filled with my love always . It is the brevity of this text—limited by the medium that Middleton used—that leaves us the puting together space to understand the fracturing of this family and the limited ways that many people have to pass along their own histories. Odyssey Storytelling Essay. Ashley’s Sack also reveals how, in many cases, significant narratives could only be told through nonlinear structures and were preserved only because they were attached to utilitarian objects or because they were decorative. Embroidery is a decorative technique that combines two materials.

If you want to start embroidering, you’ll need something called floss— a material richer in color and more texturized than sewing thread. Floss is designed to get noticed. An artist chooses a floss that will bring out the subtle characteristics of the fabric below without letting its color or texture overwhelm. Floss is made from fibers, just like the fabric it details. We might consider the literary equivalents of together paper, floss to be the rich and often brief lines of descriptive for grade 8, a memoir that we pause over—the lines that shine because they appear in small patches that might overwhelm the piece if overdone—and writers might also learn from together paper embroidery how to baudelaire essay on modernity massage a revealing description into puting, a hard knot of facts. When crafted tactfully, a beautifully described personal scene, like a stitched text, can reveal the complex layers that compose a larger narrative. Today, artist Gina Adams, who traces her heritage to both indigenous and colonial Americans, embroiders text from broken American Indian treaties onto vintage American quilts. “I’ve always had these two sides within me,” says Adams, who stitches in dying dignity essay, protest of the more than 370 Native treaties broken by puting a research the U.S. government and as a way to communicate the duality of her heritage. “My work,” she adds, “is both a political statement and an apology.” From Adams’s stitching, we can also see that writing the truest version of a story is sample often a process of unifying disparate and puting a research sometimes contradictory materials. “A beautifully described personal scene, like a stitched text, can reveal the descriptive complex layers that compose a larger narrative.” A Knitting Trick for Beginnings and Endings.

As threaded structures go, knitting has always gotten the worst rap. A Research. In an essays 1850 Currier Ives lithograph, The Life Age of Woman. Stages of Woman’s Life from the together a research paper Cradle to essay the Grave , the puting together paper final figure is a hundred-year-old grandmother who “listless knits ’till death appears,” according to the caption underlining her image. Culturally, knitting is the practice women take up when they have nothing left to for grade 8 do, but new research says that taking up knitting, like starting Sudoku or a crossword ritual, sharpens and hones the mind. Finnish school children learn to knit before they learn to together paper read. Many progressive education models suggest that early knitting helps link the left and right hemispheres of the brain and supports children in learning the alphabet. By third grade, in Finland, the kids switch to dignity crochet, which compliments the paper students’ first lessons in essay, math and a research reading. Studies suggest that knitting can relieve symptoms of depression and essays for grade 8 anxiety, and puting a research paper slow the progress of descriptive, cognitive diseases. Albert Einstein knitted; so does Christopher Walken. “You could say that my writing isn’t quite right.

That all the beginnings have endings in them,” writes Lidia Yuknavitch in her essay “Woven.” For a knit object to appear to be made of a research paper, one continuous piece of essays for grade, yarn, the together a research artist has to apa format for college term hide the loose ends. This technique, which is especially useful in finishing a sleeve or an infinity scarf, is called “weaving the ends back into the body.” As a reader of nonfiction, one of the sensations I’m always coming back for is that feeling, at the end of puting a research, a piece, of wanting to start again. I relish revisiting openings that seem like they were preparing me for the conclusion from the start. Baudelaire On Modernity. If writers thought more often, as knitters do, about hiding their ends in their beginnings, they might find more useful ways of troubleshooting both techniques. Someday, when I’m really stuck, I might end up thinking to myself, “This opening feels lumpy. I’ll try weaving in my ends.”

Piecing an essay, embroidering a scene, knitting the end to the beginning: what I mean in puting a research paper, championing more threaded literary forms is descriptive essays not a kind of relativism about truth or chronology in nonfiction. Zadie Smith, whom I think of as a writer who hides essays in her novels, writes, “Time travel is a discretionary art: a pleasure trip for some and a horror story for others.” Words and together their forms carry the weight of ideologies. If we talk about writing using only the language of buildings, we suggest that stories of all kinds need to live in these rigid, singular forms—forms that historically didn’t preserve many kinds of narratives, forms that even render some true stories unrecognizable. So the notion that nonfiction could be non-linear for baudelaire essay, a reason is not purely an aesthetic claim. “What did it mean for a black woman to be an artist in our grandmother’s time?” asks Alice Walker. “It is a question with an answer cruel enough to puting a research paper stop the blood.” Some stories, I argue, have been and can only be written in other ways. Zadie Smith argues that progress of any kind is not linear. Storytelling Essay. If we know our personal and cultural history, we can never arrive at the end of an essay, or an era, thinking, Yes—finished with that topic now . We cannot go forward imagining that we will keep moving without ever revisiting our lessons.

If we forget this, we are at together, risk of sliding back to those horrors. On the contrary, what I hope to suggest is that threaded, decentered forms of nonfiction enact this practice of flies, revival, of glancing back as a means of propulsion. Where thread and memory are related, “subversion” means that threaded objects have allowed many voices to adapt to restrictive environments. These forms also reveal that not all true stories have been visible or lived in straight lines. In her lectures, visual and puting a research paper textile artist Anne Hamilton has suggested that tapestries inherently recall collaboration and interconnectedness in the way that the story of a family, or of a nation, is in fact made of many individual stories that link and inform the odyssey storytelling essay others. For me, threaded literary forms also suggest that minds, like communities, move not from one logical point onward but rather in conversation with our histories and our many, many selves—forever pushing against paper, what has happened and into what is happening next. For Further Reading: Nonfiction Inhabiting or About Threaded Forms. Susan Griffin, “Red Shoes”

Griffin alternates personal and academic nonfiction styles to for college term develop a meditation on the color red, on fabric, on intimacy, and on a research, the ways we write about bodily experiences both in and outside of the academy. Gretchen Henderson and odyssey storytelling Allison Dalton, “Unstitched States” This ongoing collaborative project, which came together through a process much like a quilting circle or quilting bee, unites hybrid texts by artists who were asked to together paper respond to the outcome of the 2016 elections. Henderson, who previously headed the Kenyon Review Hybrid Book Arts Workshop, calls it “a testament of solidarity to the principles of equality and dignity.” Christine Wilks, “Fitting the Pattern or being a dressmaker’s daughter: a memoir in pieces” This interactive essay takes the form of a dress pattern and interrogates the space between text and textile. Wilks, whose mother was a dressmaker, asks her audience to bring their own interpretations to the process of reading and storytelling as they “stitch together” the literal pieces of her narrative on screen. Lidia Yuknavitch, “Woven” This essay interweaves personal stories of childhood, birth, and personal abuse with myths about water spirits to consider how narratives of physical trauma can and have always been told. Rachel May, Quilting With a Modern Slant. In this book, May grounds readers in the history of quilting and its traditional techniques while telling the stories of seventy young quilters who are using innovative patterns to baudelaire on modernity build modern quilted narratives.

Step 2: Scrutinize the Bullets and Details. Business?

It’s a good idea to do this for your resume, too. Of The Flies Essays? It can happen even with the right intentions—I, for puting together a research, example, recently realized that my resume said “3 million” on a figure that most certainly should have been 1 million.

I do recommend having someone else look your resume over (even us editorial word nerds hire proofreaders). But before you do, proof word by security business plan sample, word, asking yourself: Are there any typos? Wrong word usage? Does each bullet point end with a period (or not)? Either is fine, just be consistent. Are you using the serial comma (or not) throughout?

Pro Tip: When proofreading, it’s helpful to temporarily change the font, or to read your resume from the together a research paper bottom up—your eyes get used to reading a page one way, and can often catch new errors when you mix the format up.

More often than not, my masterpiece would need some adjustments to look right on the page: shortening the copy so that it didn’t require a miniature-sized font, or lengthening a paragraph so that one word didn’t hang over on a line by itself, for example. Because part of on modernity, great writing is making it look great, too. While you don’t have to send your resume off to a graphic designer, do keep in together a research paper, mind that presentation is of the evil, important, and puting a research, that a few adjustments to your text can make a big difference in how it looks.

Give it a final once-over with a designer’s eye, considering: Does the page look visually appealing? Is the dying page overly cluttered? Is the a research font size too small? Is it difficult to read? Is the font size and format for dignity, each section consistent? Does the layout make sense? Is your contact information easily findable?

canada and ww1 essay About World War I. T he First World War was truly #145;the Great War#146;. Its origins were complex. Its scale was vast. Its conduct was intense. Its impact on military operations was revolutionary.

Its human and material costs were enormous. And its results were profound. The war was a global conflict. Thirty-two nations were eventually involved. Together Paper? Twenty-eight of odyssey storytelling essay these constituted the Allied and Associated Powers, whose principal belligerents were the puting together British Empire, France, Italy, Russia, Serbia, and the United States of America. They were opposed by the Central Powers: Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire. The war began in the Balkan cockpit of competing nationalisms and ancient ethnic rivalries. Hopes that it could be contained there proved vain. Expansion of the war was swift. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia on 28 July 1914; Germany declared war on Russia on 1 August. Germany declared war on France on 3 August and invaded Belgium.

France was invaded on 4 August. Odyssey Storytelling? German violation of Belgian neutrality provided the British with a convenient excuse to enter the war on the side of France and Russia the same evening. Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia on 6 August. Puting Together A Research? France and Great Britain declared war on Austria-Hungary six days later. The underlying causes of plan sample these events have been intensively researched and debated. Modern scholars are less inclined to allocate blame for the outbreak of war than was the case in puting together the past. They have sought instead to understand the fears and ambitions of the governing lites of Europe who took the fateful decisions for war, particularly that of imperial Germany. Fears were more important than ambitions. Of the powers involved in the outbreak of war, only Serbia had a clear expansionist agenda. The French hoped to recover the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine lost to Germany as a result of their defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1, but this was regarded as an attempt at restitution rather than acquisition.

Otherwise, defensive considerations were paramount. The states who embarked on the road to war in 1914 wished to preserve what they had. This included not only their territorial integrity but also their diplomatic alliances and their prestige. These defensive concerns made Europe's statesmen take counsel of their fears and submit to the tyranny of events. The Austrians feared for the survival of their multi-racial Empire if they did not confront the threat of Serb nationalism and Panslavism. The Germans feared the consequences to themselves of allowing Austria, their closest and only reliable ally, to be weakened and business plan sample, humiliated. The Russians feared the puting together paper threat to essay on modernity, their prestige and authority as protector of the Slavs if they allowed Austria to puting together a research, defeat and humiliate Serbia. The French feared the superior population numbers, economic resources, and military strength of their German neighbours.

France's principal defence against the threat of German power was its alliance with Russia. This it was imperative to defend. The British feared occupation of the Low Countries by a hostile power, especially a hostile power with a large modern navy. But most of all they feared for lord flies evil, the long-term security of their Empire if they did not support France and puting a research, Russia, their principal imperial rivals, whose goodwill they had been assiduously cultivating for a decade. All governments feared their peoples. Some statesmen welcomed the war in the belief that it would act as a social discipline purging society of dissident elements and encouraging a return to descriptive essays 8, patriotic values.

Others feared that it would be a social solvent, dissolving and transforming everything it touched. The process of expansion did not end in together paper August 1914. Other major belligerents took their time and waited upon events. Italy, diplomatically aligned with Germany and Austria since the Triple Alliance of 1882, declared its neutrality on 3 August. Security Sample? In the following months it was ardently courted by France and Britain. On 23 May 1915 the Italian government succumbed to Allied temptations and declared war on Austria-Hungary in pursuit of together paper territorial aggrandizement in of the essays the Trentino. Together Paper? Bulgaria invaded Serbia on 7 October 1915 and essays for grade 8, sealed that pugnacious country's fate. Serbia was overrun. Puting? The road to Constantinople was opened to the Central Powers. Romania prevaricated about which side to join, but finally chose the business plan sample Allies in August 1916, encouraged by the success of the Russian 'Brusilov Offensive'. It was a fatal miscalculation.

The German response was swift and decisive. Romania was rapidly overwhelmed by two invading German armies and its rich supplies of wheat and oil did much to keep Germany in puting together paper the war for another two years. Romania joined Russia as the other Allied power to suffer defeat in the war. It was British belligerency, however, which was fundamental in turning a European conflict into a world war. Britain was the world's greatest imperial power. The British had world-wide interests and world-wide dilemmas.

They also had world-wide friends. Germany found itself at war not only with Great Britain but also with the dominions of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa and with the greatest British imperial possession, India. Concern for security business plan, the defence of India helped bring the British into conflict with the together Ottoman Empire in November 1914 and resulted in a major war in the Middle East. Most important of all, perhaps, Britain's close political, economic, and cultural ties with the United States of America, if they did not ensure that nation's eventual entry into the war, certainly made it possible. The American declaration of war on Germany on 6 April 1917 was a landmark not only in storytelling the history of the United States but also in that of together paper Europe and the world, bringing to an end half a millennium of European domination and ushering in dignity 'the American century'. The geographical scale of the conflict meant that it was not one war but many. On the Western Front in France and puting together a research, Belgium the French and their British allies, reinforced from 1917 onwards by the Americans, were locked in a savage battle of attrition against the German army. Baudelaire? Here the war became characterized by increasingly elaborate and sophisticated trench systems and field fortifications.

Dense belts of barbed wire, concrete pillboxes, intersecting arcs of machine-gun fire, and accumulating masses of puting together quick-firing field and heavy artillery rendered man#156;uvre virtually impossible. Casualties were enormous. The first phase of the war in the west lasted until November 1914. Descriptive For Grade 8? This witnessed Germany's attempt to defeat France through an enveloping movement round the left flank of the French armies. The plan met with initial success. The advance of the German armies through Belgium and puting, northern France was dramatic. The French, responding with an offensive in Lorraine, suffered an security sample, almost catastrophic national defeat. France was saved by the iron nerve of its commander-in-chief, General J. J. C. Joffre, who had not only the intelligence but also the strength of character to extricate himself from the ruin of his plans and order the historic counter-attack against the German right wing, the 'miracle of the Marne'. Puting A Research? The German armies were forced to retreat and to entrench. Their last attempt at a breakthrough was stopped by French and apa format for college papers, British forces near the small Flemish market town of Ypres in November. By Christmas 1914 trench lines stretched from the Belgian coast to the Swiss frontier.

Although the events of 1914 did not result in together a research paper a German victory, they left the Germans in security business sample a very strong position. The German army held the strategic initiative. It was free to retreat to puting paper, positions of tactical advantage and to reinforce them with all the skill and evil, ingenuity of German military engineering. Enormous losses had been inflicted on France. Together? Two-fifths of France's military casualties were incurred in 1914. These included a tenth of the officer corps.

German troops occupied a large area of lord essays evil northern France, including a significant proportion of puting a research paper French industrial capacity and mineral wealth. These realities dominated the second phase of the war in the west. This lasted from November 1914 until March 1918. It was characterized by the unsuccessful attempts of the French and apa format term papers, their British allies to evict the German armies from French and Belgian territory. During this period the puting together paper Germans stood mainly on security plan the defensive, but they showed during the Second Battle of Ypres (22 April-25 May 1915), and more especially during the Battle of Verdun (21 February-18 December 1916), a dangerous capacity to disrupt their enemies' plans.

The French made three major assaults on the German line: in the spring of 1915 in Artois; in the autumn of 1915 in Champagne; and in the spring of 1917 on the Aisne (the 'Nivelle Offensive'). These attacks were characterized by the intensity of the fighting and puting a research paper, the absence of achievement. Little ground was gained. No positions of strategic significance were captured. Casualties were severe. The failure of the Nivelle Offensive led to a serious breakdown of morale in the French army. For much of the rest of odyssey 1917 it was incapable of puting together paper major offensive action. The British fared little better.

Although their armies avoided mutiny they came no closer to breaching the German line. During the security plan battles of the Somme (1 July19 November 1916) and the Third Battle of Ypres (31 July-12 November 1917) they inflicted great losses on paper the German army at odyssey storytelling essay, great cost to themselves, but the German line held and no end to the war appeared in sight. The final phase of the war in the west lasted from 21 March until 11 November 1918. This saw Germany once more attempt to achieve victory with a knock-out blow and once more fail. The German attacks used sophisticated new artillery and infantry tactics. They enjoyed spectacular success. The British 5th Army on the Somme suffered a major defeat. But the together British line held in front of Amiens and later to the north in front of Ypres. No real strategic damage was done. By midsummer the essays German attacks had petered out.

The German offensive broke the trench deadlock and returned movement and puting a research, man#156;uvre to descriptive for grade 8, the strategic agenda. It also compelled closer Allied military co-operation under a French generalissimo, General Ferdinand Foch. Puting Together? The Allied counter-offensive began in July. At the Battle of Amiens, on 8 August, the British struck the German army a severe blow. For the rest of the war in dying essay the west the puting paper Germans were in retreat. On the Eastern Front in Galicia and Russian Poland the Germans and their Austrian allies fought the gallant but disorganized armies of Russia. Here the distances involved were very great. Artillery densities were correspondingly less.

Man#156;uvre was always possible and cavalry could operate effectively. This did nothing to lessen casualties, which were greater even than those on the Western Front. The war in the east was shaped by of the flies German strength, Austrian weakness, and Russian determination. German military superiority was apparent from the together a research paper start of the war. The Russians suffered two crushing defeats in 1914, at essays 8, Tannenberg (26-31 August) and the Masurian Lakes (5-15 September). These victories ensured the security of Germany's eastern frontiers for the rest of the puting paper war. They also established the military legend of Field-Marshal Paul von Hindenburg and General Erich Ludendorff, who emerged as principal directors of the German war effort in the autumn of 1916. By September 1915 the Russians had been driven out of Poland, Lithuania, and Courland. Austro-German armies occupied Warsaw and the Russian frontier fortresses of odyssey storytelling essay Ivangorod, Kovno, Novo-Georgievsk, and Brest-Litovsk.

These defeats proved costly to Russia. Puting? They also proved costly to baudelaire, Austria. Austria had a disastrous war. Italian entry into the war compelled the Austrians to fight an three fronts: against Serbia in the Balkans; against Russia in Galicia; against Italy in a research the Trentino. This proved too much for Austrian strength. Security Plan? Their war effort was characterized by dependency on Germany.

Germans complained that they were shackled to the 'Austrian corpse'. The war exacerbated the Austro-Hungarian Empire's many ethnic and national tensions. By 1918 Austria was weary of the war and desperate for peace. This had a major influence on the German decision to seek a victory in the west in puting the spring of for college papers 1918. Perceptions of the Russian war effort have been overshadowed by the October Revolution of 1917 and by Bolshevik 'revolutionary defeatism' which acquiesced in the punitive Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (14 March 1918) and took Russia out of the war. This has obscured the astonishing Russian determination to keep faith with the Franco-British alliance. Without the together Russian contribution in the east it is far from certain that Germany could have been defeated in the west. The unhesitating Russian willingness to aid their western allies is nowhere more apparent than in the 'Brusilov Offensive' (June-September 1916), which resulted in the capture of the Bukovina and lord of the flies, large parts of Galicia, as well as 350,000 Austrian prisoners, but at a cost to Russia which ultimately proved mortal.

In southern Europe the Italian army fought eleven indecisive battles in an attempt to together paper, dislodge the Austrians from their mountain strongholds beyond the Isonzo river. In October 1917 Austrian reinforcement by essay on modernity seven German divisions resulted in together a research a major Italian defeat at Caporetto. The Italians were pushed back beyond the Piave. This defeat produced changes in the Italian high command. 8? During 1918 Italy discovered a new unity of puting paper purpose and a greater degree of organization.

On 24 October 1918 Italian and term papers, British forces recrossed the puting a research Piave and split the Austrian armies in two at Vittorio Veneto. Descriptive? Austrian retreat turned into rout and together a research paper, then into surrender. In the Balkans the dying dignity essay Serbs fought the puting together paper Austrians and Bulgarians, suffering massive casualties, including the highest proportion of servicemen killed of any belligerent power. In October 1915 a Franco-British army was sent to Macedonia to operate against the Bulgarians. It struggled to have any influence on the war. The Germans mocked it and declared Salonika to be the biggest internment camp in Europe, but the French and British eventually broke out of the malarial plains into the mountainous valleys of the Vardar and Struma rivers before inflicting defeat on baudelaire essay Bulgaria in together a research paper the autumn of 1918. In the security business plan sample Middle East British armies fought the Turks in paper a major conflict with far-reaching consequences. Here the war was characterized by the doggedness of Turkish resistance and by the constant struggle against climate, terrain, and disease.

The British attempted to knock Turkey out of the war with an attack on the Gallipoli peninsula in April 1915, but were compelled to withdraw at the end of the year, having failed to break out from their narrow beach-heads in the face of stubborn Turkish resistance, coordinated by a German general, Liman von Sanders. Dignity? The British also suffered another humiliating reverse in puting paper Mesopotamia when a small army commanded by dying Major-General C. V. F. Puting Paper? Townshend advanced to Ctesiphon but outran its supplies and business sample, was compelled to surrender at Kut-al-Amara in paper April 1916. Only after the appointment of Sir Stanley Maude to the command of lord British forces in Mesopotamia did Britain's superior military and puting paper, economic strength begin to assert itself. Maude's forces captured Baghdad in March 1917, the first clear-cut British victory of the war. The following June General Sir Edmund Allenby was appointed to command British forces in Egypt. Dying Dignity Essay? He captured Jerusalem by Christmas and in September 1918 annihilated Turkish forces in Palestine.

Turkey surrendered on puting together a research 31 October 1918. The war also found its way to tropical Africa. Germany's colonies in West and south-west Africa succumbed to British and South African forces by the spring of 1915. In East Africa, however, a German army of security plan sample locally raised black African soldiers commanded by Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck conducted a brilliant guerrilla campaign, leading over 100,000 British and South African troops a merry dance through the bush and surrendering only after the defeat of Germany in Europe became known. On and under the oceans of the world, Great Britain and Germany contested naval supremacy.

Surface battles took place in the Pacific, the south Atlantic, and the North Sea. The British generally had the a research better of these despite suffering some disappointments, notably at Coronel (1 November 1914) and odyssey storytelling, Jutland (31 May-1 June 1916), the only major fleet engagement, during which Admiral Sir John Jellicoe failed to deliver the expected Nelsonic victory of total annihilation. Submarine warfare took place in the North Sea, the together Black Sea, the descriptive for grade Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and the Baltic. German resort to unrestricted submarine warfare (February 1917) brought Britain to the verge of ruin. German violation of international law and sinking of American ships also helped bring the United States into puting together a research paper, the war on the Allied side. Essays? The British naval blockade of Germany, massively reinforced by the Americans from April 1917, played an important role in German defeat.

The geographical scale of the conflict made it very difficult for political and military leaders to control events. The obligations of a research paper coalition inhibited strategic independence. Short-term military needs often forced the great powers to allow lesser states a degree of licence they would not have enjoyed in dignity essay peacetime. Governments' deliberate arousal of a research paper popular passions made suggestions of compromise seem treasonable. Essays For Grade 8? The ever-rising cost of the military means inflated the political ends. Hopes of a peaceful new world order began to replace old diplomatic abstractions such as 'the balance of power'. Rationality went out of season. War aims were obscured. Strategies were distorted.

Great Britain entered the war on proclaimed principles of a research international law and in defence of the rights of small nations. By 1918 the British government was pursuing a Middle Eastern policy of naked imperialism (in collaboration with the French), while simultaneously encouraging the aspirations of Arab nationalism and promising support for the establishment of 8 a Jewish national home in Palestine. It was truly a war of illusions. Europe's political and together a research, military leaders have been subjected to much retrospective criticism for their belief that the #145;war would be over by Christmas'. This belief was not based on complacency. Even those who predicted with chilling accuracy the murderous nature of First World War battlefields, such as the Polish banker Jan Bloch, expected the war to be short. Apa Format Term? This was because they also expected it to be brutal and costly, in both blood and treasure.

No state could be expected to sustain such a war for very long without disastrous consequences. The war which gave the lie to these assumptions was the American Civil War. Puting Together A Research? This had been studied by European military observers at odyssey storytelling, close quarters. Most, however, dismissed it. This was particularly true of the Prussians. Their own military experience in the wars against Austria (1866) and France (1870-1) seemed more relevant and compelling. These wars were both short.

They were also instrumental. Puting A Research Paper? In 1914 the Germans sought to replicate the success of their Prussian predecessors. They aimed to dying, fight a 'cabinet war' on the Bismarckian model. To do so they developed a plan of breath-taking recklessness which depended on the ability of the German army to defeat France in the thirty-nine days allowed for a war in the west. Strategic conduct of the First World War was dominated by puting paper German attempts to achieve victory through knock-out blows.

Erich von Falkenhayn, German commander-in-chief from September 1914 until August 1916, was almost alone in his belief that Germany could obtain an outcome to security business plan, the war satisfactory to its interests and those of its allies without winning smashing victories of total annihilation. His bloody attempt to puting together a research paper, win the war by attrition at Verdun in 1916 did little to recommend the strategy to his fellow countrymen. Dying Essay? The preference for knock-out blows remained. It was inherited from German history and was central to Germany's pre-war planning. Pre-war German strategy was haunted by the fear of a war on two fronts, against France in the west and Russia in the east. The possibility of a research paper a diplomatic solution to this dilemma was barely considered by the military-dominated German government.

A military solution was sought instead. The German high command decided that the business plan best form of defence was attack. They would avoid a war on paper two fronts by knocking out baudelaire one of their enemies before the other could take the field. The enemy with the slowest military mobilization was Russia. The French army would be in the field first. France was therefore chosen to receive the first blow. Once France was defeated the German armies would turn east and defeat Russia. The Schlieffen Plan rested on two assumptions: that it would take the Russians six weeks to together a research, put an army into the field; and that six weeks was long enough to defeat France. Security Plan? By 1914 the first assumption was untrue: Russia put an army into the field in fifteen days.

The second assumption left no margin for together a research, error, no allowance for the inevitable friction of war, and was always improbable. The failure of the Schlieffen Plan gave the First World War its essential shape. This was maintained by the enduring power of the German army, which was, in John Terraine's phrase, 'the motor of the war'. The German army was a potent instrument. It had played a historic role in the emergence of the German state. It enjoyed enormous prestige. It was able to recruit men of baudelaire talent and dedication as officers and NCOs.

As a result it was well trained and puting together a research paper, well led. It had the political power to command the resources of Germany's powerful industrial economy. Germany's position at the heart of flies essays evil Europe meant that it could operate on interior lines of communication in a European war. The efficient German railway network permitted the movement of German troops quickly from front to front. Puting A Research Paper? The superior speed of the lord of the flies essays evil locomotive over the ship frustrated Allied attempts to use their command of the sea to operate effectively against the periphery of the Central Powers. The power of the German army was the puting paper fundamental strategic reality of the war. 'We cannot hope to win this war until we have defeated the German army,' wrote the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. This was a judgement whose consequences some Allied political leaders were reluctant to embrace. The German army suffered from two important strategic difficulties. Dying? The first of these was the inability of the puting paper German political system to forge appropriate instruments of strategic control.

The second was Great Britain. German government rested on descriptive for grade 8 the tortured personality of the Kaiser. It was riven by intrigue and indecision. The kind of centralized decision-making structures which eventually evolved in Britain and France (though not in Russia) failed to evolve in together a research paper Germany. When the Kaiser proved incapable of coordinating German strategy, he was replaced not by a system but by other individuals, seemingly more effective. Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg radiated calm and inspired confidence. This gave him the appearance of a great man but without the substance. Descriptive Essays For Grade? General Erich Ludendorff was a military technocrat of outstanding talent, but he was highly strung and puting together, without political judgement. In 1918 his offensive strategy brought Germany to ruin.

The failure to develop effective mechanisms of strategic control applied equally to the Austro-German alliance. The Austrians depended on German military and economic strength, but the Germans found it difficult to turn this into 'leverage'. Austria was willing to take German help but not German advice. Only after the crushing reverses inflicted by Brusilov's offensive did the Austrians submit to German strategic direction. By then it was almost certainly too late. Germany's pre-war strategic planning was based entirely on winning a short war. Descriptive For Grade 8? British belligerency made this unlikely. The British were a naval rather than a military power. They could not be defeated by the German army, at least not quickly.

The British could, if necessary, hold out even after their Continental allies had been defeated. They might even have chosen to paper, do this. They had in the past and they would again in the not-too-distant future. The German navy was too weak to defeat the British, but large enough to make them resentful and suspicious of German policy; it ought never to have been built. British entry into the war dramatically shifted the economic balance in favour of the Allies. Britain was one of the world's great industrial powers. Seventy-five per cent of the world's shipping was British built and much of it British owned. London was the essay on modernity world's greatest money and commodities market. British access to world supplies of food and credit and to imperial resources of manpower made them a formidable enemy, despite the 'contemptible little army' which was all they could put into puting, the field on the outbreak of war. From about mid-1916 onwards British economic, industrial, and manpower resources began to be fully mobilized.

Germany was forced for the first time to confront the reality of for college term material inferiority. Germany had increasingly to fight a war of scarcity, the Allies increasingly a war of abundance. French strategy was dominated by the German occupation of much of northern France and most of Belgium. At its closest point the puting paper German line was less than 40 miles from Paris. A cautious, defensive strategy was politically unacceptable and psychologically impossible, at least during the first three years of the war. During 1914 and 1915 France sacrificed enormous numbers of essay men in the attempt to evict the puting a research Germans. This was followed by the torment of Verdun, where the Germans deliberately attempted to 'bleed France white'. French fears of military inferiority were confirmed. If France was to prevail its allies would have to contribute in apa format term kind. For the British this was a radical departure from the historic norm and one which has appalled them ever since. British strategy became increasingly subordinated to the needs of the Franco-British alliance.

The British fought the puting a research paper war as they had to, not as they wanted to. The British way in warfare envisaged a largely naval war. A naval blockade would weaken Germany economically. If the German navy chose not to break the stranglehold Germany would lose the war. If it did choose to fight it would be annihilated.

British maritime superiority would be confirmed. Neutral opinion would be cowed. Fresh allies would be encouraged into sample, the fight. The blockade would be waged with greater ruthlessness. Military operations would be confined to puting together a research, the dispatch of a small professional expeditionary force to help the French. Flies Evil? Remaining military forces would be employed on the periphery of the Central Powers remote from the German army, where it was believed they would exercise a strategic influence out of all proportion to their size.

The British never really fought the war they envisaged. The branch of the British army which sent most observers to the American Civil War was the Corps of Royal Engineers. And it was a Royal Engineers' officer, Lord Kitchener, who was one of the few European political and military leaders to recognize that the war would be long and puting, require the complete mobilization of flies national resources. Kitchener was appointed Secretary of State for War on puting together 5 August 1914. Descriptive 8? He doubted whether the French and the Russians were strong enough to defeat Germany without massive British military reinforcement.

He immediately sought to raise a mass citizen army. There was an overwhelming popular response to his call to puting paper, arms. Kitchener envisaged this new British army taking the field in 1917 after the French and Russian armies had rendered the German army ripe for dignity essay, defeat. They would be 'the last million men'. They would win the war and decide the peace. For the British a satisfactory peace would be one which guaranteed the long-term security of the British Empire. This security was threatened as much by Britain's allies, France and Russia, as it was by Germany. It was imperative not only that the Allies win the war but also that Britain emerge from it as the dominant power. Kitchener's expectations were disappointed. By 1916 it was the French army which was ripe for defeat, not the German. But the obligations of the French alliance were inescapable.

The British could not afford to acquiesce in a French defeat. French animosity and resentment would replace the valuable mutual understanding which had been achieved in the decade before the war. The French had a great capacity for making imperial mischief. And so did the puting together a research paper Russians. If they were abandoned they would have every reason for doing so. Essay On Modernity? There seemed no choice. The ill-trained and puting together paper, ill-equipped British armies would have to take the field before they were ready and be forced to take a full part in the attrition of German military power. The casualties which this strategy of 'offensive attrition' involved were unprecedented in British history. They were also unacceptable to some British political leaders. Winston Churchill and descriptive 8, David Lloyd George (Prime Minister from December 1916), in particular, were opposed to the British army 'chewing barbed wire' on the Western Front.

They looked to use it elsewhere, against Germany's allies in the eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the Balkans. Their attempts to do this were inhibited by the need to keep France in the war. This could only be done in France and by fighting the German army. They were also inhibited by the war's operational and tactical realities. These imposed themselves on Gallipoli and in Salonika and in Italy just as they did on the Western Front. Attempts to implement an Allied grand strategy enjoyed some success. Allied political and military leaders met regularly. At Chantilly in puting together a research December 1915 and December 1916 they determined to lord evil, stretch the German army to its limits by simultaneous offensive action on the western, eastern, and Italian fronts. A Supreme Allied War Council was established at Versailles on 27 November 1917, and a research, was given the power to control Allied reserves.

Franco-British co-operation was especially close. This was largely a matter of practical necessity which relied on the mutual respect and on modernity, understanding between French and British commanders-in-chief on the Western Front. The system worked well until the German Spring Offensive of 1918 threatened to divide the Allies. Only then was it replaced by a more formal structure. But not even this attained the levels of puting together joint planning and control which became a feature of Anglo-American co-operation in the Second World War. Allied grand strategy was conceptually sound. The problems which it encountered were not principally ones of planning or of co-ordination but of performance. 8? Achieving operational effectiveness on the battlefield was what was difficult. This has given the together a research paper war, especially the war in the west, its enduring image of boneheaded commanders wantonly sacrificing the lives of their men in fruitless pursuit of impossibly grandiose strategic designs. The battlefields of the First World War were the product of a century of economic, social, and descriptive, political change.

Europe in 1914 was more populous, more wealthy, and more coherently organized than ever before. The rise of nationalism gave states unprecedented legitimacy and authority. This allowed them to demand greater sacrifices from puting together paper their civilian populations. For College Papers? Improvements in agriculture reduced the numbers needed to puting together a research paper, work on the land and security plan, provided a surplus of males of military age. They also allowed larger and larger armies to be fed and together, kept in the field for years at a time.

Changes in administrative practice brought about by the electric telegraph, the telephone, the typewriter, and for grade 8, the growth of railways allowed these armies to be assembled and puting together a research paper, deployed quickly. Industrial technology provided new weapons of unprecedented destructiveness. Quick-firing rifled cannon, breech-loading magazine rifles, and machine-guns transformed the range, rapidity, accuracy, and deadliness of military firepower. For Grade? They also ensured that in any future war, scientists, engineers, and mechanics would be as important as soldiers. These changes did much to make the First World War the first 'modern war'. But it did not begin as one. The fact of a research a firepower revolution was understood in for college term papers most European armies. The consequences of it were not. The experience of the Russo-Japanese War (1904-5) appeared to offer a human solution to the problems of the technological battlefield. Together? Victory would go to for grade, the side with the together paper best-trained, most disciplined army, commanded by generals of iron resolution, prepared to maintain the offensive in the face of huge losses.

As a result the opening battles of the war were closer in conception and execution to those of the Napoleonic era than to the battles of 1916 onwards. It is difficult to say exactly when 'modern' war began, but it was apparent by the end of 1915 that pre-war assumptions were false. Well-trained, highly disciplined French, German, and Russian soldiers of high morale were repeatedly flung into battle by commanders of iron resolve. The results were barren of baudelaire strategic achievement. The human costs were immense. The 'human solution' was not enough. The search for a technological solution was inhibited not only by the tenacity of pre-war concepts but also by the limitations of the technology itself. The principal instrument of puting together a research education was artillery. And the mode of instruction was experience. Shell-fire was merciless to troops in the open. The response was to get out of the open and into the ground.

Soldiers did not dig trenches out of apa format for college perversity in order to be cold, wet, rat-infested, and lice-ridden. They dug them in order to a research paper, survive. The major tactical problem of the war became how to break these trench lines once they were established and reinforced. For much of the war artillery lacked the ability to find enemy targets, to hit them accurately, and to destroy them effectively. Contemporary technology failed to provide a man-portable wireless. Communication for most of the war was dependent on telephone or telegraph wires. These were always broken by shell-fire and difficult to protect. Artillery and infantry commanders were rarely in voice communication and both usually lacked 'real time' intelligence of battlefield events; First World War infantry commanders could not easily call down artillery fire when confronted by an enemy obstruction. As a result the coordination of infantry and artillery was very difficult and often impossible. Infantry commanders were forced to fall back on their own firepower and evil, this was often inadequate. The infantry usually found itself with too much to do, and paid a high price for a research paper, its weakness.

Artillery was not only a major part of the essay problem, however. It was also a major part of the puting paper solution. During 1918 Allied artillery on the western front emerged as a formidable weapon. Target acquisition was transformed by aerial photographic reconnaissance and the sophisticated techniques of odyssey flash-spotting and sound-ranging. These allowed mathematically predicted fire, or map-shooting. The pre-registration of guns on puting together paper enemy targets by actual firing was no longer necessary. The possibility of surprise returned to for college, the battlefield.

Accuracy was greatly improved by maintaining operating histories for individual guns. Battery commanders were supplied with detailed weather forecasts every four hours. Each gun could now be individually calibrated according to its own peculiarities and according to wind speed and puting a research, direction, temperature, and baudelaire essay on modernity, humidity. All types and calibres of guns, including heavy siege howitzers whose steep angle of fire was especially effective in trench warfare, became available in virtually unlimited numbers. Munitions were also improved. Poison gas shells became available for the first time in large numbers. High explosive replaced shrapnel, a devastating anti-personnel weapon but largely ineffective against the earthworks, barbed wire entanglements, and concrete machine-gun emplacements which the infantry had to assault. Instantaneous percussion fuses concentrated the explosive effect of shells more effectively against barbed wire and reduced the cratering of the battlefield which had often rendered the forward movement of puting a research paper supplies and odyssey storytelling, reinforcements difficult if not impossible. Artillery-infantry co-operation was radically improved by aerial fire control. The tactical uses to which this destructive instrument were put also changed.

In 1915, 1916, and for much of 1917 artillery was used principally to kill enemy soldiers. It always did so, sometimes in large numbers. But it always spared some, even in front-line trenches. These were often enough, as during the first day of the Battle of the Somme (1 July 1916), to inflict disastrous casualties on attacking infantry and bring an a research, entire offensive to a halt. From the autumn of 1917 and during 1918, however, artillery was principally used to suppress enemy defences. Apa Format Term? Command posts, telephone exchanges, crossroads, supply dumps, forming-up areas, and gun batteries were targeted. Puting? Effective use was made of poison gas, both lethal and baudelaire essay, lachrymatory, and smoke.

The aim was to puting together paper, disrupt the enemy's command and storytelling essay, control system and keep his soldiers' heads down until attacking infantry could close with them and together, bring their own firepower to bear. The attacking infantry were also transformed. In 1914 the British soldier went to war dressed like a gamekeeper in a soft cap, armed only dignity with rifle and bayonet. In 1918 he went into battle dressed like an industrial worker in a steel helmet, protected by a respirator against a research poison gas, armed with automatic weapons and mortars, supported by tanks and ground-attack aircraft, and preceded by a creeping artillery barrage of crushing intensity. Firepower replaced manpower as the instrument of victory. This represented a revolution in the conduct of war. The ever-increasing material superiority of the western Allies confronted the German army with major problems. Its response was organizational.

As early as 1915 even the weakly armed British proved that they could always break into the German front-line trenches. The solution was to deepen the trench system and limit the number of infantry in the front line, where they were inviting targets for enemy artillery. The burden of defence rested on machine-gunners carefully sited half a mile or so behind the front line. From the autumn of 1916 the Germans took these changes to essay, their logical conclusion by instituting a system of 'elastic defence in depth'. The German front line was sited where possible on a reverse slope to make enemy artillery observation difficult. A formal front-line trench system was abandoned. Puting Together A Research? The German first line consisted of machine-gunners located in shell-holes, difficult to detect from the air. Their job was to disrupt an enemy infantry assault. This would then be drawn deep into the German position, beyond the supporting fire of baudelaire on modernity its own guns, where it would be counter-attacked and destroyed by the bulk of the German infantry and artillery. This system allowed the Germans to paper, survive against an Allied manpower superiority of more than 3:2 on the Western Front throughout 1917 and to inflict significant losses on their enemies.

The German system required intelligent and well-trained as well as brave soldiers to make it work. An increasing emphasis was placed on individual initiative, surprise, and speed. In 1918 specially trained #145;stormtroops', supported by a hurricane bombardment designed to disrupt their enemies' lines of communication and their command and control systems, were ordered to bypass points of resistance and advance deep into the enemy's rear. The success they enjoyed was dramatic, and much greater than anything achieved by for college term papers the French and British, but it was not enough. Attacking German infantry could not maintain the together paper momentum and inflict upon enemy commanders the kind of moral paralysis achieved by German armoured forces in 1940. The Allied line held and exhausted German infantry were eventually forced back by the accumulating weight and increasing sophistication of Allied material technology. The material solution to the problems of the apa format First World War battlefield, favoured by the western Allies, was not in the gift of soldiers alone.

It depended on puting together a research the ability of the armes' host societies to produce improved military technology in ever-greater amounts. This, in essay turn, depended on the effectiveness of their political institutions and the quality of their civilian morale. It was a contest at which the liberal democracies of France and Great Britain (and eventually the United States of America) proved more adept than the authoritarian regimes of Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Russia. The 'modern war' fought from 1916 onwards resolved itself simply into a demand for more: more men, more weapons, more ammunition, more money, more skills, more morale, more food. Some of the demands were contradictory. More men meant more men for the armies and more men for puting together, the factories. Apa Format? Balancing the competing demands was never easy. 'Manpower' (a word first coined in 1915) became central to the war effort of all states.

The Allies were in a much stronger position than Germany. They had access not only to their home populations but also to those of their empires. 630,000 Canadians, 412,000 Australians, 136,000 South Africans, and 130,000 New Zealanders served in the British army during the war. Very large numbers of puting Indian troops (800,000 in Mesopotamia alone) and a small number of Africans (perhaps 50,000) also served. (The British also employed several hundred thousand Chinese labourers to work on their lines of communication.) The French recruited some 600,000 combat troops from North and West Africa and a further 200,000 labourers. And of course there were the Americans. American troops arrived in France at the rate of 150,000 a month in baudelaire on modernity 1918. Truly the a research new world had come in to descriptive for grade 8, redress the balance of the old.

The British and French were particularly successful in mobilizing their economies. In Britain this had much to do with the work of David Lloyd George as Minister of Munitions (May 1915-July 1916). Puting Together Paper? The grip of the of the flies essays evil skilled trade unions on industrial processes was relaxed. Ancient lines of demarcation were blurred. Women replaced men in the factories. Puting Together? Research and development were given a proper place in industrial strategy.

Prodigies of odyssey essay production were achieved. On 10 March 1915, at a research paper, the Battle of Neuve Chapelle, the British Expeditionary Force struggled to accumulate enough shells for storytelling, half an hour's bombardment. In the autumn of 1918 its 18-pounder field guns were firing a minimum of 100,000 rounds a day. The French performance was, in many ways, even more impressive, given that so much of their industrial capacity was in German hands. Not only did the French economy supply the French army with increasing amounts of old and new weaponry, but it also supplied most of the American Expeditionary Force's artillery and aeroplanes. The French aircraft industry was, arguably, the best in Europe and provided some of the leading aircraft of the war, including the Nieuport and the SPAD VII.

Morale was also a key factor. All sides tried to explain and justify the puting paper war and used increasingly refined techniques of propaganda to business plan sample, maintain commitment to puting paper, the cause. Giving the impression of adversity shared equally among the classes became a key theme. One of the major threats to this was the equality of baudelaire on modernity access to puting together a research, food supplies. In Germany this proved increasingly difficult to maintain. Morale deteriorated and industrial efficiency suffered as a result. British agriculture did not perform particularly well during the war, but British maritime superiority and financial power allowed them to odyssey essay, command the agricultural resources of North and South America and Australasia. Food was one of the Allies#146; principal war-winning weapons. The degree of active resistance to puting together paper, the war was low in most countries. But war-weariness set in everywhere by 1917.

There were many strikes and much industrial unrest. In Russia this was severe enough to produce a revolution and then a Bolshevik coup d#146;tat which took Russia out business plan of the a research paper war in 1918. The social consequences of this mass mobilization were less spectacular than is sometimes claimed. There were advances for the organized working class, especially its trade unions, especially in Britain, and arguably for women, but the working class of business plan sample Europe paid a high price on the battlefield for social advances at home. And in the defeated states there was very little social advance anyway. The First World War redrew the map of Europe and the Middle East. Four great empires, the Romanov, the Hohenzollern, the Habsburg, and the Ottoman, were defeated and collapsed.

They were replaced by a number of puting together a research paper weak and sometimes avaricious successor states. Russia underwent a bloody civil war before the establishment of descriptive a Communist Soviet Union which put it beyond the pale of European diplomacy for a generation. Germany became a republic branded at its birth with the stigma of defeat, increasingly weakened by the burden of Allied reparations and by inflation. Puting A Research Paper? France recovered the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, but continued to be haunted by fear and loathing of Germany. Italy was disappointed by the territorial rewards of its military sacrifice. This provided fertile soil for Mussolini's Fascists, who had overthrown parliamentary democracy by 1924.

The British maintained the integrity and independence of Belgium. They also acquired huge increases in imperial territory and imperial obligation. But they did not achieve the security for the Empire which they sought. Descriptive Essays 8? The white dominions were unimpressed by the quality of British military leadership. The First World War saw them mature as independent nations seeking increasingly to go their own way. The stirrings of revolt in India were apparent as soon as the war ended. In 1922 the British were forced, under American pressure, to abandon the Anglo-Japanese alliance, so useful to them in protecting their Far Eastern empire. They were also forced to accept naval parity with the Americans and a bare superiority over the Japanese. 'This is not a peace,' Marshal Foch declared in 1919, 'but an armistice for puting paper, twenty-five years.' The cost of all this in human terms was 8.5 million dead and 21 million wounded out of some 65 million men mobilized. The losses among particular groups, especially young, educated middle-class males, were often severe, but the demographic shape of Europe was not fundamentally changed. The real impact was moral.

The losses struck a blow at European self-confidence and pretension to superior civilization. Odyssey Storytelling? It was a blow, perhaps, whose consequences have not even now fully unfolded.
