Science Lovers - HISTORY OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR (WORLD WAR 1)
Welcome to the
Science Lovers, a simple blog to share knowledge with full sincerity. This time
we will share knowledge about the history of the First World War. Immediately,
yes, I hope his knowledge can be beneficial.
First World War and
other terms such as: "Great War", "War of the Nations", and
the "War to End All Wars" is a world conflict, the global war
centered in Europe, takes place from July 28 1914 to 11 November 1918, which
originated in the Balkan Peninsula.
World War I had a
multifactorial causes. Factors affecting such a dispute between Germany and
Britain. Caused by economic and political competition. Germany was
incontestably of English is very advanced in the industry at that time.
Industry greatly affects the economic progress of European countries. So the
rivalry between Germany and England continues and extends into political
competition.
At the time, France
is a strong country in Europe, in contrast to Germany which remains below the
other powerful countries. Historically, in 1870 France and Germany engaged in a
war that was eventually won by Germany. In the peace treaty, Germany ordered
France to hand over Alsace-Lotharifen and shall indemnify ordinary war. After
the war after peace was agreed. But Germany remains pressed France to claim the
French territory as his own, and blockaded transport other countries that want
to produce goods in France. It is obviously very unfair, of which peace has
been agreed but Germany still provoke France. Automatically France was upset
and French collaborated with the British against Germany.
In June 28, 1914.
The heir to the royal throne of Austria-Hungary (now Austria) Archduke Franz
Ferdinand and his wife were killed by terrorists from Serbia named Gavrillo
Princip. The incident took place when Franz Ferdinand watched the Austrian army
war games in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Serbia considers terrorists of the war games is
an abuse against Serbia due to be held in Bosnia (one small country on the
Balkan Peninsula) which is basically a state of dispute between Austria and
Serbia. After the incident took place, Habsburg Austria gives ultimatum to
Serbia for a month in order Gavrillo Pricip punished, and Austria to attack
Serbia if the ultimatum was ignored. However, Serbia still ignore the ultimatum
because Russia promised to help Serbia if war occurs. So the time comes when
Serbia ignores the ultimatum for a month, precisely on July 28, 1914,
Austria-Hungary attacked Serbia.
World War I began on
August 1, 1914, just four days after the Austria-Hungary to declare war to
Serbia. Two other European powers between the two conflicting blockade is
Russia and Germany also start battles with on the same day. The war between
Austria to Serbia to make allies back to their respective alliances. Serbia has
the support of France and Russia. While Germany sided with Austria to declare
war on France and participated in attacking Russia. To arrive in Paris as soon
as possible, the German army passed through Belgium and attacked the Belgian
soldiers, but then the United Kingdom (UK) attacked Germany, linked to the root
of their problems regarding the industrial world.
This battle occurred
on two fronts. War between Germany face France on the western front and Russia
on the eastern front. In September 1914, Germany has reached the river Marne
and nearly mastered Paris, but France against the fierce and make Germany
overwhelmed because Germany also had to face the Russians are already heading
to Prussia.

France also hold Germany at the river Marne, Russia hold
Germany in Prussia, and England remained in control of the English Channel.
Then the battle becomes passive, the two sides began to strengthen itself by
expanding its colonies outside of Europe. Britain and France attacked the
German colonies in Togoland, East Africa, and Cameroon. And Japan took over the
German colonies in the Marshall Islands, Mariana, and Karolina.
On January 13, 1917, the German submarine attack through
massively. 5 merchant ships and passenger USA was sunk by Germany in March
1917, which had previously been ditenggekamkan ship Lusitania by Germany on May
7, 1915. America was initially neutral, finally declared war against Germany on
10 April 1917.
When the Americans began to ally with the Bloc Allied
alliance, then it can be defeated Central Powers, Bulgaria bakan filed peace in
September 1918 against the Allied block. Block Allied forces began to occupy
Macedonia and Serbia, the British occupied Jerusalem, and also under General
Allenby successfully urged Turkey and captured the fortress to Baghdad. In
fact, Turkey was forced to sign the Treaty of Sevres in 1920. And nations such
as Poland, Czech, Croatian and Slavic rid themselves of Austria-Hungary that
have been lost.
In Russia, the workers want peace. Workers' revolution
that toppled the Emperor Nicolas II under the leadership of the Bolsheviks
Lenin. It is one step from the government of the Bolsheviks who want to resign
from World War I, so came the Treaty of Brest Litovsk in 1918. So it is very
beneficial Central Powers.
German forces were desperately resist attacks, finally,
on 11 November 1918 signed a ceasefire agreement with the terms and conditions
imposed by the Allies Block. And World War I ended on June 28, 1919 after
Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles. This agreement is just a formality,
since the war is still continuing for seven months until completely subsided.
Inside the Versaillers Agreement, the outbreak of the
establishment of the League of Nations, and Germany handed over the lands
colonies and some of its European region. Poland liberated and gain territory
Posen (Poznan City), most of West Prussia and partly Silesia.
Alsace and Lorraine were occupied by the Germans returned
to France. Number of German troops was minimized becomes not exceed 100,000
people, and has banned air forces. And Germany was required to pay the spoils
of war to the allied forces amounted to £ 6,600 million. An estimated 8.6 million deaths in World War I. Block
allies lost 5.1 psyche, the Central Powers lost 3.5 million. And resulted in
huge destruction of the countries involved.
Germany's defeat in this war be the cause of the
beginning of the revival of Nazi, and with that World War II broke out in 1939.
Germany is also the basis for war in the form of a new, more modern because
with technology, and non-military.
