Churchill and the Great Republic

Churchill's ideology was that Britain should be very worried and alert with Hitler's rise to power and attempt to conquer the whole world. Finally after war broke out, Churchill decided that Britain should get involved in the War and needed to defend themselves against Hitler and his army. His ideologies affected his and Great Britains involvement in the War by making them rush into the war so that they would not become an east target, but rather come off as a strong nation. During the war Churchill was named British Minister of Defense so his ideas would decide what the nation would do during the war.

The Eastern Front

    The Eastern Front had a huge impact on the Great war and the 20th century. More than 3 million men died fighting on the Eastern Front. The Eastern half of the Great war started in 1914. It started when Russia invaded Prussia. Then the Central Powers of Germany and Austria joined the Eastern Front against Russia. In may of 1815 Germany had eventually taken control of the Eastern Front. They penetrated 200 miles of Russian land in just one week. However, once the winter came the tables turned. The Soviet union attacked the Germans to get the land back. The war on the Eastern Front was also much bloodier and more savage than the Western Front.

The causes of the Great war were many, both political and regional. One of the political causes were the different alliances of the nations. There was a triple alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy that soon became known as the Central Powers. These powers made an agreement to defend each other while the rest of Europe was mostly against these powers. Another reason the great war started was because of the Assassination in Sarajevo. Francis Ferdinand and his wife were both shot and killed by a conspirator in Austria. The conspirator was from Serbia. Finally, Austria saw the incident as an excuse to crush Serbia and send them an ultimatum. When Serbia refused to accept the ultimatum, Austria declared war on Serbia on July 28, 1914.
