Chapter 27

What is my blog about? (introduction to the chapter) - My blog is about chapter 27 in A History of Western Society. This chapter is about World War I, answering many different questions: What caused the War? Hod did the war ead to revolution and the fall of empires? How and why the war and revolution have such enormous and destructive consequences? And how did the years of trauma and bloodshed form elements of today's world, many of which people now accept and even cherrish? My blog is about the less talked about things from World War I. In my blog I talk about important people during this period, works of art from this period, a spotlight on something i found interesting from this time, U.S. events unrealted to the war during this time period, and how they are connected to what was happening across the continent, and last a connection across time.

What do I hope to accomplish? By writing this blog, I am trying to point out things less obvious from the war that aren't well know like textbook material, making them more well known since they are an important part of this war as well.

EQ: Was Wilsons idea that "this was the war to end all wars" correct?
Answer - No. This was quite the opposite actually. All of the attempts to gain peace backfired and just led coutries to be even more upset. Not getting what they wanted, being treated unfairly, and not even being involved at all was seen as insults to different places, leaving a hostile idea of revenge in the back of their minds. When all of this tension finally surfaced, WWII is what erupted. Leading this statement to not only be false, but almost a joke because it was a reason that the next world war came about.
