Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the authoritative work on the causes of World War One. The author, Sidney Bradshaw Fay (1876-1967), was an American historian. He was Professor of History at Dartmouth College (1902-14), Smith College (1914-29), and Harvard University (1929-46). This is a book on the causes of the war, not on the war itself. Sidney Fay researches a different conclusion than almost every other researcher on the Causes of the War. Whereas others state that the War was the fault of Germany, who attacked France through Belgium on August 4, 1914, Sidney Fay asserts that Germany was forced to attack because of the circumstances it faced at the time. Sidney Fay says that Austria, Serbia, and Russia were primarily to blame for the war. Few agree with him, but on one point, all authorities agree. At the beginning, all sides believed that the war would be swift and successful. None of the countries had any idea that the war would last four years with 15 million people killed. This book is divided into two volumes. Volume One is "Before Sarajevo." Volume Two is "After Sarajevo." By "Before Sarajevo," it is meant before the assassination in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary.

Download or read book One Woman s Army written by Charity Adams Earley and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When America entered World War II, the surge of patriotism was not confined to men. Congress authorized the organization of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (later renamed Women's Army Corps) in 1942, and hundreds of women were able to join in the war effort. Charity Edna Adams became the first black woman commissioned as an officer. Black members of the WAC had to fight the prejudices not only of males who did not want women in their "man's army," but also of those who could not accept blacks in positions of authority or responsibility, even in the segregated military. With unblinking candor, Charity Adams Earley tells of her struggles and successes as the WAC's first black officer and as commanding officer of the only organization of black women to serve overseas during World War II. The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion broke all records for redirecting military mail as she commanded the group through its moves from England to France and stood up to the racist slurs of the general under whose command the battalion operated. The Six Triple Eight stood up for its commanding officer, supporting her boycott of segregated living quarters and recreational facilities. This book is a tribute to those courageous women who paved the way for patriots, regardless of color or gender, to serve their country.
Download or read book The Economics of World War I written by Stephen Broadberry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique volume offers a definitive new history of European economies at war from 1914 to 1918. It studies how European economies mobilised for war, how existing economic institutions stood up under the strain, how economic development influenced outcomes and how wartime experience influenced post-war economic growth. Leading international experts provide the first systematic comparison of economies at war between 1914 and 1918 based on the best available data for Britain, Germany, France, Russia, the USA, Italy, Turkey, Austria-Hungary and the Netherlands. The editors' overview draws some stark lessons about the role of economic development, the importance of markets and the damage done by nationalism and protectionism. A companion volume to the acclaimed The Economics of World War II, this is a major contribution to our understanding of total war.

Download or read book Scandinavia in the First World War written by Claes Ahlund and published by Nordic Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden all managed to stay out of the First World War, but all three were deeply affected by it. When the trade war and blockades came into play, the Scandinavian countries were subject to relentless pressure. Inflation and shortages of consumer goods caused widespread hardship and, ultimately, political unrest. The result was the widening social divide and bitter political divisions that marked the inter-war years. In Scandinavia in the First World War, the authors analyse aspects of the military and economic consequences of the Great War, and explore how intellectuals engaged in political propaganda and the peace movement. They also look at the experiences of the groups who came into immediate contact with the war: seamen, journalists, volunteer nurses, and thousands of Scandinavian soldiers. With a comparative introduction to the history of the Scandinavian countries during the First World War and detailed case-studies, this volume presents a wide-ranging survey of the situation in the neutral Scandinavian states. With its cross-disciplinary approach, it touches on cultural, social, and military history, as well as literary and minority studies.
Download or read book The Origins of the World War Volume II written by Sidney Bradshaw Fay and published by Ishi Press. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a two volume work. Volume 1 is "Before Sarajevo - Underlying Causes of the War." Volume 2 is "After Sarajevo - Immediate Causes of the War." By "Before Sarajevo," it is meant before the assassination in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary. This volume two starts with the Serbian Plot to Assassinate the Archduke and continues to the mobilizations in France and Germany on August 1, 1914. Unlike some other authors, Sidney Fay believes that the assassination of the Archduke was part of the plot by the Black Hand. Others, however, state that the assassination was a coincidence caused by a wrong turn by a driver and that there is no proof that the assassin was part of the Black Hand. This book deals with the incredible series of events in which in only 37 days after the assassination of the Archduke and his wife Sophie, Germany invaded both Belgium and France. These events have ever since been studied by career diplomats, seeking to learn the reasons for this so as to try to prevent another pointless war like this one from happening.
