Chapter 20


In Chapter 20 it discuses the start of the First World War, it's effects and the after math, along with how Europe recovered from the severe damage caused by the war. World War I Was first know as the "Great War" which was the first war to "effectively launch the twentieth century. From the start of the 1500s Europe has maintained a prominent political position in the world. Their growing military force and the "marvel" of both their Scientific and Industrial revolutions. Has Europe began to grow, Europeans and people from European decent were controlled through their formal empires. Once Italy and Germany joined their territories tensions began to rise. Germany wanted their time to shine and show that they have power as well.


The outbreak of war was not intentional but rather and accident. There was no plan or predictions when it came to the archduke's assassination. Not only was the assassination a trigger to war but the industrializing militarism. Each Great Power relied on "conscription, (compulsory military service). The Great War was the breaker of all expectations. War ended sooner, many thought that war movement and attacks would develop but instead "the western front bogged", and casualties were immense.


Influence of the postwar developed the Great Depression. World War I was the poster of Europe's political downfall which then suggested that Western capitalism was failing as well. The flaws of capitalism was so evident that economic outbreak began. As the devastation continued, unemployment soared Both Germany and the United Stated reached 30 percent or higher by 1932. Farms and factories were producing more than could be sold, and unequal pay meant unequal income which then resulted in people being unable to afford products. After years of suffering from this tragedy their answers came in the form of a man. President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. His New Deal involved many reforms as a strategy to reboot the economic system. These reforms completely changed the relationship between every social chain. Although much effort was put into the restart of the economy none of them worked very well to end the Great Depression.


Though immense damage was done throughout Europe, Europe had a more than astonishing recovery. They showed "resiliency of an industrial society", they displayed the ability of major Western European countries to integrate their recovering economies, and lastly they showed the strength to set aside their differences for each others peace and prosperity.

History Presentation

Anthony Langarica World History 4-10-19 Topic: Early Slavery in America Audience: College Students // The Next Generation Why is topic important? I believe this topic is important to talk about because it teaches us the history of our country as well as the history of people from different backgrounds. In addition it’s important to know about slavery because it shows how it has affected many people and countries. 2-4 Key Ideas: 1.) Atlantic Slave Trade- 10 million Africans were enslaved and transported to Europe and the Americas between the 15th and 19th centuries. During the 15th century when Portugal, and subsequently other European kingdoms, were finally able to expand overseas and reach Africa. The Portuguese first began to kidnap people from the west coast of Africa and to take those they enslaved back to Europe. Slave trade played an important role in providing British industry with access to raw materials. This contributed to the increased production of ma...

Chapter 21 Summary

Anthony Langarica World History 4-2-19 Chapter 21 In Chapter 21 it discussed the end of communism as well as socialism. Communism is a "political theory advocating class war and leading the society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs." This was inspired by the teachings of Karl Marx. Karl Marx "was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary."  He beleived that people can "achieve their goals peacefully and through a democratic process, those who defined themselves as communists in the 20th century disdained such reformism and advocated uncompromising revolution." (Pg 930) Socialism is something different however. Socialism is a "political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned and regulated by the community...

Hallmarks of NDNU and what I learn from them

Anthony Langarica 3-14-19 World History Their are two Hallmarks at NDNU that stand out to me out of the seven this institution has. The first one that stands out to me is the Hallmark 2 and the second Hallmark that stands out is number 5. Hallmark two states that " We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person." This stands out to me because this means that we respect one another. We also dont take anyone for granted and cherish each person as an equal. Hallmark 5 states "We embrace the gift of diversity." I like this Hallmark in particular because in the San Fransico area their are people from many different backgrounds. We embrace these backgrounds and the cultures of others. An example of this would be Chinatown. Chinatown has the China feel to it, embracing their culture even though they are not in their home land. We can see all around us how these Hallmarks come into play with our lifes without us knowing it.
