World War I The conflict between the Industrialized/Imperialist empires of Europe. It was the first "modern" war using new technologies (machine gun, submarines, airplanes, tanks) and mass produced weapons and ammunitions.

WHEREWhile WWI was mostly fought in Europe (see next slide)... it involved peoples from around the world thus the title World War.

Wisdom: Results...Russian collapse and Communist Revolution

The outbreak of war in 1914 fueled national pride and united Russians. Armies dashed to battle with enthusiasm. World War I quickly strained Russian resources. Factories could not turn out enough supplies. The transportation system broke down, delivering only a trickle of crucial materials to the front. By 1915, many soldiers had no rifles and no ammunition. Badly equipped and poorly led, they died in staggering numbers. In 1915 alone, Russian casualties reached two millionBy March 1917, disasters on the battlefield, combined with food and fuel shortages on the home front, brought the monarchy to collapse.. Finally, on the advice of military and political leaders, the tsar abdicated.

Conditions were ripe for the Bolsheviks (Communists) Led by Nikolai Lenin to make their move. In November 1917, squads of Red Guards—armed factory workers—joined mutinous sailors from the Russian fleet in attacking the provisional government. In just a matter of days, Lenin’s forces overthrew the provisional government without a struggle.

Lenin died in 1924. His death set off a power struggle among Communist leaders. The chief contenders were Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. Eventually, Stalin isolated Trotsky within the party and stripped him of party membership. Trotsky fled the country in 1929, but continued to criticize Stalin. In 1940, a Stalinist agent murdered Trotsky in Mexico.

Wisdom: Results...Post WWI Economic and Political Crises

The catastrophe of World War I shattered the sense of optimism that had grown in the West since the Enlightenment. Despair gripped survivors on both sides as they added up the staggering costs of the war. It seemed as though a whole generation of young men had been lost on the battlefields. In reaction, the society and culture of Europe, the United States, and many other parts of the world experienced rapid changes.

People saw their world spinning out of control. Economic crisis,(inflation, devaluation of currency) failures of democratic governments resulted in the rise of Totalitarian systems of Government.
