i have to write a paper comparing wwI and wwII

throw down any info you know or want to contribute. similarities, differences, whatever
 
make your main point the aviation accomplishments between the two wars. i.e Hot air balloons /Blimps vs air planes....
 
more detailed info?

the paper only needs to be like3-4 pages double spaced so i dont need a WHOLE lot
 
your always writing papers! how did that last one turn out, the one where you had to do a persauaive paper? i think it was, not sure
 
In WWI Germany was basically strong armed into the war due to its pacts of defensewith other nations. Some what akin to when a big kid who is generally laid back and peaceful gets into a fight because he's friends with a little punk who has a big mouth and picks a fight that he can't handle. (Massive over-simplification, but you get the point.

Where as in WWII Germany was the true aggressor. Following WWI Germany was castrated by peace treaties that took away the majority of their military and turned their economy to s***. This made it easy for a lunatic like Hitler to come to power blaming all of the things wrong with Germany on the Jews and other silly reasons. It also made few Germans question their government when they began to aggress upon their bordering nations to the west and eventually Russia to the east.

In short Germany wasn't really the bad guy in WWI as so much just the major opponent of the U.S. and its allies. While in WWII as we all know the Germans realy were the bad guys. (Another massive over-simplification.)

Another way to contrast the wars is that WWI wasn't really a global conflict since there was little going on in Asia at the time with the exception of small conflicts between nations that were currently run by Imperial European nations. While WWII was very much a global conflict with the US facing opponents across both the Atlantic and the Pacific.

Hope that helps a little.
 
what about the 2 diferent motives behind each war (the politics), or the 2 differnt leaders behind it. the Keizer vs Hitler... ww1 was fought for a tottally differnt reason than ww2.

why each war started: ie Greedy dictator trying to concur the world vs Germany defending Austria's heir to the throne being assassinated.


what he said ^^^^
 
3-4 pages? Dang, I could write 3-4 pages just on changes in uniforms or knives or Officer's pistols. Could you narrow it down just a bit?

yeah i have to write these gay ass s**** like every week...and my mind isnt exactly a fertile garden of creative information
 
W.W.I barely any footage. W.W.II practailly televised live on the History channel. Man I love W.W.II and the history channel. A small thread jack...my wife's grandfather turned 19 flying a bomber plane over Germany.
 
for ww2 just watch john wayne movies. for ww1 watch sergeant york, all quiet on the western front, and if you have several hours and some nodoze watch dr. shivago.

all more than you need for three pages but good stuff and stuff you should know anyway.
