World War I How Four Empires Were Ended

11 million dead, 20 million wounded, disabled, blinded. Every day, war was killed on average by 6,000 soldiers. Europe was destroyed. There was depression, hunger, poverty everywhere.

The wars ended as a result of the truce in Compigne near Paris on November 11, 1918. After 1500 days of war, Germany and its allies surrendered. Four great powers were destroyed. They were broken, dissolved into smaller nations, or completely wiped out of the map. The German Empire, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire.

World War I winners France, Great Britain and the US re-vis the maps of Europe and the Middle East.

Germany gets the most severe sentence. The winning powers make him guilty of the start of the war. Germans must pay compensation for all the damage to war. As well as rebuilding French cities.

In addition, Germany must hand over some territories, ten percent of its surface. (Germans feel firm in their oaths. They had hoped for something else from the truce. )

The United States is on the table. She entered into the winners of war. American President Wilson wants a new world order and requires the establishment of the UN League today. But then, the U.S. again begins to isolate itself. No one can be guaranteed for peace in Europe anymore.

World War I was considered a war that would end all wars. But that did not happen. Many countries and peoples were dissatisfied with the effects of war. Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany: This dictator had a clear goal - avoiding the consequences of the 1918 truce with a new war.
