Answer 3

There are multiple different little similarities between WW1 and WW2 but the main ones that i can think of are the economic booms, and the use of Propaganda. In WW1, when we started becoming more involved in the war our economy began to boom because we were making all kinds of weaponry and material. In WW2, our economy also boomed, and this helped us get out of the depression. Propaganda was used in both WW1 and WW2, but more seriously and personally used in WW2.

Answer 4

The only similarity is tha there was a lot of false story's told by both sides in order to get the people to really hate the enemy. The differences are that the Cold War was not an actual war, there was no physical conflict. World War 2 involved all of the world's superpowers while the Cold War only involved the United States and the USSR (and any countries supporting or supported by the USSR)

Answer 5

The foundations for WW2 began in WW1. When the treaty was signed in 1918 it didn't allow Germany to form an army and they had to pay for the damages they caused to the other nations. This resulted in high taxes and inflation on the German people which allowed a person like Hitler to take control. He spoke about the unfairness of the rest of Europe against the people of Germany and how German lands were taken away and given back to France. He used this when he took control to build an army and to institute laws that gave him the powers that would lead to the invasion of Poland in 1939. Some of the main differences between the two wars is the advancement of technology in arms and weapons. In WW1 the first use of the plane was developed for war, but by WW2 Hitler was developing a jet. There was a 20 year difference between the two wars so they almost can't be compared. WW1 was fought mainly in trenches with a "no mans" land between the two fronts. Gas was also used in WW1 and by WW2 it had been outlawed. The tanks in WW1 were just developed and were rather crude compared to the WW2 tank. The battlefields of WW2 were fluid and often included large areas of forest ( Battle of the Bulge) and cities and towns. Bombs were used for mass destruction in WW2 and the atomic bomb was developed during the war. The Allies were very worried that Hilter would develop and use the atomic bomb before anyone else could develop one. WW2 also comprised of two fronts. Not only was Europe a war zone, but there was also a war in the Pacific. As you can see the differences were greater than they were similar.

Answer 6

WW1 was fought between nations; Iraq is restoring law, order, and stability to the nation. No nation is at war with Iraq.

Answer 7

Frankly, there is very little, if any, similarities between the two wars. The reasons they occurred, methods they were fought with, and outcomes are radically different.

Answer 8

No real comparison in causes or effects, as distinct from any other major wars.
