Why did the Germans support Hitler?
Hitler developed a sense of charisma to the people of Germany with well rehearsed speches using magician type arm movements and lots of strong racial propaganda. Hitler was mesmeric. He told the people what they wanted to hear: The Versailles treaty & the Depression had crippled Germany grieviously. There was only one way forward & it had to lead to better times: Hitler said he knew the way & many people believed him, not only in Germany. He was not a man for compramise or vacillation. I just want to offer this up for discussion here if I may: Where would we now be, either in Europe or Globally had Hitler, having annexed both Austria & Czechoslovakia successfully, not then attacked Poland ? Germany is now (1938) a great Central European Superstate, a colossus within Europe. Just a thought.....
Is war avoidable?
Because of collective security (alliances made; i.e. Triple Alliance, Triple Entente), the 'local conflict' between Serbia and Austria-Hungary became a World War. Had it not been for this collective security, a World War could have possibly been avoided.AnswerI don't think it could have been avoided. It was the result of a hundred little pressures all building up until eventually it just exploded. The countries of Europe all wanted a war they were pretty much itching for an excuse to fight and eventually they found one. None of them expected the war to be anything like what it became, they thought it would all be over quickly. AnswerIf Austria-Hungary had negotiated seriously with Serbia in July 1914, war could have been avoided. However, Germany egged Austria-Hungary on to be completely unreasonable ... After the assassination in Sarajevo (28 June 1914, many politicians went on holiday as planned and seem not to have assumed they were on the verge of war. A Historian's PerspectiveFrom a modern historical and political science perspective, there are two major parts to this seemingly simple question: (a) Was some sort of general European War avoidable in the early 1900s?(b) If the answer to (a) is "No", what form was such a conflict most likely to take?Given the prevailing political and military atmosphere of the 1890s and 1900s, pretty much all historians are of the opinion that some form of European war was inevitable in the 1910s or 1920s. Most European nations' foreign policies were driven by brinkmanship and absolutism - compromise was seen as impinging the national honor, and the prevailing public opinions of most European countries placed a high value on national honor and prestige. Newspapers exhorted highly nationalistic ideals and foreign policies, and governments were careful to listen to public sentiment. In addition, a massive arms race had been underway for nearly 30 years, driven by the rapid industrialization of Europe and the concurrent revolution in military weapon design (magazine-fed bolt action rifles, machine-guns, submarines, the switch from coal boilers to steam turbines in ships, the advent of high-strength steel, etc.)The general opinion of most nations at the time was that war was not only inevitable, but desirable. People thought it would be a short, massive push, followed by a quick defeat of the enemy and a return to peace, with the victor gaining some spoils. In essence, everyone was dreaming of a scenario like the Franco-Prussian War of 1870."If my sons did not want wars, there would be none." Gutle Schnaper Rothschild
Are there any similarities between conflicts in Middle East today and Balkan region during World War 1?
Yes, but probably not where you're expecting it. The Balkan conflicts (the Jugoslav Wars) which raged in the 1910s and the 1990s were primarily characterized by the use of religious beliefs as ethnic identifiers. This means that a person was a Croat if they were a Roman Catholic or a Serb if he was Eastern Orthodox. Both Serbs and Croats spoke the same language, ate the same foods, and lived in mixed communities and mixed provinces. However, belief in a certain theological structure was seen as a way to discriminate between both groups. However, religion was not used in the "dogmatic" or "excommunicatory" sense, which is to say that Croats did not oppose the Serbs (or vice versa) BECAUSE the Serbs prayed with icons, but used this style of prayer to identify who was a Serb or another Croat. Additionally, in these conflicts, there were Bosniaks and ethnic Albanians who identify as Muslims. There are also Macedonians who identify with Bulgarian Orthodox Church or the Greek Orthodox Church, but the point is made. In most Arab states with large minorities, the conflicts between these groups break out along religious lines since the religions serve as good ethnic identifiers. The Lebanese Civil War and its continuing aftermath pitted Maronite Christians against Sunni Muslims against Shiite Muslims. The Iraqi Insurgency pitted a unified government with Kurdish Peshmerga allies against Shiite Extremists and Sunni Extremists. Just as in the Jugoslav case, these groups do not attack each other on account of their religious differences, but use the different religions to identify what part of society or which group each person belongs to. Oddly, this issue is not part of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. While most Palestinian combatants are Sunni Muslim and most Israeli combatants are Jewish, the Israeli Army and general populace include a large variety of non-Jewish members and Palestine still retains a Christian minority. This keeps the confrontational identities national and not religious as ethnic identifiers.
