Central Powers

In World War I, the Central Powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire. They were joined by Bulgaria in 1915. Italy refused to go to war despite the Triple Alliance, and later joined the Allies (the Entente Powers led by Great Britain, France, and Russia).

Mainly because lice often carry diseases. During and right after World War I, a disease called typhus killed millions of people, and it was primarily spread by lice.

I believe you meant to say, "Who led the Hitler Youth?" Instead of using the present tense 'lead', one uses the past participle. Also, Hitler Youth is a proper noun, and should be treated as such. One more lapse in judgment like that one and you will be raped.

The Ottoman Emptire was partitioned into many smaller, independent countries. These included: Syria and Lebanon, which were controlled by France; Palestine and Mesopotamia, which were controlled by Britain. The remainder became the Republic of Turkey.

Just before 10 o'clock on Sunday, 28th June, 1914, Franz Ferdinand and Sophie von Chotkovato arrived in Sarajevo by train. General Oskar Potiorek, Governor of the Austrian provinces of Bosnia-Herzegovina, was waiting to take the royal party to the City Hall for the official reception.

In the front car was Fehim Curcic, the Mayor of Sarajevo and Dr. Gerde, the city's Commissioner of Police. Franz Ferdinand and Duchess Sophie were in the second car with Oskar Potiorek and Count von Harrach. The car's top was rolled back in order to allow the crowds a good view of its occupants.

At 10.10, when the six car possession passed the central police station, Nedjelko Cabrinovic hurled a hand grenade station at the archduke's car. The driver accelerated when he saw the object flying towards him and the grenade exploded under the wheel of the next car. Two of the occupants, Eric von Merizzi and Count Boos-Waldeck were seriously wounded. About a dozen spectators were also hit by bomb splinters.

Franz Ferdinand's driver, Franz Urban, drove on extremely fast and other members of the Black Hand group on the route, Cvijetko Popovic, Gavrilo Princip, Danilo Ilic and Trifko Grabez, were unable to fire their guns or hurl their bombs at the Archduke's car.

After attending the official reception at the City Hall, Franz Ferdinand asked about the members of his party that had been wounded by the bomb. When the archduke was told they were badly injured in hospital, he insisted on being taken to see them. A member of the archduke's staff, Baron Morsey, suggested this might be dangerous, but Oskar Potiorek, who was responsible for the safety of the royal party, replied, "Do you think Sarajevo is full of assassins?" However, Potiorek did accept it would be better if Duchess Sophie remained behind in the City Hall. When Baron Morsey told Sophie about the revised plans, she refused to stay arguing: "As long as the Archduke shows himself in public today I will not leave him."

In order to avoid the city centre, General Oskar Potiorek decided that the royal car should travel straight along the Appel Quay to the Sarajevo Hospital. However, Potiorek forgot to tell the driver, Franz Urban, about this decision. On the way to the hospital, Urban took a right turn into Franz Joseph Street. One of the conspirators, Gavrilo Princip, was standing on the corner at the time. Oskar Potiorek immediately realised the driver had taken the wrong route and shouted "What is this? This is the wrong way! We're supposed to take the Appel Quay!".

The driver put his foot on the brake, and began to back up. In doing so he moved slowly past the waiting Gavrilo Princip. The assassin stepped forward, drew his gun, and at a distance of about five feet, fired several times into the car. Franz Ferdinand was hit in the neck and Sophie von Chotkovato in the abdomen. Princip's bullet had pierced the archduke's jugular vein but before losing consciousness, he pleaded "Sophie dear! Sophie dear! Don't die! Stay alive for our children!" Franz Urban drove the royal couple to Konak, the governor's residence, but although both were still alive when they arrived, they died from their wounds soon afterwards.

AMerica wanted to stay with the policy of neutrality, therefore they wanted to stay out of the war

Turkey successfully defended Gallipoli, and won this campaign. The mostly British, Australian and New Zealander forces were withdrawn from the Gallipoli Peninsula after a series of monumental failures of command produced numerous fiascos and setbacks for both the army and naval forces in the campaign. The withdrawal was, ironically, the only part of the entire operation that went to plan, resulting in a stealthy and well-executed evacuation with incredibly light casualties.

In world war 1 the central powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire. The allies where The British empire, France, Russia and later the United states.

Italy was one of the Axis powers for most of World War 2. After the invasion of the Italian mainland, Mussolini was deposed and Italy became a nominal member of the allied powers, although with little or no military activity.

The President of the Swiss Confederation is elected for a one year term, so there were five different leaders during this time. In 1914, the leader was Arthur Hoffmann, followed by Giuseppe Motta in 1915, and Camille Decoppet in 1916. Edmund Schulthess was elected to the position in 1917, with Felix Calonder taking over in 1918.

The 'Black Hand Gang' were attempting to assassinate the Archduke and his wife, however the person who carried this out was Gavrilo Princip. He shot them both - Sophia in the abdomen and the Archduke in the neck.

The Ottoman Empire collapsed and disintegrated after World War 1. Many parts of it became independent countries, or League of Nations Mandates governed by the victorious French or English. The relatively small remainder became Turkey.

the economic boom of European industrialization made the ottoman empire's economy very weak as they lost their jobs due to cheaper products produced by European rivals. they borrowed from the European money lenders who forced them to join the war to help them for the money they lending to help pay the ottoman empires enormous debt.

The Sussex Pledge of 1916 was a promise from the Germans. It was intended to stop civilian deaths during the First World War.

1941

Russia had three forms of government during WWI. It started out with a monarchy, then was an anarchy during the beginning of the Russian Revolution. Then Lenin became its Communist dictator.

Better than their Arabic, Bulgarian, Austrian, French, Italian and (especially) Arab counterparts. They had a superior training in German system. Superior willpower (ability to sacrifice himself to save others/motherland) because of stoic point of wiew caused by Islamic belief. Coming from a fighter culture etc.

The point is, While Bulgarian Army collapsed, French Army revolted (1917 incidents) Austrian Army collapsed (against Rus') and Their Arabic "comrades" betrayed them.

Arabs are especially cowards. Not that they don't know fighting, they were extremely effective and active guerilla troops. They didn't have any endurance. No heart to run against a machine gun fire.

Before Gallipoli landings, Ataturk requested all regiments in his division to be changed with Anatolian Turk regiments. 2 new regiments came. 1 stayed. 57. regiment, which is composed entirely of Turks, sacrificed itself to stop ANZAC advance. While 77. Regiment (arabs) smoked weed under trees.

Don't get me started on Italians...

They were first cousins. Both were grandchildren of Queen Victoria of England

Queen Victoria's daughter Victoria, aka Vicky, was Kaiser Wilhelm's mother. Queen Victoria's son Edward VII was King George V's father. Queen Victoria's daughter Alice was the mother of Alexandra, wife of Czar Nicolas II. Nicholas II, himself, was not a descendant of Queen Victoria, however both of them (Nicholas II and Queen Victoria) were several generations descended from King George II of England. Kaiser Wilhelm and Czar Nicholas had a common ancestor in Paul I of Russian.

Additionally, George V of England and Czar Nicholas II of Russia were first cousins through their mothers. George's mother, Alexandra of Denmark, and Nicholas' mother, Dagmar of Denmark, were sisters.

He divided the empire in half so that it would be easier to defend

Militarism gave the more equipped countries (Britain, the US and Germany) an edge during World War 1. However, increased war spending caused the deterioration of economies.
