How was war on the western and eastern fronts the same?

The main difference between Eastern and Western front in WW1 was that on the Eastern front the German and the Austrians defeated the Allied forces, in particular defeated Russia, one of the major allied nations, and imposed an humiliating armistice to the Russians with the treaty of Brest-Litovsk (march 3, 1918); peace negotiations began in December 1917, a few months after the Revolution of October, who lead Communists to power in Russia and the deposition of the Tzar Nicolai II.

There were a lot of troubles during the negotiations because the new Russian leaders didn't accept the term of surrender, which they considered too heavy, and this caused a momentaneous restart of the hostilities between Russia and the Central Empires; the treath of an occupation by the Germans of the Bolshevik Russia convinced the Russian revolutionary leaders to come back to the negotiations and to accept terms even worse than before the restart of war.

The treaty, signed between Bolshevik Russia on the one side and the German Empire, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Ottoman Empire (collectively the Central Powers) on the other, marked Russia's final withdrawal from World War I as an enemy of her co-signatories, fulfilling, on unexpectedly humiliating terms, a major goal of the Bolshevik revolution of November 7, 1917.

In all, the treaty took away a third of Russia's population, half of her industry and nine-tenths of her coal mines.

However, Germany's defeat in World War I, marked by the armistice with the Allies on November 11 at Compiègne, made it possible for Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Poland (which were assigned to Germany by the treaty of Brest-Litovsk) to become truly independent sovereign states, and the designated monarchs had to renounce their thrones.

On the Western front, instead, after the German Spring offensive, who was very near to succed in defeating the Allied armies and to give to Germany the final victory, there were two major allied offensives in summer which caused the collapse of the German western front and a general withdraw or surrender of the German troops.

The immediate consequence was the collapse of the German government and of the monarchy; the new government quickly signed an armistice which stopped all fighting on the Western Front on Armistice Day (11 November 1918). The German Imperial Monarchy collapsed as Ludendorff's successor General Groener agreed, for fear of a revolution like that in Russia the previous year, to support the moderate Social Democratic Government under Ebert rather than sustain the Hohenzollern Monarchy.

The war along the western front led the German government and its allies to sue for peace in spite of German success elsewhere. As a result the terms of the peace were dictated by France, Britain, Italy (which soon abandoned the negotiations in disagree with the other allies about the terms of assignation of the former German Empire's African and Far East colonies) and the United States, during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. The result was the Treaty of Versailles, signed in June 1919 by a delegation of the new German government.

The terms of the treaty were the end for Germany as an economic and military power.

There was also an other difference between the war on Eastern and Western front: on the West, the Germans and the Allies, in an effort to break the deadlock, introduced new military technology, including poison gas, aircraft, and tanks.

On the contrary, on the Eastern front was fought a more traditional war of infantries, with large massive land attacks and the use of conventional artillery.

What was rationed in Canada during ww1?

In Canada during WW1, the main things that were rationed were food and gasoline. Prime
Minister Borden put rations or limits, on food so that the soldiers would get their full rations and meals so they are strong fighters. Weekly, each Canadian adult was entitled to have 1.8 kg of meat and 220g of sugar. The government also encouraged people not to horde. Gasoline was needed for the transportation and airplane fighter crafts. Each Canadian adult was limited to 26 L weekly. Many people were fined for trying to buy more then their limit and also to whoever sold someone more then their weekly sacrifice. The government then began to hire companies such as "The National Film Board", and "The Wartime Information Board", to make propaganda that was convincing towards rations.

What Forces brought an end to the age of chivalry?

No one thing ended 'Chivalry'. Chivalry is the act of following the Knightly code or being a distinguished gentleman. This conduct slowly eroded over time with a lack of upbringing and training of the important differences between a male and a female. As well the understanding of doing onto others as you would have done to you. In the United States the largest change took place in the late 1960's leading up until today. Many times a man would step ahead of a woman to hold the door open for her only to have her either snub him or tell him she doesn't need a man to hold a door open for her. This lack of training and the response for attempting to do good has quickly made it that the man would not step to the door, or hail a taxi to be helpful for concern of getting a negative response.

How does centripetal force apply to the workings of a centrifuge?

Centripetal force is crucial in the operation of a centrifuge, as it acts on the samples being spun at high speeds. This force pulls the contents toward the center of the circular path, allowing denser materials to separate from less dense ones. As the centrifuge spins, the rapid rotation generates a significant centripetal force, effectively stratifying the components based on their density. This separation process is essential in various applications, including medical diagnostics and biochemical research.

What was Winston Churchill's army rank?

Britain declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939, two days after Germany invaded Poland. Also on September 3, Churchill was named First Lord of the Admiralty. This was a political office, the civilian head of the Royal Navy, the equivalent of the then existing cabinet office in the United States of Secretary of the Navy. (The US Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of War, the civilian heads of the Navy and Army, were combined in 1947 into the office of the Secretary of Defense. In Britain the office of First Lord of the Admiralty was abolished in 1964, after more than 300 years). The First Lord was an extremely important position. Britain depended on the Royal Navy for her continued national existence, as an island nation that had to have imports by sea to feed its people and arm its military. Churchill had been active in British politics for decades and was 64 years old when WWII began. Churchill had been First Lord of the Admiralty before, from 1911, before WWI began, until 1915, when WWI had been going on for more than a year. He resigned as First Lord during WWI and accepted responsibility for the failed Gallipolli Campaign, an invasion by sea of Turkey that he had strongly urged. After resigning as First Lord in 1915, Churchill accepted command of a battalion on the Western Front in France (he had been trained as an Army officer by attending Sandhurst, the British equivalent of West Point). After almost a year in Franc he was named Minister of Munitions for the latter part of WWI, in charge of war production of military supplies. During WWII Churchill served as First Lord for about nine months. The civilian head of the government in Britain is the Prime Minister. The existing government lost the confidence of the people and of the King, who asked Churchill to become Prime Minister and to form a coalition government on May 10, 1940. At the same time Churchill also took over the duties of the Minster of War, the civilian head of the Army. Churchill kept both these positions until after Germany was defeated. In Britain, elections can be called almost at any time, and after Germany was beaten - but while the war with Japan was still going on - the British people called an election, and to show their gratitude to the man who saved them and their country, they voted Churchill out of office in July, 1945, about a month before final victory, so he was denied that triumph. Churchill was again Prime Minister from 1951 to 1955, after which he retired, being more than 80 years old. He died in 1964.

What is the centripetal force when a car is turning a bend?

For any body to move along a curved path instead along a straight path, its direction of the speed often changes. Hence velocity changes. To make the velocity changing we need acceleration. Hence a force is required. Such a force is named as centripetal force. Also known to be centre seeking force. This is said to be the essential force for a movement along a curved path. Such centripetal is provided by the frictional force in between the moving tyre and the floor. If suppose oil or granules of sand is there on the road, then slippery would occur and hence skidding happens.

What was the cause in World War 1?

The assassination on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was the proximate trigger of the war. Long-term causes, such as imperialistic foreign policies of the great powers of Europe, including the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the British Empire, France, and Italy, played a major role. Ferdinand's assassination by a Yugoslav nationalist resulted in a Habsburg ultimatum against the Kingdom of Serbia. Several alliances formed over the past decades were invoked, so within weeks the major powers were at war; via their colonies, the conflict soon spread around the world.

The Americans were forced to join WWII because the Japanese Navy and Air Forces bombed Pearl Harbor on Sunday, Dec 7, 1941. On Monday, Dec 8, 1941, America declared war on Japan. The same day, Germany declared war on the USA.

The Germans never declared war on America. Germany never wanted a war with America. Hitler believed the US was weak because of its "Americana" or the fact that it was made of many diverse people. Hitler believed in a pure race and admired the Japanese for this, and as far as I can remember, declared war on the US because of the aspects of its people.
Japan's attack on the US Fleet at Pearl Harbor left them woth little room to turn th other cheek.

What alliance was stronger the triple entente or the triple alliance?

Strategically the triple alliance had a very strong position because they were all linked by borders ,almost like a wall in between the triple entente, and could therefore, effectively cut off all communication between Russia, Britain and France. However because Austria-Hungary attacked Serbia -thereby immediately bringing Russia into the war- they could not put their strategic location into effect. Another large part in the beginning of the war was that Italy did not join in until May 1915 by which time the weight of numbers of the triple entente had given them a large advantage and so the triple alliance also started off the war by losing one ally and their strategic position.
