May 5, 2024

Question: What were effects of WWI on at least two different regions of world? Please include three effects and limit your answer to pre-1939.
Evidence: Please use at least four library sources (one primary and three secondary) to complete this assignment and you may feel like you need more to properly answer the question. The four required MC Library sources can be books, Ebooks, digital articles, book chapters, and digital databases like JSTOR or New York Times Historical. Online Encyclopedias or random websites (not connected to MC library) are not considered sources. Please visit the class guide here for a database of primary sources as well as assistance finding additional sources: https://middlesexcc.libguides.com/WWI.  Please prioritize the primary source as it will be key to crafting original arguments and providing firsthand perspectives. 
Additional Tasks:
Library Instruction Module: Please join your instructor for an in-person meeting to discuss how to use the library to complete research for your project. Please have a look at the dedicated library guide for the course before the meeting and have the page open during the meeting: https://middlesexcc.libguides.com/WWI.  At that page you will find many primary sources curated by MC Librarians – see the tabs labeled  “WWI Primary Sources” and “The Interwar Years Primary Sources.” Another great resource for primary sources is the New York Times Historical. Go to: https://middlesexcc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://www.proquest.com/hnpnewyorktimes/advanced/reset/?accountid=40481 .There you can search old copies of the Times. Set your date range from 1914-1939 and everything that appears is a primary source.

Getting Started: 
Topics/Thesis: This research project asks you to prove that WWI (1914-1918) impacted Europe, the USA, or the world  in three ways. It is a very broad question. You may want to explore a political, a social, and an economic effect or simply look at three social changes that came about because of the war. A couple example theses might be:
“World War I, in part, caused the Armenian Genocide, the disastrous Treaty of Versailles, and the rise of fascism (Nazis and Fascists).” With this thesis, I would divide my paper into thirds and then set out to prove that WWI did in fact impact the Armenian Genocide, the Treaty of Versailles, and the rise of fascism.
Another thesis might be: “WWI had a pervasive impact on the rise of racism including the rise of fascism in Germany and Italy, and race massacres in the USA.”
Or, “The impact of WWI on Germany led to the rise of Dadaism, fascism, and economic turmoil. 
List of possible topics to use for your thesis.
Effects on Europe:
In Europe, the war manifests in new destructive means including trench warfare and total war. PTSD (shell shock) is widespread. A generation of men is lost – physically and mentally. 
Immediately after WWI women’s suffrage spreads across Europe, recognizing the role of women during the war, with the key exception of France (1945).
Sex Disqualification Act of 1919 (Britain) enabled women to go to university, become professionals (doctors), and enter the civil service. By 1930, one-third of British women worked outside the home; also seen as a result of the role of women during the war.
Destruction and loss in Europe lead to a reconceptualization of liberal democracy which gets blamed for the war. Alternatives like socialism/communism and fascism are promoted instead. 
The Treaty of Versailles, which ends WWI, severely impacts Germany leading to hyperinflation and the rise of the Nazi Party (fascists). 
In the aftermath of war new ideologies including Fascism and Communism come to denominate in the 1920s and 30s. 
WWI leads to the Russian Revolution which creates the first Socialist country. Socialism/Communism spreads globally as a result leading to “red scares”.
The Treaty of Versailles brings peace to Europe but is flawed. The treaty that ended WWI might foretell another World War (WWII begins on Sept 1st 1939). 
Italy and Germany embrace fascism as a reaction to spreading communism and the Treaty of Versailles
Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia are created in the aftermath of WWI. Germany especially, is impacted. 
Immediately after the war, Europe experiences massive inflation and then also the Great Depression.
Minority groups in Europe, including Jews and Armenians, are scapegoated for the failure of WWI and the economy. 
The Ottoman Empire conducts the Armenian Genocide during WWI to distract its population from the fact it was losing WWI. The genocide also took place during WWI because the world was distracted and thus had no outside intervention. 
The art movement known as Dadaism and later Surrealism, reflects the tensions/confusion of the age. 
Holodomor or Ukrainian Famine or Ukrainian Genocide 
Ukrainian Independence (post-WWI)
Effects on USA: 
As a result of WWI, US becomes a global military and industrial leader.
Progressive Reforms change the lifestyle of many Americans including African Americans and women who helped win the war. 
Approx. 500,000 African Americans moved into northern states – “The Great Migration” seeking to capitalize on the freedoms promised when they fought in WWI.  
Race riots occur in most major northern cities. 
19th Amendment passed on June 4th, 1919 recognizing the role women played in winning the war. 
WWI sees the spread of socialism and communism as an antiwar reaction. A ‘Red Scare’ hits the nation as union membership increases. 
Benefiting from wartime spending, The Roaring Twenties introduce the US to consumerism and materialism and large-scale use of electricity.
Inflation rises after WWI and debt increases leading to 1929 Wall Street Crash and the Great Depression.
The US stays out of the League of Nations designed to prevent another World War. 
US corporations, and the military, begin having a major influence in Latin America.
Trying to capitalize on the equality of African Americans serving in WWI, an artistic African American movement, known as the “Harlem Renaissance”, took place in NYC 
Global Effects:
Countries all over the world participated in WWI sending either troops (1 million Africans, Vietnamese, Indians), as laborers (China), or financially involved (Brazil).
Soldiers, especially from African and South-East Asian countries fought in the war as a result of European colonialism. 
Nationalist and independence movements rose during or immediately after the war as Europe’s power declined due to the war.  
A sampling of nationalist movements include: Irish Republican Army, Indian National Congress, Pan-African Congress, Zionism, and the Kuomintang of China. 
Immediately after WWI colonial revolts began in the Middle East and South-East Asia. 
A new state was invented, Iraq, created by the British for its oil resources.
Inspired by the Russian Revolution, socialism linked Pan-Africanists from America, Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean through the writings of George Padmore and W.E.B. Dubois. 
Similarly, after supplying the most laborers of any non-European country to the war effort in Europe but then rejected at the Paris Peace Conference, China increasingly embraced socialism as a rejection of western ideals. 
In Central and South America one imperialist (Europe) was replaced with another: America. As Europe receded during and after WWI, American corporations such as the United Fruit Company moved in. American military intervention followed.
As boom and bust economies emerged, Latin Americans increasingly turned to their military (military dictators) as a source of stability.
Getting Started with a thesis.  Choosing topics (thesis points) may prove difficult. First revisit the lectures and course material you discussed in class about WWI. Try to find topics that interest you and begin looking through Ebooks and MC online databases found here: https://middlesexcc.libguides.com/WWI. Another way to find basic information on the suggested topics listed above (or other topics you are interested in), is to search Facts on File (an encyclopedia) which is available online through our library. See the “Topic Overviews” tab on the online course guide for a quick way to get to Facts on File. Please note that encyclopedias do not count towards your required sources but can be helpful for background information. 
AI: AI or LLM’s like Google’s Gemini or ChatGTP can be a helpful tools for this project including using it as a summarizer tool or as an AI editing or formatting tool. Whether you use Ai or not you must still prove that the information you are using is factually accurate. 
Presentation: Answer the question above in a c. 5 page, double-spaced essay (approximately 1250 words) including a “Works Cited” page that does not count towards your total number of pages or word count. This is a short paper – therefore make your ideas count.  Papers will be graded on how well you use MC Library resources (books, articles, Ebooks, digital databases, JSTOR), the accuracy of your historical interpretation, the clarity of your presentation and argument, and whether or not you achieved the task of proving WWI impacted Europe/USA. You must provide MLA parenthetical citations for interpretations or factual points that are not your own [Example: (Smith, p. 100).]. The due date is listed on your syllabus and failure to turn in the paper on time will result in a letter grade per-day reduction. A rubric is on Canvas and Turnitin will be used to grade. Please talk to me if you would like to present your project in a matter that is not a tradition paper.  
Citing Sources and information: when in doubt cite. For this paper parenthetical references are fine. At the end of a sentence that needs a citation place the author and page number in parenthesis (Smith, p. 100). You should provide citations for direct quotes and any factual or interpretive points that are not your own. Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the “Works Cited” page. Please use MLA (Modern Language Association) style for all citations and for the “works cited” page which should be the last page (page 6) of your paper. For an overall guide to MLA and how to cite books, articles, see: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_formatting_and_style_guide.html In MLA style, referring to the works of others in your text is done by using what is known as parenthetical citation. This method involves placing relevant source information in parentheses after a quote or a paraphrase. When in doubt cite it! For example: “Napoleon saved France” (Smith, p. 87).  Therefore, on your “Works Cited” page you must have the corresponding full citation for the book: class textbook: Smith, John, Fake Citations. New York:  Norton, 2014.  
Works Cited Page: please create an alphabetical list of the sources (books, articles) you have used in your paper on the last page of the paper. For a book, the author’s name appears in the last name, first name format. 
The basic form for a book citation is:
Last name, First name. Title of Book. City of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication.
For an article in a scholarly journal:
Author(s). “Title of Article.” Title of Journal Volume. Issue (Year): pages.
Cite articles from online databases (ex.  LexisNexis, ProQuest, JSTOR, ) and other subscription services just as you would print sources. 
For examples on how to cite any possible resource please see:

Plagiarism: don’t do it. Turnitin will be used on these papers. No one asks you to be an expert.
