One soldier got too close to Widow and she open her door and kicked the soldier back, without slowing the jeep down. The same process was repeated to Hawkeye at the back of the jeep.
Meanwhile, flying alongside Widow and Hawkeye was billionaire Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man, and 21 year old Danny Fenton, who is well known to the world as Danny Phantom, the Ghost Boy of Amity Park and Savior of the Ghost Zone andEarth. The two flying Avengers, now dubbed by the Avengers as the Flyboys, were blasting more HYDRA soldiers, Tony with his repulsars and Danny with his ghost rays while grabbing and tossing some, before the two rocketed toward the sky. Suddenly, a large armor vehicle came up besides Romanoff and Barton's jeep, and one HYDRA soldier swung a large laser cannon, pointing towards the two Avengers. Before the soldier can fire, the Prince of Asgard and Norse god of thunder Thor landed on the vehicle and threw the HYDRA gunner out before jumping off and swinging his hammer MjГёlnir and bellowing before landing at a nearby watch tower. He swung MjГёlnir at a HYDRA soldier before kicking another off the tower, before sending a punch to another and taking out flying HYDRA soldiers before grabbing another and jumping off the tower with him. Thor then grab a piece of the tower and swung at several ground troops like a staff. Suddenly, an armored motorcycle plow through the fray. The driver of the motorcycle is Danny's childhood

War in the Modern World
War has fascinated the minds of the greats throughout history. Its concepts and understandings have been passed on to us through the few surviving works of those, whose lives were touched by war, in an ancient archive. Some saw war as an ordinary, inevitable phenomenon that has a place among natural order of human lives (Jacob Walter), while others interpreted it as devastating and terrible deviation from the natural order of things (W.T. Sherman). Over the course of our archival readings we have learned of war through the records from the Trojans in their leather sandals (Hector), the horsemen of Sherman's brigades, the WWI soldiers with their new gas shells and machine guns, and eventually through the eyes...show more content...
The fact of the matter is that both are right in their unique ways, they simply live in different realms and have different eyes that see war differently. They may both be right, only from their respective positions. War can bring the best in people, as well as the worst, it is the ultimate test oh human morality, and at the same time war shapes its own morality into human structure. That is why I conclude, agreeing with Tim'Obrian, that standard poles of morality, as represented by good or evil, are inadequate when trying to analyze war. They simply act as answers to the question of people in one realm, and can never satisfy the inhabitants of both. But because we only have one physical world which citizens of both realms must share, the controversy and thus the irony associated with war will continue. Looking at this small sample of archival history we notice the consistency of war throughout it. Viewed as a sample of history, it allows us to reason that war was a part of human history from the beginning. It has always existed on Earth, be it wrong or right, moral or pointless, but it appears to be always necessary. It seems that humans can not live without war. Some of the stories we read of war are shocking. They portray drastic changes in people, bringing the primal instincts out in them. At times some solider seem act and, more importantly, reason in a manner

World War One was many years in the making with separate incidences occurring between the empires that ultimately lead up to war beginning. With many powerful empires on edge and wanting to be the most powerful, they did whatever they could to make this happen. The First World War was not sparked by one event or motive, but in turn was started due to many major factors. The war's blame can be placed on all of the countries involved, rather than solely Germany. These factors from World War One were the product of each empire and their long–term needs such as nationalism, imperialism, militarism and the alliances. The short–term event that was the final push to start the war was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Militarism was one of the key major factors of the war. Soon after Britain created their battleship, Germany revealed their 60 ships from a man named Alfred Von Tirpitz . A naval battle arose between the two and their relationship weakened immensely. Both Germany and Britain wanted to have the better army, and taking up naval weapons was the beginning of the hate and jealousy each country had for one another. Germany's past ideology that they should not anger Britain because Britain was dangerous was an ideology that was now put aside. Part of being a powerful empire meant having strong, effective military willing to go to battle at any time for their people. In a book written by Ruth Henig titled The Origins of the First World War, Henig says, "The Kaiser and
The first World War is universally considered to be one of the single deadliest events in human history. World War I is undoubtedly one of the largest military altercations to ever take place, with a duration of five years, involving 32 nations. Over the course of five years, the war killed almost 37.5 million people, approximately 57% of all soldiers involved (britannica.com). One might suspect a conflict on this scale would have arisen from a divide in ideology or from a dispute over prized resources. However, it was a politically unimportant event paired with pre–established military alliances that created one of the deadliest conflicts on Earth. The initiating event occurred June 28th, 1914. On this date, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir...show more content...
The German attack on Belgium forced Britain into the conflict due to an agreement to protect Belgium's sovereignty and neutrality; thus, Britain also declared war on Germany. Next to enter the conflict was the Ottoman Empire, modern–day Turkey. Next, Italy entered the war, fighting against Germany and Austria. The War had grown to the point that nations were no longer viewed as individual armies, but as international alliances conducting warfare. Britain, Russia, France, and Italy were the main forces for the Allies. The opposing force came to be known as the Central Powers, composed of Austria–Hungary, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire. These central nations in the European Theatre forced divisions throughout Europe and through the rest of the world. Due to the global expansion of War involvement, German Forces began to engage on all sides. Germany had the second largest Navy in the world by the beginning of the War; the Germans increased their Navy usage as the threat of an attack from the sea became imminent. The increase in German Naval defense eventually led to a German U–Boat sinking an American passenger ship called the Lusitania, which was operating a trade route near German Territory, this finally pushed the disengaged America into the War. Then, on December 5th of 1917, Germany signed an armistice with Russia, ending the conflict between the

Jaxon went first, and then Emmett, and then Ryker. One by one, and it took weeks to get the all of the countries, but not the leaders and programmers that made the chip. Everything changed after the chips were put into the population's brain. There was no fun, no creativity, no life in anybody. There was no laughter, no anger, no feeling. Everybody talked politely, no life shown through it. The populace was under the government's mercy at all times. The government also changed who everybody's friends are. The government had Jaxon and Emmett no longer be friends because the government wanted absolutely no happiness. The government also rearranged everybody's jobs to where the people who were working had no fun either. One day, as the chip continued to tell Emmett what to do and where to go, Emmett was walking home and tripped on a rock that the chip did not see. Emmett hit his head so hard that it broke the chip inside his head. He lay unconscious for 30 minutes, and eventually woke up. Emmett stood up and looked at the world around him. He was furious.
Emmett was told by the government that they would only use the chip to stop wars and crime of that sort. He was so mad that he went home and slammed the door and stayed home the entire day, even though he should go back out and talk grieve with the other kids.
Emmett just sat there in his bed, thinking how the government could lie to him, after all the work he did for them in the past. After
The Causes of World War II At the end of the First World War all the different countries such as France, United –Kingdom, United–States and Germany thought that the peace would last forever. However, as we have seen, they were terribly wrong… In 1939 a more violent and destructive war began. This time people fought all over the world, in Asia, Europe and also in the United–States (Pearl–harbour). I shall now explain what the main causes of the war were. The aggression began at the end of the First World War, when the Treaty of Versailles was signed and Germany was forced to pay a lot of money to France for the reparations of the obliterated cities. Their country (Germany) had to be divided ...show more content...
He wanted living space in the east and he wanted the destruction of communism. He also wanted to expand the German ideology all over Europe. Another long–term cause was the weakness of the League of Nations. It was clearly not bound together by the strong bonds that it needed
For a start the main super powers of the world were not in it, especially USA, and USA did begin the League of Nations. There was clearly no chance of peace with the League of Nations, as Hitler quite easily backed out without much question! It was far too casual for it to be a success. During 1936 to 1939, Hitler was annexing different countries, like Austria and Czechoslovakia. Churchill was the prime minister of the English government at the time, and he along with the French government decided not to react, they thought that Hitler was a "gentlemen" (this was in fact the exact word Churchill used at this time…!) and that he will not expand to more countries… however they were very wrong! An important factor displayed here is that the French and English didn't want to fight again; the effects of First World War were still on their mind… they did not want more destruction than there already had been. At the same time Hitler was taking over more and more countries (not entire countries but parts of them… he was using a technique he called

The Second World War began in September of 1939 and was between the Allies and the Axis. It began with Germany's unprovoked attack and conquest of Poland, and involved Britain and France from the beginning. Its origins lay in German resentment at the terms of the Treaty of Versailles (1919), the economic crisis of 1929–30, which favored the rise to power of Fascist dictators, the failure of the League of Nations to gain international acceptance for disarmament, and the policy of imperialism adopted by Germany, Italy and Japan as a means of acquiring raw materials and markets. As a part of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany had to accept full responsibility for the FirstWorld War, which then led up to the outbreak of the Second. The...show more content...
However, France remained passive without Britain's support. Britain was sympathetic towards Germany and even signed an Anglo–German naval Treaty (June 1935) allowing Germany's navy to be 35% of the size of the Royal Navy. In 1936, defying the Treaty of Versailles (1919), Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland. He marched 30,000 troops into Cologne on March 7, 1936. France, with 250,000 troops mobilized, remained passive because Britain would not support her. Britain took the view that Germany was 'marching into her own back yard.' To show that his remilitarization was popular, Hitler held a plebiscite, which showed that 98% were in favor. He went on to build his own defensive fortification, the Siegfried Line. Britain's policy of Appeasement (May/June 1937– March 1939) was also a cause of World War Two. Neville Chamberlain became the British Prime Minister on May 28, 1937, and followed the policy of appeasing Germany, believing that all Hitler wanted to do was unite German–speaking people. In doing so, Hitler would break the Treaty of Versailles but Chamberlain did not believe Hitler would cause war. Churchill disagreed, citing Mein Kampf (1924) where Hitler has written that Germany must regain lands 'in the East... by the power of the sword.' Little did Chamberlain know that he had misinterpreted Hitler's aims.

Cause and Effect on World War 1

It was a chain of events that had started this was which consist of key features such as imperialism, alliances, growth of militarism, crisis, and nationalism. It was the result of these accumulating factors that had eventually evoked war. The effects on World War One included over 8 million deaths, higher taxes, rationing of food, and etc. Imperialist is considered a primary cause of war.

All of these factors where established in many of Europe's "Great Powers" which consisted of Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria–Hungary, and Russia. The main cause focused on what I stated above, in the previous sentences. The causes of World War 1 include a growing sense of militarism, which was accompanied by arms race, and imperialism. Imperialism as economic rivalries and competition for colonies among European nations were prevalent.
What were the effects on World War 1? This war had a few effects on America society, though the war instigated problems, causing n effect that is negative on the American home front. "Americans experienced a lot of problems, like the narrowing of our rights and the war caused a patriotic sense to America that got to the point where people were discriminating people from other backgrounds." Also, from many soldiers drafted to war more job opportunities were available. Though this seemed like a good thing, negative effects came out of it
The war itself left an everlasting impact. After this was women were gaining more rights. They were gaining rights such as voting and sexual equality. The male dominance patriarchal ideas weren't so strong anymore. TheUnited States entered the war with the mindset of being neutral and isolated. Russia left the war allowing them to deal with the conflicts. The effects of the war included over 8.5 million deaths,
The First World War was commonly known for its lack of movement for soldiers on all sides. World War I took place on the Western Front from the autumn of 1914 to the spring of 1918. During the First Battle of the Marne, German advances were pushed back by the Allied forces. To stop themselves from loosing land they "dug in" and made protective trenches. The Allied forces were unable to break through the German line as a result did the same and made trenches of their own. Death was an event that many soldiers had met on the front lines daily. Due to attacks launched by air raids with large shell bursts numerous men were buried in the process of defending themselves. An often occurrence for many soldiers is being hit with a precisely aimed...show more content... It took about 12 weeks away from the trench to recover. Lice were not identified for Trench Fever until 1918. To prevent sickness many men opt to have their heads shaved to avoid nit and lice. Another medical condition that bothered life was Trench Foot. It was a fungi infection in the feet area caused by cold, wet and unsanitary trench conditions. Amputation was necessary when the infection get too out of hand. Trench Foot was common at the beginning of the war; it improved and faded in 1915 as conditions became better. The Daily life of a typical solider in a battalion was like a cycle each day. Men began their morning by waking to orders by their officers and sergeants. They had to climb up on a fire step to guard it from an enemy raid. Both sides actually new they were coming for each other, but they prepared themselves for attacks that were carried out anyways. In the early hours machine gun fires were heard from both sides along with shelling and small arms aimed at the fronts. It helped ensured safety at dawn. Next some areas would have rum being distributed to the men. They would soon attend to clean their rifle equipment that later officers had inspections for. Now breakfast is serve and eaten, as forces from both sides would have an unofficial truce. These truces would last long as it seemed as the quietest times during life in the front lines. Inspections take place right when breakfast ends, as a company or Get more content
World War One was regarded as an unnecessary and useless killing spree, where over billions of people gave their lives, only to gain a few km of overall land. World War One may have been one of the most horrible events in world history, but it was also a huge turning point for everyone on earth, and women were some that got impacted the most. They were finally viewed as legal persons, and many got recognized for their valuable contribution to the war efforts. Without them at our side to aid us, the world war could have ended any decency left in our world.

When the war started, most of the fit and strong men were recruited to join the army. With a lot of the men gone across the sea, the only reliable workforce was women, and not just for going to earn money. They filled workshops and factories and worked very hard, but at the same time, they were also the only ones who could take care of the children back at home. Another important thing was that because most fathers and sons were gone, they were going to need lots of food to survive. The problem with that is a lot of the soldiers were from farms, where men were more fit from all the farming. But now, the only people working on the farms were the mothers, little boys, and sometimes even daughters, who not only have to take care of the farm on their own but have to work much harder to be able to meet the needs of the government for the soldiers. The war was a significant turn of events in history, and many women benefited from that turn. Now, women are viewed as equal to men and given equal rights and Get more content
World war 1, also known as The Great War, was a global war in Europe that began on 28th July 1914 and ended on 11 November 1918. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilized in one of the largest wars in history. Over 9 million combatants and 7 million civilians died as a result of the war. The war was one of the deadliest conflicts in world history and has been a worldwide clash. Thirty–two countries were involved with two opposing alliances, the Allies and Central Power. The countries of the Allies include British Empire, France, Italy, Russia, Serbia, and the United States of America. While they are opposed by the Central Powers which are Austria–Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, and theOttoman Empire.

Notwithstanding political clashes, the reasons for the war included such powers as patriotism, or pride in one's nation. The conviction that one's own particular country or society is better than all others, patriotism drove European countries to contend to manufacture the biggest armed force and naval force. It additionally gave gatherings of subject people groups the thought of shaping autonomous countries of their own. Serbians, Czechs, Slovaks, Bosnians and numerous different people groups living under the guideline of the Ottoman or Austro–Hungarian Empires needed flexibility from "outside" tenet.
To conclude, the main causes of World War 1 is caused because of Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism. Each one of them has impacted and affected the World War 1. Militarism was one of the major causes of the war, as it was an armed race on who has more military equipment's. Alliances, was first thought to make peace between country and to help the countries.

The "Thirty Years War"
World War I and World War II are the largest military conflicts in history. In 1919, Europe attempted to reconstruct the damage left by WWI. After WWI, with the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was left destroyed and destabilized, which eventually laid out the foundation for WWII. The harsh terms of the Treaty of Versaillesled to the aggression of Germany. The Treaty of Versailles was supposed to bring about peace, but Marshall Foch, generalissimo of the Allied Armies in France believed that instead, it was an armistice for twenty years. The causes of WWII can easily be traced back to the unresolved issues of WWI, thus bringing about the idea of the "Thirty Years War." WWII is the second half of a longer "Thirty Years War because the first half, or WWI, caused economic instability, disintegration of the European order, political and social unrest and psychological damage. The causes of WWII were aggression of Germany and the appeasement that attempted to deal with the aggression, failure of the League of Nations, collapse of three major Empires, Germany's repudiation of the Treaty of Versailles, and the Great Depression. Ultimately, these causes can be traced back to the unresolved issues of WWI. The first direct cause of WWII that stemmed from WWI was the collapse of three major empires and the failure of the League of Nations. After WWI, no government was in the same shape before the war. The empires and dynasties of the Romanovs in Russia, the Get
