Down fall of the Turkish Empire

The downfall of the Turkish Empire was brought on by the Turks themselves. The downfall was due to the sultans of the empire. They where no longer being educated and they also no longer cared about what was going on with the people. The problem was that they just wanted to go and have sex with their concubines, get drunk, and kill people. This went on for over several generations. During this time there where several instances when the empire could have been saved and preserved, but the people that could have saved the empire where either killed or corrupted by tradition. When the Turks went to war their leader had no idea what they should do because they had no leadership experience. When a country would invade the Turkish Empire they would gain large amounts of land with little difficulty. This trend would continue until the begining of world war one.

German battle plan

The over all German battle plan went from destroy france within the frist few weeks of the war then move to destroy russia to trying to issolate russia, gain allies to help with the war effort, and spread britains resouces thin. The war the Germans where trying to isolate russia was by cuting off comunication in the north using their navy, and helping the turks fend off the british and her allies to keep russia isolated in the south. This was a wise move on the part of the british because it would mean that the allies would not be able to corrdinate a large scale two front attack. The reasons that germany needed more allies because they had lost italy and they needed to get more troops into the battles. Germany at this point was holding the french and the british back on the western front, while simultaneously holding the russians back on the eatern front. Germany also had troops spread all over the world fighing the british and her colonies.

Global war

WORLD WAR 1 was a global war because it was fought all over the world. There was fighing in asia, the pacific islands, near South America, Africa, India, and of couse Europe. There had even been plans for a german invasion of the US. Athough this plan never went into effect, due to britians naval power, it would have expeanded the war so that the US would have joined sooner than we did. The Majority of the non europe fighting was done by the german navy and the british navy.
