All these factors and more led to a new type of war experienced in the first half of the 20th century: total war. Total war meant that all people, all parts of society were expected to be involved in the war effort. The first total war was World War I. This war was not simply between two or even three countries. It involved huge regions of the world. It also involved some major alliances. These alliances had been built for years and were one of the key causes of the war. On one side were the Central powers, including the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. The main Allied powers were Great Britain, France, and Russia. Italy, Serbia, Romania, and several other nations were secondary allies. The United States entered the war on the side of the Allies in 1917. The outcomes of World War I completely changed the balance of power in Europe. No other war in human history had changed the map of Europe so dramatically. Four empires disappeared. The populations of other European countries were devastated. World War I had major economic consequences: 1\. Many nations lost major percentages of their working populations. 2\. Central powers like Germany were forced to pay reparations to the Allies. But the impacts of the war did not end with economics. 3\. There were also major social and political side effects. Many people feared the level of violence experienced during the war. There were attempts to create peace. But there were also movements to create conflict. And in the years between World War I and World War II, leaders emerged who took advantage of nationalist ideologies. To say that people could have done a better job resolving World War I is a bit of an understatement No one was really happy with the outcome. What this meant was that World War I didn\'t end up being the turning point it could have been. It could have been a moment of great change in the world. But instead, it was followed by another total war --- World War II World War II took total war to a whole new level --- to a nuclear level. Some of the main players were familiar --- Germany, France, Britain, Russia --- but this time even more countries devoted most all their resources to the war. And this time the war happened in Europe and in Asia. The outcomes of World War II were even more devastating than World War I but both wars reflected a major change in the way that civilizations addressed conflict. And these changes are reflected in some of the major themes of world history: the expansion of political and economic systems around the world. Being so deeply involved in war efforts, people\'s relationships with their governments were forever changed. Suddenly people were deeply aware of how much their safety depended on more than just their neighbor, but on countries everywhere. It was a stark new world and a period of time worth understanding. BIG PERIOD: Global Conflicts and Recoveries ca. 1914 -- 1950 KEY REGIONS: Europe, United States, Soviet Union, Japan BIG THEMES: The expansion and interaction of political systems The creation and expansion of economic systems Understanding the Big Picture: 1914 to 1950 In the first half of the 20th century, military conflicts occurred on an unprecedented global scale. World War I and World War II were the first total wars that brought all of the warring nations\' resources into play. This, combined with improved military technology and tactics, led to levels of wartime casualties and damage that had once seemed unimaginable. During the time period between the wars, a global depression and new ideologies emerged that forced nations around the world into new relationships. In the end, a new balance of power emerged with two non-European nations becoming the world's dominant superpowers: the United States and the Soviet Union. **Map** -------
