“Great War”–Something New or Something Old?

Topic: “Great War”–Something New or Something Old?The start of the Great War (World War I) in 1914 has often been used as the end of what has been called the “Long 19th Century,” c. 1789-1914, as historians often argued that the Great War marks the next phase of world history in the 20th century marked by World Wars.Based on your study of the 19th century in previous weeks and your study of the Great War this week, do you think that the Great War was more a “continuation” of the 19th century or a “break” from the 19th century? Why?_______________________NOTE: *An informal citation using a webpage/artifact can appear in parentheses following your discussion of the artifact and looks like this: (Name the creator of the artifact if known, skip otherwise, first, “Name the object,” and if it is from a website use , finish with the date you accessed the page)Example: This joke has grown old so I am sticking with the previous format, “that History 3B’s Assignment 4 webpage contained a generic image describing primary sources.” (Blake Johnson, “Week 4 Assignment Generic Image,” HIST-3B-42539-F19 <$CANVAS_OBJECT_REFERENCE$/assignments/g770dbfbcfe103f834d029e8daa3c113b Accessed [put date here]) _______________________Tips: You can (but don't have to!) consider any of the following:What, if any, aspects of world history that we've been studying do you think change as a result of the Great War starting in 1914?What, if any, aspects of world history that we've been studying continue through the Great War?Do you agree or disagree that the Great War marks a "new phase" in history? Why?Is the Great War just a continuation of "old wars" with new technology? Why or why not?Does "Total War," and its connection to the "nation-state," represent the culmination of the development of "nationalism" and the "nation-state" that we've studied in previous weeks? Why or why not? *NOTE: There are no right or wrong arguments; I just want you to practice making connections to produce a historical argument
