Part 6

World War 1 was a perfect storm. A system designed to keep the peace did not work out as planned. "The out break of that war was something of an accident, and that none of the major state plan or predicted the Archduke assassination or deliberately sought a prolonged conflict, but the system of rigid made Europe vulnerable to that kind of accident."(Strayer p 984). Ive noticed a pattern during this journey of world history. That is, it only takes one action small or big that can create conflict with a few individuals or cause a World War. One thing I did learn was why Mother's Day was created. It was created to encourage women to go back to work and not compete with men in the work place. "Women were urged to leave factory work and return to their homes where they would not compete for “men’s jobs.” French authorities proclaimed Mother’s Day as a new holiday designed to encourage childbearing and thus replace the millions lost in the war."
