World War I Propaganda

This piece of propaganda is from the UK. It is trying to convince people that the war isn't as bad as they think and that they will have fun playing sports and that kind of stuff in the army, which is untrue.

Wilson's 14 Points

Cartoon Interpretation: I believe the cartoon is trying to portray how Engalnd, Japan, European powers, and other foreign powers are fighting over the USA's power as an ally. The ties holding down the USA also represent the League of Nations created by President Wilson, but the USA never actually joined the League of Nations.

1. This would help because international business would not be behind closed doors and America would be able to be at peace with the rest of the world.

2. People will be able to freely travel mostly wherever they want on means of water and not be faulted.

3. If economic barriers are destroyed, then not one country would be in poverty while another has surplus. Everyone would have equal trading rights and be in the same national low poverty rate.

4. ???

5. Countries will be able to peacefully determine what countries rule over what colonies.

6. Russia will stay out of disputes until they are ready on their part to aid. They will also most likely aid the USA when they need the help with the help they given Russia previously.

7. All foreign powers will leave Belgium and let Beligium restore itself and create a better government for itself. This will help America by creating a stronger ally.

8. All foriegn powers will leave France and restore FRench land that has been invaded, such as Alsace-Lorraine, to help create a better/strong/united ally for america.

9. Italian borders will be clearly defined.

10. Citizens of Austria-Hungary will be treated more fairly.

11. All foreign powers will leave Romania, Serbia and Montenegro. Serbia can freely travel the sea.

12. Turkish people of Ottomon Empire will be given safe governing. Peoples under Turkish rule with be given security of life and autonomous development. The Dardanelles will be open for free travel and trade.

13. a polish state should be created and have a free and safe route to the sea.

14. A league of nations shuold be created to regulate rules and agreements between foreign countries.

Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand

The first difference between the accounts was about how the plan to kill the archduke was concocted. The video shows us that Princip was the main mastermind of the plan. The People's Almanac tells us that it was concocted when 3 students were turned in to an official for planning some stunt against the archduke, the officer coincidentally being a leader of the Black Hand.

The second difference between the two is that the People's Almanac said that the Austrian government found out about the plan and had warned the archduke himself. In the video, no one had any idea that there was a plot to do anything concerning the archduke Frans Ferdinand.

A third difference between the accounts is that in the video they knew that they failed at assassinating the archduke when planned. In the almanac reference, they thought that they had succeeded in killing Frans Ferdinand and went to celebrate.

A fourth difference between the accounts would be how the parade ended up passing Princip at the coffee shop. The video showed them taking a wrong turn and trying to turn around. The almanac explained that they were going the way planned but decided to turn around to head toward the hospital to visit the injured officer.

The fifth difference I noticed was how Princip managed to kill the archduke and his wife. The video showed Princip pulling out his revolver and firing two or three shots at them from a distance, killing the archduke's wife instantly and the archduke died an hour or two later. The People's Almanac excerpt said that Princip walked up to the car and a shot the archduke who died 15 minutes after being shot. He then aimed at the officer but the officer grabbed his arm, screwing up his aim, making him accidentally shoot the archduke's wife.

A depiction of how Princip supposedly ran up to the archduke's caravan a shot both the archduke Franz Ferdinand, and his wife Sophie Chotek.
