built 653 days ago
Building Military strength occurred among European countries before World War 1 broke out. Nationalism encouraged public support for military buildups and for a country's use of force to reach its goals. By the late 1800's, Germany had the best trained army in the world. In 1898 Germany began making a naval force that was big enough to challenge the British navy. In 1906, the British navy launched the Dreadnought, the first modern battleship. The Dreadnought had greater firepower that any other ship of its time.

At the end of World War 1 in November 1918, the German generals surrendered rather than experience defeat on the battlefield. Immediately, the myth was circulated that Germany was “stabbed in the back” by internal enemies—Jews, Communists, Socialists. Even though Jews had served loyally in the German army, antisemitic feelings in Germany were heightened by the “stab in the back” allegations. In the popular mentality, Jews were equated with Bolsheviks and were to be feared as a major threat to the survival of Germany.

World War One saw the rise of the aircraft as a weapon system and the changing face of war. Trench warfare would dominate the ground forces in bloody battles of attrition, but the skies would be ruled by the first aces of aerial combat. The aircraft changed the modern battlefield as much as gunpowder did centuries earlier. The Red Baron and Canadian Ace Roy Brown would duke it out above the ever-changing frontlines utilizing these 'flying wooden crates'. Synchronized machine guns, monoplane, biplane and triplane designs and plywood aerodynamic construction would usher in a new chapter of warfare. War in itself would never be the same again.

Maybe you need to qualify your query; how WW1 affected women where [it wasn't called a world war for nothing]. The effects on Russian women,were, quite literally revolutionary; in Britain, the expansion of women into male fields of employment eg. the development of the Womens Land Army were instrumental in the achievement of women's suffrage (1918/28), etc. etc.
