world war 1 is considered a major turning point in history. how did the war change the nature of warfare,the map of europe,and the outlook of modern society?

Answer 1

The War lead to a jump in warfare technology on both sides - which is why the stalemate could not be broken permenately. For instance we had these new machines called "aeroplanes" and some smart chap decided to mount it with a camera to take pics of enemy trenches - some some other chap on the other side decided to send up some more planes with guns to shoot down the camera planes (thats the birth of recon air craft and fighter air craft). Warfare generally was a large chess game - where when two sides were at war they would move their armies and whoever "won" the moving game won the war with few casualities - ww1 changed it to be an army killng war.
In terms of borders and society - Europe lost he major central empires Austro-hungary and Germany. Both were made smaller with section being turned into independant nations. For society this attempted destruction of Nationalism challenged many concepts of what it was to be a citizen, Additionally society began to grow wary of leadership structures and the rise of communism and other "leftist" ideals began to flourish.

To sum up:
We learnt how to kill each other with ruthless effciency and...
as a result we grew to be distrusting of our leaders and developed a desire for "social responsibility".... we're still feeling the effects of WW1 - these effects wont be played out in full for many more years to come as well...

Answer 2

well basically it was a huge turning point due to the technology used. Such as the Tank, Poison Gas, Radios, Airplanes(but a small amount of planes, not like ww2). The mapping of Europe came when the Big Three aka the winners(U.S. Brit and France) decided to disarm Austria-Hungry and make it several smaller states, including Germany.

The outlook on modern society: everyone hates americans because we win most of the time and get to rearrange and "fix" everyones lives.

In contrast, the war did not change because they were still using a tactic called "trench warfare" which slaughtered thousands and had no effect of winning or losing, only by seeing which side can have men still standing first.

Crikey! You're asking for a book, not a brief answer! It changed war by confirming that aerial warfare (bombing etc) introduced in WW1 would be critical in all future wars (thereby deluding USA and others into believing that dominant aerial power could win wars with minimal ground troops and USA deaths; which had repercussions in Korea, Vietnam, etc, and rendering The West broadly incapable of confronting guerilla warfare is in the so-called war on terrorism). It changed the map of Europe by finally undoing the legacies of the Austro-Hungarian empire, dividing the world for decades into the paranoia of East/West, Russia vs USA/the West which perpetuated the earlier European capitalist fear of communism so every freedom movement was labelled communist and thumped (e.g. Vietnam, Sth America) ... and led eventually to horrific waste on both sides until USSR collapsed, re-drawing national borders and alliances. It affected modern society as The West (especially USA) fostered puppet States regardless of their totalitarian or other qualities, to serve as potential bulwarks against the "Domino theory" of the "creep of Communism", or other percieved potential national threats to US hegemony - e.g. Saddam Hussein, South America n "friendly" dictators and the assassination of Allende, Israel, Afghanistan, etc. Although USA came late into the war its industrial power was critical in defeating Hitler, so it emerged with itss competing historical convictions of seperatism on one hand, and "specialism" (the missionary conviction that as God's new chosen people Americans had a vital task to reshape the world) on the other. Seperatism has apparently won in the economics field, with subsidies etc; "Specialism" seems to have won in Americans' view of themselves as having all the political and social answers despite their own endemic poverty and sectional social disadvantages. The mess sin the Middle East is the result. China peeps over the horizon, and the US seems intent on developing a new enemy - a new "clash of civilisations". Meanwhile we have climate change threatening all life on Earth - but until very recently it has been the "elephant in the room" everybody tried not to notice, and now make only futile gestures at. Take your pick! History is most often shaped by elements nobody noticed at the time ...

??? changed the method of attacks, changed our weapons actually upgraded them dramatically, better planes with better and straighter guns,
