Okay, Christelle, let's switch to English for these. Here are the answers to your questions: 1. What are the causes of World War I and their global impact (consequences)? Causes: The main causes were militarism, the complex system of alliances, imperialism, and intense nationalism*. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the immediate trigger. Global Impact (Consequences): Millions of deaths, widespread economic devastation, the collapse of major empires (Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, Russian, German), the creation of new nation-states, the Treaty of Versailles, and the formation of the League of Nations*. It also laid the groundwork for World War II. 2. What are the causes of World War II and describe their consequences? Causes: Causes include the harsh conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of totalitarian regimes (Nazism, Fascism, Japanese militarism), the policy of appeasement, the failure of the League of Nations, the Great Depression*, and German expansionism (with the invasion of Poland as the trigger). Consequences: An even higher death toll, the Holocaust, the use of atomic bombs, the creation of the United Nations, the beginning of the Cold War*, decolonization, and the emergence of the United States and the USSR as superpowers. 3. Why did World War I spread? World War I spread due to the alliance system, which created a domino effect, imperialist rivalries that involved colonies, new military technologies (like trench warfare) that led to a prolonged stalemate, and the total mobilization of societies in a concept of total war. 4. What do you understand by the policy of appeasement? The policy of appeasement is a diplomatic strategy of making political or material concessions to an aggressive power in order to avoid conflict. It is often associated with the policy pursued by Britain and France towards Nazi Germany in the 1930s. 5. Define the following terms: Cold War, Détente. The Cold War* was a period of geopolitical tension after World War II between the Eastern Bloc (USSR and its allies) and the Western Bloc (United States and its NATO allies). It was characterized by an arms race, proxy wars, and ideological conflict, without direct large-scale military confrontation between the superpowers. Détente* refers to the easing of strained relations, especially in a political situation. This term is often used to describe the period of improved relations between the United States and the Soviet Union that began in the late 1960s and lasted until the late 1970s. 6. Describe the origin, four causes, four manifestations, and four consequences of Détente. Origin: Détente emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, as both the US and USSR sought to reduce the risk of nuclear war and manage the costs of the Cold War. Causes: Fear of nuclear annihilation (following the Cuban Missile Crisis). Economic pressure of the arms race on both superpowers. The Sino-Soviet split, offering the US a diplomatic opening. US desire to disengage from Vietnam and focus on domestic issues. Manifestations: Strategic Arms Limitation Treaties* (SALT I and SALT II). The Helsinki Accords* (human rights, security, cooperation in Europe). Increased trade and cultural exchanges. Joint space missions (Apollo-Soyuz). Consequences: Reduced immediate tensions and the risk of direct superpower conflict. Improved diplomatic channels. Criticism from hardliners in both blocs. Détente did not end the Cold War, which saw renewed tensions in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Send me the next one 📸
