.....World War 1.....

WWI began in 1914 began when the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assinated. This war was between the Allies and the Central Powers, and in the end the Allies win. The Sussex Pledge was introduced, saying that Germany promises not to attack any other country without warning. The U.S. got involved during the Zimmerman note, which was when Germany wanted to become allies with Mexico. This war also started Militarism and Nationalism and affected Europe. Europe was affected by this war because their defenses were weakened and Russia falls to Communism and the Great Depression bagan. <3

!!Darfur!!

Darfur, located in Sudan which is Africa's largest country, has been involved in a crisis. This crisis started in the spring of 2003 when the SLM and the JEM launched an attack against the government's military and political and economic marginalization. President George W. Bush has declared this crisis a "genocide" and is the first president to make such a declaration. Darfur is being torn apart by the constant war and many people are now suffering.
