HISTORY ASSIGNMENT

Romanticism was a movement of mid 18s CE which was started by German intellectual and thinkers especially it was launched in the Napoleonic era. Romanticism directly fostered the sentiment of nationalism in Germany. J.G Fichte promotes the notion of German national spirit that could unite different Germans states. Romanticism was a counterpoint to French regionalism. Fichte put forward the romantic idea of Germany's superiority which further increases sentiment of nationalism. By the passage of time, the national feeling spread across Europe. Thus we can claim that romanticism was a precursor of nationalism, romanticism and nationalism has a strong link.

World War 1 drastically impacted on western women's lives in the circle of politics and economy. Women played a significant role in WW1; they filled the gap in the agriculture sector and manufacturing field when men of the country were busy on the battlefield. Moreover, women worked as a nurse as well as a driver. But they didn't work in the battlefield with men before WW1 women were restricted to house core mostly, but after WW1 they started work in all field of life, one most significant achievement was their right to vote which they get in the 1920s after WW1.

On the other hand, Soviet women (eastern women) also worked as a nurse, but they also worked as solider on the battlefield. Generally, women of the east and west were specified for household work but after the war rights of women was realised and the number of feminist movements emerged. The one thing which doesn't still change is the economic gap between men and all over the world. Even in modern developed countries women are still facing the same problem which they face in early 20th CE. For instance, the weekly wages of women in the US are 770USD while men are earning 941USD.

Fascism, communism and socialism have some similarities and variations in it. Fascism stated that corporations should be worked with the government for the betterment of the country. Dictatorship also knew as corporatism. In Fascism, only one group take over the state affairs; this is called oligarchy. In socialism, the government cannot own businesses just public of the can hold it, but in communism, people have no right of property and business. All three isms are for the betterment of the society; these three isms are the economic and political structure which tries to eliminate class gap instead of Fascism.

There were four leading causes of WW1 which initiated the war. Imperialism, nationalism, alliances, the murder of Archduke Francis Ferdinand. WW1 is known as the total war in which the majority of countries were involved. After WW1 league of the nation was founded by victorious states to prevent bloodshed of humanity, but the association was failed. It was one of the causes of the outbreak of WW2. Furthermore, Nazi Germany and the treaty of Versailles are other causes of WW2. WW2 brought globalisation, institutionalism and foster International law and International Relations.

We have an extreme example of genocide in history which was based on national sentiment surely I am talking about genocide in Nazi Germany. Where 60 million people were killed is known as the Holocaust. Hitler thought that they belong to Aryans progeny, so they are superior to any other nation; this was the reason they murdered 60 million Jews.

Before capitalism people were sophisticated, innocent and social, they rely on each other and had heartfelt sentiments. Contrastingly capitalism has made society selfish, arrogant and competitor. People seek their benefit for them money is above all the norms, values and customs. Capitalism has made society a working society in people are busy in their work. In addition to capitalism converted a society into consumerism.

Although capitalism makes western society a modern society, it destroys the social system of society.
