Artistic: To what extent did governmental usage of propaganda during the war constitute a significant change from the 19th centuyr philosohies and actions of governmetns?
Social: To what extent did the war remove major impediments for women and the wokring classes in early twentieth century European economies?
Intellectual: Analyze the extent to which the war experiences destroyed the intellectual worldviews of the 18th & 19th centuries.
Social: World War I majorly improved conditions for women and working classes because the war required mass support from the public in order for the Triple Alliance or Triple Entente to succeed. Women were given posts as stand-by nurses or home-base nurses. They were heavily depended on to treat injured men quickly and efficiently to the point where they can return to fighting. The working class was needed to mass produce new weaponry and technology. Machine guns, tanks, and airborne vehicles were the most prominent during the period. The workers were given jobs to craft and build the basic parts needed to put together these major developments. However, a new form of weaponry, chemicals, required expertise of knowledgeable scientists. They were employed by the military to create substances such as chlorine gas as a counter to the trenches. This tactic known as chemical warfare was first used and created by Germans. In conclusion, the war had devastating effects towards countries that lost comparatively to Germany and Austria. The winning countries, France, Britain, and the U.S., obtained more job opportunities for the working and middle classes that stimulates their capitalistic economies. However, in co-ordinance with western and central Europe, humanitarians strove for universal suffrage and rights more so than in the 19th century.

Ok, still waiting for some more people to jump on board.
The Dawes Plan- this was plan attempted in following World War I for the Triple Entente to collect war reparations debt from Germany. After five years the plan proved to be unsuccessful so the Young Plan was adopted in 1929 to replace it.
Weimar Republic - was parliamentary republic and was established in 1919 in Germany to replace the imperial form of government.
Provisional Gov't was established after the tsar Nicholas II had abdicated his throne and it only lasted for 8 months until the Bolsheviks took control. its most prominent leader was Alexander Kerensky.
Artistic: During the war, the European governments started to use propaganda as a weapon which allowed them to sway the minds of the citizens. Germany especially used propaganda because of their attempt of implementing a civil peace plan within their country. The propaganda promoted nationalistic and government approved ideas.
