Study Guide ... 1984

notes

The 20th century

historical background - from 1906 to the 1st World War

Home Policy. It was a period of moderate rule and great social reforms under George V.

1906: The Liberal Party wins the general elections; 1911: The money Bill is signed; 1912: The National Insurance Scheme is approved; it assures the workers a sum against sickness and unemployment

Foreign Policy - Ireland gets the Home rule (an independent Parliament) but the Protestants in Ulster do not want to be included in the scheme. The Sinn Fein (in Celtic language: ourselves alone) is created by the Catholics.

1916: at Easter, the members of the Sinn Fein rebel in Dublin calling complete independence, but they are defeated and executed (Easter Rising). Subsequently they form an Army, the Irish Republican Army or IRA that uses terrorist methods. The English parliament decides not to move directly against them because it understands the importance of the support of small nations during the 1st World War. A police force, the “Black and Tans” is sent to sedate the rebels.

1st World War -Britain and Germany ally against France. But William II of Germany wants to challenge Britain on the sea and tries to get influence on the Balkan States. This represents a danger for Russia for the control of the Mediterranean and for England as in this way Germany can assert itself on Egypt and India. So Britain starts an alliance with France (Entente Cordiale) and Russia (that supports Serbia).

1917: Russia collapses because of the Bolshevik Revolution

1918: The Peace Treaty is signed In Versailles and the League of Nations is founded in Geneva.
