World War I

Consider the role of diplomacy in World War I. How was it a positive influence? How was it a negative one?

  1. It was a positive thing because by relations with other countries, they had a "back up system" to help them win the war. The negative part is what countries are allied with what countries. You can be the strongest world power and be paired with the weakest country which is not a positive thing. It can also be negative because u could have relations with a country that is enemies with your ally. It's complicated business!!

  2. In my opinion some positive influence in diplomacy during World War I is being able to have your stong alliance and somebody to help back you up in a war. In this case the allies were fighting because of the dispute between Serbia and Austria-Hungary. Having more than one alliance can make your army alot more powerful and successful. A negative influence can be when a country in your alliance may disagree in an idea that you have given. Not always will they agree with you, you must compromise and determine what can help make your alliances stronger. These allies became interested with the idea of defending their country.

  3. It was a positive influence in the sense that the president could control the nation in a logical sense. This meant that he was the one in power, regardless of what others thought. It WAS negative because of the fact that if he had this control and used it in an irrational way, the results could be detrimental. In WWI, his moral diplomacy was good up to a certain point.

  4. The role of diplomacy in WWI was a positive because it was "supposed" to keep us out of war. Being neutral meant we would NOT be for either side and the side that lost could not have a grude on us.
    It was negative because it made the president more hesitant to enter the war even though Germany was trying to recruit Mexico to have war against us. It could have gotten worse than it was.

  5. I believe it was a postive influence becasue all the power was in the president's hands and us being neutral. But that didn't last for long becasue we entered the war.

  6. the role of diplomacy was positive because we didnt enter the war right away and we stayed neutral, which meant we had no enemies against us at the time. it was negative because we waited a lil too long and other countries were already trying to plan to go against us.

  7. It was a positive influence because the president of the US had all the power. He had the power to keep the US neutral, but he went on a fought in the war. It was a negative influence because having alliances with other countries created even bigger problems. One friend could have been your enemy's friend.

  8. Of course I would believe it was a positive influence because I am American and our president had all of the power in his hands. If I lived in one of the other countries then I would say that it was a negative influence because I would have been afraid that my country wasnt prepared to enter WWI.

  9. The role of diplomacy was partly a good thing. These negotiations kept us out of the war for a while and gained us allies so that we can provide materials for the was thus fueling our economy but is was also bad because america has a history of intrusion in othe countiries affaires so that like school drama we eventually become involved like in world war one. It goes both ways but for america deplomacy was very good for us at the time
