Alison is one of the world’s largest free
learning platforms for education and skills training. It is a for-profit social
enterprise dedicated to making it possible for anyone, to study anything,
anywhere, at any time, for free online, at any subject level. Through our
mission we are a catalyst for positive social change, creating opportunity,
prosperity, and equality for everyone. Alison was founded in Galway, Ireland, in 2007
and has grown organically to become a major force in free online education and
skills training. Today, with more than 13 million learners in 195 countries,
Alison is changing how the world learns and up-skills. They are committed to equality and access to
education and skills training irrespective of gender, geography, economic
status or any other barriers that can so often stunt potential. So they offer a
range of free courses that meet the many diverse needs of our learners. The UN
declared in Article 26 of the 1946 Declaration of Human Rights that “Education
shall be free…”. This statement will always inspire us. Alison was founded by Alison CEO, Mike Feerick. Mike is a businessman, but one with a
difference. He believes in social impact, and that you can build a financially
successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone
who believes that too, to support the Alison mission.
Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still
a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise making
our money through advertising, merchandise, and the sale of Certificates and
Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one. |
This course will begin by discussing the political alliances that formed before World War 1. You will learn that Australia, Canada, and India were all part of the British Empire before the war began. You will look into important events such as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand that led to the outbreak of the war. You will also learn that Libya was part of the Italian empire at the start of World War 1 and that Italy fought on the side of Britain and France.
You will then look into the battles on the Western and Eastern fronts that decided the outcome of the war. This course will also discuss the post-war settlements at Versailles that shaped world politics for decades to come. You will study the different treaties such as the Treaty of London in 1839, the Dual Alliance Treaty in 1879, the Franco-Russian Military Convention in 1892, and the Entente Cordial of 1904.
The battles of the First World War on the Western and Eastern fronts were devastating. By the end of this course you will have a much better understanding of how WW1 started and how the Treaty of Versailles concluded it. You will also have learned about some really interesting events of the post-war negotiations between the Allied Powers and Germany, and how Germany was punished for initiating the war. This is important world history, which you can learn today.
