FAQs on Class 12 History Question Paper Solved (2024) - 13 - History Class 12 - Humanities/Arts

1. What were the main causes of the First World War?
Ans. The main causes of the First World War were militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism. These factors created tension and conflict among European powers, eventually leading to the outbreak of the war in 1914.
2. How did the Treaty of Versailles contribute to the Second World War?
Ans. The Treaty of Versailles imposed heavy penalties on Germany, leading to economic hardship and resentment among the German population. This helped fuel the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, ultimately leading to the outbreak of the Second World War.
3. How did the League of Nations attempt to maintain peace after World War I?
Ans. The League of Nations attempted to maintain peace after World War I by promoting disarmament, resolving disputes through negotiation and diplomacy, and providing aid to countries in need. However, it was ultimately unable to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War.
4. What role did the United States play in World War I?
Ans. The United States initially remained neutral during World War I but eventually joined the war in 1917 on the side of the Allies. The entry of the U.S. into the war helped tip the balance in favor of the Allies and contributed to their eventual victory.
5. How did the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk impact the outcome of World War I?
Ans. The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, signed between Russia and the Central Powers in 1918, allowed Germany to focus its efforts on the Western Front, leading to a series of offensives that almost brought about a German victory. However, the entry of the United States into the war and the exhaustion of German resources eventually led to the defeat of the Central Powers.
