Five Themes of Global Studies
• Global Interrelatedness- A majority of the countries were involved in
World War One.
• Indentity and Difference- Great Britain was fighting for it's country
to keep it's identity and culture from being affected by the other
countries who were also fighting in the war
• Technology vs. Nature- During World War One, Great Britain had
the advantage of having a strong Navy.
