Causes of World War I

Cannot be strongest country in the world w/out a strong military.

The glorification of military power is known as militarism.

The strongest nations of Europe began to prepare for the possibility of war.

More soldiers and more weapons.

Technological Advancement = Newer, stronger, and deadlier weapons.

European nations looked for friends and allies for support

Two great alliance systems were formed. Triple Alliance: Germany, Austria-Hungary,

and Italy Triple Entente: Great Britain, France, and

Russia

▪ Each alliance signed agreements with smaller, less powerful nations (“friends in low places”)

Grey=Neutral Countries

Europe competed for colonies in Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world

Colonies provided raw materials

Desire for colonies aggravated national rivalries in Europe

Disagreements sometimes led to conflict

Rivalry Among Nations Intense pride in one’s own country

Often leads to competition

International Sports Events: Healthy

Early 1900s Imperialism: Unhealthy-view changes to enemies

Desire for Self-Rule

Russian, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman Empires all multinational:

▪ Included many different nationalities and ethnic groups

Want to be SELF-GOVERNED

Economic Competition Heightened by Industrial Revolution

Need large amounts of raw materials

Competed for natural resources

This competition increased tension in Europe

The stage was set, only needed a spark.

Gavrilo Princip assassinates Franz Ferdinand (heir to throne in Austria Hungary.

Princip was a member of a group that wanted all Serbs to be united in a self-governing nation.

Believed the assassination would help this goal, but instead started a war between Serbia and Austria.

Russia supported its ally, Serbia.

Germany supported its ally, Austria.

Soon, most of Europe was fighting. The “Great War” had started.

List the four MAIN causes of WWI.

What is militarism?

What countries are in the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente?

What is nationalism?

How did Imperialism help cause WWI?

What was the spark that started WWI?

How did the alliance systems cause a domino effect after the spark?
