Causes Of World War One

Causes of WW1
Every country played a specific and prominent role in that lead to the war. Everything seemed to be peaceful in Europe but the spread of nationalism and it impacted in the Balkans the most. Several forces were properly prepared for putting Europe into this “Great War”. Other countries were increasing their expenditures on armaments, and forming alliance systems. The immediate cause of the first world all started in Austria-Hungary and their negligence to let Serbia get back some of their territories. The main causes of World War 1 were Militarism, alliances, imperialism, and Nationalism.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand had been the heir to the Austrian-Hungarian throne. It was wonderful news all over Austria but to the Serbs, it had
bee a great mistake that had extremely impacted the future as a world. Serbia’s tension with Austria goes back to the Serbian ethnics irredentists claims to specific regions that were still at the time owned by the British. Serbia nationalism asserts that Serbs are a nation of cultural unity it is often referred to as ethnic nationalism. In the Austrian- Hungarian Red Book No.7 they had been upset that the Royal Serbian Government did not repress to the rebellion movements and they have let people pass with criminal machinations of various societies and associations that have plotted to bring down the Monarchy and Austria-Hungary Royal Government condemn this behavior of dangerous propaganda to the Monarchy (Document 3). The Serbs had clear and specific motive against Austrian-Hungary and it was to bring down the Monarchy. A Serbian nationalist with secretive military group known as the Black Hand had then propelled the major Europeans military powers towards war. These events all lead up to the assassination of the Archduke and his wife Sofia, at this point this is where it had been declared the first world war that will immensely impact Europe and other countries. At this time this where the scramble for alliance systems, since Serbia were apart of the then Entente Powers.
The scramble for alliance had finally been set it was the Entente Powers against Central Powers.
The allied powers were largely formed as a defense due to the aggression from Germany. Germany had declared war on France in 1914 and the French have been long preparing for war after Germany went to war with Russia. An excerpt from The Century of Total War, the rise of Germany who supremacy to France had been dreaded and have threatened England had created and alliance between these two countries that had been threatened by a common enemy. This made a better defensive in nature and also denounced German propaganda in an attempt of encirclement. The entering of the United States had been unexpected since Germany had been secretly trying to get Mexico on their side and work against USA. Then Germany puts out another request stating that any ship sailings in the specific oceans were going to be shot down with the German submarines. The alliances encouraged mutual support and involvement on the signing parties in case of an unexpected conflict. On the Eve of World War 1 the alliances systems were the members of the Triple Alliance: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy and the members of the Triple Entente: Great Britain, France, Russia, they contributed by forcing the great powers of Europe to go to war when their allies did. The last cause of World War 1 , European nations began arming to protect their assets , it increased size and strength of military, and it caused Europe to become extremely unstable. Per Capita expenditures of the great powers on armaments, mostly three countries increased in the amount of money and it increase on the chance of war because it prepared the countries for war (Document 1).
