World War I was a war against three European countries England, France, and Russian versus Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary. Friedrich Engels explains in The Origins of the First World War (Doc A) the aftermath of the Thirty Years War caused many devastating effects like famine, sickness, want and brutalizing the population and this is being compared to World War I saying that the same outcome happened in three or four years instead of thirty. World War I was caused by different factors nationalism is one of the major causes, the fight over colonies, and the expenditure on the armies to cause such a massive war. The Franco-Russian Military Convention (Doc E) explains that France and Russian will work together to help each other when either are attack by the enemy.

Why would you start a war? Would it be because of pride, or other people being different than you, or wanting others’ land? These two reasons are imperialism, when a larger (or sometimes smaller) force comes and takes over an area, and nationalism, the belief that ones that speak the same language, look alike,etc. should have their own independent nation, or a strong belief that one's country is top priority.. They were both major factors in a war that included countries from all over the world called the World War I (the Great War), but Nationalism happened to be the one that caused more of the chaos. Imperialism was and always will be a big thing the world.…
World War 1 was called ‘The Great War’ because the world had never seen anything like it. However, the consequences of the peace that settled World War I would ultimately steamroll into a conflict that would be an even bigger disaster.

World War I, also known as the Great War, was a global war centered around Europe. The first four years of “total war” that constituted World War I (1914-1918) changed the lives of not only the men who fought as soldiers, but the people who remained at home. Some effects of the Great War on the European home fronts during the first course of the war were nationalistic feelings, working women, dwindling food supplies, and the rise of socialism.…
According to Merriam-Webster, historians define a world war as “a war involving many nations of the world.” World War I, also known in Great Britain as “The Great War,” had a tremendous financial and psychological impact on western civilization and the world. World War I marked the beginning of great technological achievements, which lead to the inventions and use of mustard gas, tanks, submarines, and airplane bombs.

Militarism is the aggressive preparation for war. European states wanted to build up their military, but empire neighbors were reluctant to sit by and watch the build up of a military so neighboring empires feel forced to also build up their military. In the History book it states, “European armies doubled in size between 1890 and 1914.” From this I can suppose that, Europe wanted to make their army stronger than any other army, so they could defend themselves when they went to war. I can compare this to when Hitler created a really strong army that nobody could defeat. The author wrote, “Influential military leaders drew up vast and complex plans for quickly mobilizing millions of soldiers and enormous quantities of supplies in the event of war.” This demonstrates that they wanted to be ready just incase they were attacked. This shows that they wanted to be prepared just in case they were attacked by other nations.…
