Pros And Cons To Prevent Ww1

Tactics and alternatives that could have been completed could have contributed to the prevention of the Total War such as not providing AH with the blank cheque. Germany shouldn’t have given the blank cheque, as it might’ve lessened AH’s confidence to give Serbia an ultimatum. If AH would have requested German aid, then it would have needed to be authorized first with a bunch of principles to follow.

Gavrilo Princip, the Serbian nationalist, who assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria could have missed his shot which would have avoided all of WW1. Princip maybe would’ve been arrested on sight, also expose the rest of the group who were attempted assassins. If Franz Ferdinand would’ve been alive, AH wouldn’t have gone to war with
Tsar Nicholas II should’ve resisted his generals’ persuasion since Russia was not even physically, technologically, and economically ready. Russia didn’t have the weaponry and money to use for war which is why they dropped out of the great war in 1917.

If European leaders made more sense of them not wanting to go to war it would’ve made a difference throughout Europe. Leaders weren’t fond of war but of personal interest and pride such as Kaiser Wilhelm II. Nationalism became uncontrollable which is why countries started to manufacture armaments to compete with other European countries. Wilhelm II knew he didn’t incline war right after the damage was in the July Crisis. Russian Tsar Nicholas II needed persuading to
Reasons that caused the Great War which made it rigid for prevention was militarism and expansion of army. This caused fear throughout Europe if neighboring countries were expanding the army and had a strong economy. Firstly, Militarism caused fear and as well as the arms race along with the European nations which lead to nationalism. Secondly, Nationalism was the patriotism for one’s country due to an achievement or nationalistic feeling most citizens had. Nationalism created leaders to be self-centered and only thought about personal ambition instead of logic. Thirdly, Imperialism was another unpreventable policy which helped the production of WW1 since opposing powers were rioting and weren’t agreeing with the location of land occupation. Fourthly, Alliances also triggered it by forming a two-sided alliance in Europe: triple entente and the triple alliance. Secret alliances were also formed which was disliked greatly by the majority as well as the Europeans. Fifthly, July Crisis includes the assassination of the Archduke, which instigated the then unpreventable war. Further events such as AH giving Serbia an ultimatum and later declaring war on them, resulted in Russian mobilization where Germany later declared war along with army mobilization. France mobilized and later Germany declared war on them too which proved the idiocy of Wilhelm II. Britain declared war on Germany and then AH declared war on Russia which
