Another reason WWI was inevitable
Another reason WWI was inevitable
During the 1910’s, European countries had a huge conflict arising between 9 main countries. 6 of those countries had created the Triple Alliance, and the other 3 created the Triple Entente. These countries had fought on for a couple of years until the American Congress had chosen to send American troops because of a rising conflict with Germany. Most Americans believed that the entry of the U.S into WW1 was inevitable, especially the fact that they would join the Allies side. I believe that the entry of the United States along with their choice of sides being the Allies into WW1, was inevitable.…
One of the important causes of WWI was militarism. In document C, you see the increase in payment for new navies and materials for armies. With the increase in new artilleries, tensions between countries rose to a new level.…
World war one was a war that created new ways to fight and new countries to develop, but what really needs to be addressed is what caused all this happen. With militarism, imperialism, and alliances came the two other indirect factors, which were threats and tension. Mobilization in countries increased tension and threats throughout the world. Tension had been developing over the years between different countries and this war had come to settle it. Major European nations were the start of this all. The increased tension in these nations was a big indication that there was going to be a war.…
One underlying cause of World War I was militarism. Militarism is when nations invested heavily in their armed forces in order to remain stronger than one’s enemies. Well first Great Britain spent the most money on its navy so it could have a very strong military. Also Germany spent the most money on its army, to also have a very strong military. This evidence supports the claim that militarism was an underlying cause of the war because Germany had the strongest power on the continent. But the British navy was the strongest in the world. So obviously both countries, Germany and Great Britain, began to battle to see who had the strongest and most powerful military in the world.…
World War 1 was Inevitable in many ways. The key word in this question is "Inevitable''. My Oxford Dictionary defines…
In 1914 WWI started after a while people started to wonder if the US was going to join the war. Here are three reasons why it wasn’t inevitable that the US wouldn’t join WWI. The first reason why it was not inevitable was that the trade business was booming. From both sides they had ports saved for us merchant ships and were blocked off for others entering.…
Another underlying cause of WWI were alliances because when alliances are made by certain countries, other countries are threatened and then they make their own alliances to have protection, then the previous alliance feels threatened by the new alliance. An example of this would be document 4, which is a political cartoon. It shows a bunch of men from different countries pointing at one another. They are accusing one another of starting the war. It also shows how countries would gang up on one country so the country getting pressured, gets help from other countries.…
As said above, there were four main causes of World War 1. Militarism was about policy of aggressive preparedness. Militarism was a huge part in this war because people walked around feeling as if they had to keep the military on a higher standard than Germany. Germany believed in themselves, which made them fight first. Alliances was European nations that formed a balance of power throughout Europe. In document 1, alliances was a big thing because in each country they believed in different things. For example, they had different point of views on who started the war. Imperialism was the practice of exchanging a…
War is often times inevitable, a conflict between two or more countries may arise and they battle with armed weapons until there is one side which achieves victory. World War One was battled by the Allied Power and the Central Powers; it was a conflict that occurred worldwide. It is often times acknowledged as the First World War, and eventuated from 1914 to 1919. No subsequent or former conflict had ever restricted as many soldiers or involved as many in any battle. As the war terminated, it was known as one of the goriest oppositions that has ever been documented history.…
The four main causes of World War I are nationalism, militarism, imperialism, and alliances. As Europe underwent extreme changes and industrialization, these causes began to pop up throughout Europe. The Industrial Revolution and Scientific Revolution had just ended, and Europe was looking for a time of peace. Although there were many movements for peace, concepts like nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and tangled alliances created tension throughout Europe. This tension would ultimately create a global conflict that would tear the world apart.…
One cause of World War I was Militarism. Germany had an industrialized military and spent millions of dollars trying improve and prepare them for war. Many other countries seen this newfound competition and started to try and rebuild their armies and navy so they could keep up. With Germany’s new and improved army, they started to gain confidence and were convinced that they could win a war. Germany was very focused on utilizing their army. As soon as the war declared, Germany without a doubt didn’t hesitate to “make the first move.” This caused a problem however because of the other nations rush to industrialize their armies and try to make them just as good or if not better than Germanys. Militarism played a huge part in the cause of World War I.…
World War I broke out across the continent of Europe causing massive destruction along the way. A war like this did not just simply happen overnight, it had many preconditions and precipitants that lead to the whole continent getting into a World War. There were four major ideas that led the nations of Europe to take up arms against each other. The precipitants include the death of France Ferdinand all the way to the declaration of war. These major ideas were nationalism, imperialism, technology and industry, and alliances.…
The first underlying cause of WWI was imperialism. That is where large superpower countries do into smaller countries. A good example is the Great Roman Empire that was taking over smaller countries for 2,214 years. Germany and Great Britain were the two power countries trying to establish control in Africa and Asia. Due to rebellions of the native people and interferences by each other and other countries, they were not entirely successful. This lack of cooperation between European countries in the attempt to govern and control weaker states so as to use their products for trade caused tension, and finally after it built up to a certain point, war was the only option left. Other countries were aware and getting nervous, which brings up the next cause the alliance systems.…

My favorite part of the first chapter however, would have to be about how appriection and the feeling of being needed was one of a person's main goals in life. I believe that statement to be true as well, I see that situation in my own life. If I did not feel appreciated at my school or in my own family, I don't think I would be as happy of a person as I am today. People need that love and acknowlegement in life. If there wasn't any of that, what would be the point in waking up everyday to a world that didn't know you even existed. You might as well be the last person left on earth, because that's what they feel like anyway. There was a situation in Carnegies book about an insane woman that caught my attention. The woman's physician described her story about how her husband didn't appreciate her, or even love her for that fact. He wouldn't allow her to have children either. This woman eventually became what we know as "insane." She was asked how she was every night and stated that she had a new child (every night), and that she was married into English royalty. The physician gave this statement, "If I could reach out and make her sane again, I wouldn't. She's much happier as she is." I loved this statement. It says to me that happiness is extremely important, no matter how you get there. Wanting that appreciation and love, can make a person "insane" if they don't have it. But, why is that person considered “insane”? Maybe they are the sane one's who realize that we need this to go through life, that woman knew that, so she found a way to feel appreciated.…
