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.

World war 1 was ultimately caused by imperialism. Different nations wanted control over more land and to be the dominant nation in Europe. The assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie was a small but very powerful event that led to the beginning of a very long chain of events. Alliances between lots of different countries also contributed to World War 1. The war first started just in Europe, but alliances with many other countries outside of Europe caused the conflict in Europe to become a world war. The Arms Race was another factor of the war. Certain European countries competed against each other to see who would have the most powerful army. A large amount of money was spent and pretty much every country in the Arms Race adopted conscription. Global conflicts on such a large scale are rarely ever because of 1 simple cause. Nation leaders acted unreasonably and the war could very easily have been prevented, and many lives saved.…
