Yes Imperialism and Nationalism were huge components into WW1 but Militarism tops the charts. For war you are going to need soldiers to fight it for you.

The 4 main causes of WW1 were Militarism‚ Alliances‚ Imperialism‚ and Nationalism. Following the war‚ the nations of Europe needed to address these issues. I feel that the conditions outlined in the Fourteen Points would have been best to address the cause of the war.

Post-World War 1 Tensions After World War 1‚ there were many problems and unresolved issues that caused a lot of tension. The economy was at risk because many nations owed each other a lot of money. England owed the U.S. money that they borrowed for the war‚ so they decided to use the reparation money Germany owed them to pay America back. However‚ Germany didn’t have any money due to the excessive reparations‚ so they borrowed money from the U.S. This circular system eventually collapsed and the
