World War I‚ one of the most devastating wars in the 20th century‚ which took place in July 28‚ 1914 and lasted until November 11‚ 1918. No one knows for sure what causes the war‚ but the top four answers are Militarism‚ Alliances‚ Imperialism‚ and Nationalism.

The Kurdish political culture during Post-WWI did not prompt much Kurdish nationalism because the movement was neither powerful‚ nor compelling‚ but rather underdeveloped and new.

World War I (1914 – 1918) was a war that was caused by many different factors but there are four major ones. One such cause was militarism‚ with countries engaging in a weaponry race. Nationalism was another cause‚ making tensions between countries rise. The concept of alliances between major countries in Europe was a third cause. The final major cause of World War I was the developing feeling of imperialism in European countries. All these concepts and ideas came together in the assassination of

As previously mentioned‚ Lafore emphasizes that the primary cause of World War I was the tensions created in the Balkans‚ especially between Austria and Russia. I agree with Lafore’s conclusion that Austria-Hungary’s ethnic makeup was behind much of the problems that the empire faced. As he reiterates‚ these ethnic groups often clashed with the government‚ on the basis of establishing a nation-state for their nationality.

Why did Germany and its Allies Lose WW1? It can be argued that Germany and its allies faced a overwhelming war right from the start‚ but their desire to provoke and enter a war that involved the majority of Eastern Europe led them to being doomed right from the start. There are many factors that contributed to Germany and its allies’ loss of WW1; such as inefficient military decisions and plans like the Schlieffen Plan‚ and the lack of strength from Germany’s allies. But in the end it was the

WW1 was a truly global war‚ with combat taking place in some way or another on each of the worlds 5 populated continents. Over 15 million people died and a further 20 million+ were wounded in what became known as ‘The Great War’. The war itself was by no means one sided and is littered with numerous turning points where‚ had events occurred differently‚ the whole direction of the war‚ and the result‚ might have differed. It is my opinion that the Battle of the Somme is the most crucial turning point
