Bismarck’s alliance system brought peace between the European countries. (Stewart, Fitzgerald, Pickard 12) His alliance system starts with a treaty with Austria-Hungary who was one of the 5 powers in Europe. In 1879, Germany and Austria-Hungary signed the Dual Alliance, which was planned as a merely defensive arrangement or military alliance. Both governments promised that they should help or remain neutral when other powerful countries such as Russia or France attack. (Stewart, Fitzgerald, Pickard 13) The second allied country was with Italy. In 1882, Bismarck turns Dual Alliance into Triple Alliance by making Italy to join in his alliance system. Since Italy had close friendship with Great Britain, although Italy was not a strong military nation, it was an influential part of the Alliance. And at the same time, Great Britain and Germany had conflict in North Africa on colonial aspiration. Therefore, it was the perfect time to be an ally with her to isolate France. (Stewart, Fitzgerald, Pickard 14) Making Great Britain as a close friend was a benefit for Germany. Bismarck’s next target to isolate France was Russia. In 1881, the Dreikaiserbund was made a treaty, which was the agreement between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia promising not to help the fourth power, France. However in 1884, this treaty had renewed and Russia refused to renew her membership in Dreikaiserbund. Then Bismarck discussed the Reinsurance Treaty with

First he wanted to surround France with strong countries to prevent further aggression by them. Second he wanted to restore a balance of power so that no country would be threatened by another and last he wanted to restore Europe’s royal families to the throne.

Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy (triple Alliance) made up one alliance, but Russia, France, and the UK (triple entente) made up the other. Militarism played an role in this war because every nation wanted to have a great/strong army similar to Great Britain's. Imperialism played an role in this particular war because they was fighting for land and possessions. When looking at the dbq the one of the main reason for the war were alliances.

As shown in document A, it is quite noticeable that the central powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy) were ideally close together which makes them seem even stronger in power. By being so conveniently close to each other, it must have been easier to establish a strong military base and also obtain a lot of armaments for the war. Because these countries neighbored each other, they had more efficient communication between military and also the government where the allied powers did not. Despite the fact these countries were right next to one another, they also had an extreme growth in military weapons and equipment right before the war had started.(Document C). This gave the central powers an enormous advantage. They had gained more power and control over the others which created fury within other countries. This displays great importance because evidence shows that unbalanced military power was not exceptional for the citizens of

A system of alliances was originally created for protection and guarantee that they would be of aid to one another if attacked. However, they were more harmful than beneficial because they caused countries not involved in the argument to fight against one another. The Triple Alliance which was made up of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy was on one side of the war. The Triple Entente which was made of Britain, France, and Russia was the other side (Document A). The opposing countries began to declare war against one another, and soon the entire continent of Europe was at war with itself. The start of the war spread like wildfire throughout the world, and in one newspaper were shown to be blaming each other based on their alliances for who killed the peace in Europe. The blame game between the childish nations only created more tension, as they had to support the countries they made alliances with (Document B). All in all had it not been for these complex alliances, a more local conflict being the assassination would only have brought about a war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, instead of turning into a continental war. It forced nations not involved in the initial argument to participate in the “Crime of the Ages,” even if they did not want

In the 1800s, leaders developed the idea of a balance of power. They saw what happened with the Napoleonic Wars, and wanted

There was two main Alliances between states the two were germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy which made up the triple alliance. The other alliances was Russia, United Kingdom, and France which man up the Triple Entente. When having alliances it can affect all the countries in the alliance. When The alliances come to join forces they focus more on destroying themselves instead of fighting for the real prize which was the peace of Europe which is represented in document B, Also when the join forces the triple entente have a huge disadvantage because they are more separated than the triple Alliance. The triple alliance are all clumped together while the

Two Alliances were formed in Europe preceding World War 1. The triple alliance consisting of: Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary (Document 1). The other alliance being the triple entente, which was made of the three powers: Great Britain, Russia, and France (Document 2). Both of these alliances were formed to oppose one another. When there was a conflict preceding the war and Germany rose up, France formed an alliance with Great Britain and Russia in order to have a defense in case of an attack from Germany. In turn Germany took this as a sign that these countries were preparing for a conflict. So, in response they formed an alliance with France and Austria-Hungary.

The Congress of Vienna was a series of conferences held in Vienna, from 1814-1815. In which many European heads of government met to establish long-lasting piece, preventing revolution and any other nations from becoming to powerful, on the European continent after the defeat of Napoleon. Even though many countries came together to discus an issue, “the Congress of Vienna was more successful than many other peace meetings in history” (Beck, 241). The most influential of these representatives was the foreign minister of Austria, Prince Klemens von Metternich (Beck, 238). An additional great influential representative was the French foreign minister Prince Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, who was sent behalf of the French monarchy

During World War II, Hitler created many different death camps and transit camps. One transit camp in particular is Theresienstadt. It is located near Prague, Czechoslovakia and its alternate name is Terezin. Theresienstadt was a transit camp that was supposed to be a “model” camp to do away with the accusations of murder of the Jewish people. Theresienstadt had a movie made about it even though its conditions were terrible, it had its own form of “government”, and it was a camp where children left their art and poems before their death.

It is understandable that some of the other countries still felt the threats leveled by Napoleon’s rule, and wanted to make sure the power was balanced within all the 5 countries. One of the most influential of the representatives was the foreign minister of Austria, Prince Klemens von Metternich. Metternich was suspicious of the democratic ideals of the French Revolution. A good number of European aristocrats, including von Metternich, believed that Napoleon’s actions had been an expected result of experiments with democracy. Desiring to keep things as they were, Metternich stated, “The first and greatest concern for the immense majority of every nation is the stability of laws—never their change.” He had three main goals at the Congress of Vienna. First and foremost, he wanted to avert future French hostility by surrounding France with strong countries. Secondly, he knew a balance of power must be restored so that no one country would be a threat to any of the others. Third, it was his desire to restore Europe’s royal families to the thrones they had held before Napoleon’s

It was the last of the meetings held by the European powers in agreement with the terms of the Quadruple Alliance between Russia, Prussia, and Great Britain. It took place in October-December of 1822. It was predominately held to consider the revolutionary situation in Spain. This congress agreed to support France if it should be attacked by Spain.

When Napoleon was sentenced to exile in Elba, The Congress of Vienna was held. The Congress of Vienna was supposed to sort out all of Europe’s problems in a nonviolent way. Countries from all over Europe sent their delegates to represent them. The big countries were Britain, France, Austria, Prussia, and Russia. Their delegates decided on a new Europe, a Europe that left both Italy and Germany divided into states. In 1861 Italy was unified, as well as Germany in 1871 due to strong nationalist movements. France lost the Alsace-Lorraine to Germany which had a lot of natural resources in the Franco-Prussian war and were now eager to take it back. In Sebria and Austria-Hungary lived large areas of differing nationalist groups, all enthusiastic to become free from the states in which they lived.

With the German invasion of Luxenbourgh and Belgium directly breaking treaties previously signed stating peace Roosevelt stated to not take sides. Roosevelt's reaction was that of no concern at first, yet he was concerned once war erupted in Europe. Mainly concerned that the war would disrupt the balance of power in Europe and the German invasions would lead to German invasions pressing forward into Latin and South America. German military occupations in Latin America would pose a direct threat for the US if this were to be true. Roosevelt felt the problem would inevitably resolve itself prior to occupations in Latin America based on the principles that a balance of power still exists. A balance of power is the way the European government had operated for quite sometime now. If one nation-state became all powerful and started campaigns to take over other nation-states in Europe, a coalition of nation-states would form to put down the aggressing nation-state to insure the stability of their own nation-state. Therefore, according to Roosevelt and his political realist views, a country
