How Did The Triple Alliance Cause Ww1

The British had undisputed control of the continent and had very strong thriving economies in the colonies. They also had very large war debts as a result of defending the colonies during the war. This led to the British conclusion for colonies to start paying more taxes in order to pay off these war debts and start making a profit for Britain. On the other hand, the colonies wanted things to stay the way they were. They saw the principle of foreign taxation as leading to a time when Britain would tax the colonies dry and make life there miserable. This led to the fight that eventually led to revolution and independence.

Even if the British accepted some ideas of the colonies and were a little more opened minded to the colonists, the war couldn’t have been avoided because the colonies wanted to become independent. They wanted to break away from the king. By this time, their patience was growing thin and the power that the king had was being abused.

The british wouldn’t let the colonists fight their own wars and the colonists had to pay for protection for an army that was not wanted. The colonists were not

At the end of the war Britain had much more land and much more financial burden. The only way to get out of debt was to tax their citizens which angered the people causing an uprising. The British colonists had felt confidence in their ability to fight because of the experience they gained during the French and Indian War.

Similarly, Austria Hungary made alliance with Serbia to stop Russia from gaining control of Serbia. While, in 1882 Germany and Austria-Hungary had an alliance with Italy to stop taking sides with Russia.

World War I had occured between July 1914 and November 11,1918. The war had been caused by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. When a Serbian terrorist had drove by shooting him, and his family. Then when Austria-Hungary demanded reparations (amends), they declared war against Serbia. Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism had lead to the cause of World War I.

This attack caused Russia to come to Serbia’s aid and Germany announced its entry into the war. The next cause of the war was the agreement between nations. Many countries had agreed to help each other, and this spread the war beyond Serbia. These alliances were called the mutual defense alliances. Due to these alliances, they were obligated to protect each other in case of war. So, started something bigger. Germany supported Austria-Hungary and attacked France. This forced France into the war while Britain joined the war to protect France. Japan and Italy followed to join the war and finally, America. The two sides were called the Allies or the Triple Ententes and the Central Powers. The Triple Ententes consisted of France, Britain, and Russia and the Central Powers were Austria-Hungary and Germany. Italy and the US joined the Triple Ententes. Another strong cause of the war was Imperialism. Before the war many European countries clashed in Africa and Asia. This rivalry between the big powers accelerated the process of thrusting the world into World War

The British and the colonists also known as patriots were at war with each other over the patriots independence. “The conflict arose from growing tensions between residents of Great Britain’s 13 North American colonies and the colonial government, which represented the British crown.” Tensions rose due to the colonists saying that the

The whole problem originated because the British were in a decent amount of debt and taxes were increased on the Colonists. Originally, the British did not tax the colonies very much, but it was considered an outrage. The Colonists started to create armed protests and pouring tar and feathers on people connected to Great Britain. The colonists were unhappy when they realized they were being taxed with no representation Great Britain was known for their exceptional navy, well organized and disciplined army and a government to control and protect. The colonies were lacking all three of these essential war aspects.

After the French and Indian War (as is known in America) the British decided it needed to have more command and control of the colonies. Reasoning behind this was that colonial expansion was invading on Indian lands. This created tensions and required fighting support from British troops and therefore the British felt it necessary to make policies. It was also expensive to provide the fighting force and no taxes or funds of any sort were being collected from the colonies, causing the British to go into debt.

The British did not do well at the beginning of the war. The British wanted the colonies to have a united response to the attacks but they rejected the proposal and continued to care about their separate interests. This was not a smart move for the colonies and they would have been much stronger if they had listened Benjamin Franklin’s plan to unite the colonies.

During the French Indian War, two parties were fighting together with the colonists and Britain. Although they were fighting for two different reasons, the colonies wanting personal security and Britain soldiers fighting for their country, they successfully fought off the French and gained their territory. After the war, Britain suffered a financial crisis and had to start taxing the colonies that had already suffered a great loss from the war. The colonists already wanted representation but the taxing just fueled their desire to be seen as equal, and even though at the time they may not have wanted a war they had just started the preparations for one. After the French Indian War, Britain was broke and they needed a way to make money.

I believed it’s the first reason that it was about economic. The war so badly damaged the economy of the nation’s holding colonies that it was impractical to try and hold onto colonies that were resenting and resisting being controlled.
