Prussian Controversy-Mongolian Rivalry

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

What actually started the war was the alliances between countries. Countries in Europe formed alliances with each other (e.g., Russia, Britain, and France in the Triple Entente and Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy in the Triple Alliance) (Doc A). The countries in the Entente all blamed Germany for the war and felt the need to intervene (Doc B). Germany was backing up Austria-Hungary and Russia was backing up Serbia whom were in a spat. Which lead to invasions and more friends of these countries joining the war to aide them.

Due to Germany taking back the colonies lost after World War I and forming an alliance with Austria, Germany’s actions against the Treaty of Versailles contributed to the cause of World War II. After Germany got slapped with a $33 Billion dollar war reparation bill and Kaiser Wilhelm was removed from power, Germany was a mess, which allowed the rise of Hitler. Hitler, being a former Iron Cross winning

France and England created an alliance because they both feared Germany’s naval strength and supremacy. Despite claiming it was defensive in nature, it spread east and eventually, other countries were involved. Since Austria-Hungary and Germany were in dispute over the assassination, they became involved too. Therefore, alliance systems played a significant role in the outbreak of the war. Since these countries. became involved in

The first cause of war was alliances; though not the strongest motive, it provoked a large amount of tension leading up to the war. There were two “sides” to warfare- the Triple Entente, and the Triple Alliance- commonly known as the Allied and Central powers. As seen in Document 3, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and temporarily Italy, made up the Central powers while the Allied powers were

It would be preposterous to say that the Mongolian Empire was irrelevant in history. The Mongols, led by Genghis Khan, had put a massive imprint on the way the world is today. However, the rule of the power had created more chaos than harmony. The Mongolians of the Asian Steppe had a negative impact on the world during their rule of the Asian continent from 1260 to 1368 by slaughtering millions of lives, destroying complete cultures in their way for land and spreading a deadly disease to the world.

World War I took place in Europe in the early 19th century and was fought by Germany, Italy, Russia, France, Great Britain, and Australia-Hungary. These countries reasons for a war were nationalism, alliances, and militarism. Germany, Italy, Russia, France, Great Britain, and Austria-Hungary were all wanting the same thing, but they were too busy competing with each other to see clearly.

With the invasion of the Mongols, they interrupted many great post classical civilizations but at the same time, they also renewed and extended the global network. The Mongols were the mightiest war machine around during the time period of 600-1450 C.E. and they greatly affected China and Russia both politically and economically. Politically, religions were tolerated and there was centralized power in both regions. However, the Mongols allowed Russia to govern themselves with the help of Russian princes whereas China was under direct Mongol rule. Russia and China remained similar economically because both populations were taxed by the Mongols and safe travel on the Silk Road encouraged international trade. On the other hand, due to

At this moment Bismarck saw his opportunity to trap Austria. Bismarck knew Austria will be forced to side with Prussia against the Danes because they wish to keep their appearance of superiority in the German Confederation and because neither Austria nor Prussia wished the other to appear more devoted to the German states (doc21). Otto von Bismarck was not concerned whether or not the Germans in Holstein were happy but only cared about the expansion of Prussian power and the seizure of Schleswig and Holstein by Prussia (doc20). Austria and Prussia were now allied together along with Saxony and Hanover in order liberate the twin duchies of Schleswig and Holstein from the Kingdom of Denmark (doc23). The joint forces of Austria and Prussia threatened war with the king of Denmark (doc24). King Christain IX of Denmark was unable to count on support of England, France nor Russia and is forced to abdicate, ending the Prussian-Danish War (doc 25). Ending the Prussian-Danish War, the Joint Austrian-Prussian Agreement was made. Of this agreement Prussia will occupy and administer Schleswig, Austria will occupy and administer Holstein, Austria will allow for a transportation and communication corridor through Holstein, for the purpose of serving Prussian troops in Schleswig, and Austria will allow for the construction of a Prussian naval base in Kiel which is located on the Baltic Sea coast of Holstein (doc26). By having a Prussian naval base in

Although the Mongols and Portuguese dominated in separate time spans they still shared a lot of similar traits but just because they some common themes doesn’t mean they had exactly the same experiences, in fact, there was a lot of difference between the two especially in terms of function. If I were to label the two I would pick very different terms, I’d classify the Mongols as an empire and the Portuguese as more of a piracy or coastal army. One of the major differences that make these labels fit so well is the type of geography the two conquered, the Portuguese stayed along the coast conquering port cities and coastal tribes whereas the Mongols dominated whatever they could conquer, they controlled vast amounts of land while again the Portuguese

Ungern is famous for the Mongolian Campaign in which he captured the city of Kiakhta and tried to use it as a base to restore both the Chinese Emperor and the Russian Tsar. He was captured by the Red Army in 1921 and shot shortly after. Sunderland focuses not on the campaign cause it does not tell how the intersections of spatial multiculturalism affected Ungern’s perspective. Being a Baltic German with notions of elitism, who studied in Russian schools and was in the Russian army, he cared more for ideology than identity. He saw different identities and cultures as compatible if the superior one was in control. The Russian Empire, encompassing the many groups within were best under the watchful eye of the tsar. He saw the empire’s people interact,

German historian Fritz Fischer argues that Germany 's desire for world power was the reason that for the outbreak of WWI. Germany had plans for a war before the crisis that occurred during 1914 and used the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand as an excuse to put the plans into effect. Germany also encouraged Austria and its war plans to provoke a crisis in which it can solve the problem that Germany would face if they went to war. This problem is called "encirclement" and Germany would face this problem if it went to war with France and Russia. By having Austria doing so it would allow Germany to dominate and expand its territories. France and Russia signed a full military defensive alliance in 1892-1895 which allowed the possibility of a two-front war. With Germany 's geographical position being between these two great powers, it would cause Germany to lose the war at an instant. In addition to this, France felt bitterness towards the defeat of 1870-1871 and the taking

The first war lead by Otto von Bismarck was the Danish-Prussian war in 1864. It started with Denmark wanting to invade North German States, Schleswig and Holstein. Prussian power wasn’t going to let this happen because they wanted control of those North German States. They Proceeded to have a war with Denmark over these states and Prussia had the help of Austria. In the end, Prussia and Austria did end up winning the war and they gained control of the German States, Schleswig and Holstein. With “The Treaty of Gastein”, Austria got

It ended up with a conference, in which the German Kaiser humiliated and tensions were built. In 1911, France tries to take over Morocco again, so Morocco requests support. What happens is because the British did not want German ships in the Mediterranean, and was afraid that Germany would going to build a fort on the coast, another conference was called, and France takes over Morocco, but as compensation, Germany was given land in central Africa. This creates animosity in Germany towards the French and the British, because Germany lost against the French, failing to protect Morocco. German imperialism, the Kaiser’s ambition of over sea empire, and nationalism, the thought of Germany being the world power, has caused militarism, expansion of her army and navy. The three elements were the causes of World War 1 but what has made the war inevitable was the alliance system that existed at that time.

So, Germany made a decision, as too much of the world had been claimed they must fight to gain countries, in order to build their much desired Empire. This lead to the war as it created rivalry between Britain and Germany, who were both powerful Empires in their own right. This meant in the case of a war between nations, such as the one which followed, these domains would be on opposing sides and would have a good motive to want to belittle the others status, Empire, National forces and wealth.
