As the war of the worlds began to collide between 1914 and 1918, there were numerous causes as to why the "Great War" began. The war began as a local European war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia on July 28, 1914. Later on it transformed into a general European struggle by declaration of war against Russia on August 1, 1914 and eventually became a global war involving 32 nations. Twenty-eight of these nations were known as the Allies and the Associated Powers, including Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and the United States. They opposed the coalition known as the Central Powers, consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria. However, the immediate cause of

The Great War , or as it is known now, World War One was a global conflict fought between the Allied Powers ; Great Britain, France, Russia, and the United States along will other smaller nations and the Central Powers ; Germany, Austria – Hungary, Turkey/Ottoman Empire and other small nations from 1914 to 1918. World War One began from a series of tumultuous events, that in turn affected the balance of alliances that had been made between countries at that time in the world.

involved the British empire, the Russian empire and the French with the addition of the

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

During the 1914’s a great event known as WWI took place and it had several impacts on the U.S. This event happened because of imperialism by Serbia. They wanted to expand their land so that they could create Greater Serbia or Yugoslavia. They needed land they did not have so they asked Austria-Hungary for a portion of land. Austria-Hungary said no to this. A terrorist group known as the Black Hand were not happy with Austria-Hungary’s response so their leader Gavrilo Princip organized a plan to kill their Archduke and family. After the dead of the Archduke, Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia for the dead of the Archduke so the declared war (Document 4). Serbia had an alliance with Russia so that if they ever entered a war Russia would have their back. Latter on other countries joined the war such as France, Italy, and Britain to aid Serbia and Russia (Document 2), they were known as the allies. Germany, Turkey, and Bulgaria also joined the war to help Austria-Hungary, they were known as the Central Powers.

The alliances of the Central Powers or the Triple Alliance with Austria Hungary, Germany, and Italy. For Serbia, they had the Triple Entente or the Allied Powers of Britain, Russia, and France (Dove Lecture 8/30/2016). The main factor to the start of WWI is the use of alliances. The alliances created a domino effect with other countries joining in on the conflict between Serbia and Austria Hungary. As other countries were committed to helping one another in times of need (Doc. G Political

In 1914 there was a World War 1 that was also called The Great War and ended in 1919. The three main impacts and cause of world war 1 was the Alliance (“association”), Imperialism (“power differences”), and Militarism (“Weapon spending”). The countries that were involved Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire (“so-called Central Powers”) the countries against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and Japan (“the Allied Powers”).

World War I (WWI) had many main events from 1914 – 1918. It was known as the Great War and the war to end all wars. It also introduced us to many new technology to including Barbed wire, machine guns, artillery, poison gas, airships, aircraft 's, new naval vessels and tanks. All these wartime machines and equipment resulted in unprecedented carnage and destruction, with more than 9 million soldiers killed by the end of the war. This First World War or the Great War, was a global war centered in Europe. This global conflict pitted 2 groups against each other “The Allied Powers” and “The Central Powers”. The Allied Powers was made up of Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy and The United States. Important people that were known for the Allied Powers were Herbert Henry Asquith, Prime Minister (UK), Woodrow Wilson (U.S. President), Aristide Briand, Prime Minister (France), and Prime Minister (France). The Central Powers was made up of Germany, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria. Important people that were known for the Central Powers were Prince Max Von Baden, Chancellor (Germany), Heinrich Von Clam-Martinic, and Prime Minister (Austria).

Serbia was backed by Russia, and Russia had France’s support (Inventing American, p. 568). Russia supported Serbia because many citizens of Russia were Serbians. Germany then declared war on Russia and France, followed by Britain declaring war on Germany after Germany marched through Belgium. All of these countries entering the war were caused by alliances they had formed with one another. The Central Powers were made up of Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Germany. The Triple Entente (Allies) were made up of Britain, France, and Russia (Inventing American, p. 568).

The Central Powers consisted of- Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Ottoman Empire. These powers and allies fought each other on the Western Front, Eastern front, in Gallipoli, and France. The Western Front, Eastern Front and Gallipoli had trenches protecting them.

The Great War a war that forever changed the life of Europe and the US. A major Cause of the war was because of the assassination of Archduke Franz Fernand. That caused the war to start on July 28, 1914. The allied forces where Great Britain, United States, France, Italy, and Russia. The central powers where Bulgaria, Germany, Ottoman Empire, and the Austrian Empire. The US did not enter the war until April 2, 1917.

According to Amin Maalouf, “It seems clear that the Arab East still sees the West as a natural enemy. Against that enemy, any hostile action-be it political, military, or based on oil-is considered no more than legitimate vengeance. And there can be no doubt that the schism between these two worlds dates from the Crusades, deeply felt by the Arabs, even today, as an act of rape” (Amin Maalouf). When reflecting on The Crusades Through Arab Eyes, this quote always sticks out as the most powerful piece of Maalouf’s work. As a growing college student this quote brings harsh reality to the world I live in. I believe as you grow through life, you become more and more aware of the world around you through education. In order to be aware you must

T.E. Lawrence demonstrated his innovative leadership by subverting the Ottomans through altering the strategic direction of the Arab Revolt and by depleting the Turkish defenses at Aqaba, therefore bolstering the Allied Powers. With his revolutionary approach to command, Lawrence bolstered the Allied Powers during the attack on Aqaba as he altered the strategy for the port. “In the early stages of the Revolt, British and French military advisers urged the Arabs to capture the Turkish stronghold at Medina and to cut definitively the [Hejaz] Railway which was the Turkish supply-line running south from Damascus to the [Hejaz]” (Wilson). Lawrence condemned the continuing practice, used by both his British superiors and the Arabs, of attacking the

With his innovative leadership, Lawrence aided the Allied Powers as he strengthened the alliance between the Arab and English through a unified front against the Turks. Lawrence’s presence provided a new standard of command for the Arab people. Similarly, his influence also conferred a greater purpose for the Arab revolt. After his first discussion with Feisal, “Lawrence imbued the Arab Revolt with meaning, making it a cause worth fighting and dying for” (Hulsman 47). Likewise, Lawrence’s military aptitude enabled him to properly establish roles for the Arab people. “Lawrence was predominant in organizing, coordinating and shaping the immediate goals of the Arab Revolt. Conceiving, as no one had, the possibilities the struggle allowed for Arab
