World War 1 was fought between the periods of 1914 to 1919. It is also known as the Great War. WW1 began as a conflict between Serbia and Austria-Hungary. The conflict spread like wildfire, dragging almost all of the countries in Europe into WW1. Lots of reasons are given onto the cause of the war and what eventually concluded the war. My paper will discuss the different aspects of the war, especially the U.S.’s contribution and involvement to the war.

The Great war (also known as World war one) was a very deadly battle between many different nations. World war one was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife.

The assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand played a key role in causing the war due to those involved.

World War I was also known as the Great War, or the War to End All Wars. This war took place from 1914 to 1918. World War I was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28th, 1914, although a war was inevitable due to the tensions between European countries. The three main causes of World War I were nationalism, militarism, and alliances. Nationalism initiated war because citizens felt that it was their duty to defend their country’s honor.

What is war? War is a state of armed conflict between different nations, states,or different groups within a nation or state(google.com).World War I, known as The Great War before WWII , was a deadly altercation that involved nations all over the world. The Great War was first sparked with the death of Austria-Hungary’s royal couple (Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife) were assassinated on Serbian land. Austria soon declared war on Serbia, causing alliances of both sides to join in on the conflict ,adding more fuel to the fire. There were many alliances formed throughout the war, but the main two groups were the Allied Powers (Great Britain, France,Russia) and the Central Powers (Germany, Ottoman-Empire, and Austria-Hungary.)

The Great War began in 1914 in the wake of the Industrial revolution and the pursuit of imperialism. The Great War, also known as World War I, started off as a war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia. This war was sparked by the assassination of the Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie in Bosnia by the Black Hand, a Serbian terrorist organization interested in freeing Bosnia and Serbia from Austria (Modern world history, “Who Should bear the blame?” 2). The Great War was the result of a lot of different factors that can be narrowed down to militarism, nationalism, alliances and imperialism. Though each of these reasons contributed to the Great War, alliances and imperialism were some of the main reasons for

On June 28th, 1914, Austria-Hungary’s Archduke “Francis Ferdinand, Austrian heir, and [his] wife [were] murdered (Doc 10)” in Sarajevo, Bosnia. His assassin was Gavrilo Princip, who was a Bosnian Serb and was in an organization that seeked to end Austro-Hungarian rule in his home of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Princip was said to have “fired the shot that started World War 1”, and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was considered one of the, if not THE, main cause(s) of The First World

The Great War, also known as World War I, began when a Serbian Nationalist assassinated Austria-Hungary’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. The United States did not enter until the Zimmerman Telegram was intersected. It was Germany’s attempt to ally with Mexico so they could beat the United States. Germany told Mexico that when they won the war,

World War I, also known as the Great War, was centered in Europe and began in July of 1914. In the beginning of the World War I the United States of America was neutral, this was because this was United States policy. In fact the text book states that in 1914, President Wilson said n, “Americans must remain impartial in thought as well as action” (Davison, Delay, Heyrman, Lytle, Stoff, pg. 635). However, on May 7, 1915 when a German U-boat sank a British liner named Lusitania killing 1200 men, women, and children including 128 Americans. This along with the intercepted telegram from the Germany to Mexico inviting them to join German forces

were anxious to help out in a way they can. World War I was the first major war fought between several different countries. Unlike other wars this was a war between major populous countries fighting against other countries. The war brought new tactics and weaponry that were never seen before such as trench warfare, the use of airplanes and machine guns used in battle.

The newly made weapons helped give momentum to the war, but nothing moved the war father and faster than the Americans. The Germans made the critical mistake of sinking the Lusitania as it forced America to join the war. Therefore, Germany desired to capture Paris as it could be a “bargaining chip” to end the Great War. On March 21, 1918 Germany began their assault on Paris and almost captured the capital city in July. Unfortunately for the Germans, they did not get the final blow that they were striving for before America’s arrival. America did not only help defend Paris, but they also pushed back the Germans with help of the British and French troops. This time of action by America was known as “the beginning of the end” for the Great War.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand is significant to our understanding of the beginning of World War 1 because his murder is considered the final spark to World War 1. His murder caused the first declaration of war by Austria-Hungary against Serbia, after this event, nearly every nation in Europe began to prepare in some way for the war that was coming.

One of the reasons led to World War One was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian (Fromkin 121). Although multiple reasons have been affiliated to his assassination, most of those reasons revolve around upholding Serbia’s power. On the one hand, Austria-Hungary had planned to attack Serbia since it was at its weakest point due to the adverse effects of the Balkan War they had just undergone (Fromkin 122). On the other hand, Serbia was making an effort to regain control over Bosnia-Herzegovina, which was under the control of Austria-Hungary (Fromkin 122). Before the assassination of Franz, the Bosnia-Herzegovina crisis had heightened to a point where Austria intended to invade Serbia (Fromkin 74). It was evident that Serbia, through the assassination of Franz, was seeking to retain its independence and protect its regions from Austria-Hungary’s influence by intimidating
