World War I Was A Predictable Outcome Of The Culture

This paper has hopefully explained some of the underlying causes in world war I. These were nationalism, militarism, imperialism, and allies. These causes built up over a long period to finally lash out and cause total war. The war was inevitable but the question was really when it would lash

     World War I was the result of leaders' aggression towards other countries which was supported by the rising nationalism of the European nations. Economic and imperial competition and fear of war prompted military alliances and an arms race, which further escalated the tension contributing to the outbreak of war. One cause of the World War was militarism, which is a policy in which military preparedness is of primary significance to a situation. Another cause of the World War was nationalism. Nationalism is the pride and devotion form one towards his/her country. It played a great part in the causes of World War 1 because citizens wanted to stand up for their country, and fight for them. The third

Another main cause of World War I was Militarism. For each country there was a big increase in military and naval forces. For each country there was a big increase in military and navel forces. The policies and government created a big influence on the military men and because of this, force was a alternative as solutions to problems. This is what made militarism one of the main causes of World War I. There was a rise in military influence on policy making after 1907, in countries such as Germany and Russia. During this period of time the German Army was known as a “state within a state”. Everybody in the government such as the parliament and politicians were required to follow the General staff. The war atmosphere was endangered. It was because of the secret alliances and that triggered a armaments race among all the powers. During 1900-1914 the race became very serious and the international situation became much worse then ever before. During these years there was a rise in army and navel estimates. There was so much military rivalry within countries competing for the

World War I was one of the most brutal battles in the world. World War I fought in Europe between Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany, the U.S, and others. However, the four primary and long term causes that set off this war are militarism, alliance building, imperialism and nationalism. Although these four causes were all significant during the war, the two I believe are the most important are militarism and alliance building.

Before World War 1, Otto Von Bismarck had to Otto-matically unite the German states. World War 1, known as the “Great War” before 1940 was the world's first global conflict which lasted from 1914-1918. Ten million soldiers had died in the battle fields and another twenty million soldiers had been wounded by the end of the war in November of 1918. The war contented the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire against the Allied forces of Great Britain, United States, France, Russia, and Italy. This raises the question, “What were the underlying causes of World War I?”

World War One was many years in the making with separate incidences occurring between the empires that ultimately lead up to war beginning. With many powerful empires on edge and wanting to be the most powerful, they did whatever they could to make this happen. The First World War was not sparked by one event or motive, but in turn was started due to many major factors. The war’s blame can be placed on all of the countries involved, rather than solely Germany. These factors from World War One were the product of each empire and their long-term needs such as nationalism, imperialism, militarism and the alliances. The short-term event that was the final push to start the war was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.

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.

World War I was a time of chaos and turmoil for Europe and Great Britain. The events of World War I impacted the British Empire and its allies not only through the human and financial costs engendered by the brutal battles that characterized the war, but the technologies that developed to further the war machine left a lasting impact on postwar Britain and all of Europoe. What is more, the "War to End All Wars" forever changed the cultural roles of the British family. Finally, the war changed the configuration of European alliances, laying the groundwork for later political strife in the aftermath of The Great War. The following article details the events and impacts of The Great War on the British empire, detailing the battles, new ideas

    The first topic is militarism. The definition of militarism is “the belief or desire of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it aggressively to defend or promote national interests”. The way that this coincides with World War I is mostly based on disagreement. Some people wanted this situation, while others didn’t, which led to overreacting that soon led to war. Now this isn’t the only cause that led  to the war. But this is one of the leading.

Secondly; it was Nationalism the key which started the war and what allowed it to continue for so long. Previously wars had been very short and there had generally been at least a modicum of healthy respect for the enemy in many previous European conflicts. By WW1 the populations of Europe had been assured by their government’s propaganda that their enemies were the lowest of the low. It was the hatred of the Germans that made the French want revenge for their occupation of Alsace Lorraine, it was the hatred of the Germans that allowed the British Army to have a sudden surge in recruit numbers in 1914 when it deployed to France and it was that same hatred that compelled the

World War 1, also known as the “Great War” was a long, bloody war that raged on from 1914 until 1919 between many smaller European countries, Germany, Great Britain, Russia, Turkey, Italy, France, China and finally the United States. In this paper, I will be examining the causes that led up to this global feud.

“The conflicting fears and desires of many States and peoples did not create a European war, but they served as a set of multiple fuses waiting to ignite, should war between two States” (Gilbert 6). World War 1 was a very complex conflict that led to many long-lasting repercussions around the world. WWI erupted in July 1914 and lasted until November 1918. Many European nations became involved in this global conflict, which upset the European balance of power. The war escalated quickly for several reasons and was first sparked by the assassination of Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand by the Black Hand. Then, many other contributing factors spurred major powers to become embroiled in the war in Europe. In the war, two important elements had

World War I occurred as a result of a number of political, social, and economic changes that were taking place at a rapid pace in the region. A prominent transformation was the onset of industrial revolution that accompanied these changes. Many countries were investing significantly in industrialization while undergoing transformation that was changing the face of society. To enhance patriotism and to achieve objectives that were otherwise impossible, political forces were utilizing notions like nationalism. In this scenario, the colonies of European nations became the cause of significant rivalry and disputes, settled only after the blood of millions was shed. The war had far-reaching consequences for all nations that were involved in the conflict such that the entire boundaries of many countries were remarked. This paper will discuss the impact of nationalism, industrialization, and colonialism on WWI and its occurrence.

In the early twentieth century, the most powerful nations in the world were preparing for war with a heightened sense of national pride. Germany, eager to go to war, created arguably the greatest military in the world at the time. This heightened militarism in Germany had two major reactions from other world powers. The first was to build up their respective militaries in order to prepare for a war if it became necessary. The second was to create a system of alliances in case they were attacked. The series of alliances led to the formation of two powerful groups. The first was known as the “Central Powers” consisting of Germany, Bulgaria, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. The second was the “Allied Powers” which included England, France, Russia, and Italy. Then on June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip. After the assassination, Austria- Hungary declared war on Serbia. The series of alliances created prior to the assassination led to many European countries declaring war on one another in order to protect their allies. Because of imperialism of Africa in the ninteenth century and a growing US involvement in European affairs, the war spread throughout the entire world. The Great War, later named World War One would go on for four long years with roughly twenty million casualties before a cease fire in 1918. On June 28, 1919

When a nation’s hunger for power and control become too great, the nation may be pushed to do things that may have harsh consequences. This was the case in the early 1900’s when the world engaged in its first major global military conflict. There were a number of causes of the First World War; due to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany accepted full responsibility for the war. Although the Germans had a large contribution in starting the war, they should not be fully held accountable for starting the war. The world was a place where only the strongest nations could thrive and expand. The major powers of Europe were all doing whatever it took to gain power, wealth, and control different areas of land; this caused
