Causes of WWI

World War One was a great big war. A very deadly one also. Tons of people died during the war. Those who hoped to return home to there family was killed like flies. Many people only had one drive and that was waiting to see their family. But there were a lot of reasons why the war was started. Some of the causes included: Nationalism, Militarism, and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand .

Nationalism is the pride,loyalty, and devotion in ones nation. Most of the nations was full of nationalism. For example; italy unified in 1870. It was very weak and didn't have much power at all. It could barely be counted as a great power. Even there industrial progress was slow. But they still and ambition and aimed high. Italy wanted Tunis and Tripoli in northern Africa. Thus created problems with france because that land was basically there territory. So everybody had conflicts with each other because most of them were territorially ambitious. so most countries would put up posters and have speeches about who the favored and supported. Schools would teach their kids that their country was better then their enemy and that they must kill them in till there gone.

Then there was militarism. Militarism is a strong military spirit or policy. The policy of maintaining a large military establishment. Many of the countries had a tendency to deam military efficiency to the extreme importance. When they put their military before anything else. So they kept their military ready for war at all times. Before the battle would happen, the militaries of each country we drawn out a battle plan.

Another cause of the world war was the assassination of king Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. He was killed by the someone from the land of Serbia . Austria-Hungary saw they had a right to punish Serbia for the killing of their leader. Because of of the assassination they decided to declare war and joined up with germany so they could have a part in hurting Serbia. After this decision, the event lead to the beginning of WW1.
