Turn and Talk

Remember, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia (thus drawing Russia into the war on Serbia’s side, and Germany into the war on Austria-Hungary’s side), but Germany invaded Belgium, forcing Britain to declare war. Do you think it’s a good idea to punish Germany completely for the war?

ANS: Answers vary

• Each nationality had their own state
