Task 1: Identify the underlying causes of WWIRead the passage and do the exercises that follow. World War One occurred due to many causes. The causes could be classified into the underlying and immediate causes.
The underlying causes were: imperialism, militarism, nationalism and alliance system.
ImperialismAfrica and parts of Asia were points of contention among the European countries. They wanted to get more land and raw materials. The increasing competition and desire for greater empires led to an increase in confrontation and this kind of colonial rivalry helped push the world into World War I.
MilitarismAs the world entered the 20th century, an armament race had begun. Britain and Germany were against one another. The German Kaiser ordered the production of new Dreadnought-class battleships. This created more tension between the two nations and helped push the countries involved to war.
Extreme NationalismIn the late 19th century, extreme nationalism was popular among European countries. Different races strived for national glory. It resulted in conflicts when there was a clash of different nationalist movements.
Alliance SystemWithin Europe, a system of military alliances was established to provide European powers with a sense of security. Two rival alliances were formed. They were the Triple Alliance consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy and the Triple Entente consisting of Britain, France and Russia. As a result of Germany’s build-up in naval resources, Great Britain was forced to abandon its isolation policy.
Immediate causeThe immediate cause was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on 28th June 1914. The assassination occurred during the Archduke's visit to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The German Kaiser, Wilhelm II, provided support through a telegram to Emperor Franz Joseph II. This telegram is known today as the "Blank Cheque." It was this reassurance that prompted Austria to declare war on Serbia, which set off a chain reaction of conflicts. Germany was also held responsible for causing the outbreak of WWI because of this. A harsh ultimatum was issued to Serbia. Austria-Hungary gave Serbia 48 hours to reply. Serbia agreed to all terms of the ultimatum but one.
Outbreak of the WarAustria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Russia got involved to defend Serbia. Germany, seeing Russia mobilizing, declared war on Russia. France was then drawn in against Germany and Austria-Hungary. Germany attacked France through Belgium pulling Britain into war.A Match the vocabulary in Column A with the meaning in Column B

Source BArmaments raceIn the early 20th century, most powers thought military action was the best way to safeguard national interests. The amount of army and navy showed how strong a country was. The powers increased their military expenditure. This intensified the armaments race. Britain and Germany built dreadnoughts to make themselves even stronger.
The armaments race did not give the powers a stronger sense of security. It made the international situation tenser and increased the possibility of the outbreak of war.
