Causes of World War

battlefield been so vast…never had the fighting been so gruesome..."

• Alliances – agreements or promises to defend and help another country

• Imperialism – trying to build up an empire (powerful country that controls several less powerful countries

• Nationalism – having pride in your country, willing to defend it

standing armies of France and Germany doubled in size between 1870 and 1914.

• Naval expansion was also extremely competitive, particularly between Germany and Great Britain.

How could Germany’s location in Europe be a problem for them?

Germany in the Middle

Germany’s big problem was that it was in the middle of Europe. That made it vulnerable if it

came to war.

In the 19th century, Germany’s brilliant Chancellor, Bismarck, solved this problem by keeping friends

with Russia and Austria-Hungary
