Causes of the War
• What do you see here?
• What do the different colors represent?
• Who is allied to whom?
• Why might these countries make these alliances?
• Which countries might have the greatest or least need to join an alliance?
![Page 3: World War 1 Lecture 1 Causes of the War What do you see here? What do the different colors represent? Who is allied to whom? Why might these countries](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd85503460f949a18b9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Europe at its Peak
• Industrial Revolution made Western European Nations the most wealthy and technologically advanced on earth
• Western Europe Dominated the global economy
• All aspects of life were affected by modernization
• Standard of living and life expectancy were at an all time high in the early 20th century
![Page 4: World War 1 Lecture 1 Causes of the War What do you see here? What do the different colors represent? Who is allied to whom? Why might these countries](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd85503460f949a18b9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Cause #1: Imperial Tensions
• European nations had competing colonies
• Colonies served as sources of inexpensive raw materials, pools of cheap labor, and markets for finished products
• Many colonial conflicts nearly turned into full fledged wars between their mother countries

Cause #2: Militarism
• Glorification of war and increase in military spending
• Germany competed with England’s naval superiority– England responded by producing new military
technology and increasing its size to double that of the next biggest navy
– Russian mobilized 6 million troops, so Germany greatly expanded the size of its standing army

Cause #3: Nationalism• Great pride in one’s country or aspiring to
become one’s own country
• Germany (1871) and Italy (1870) had only recently became united, independent countries
• Many countries torn by tensions of different nationalist groups
• Combined with militarism and imperial competition, this increased tensions in Europe
![Page 9: World War 1 Lecture 1 Causes of the War What do you see here? What do the different colors represent? Who is allied to whom? Why might these countries](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd85503460f949a18b9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cause #4: The System of Alliances
• Countries formed a web of treaties to protect themselves
• Triple Alliance: Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy
• Triple Entente: France, Russia, Great Britain• Treaty system began by German Chancellor
– Otto von Bismarck – wanted to accomplish 2 goals – 1. keep Germany out of a 2 front war– 2. diplomatically isolate France
![Page 10: World War 1 Lecture 1 Causes of the War What do you see here? What do the different colors represent? Who is allied to whom? Why might these countries](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd85503460f949a18b9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

The War Breaks OutNationalism in the Balkans (Pan-Slavism)• Considered the powder-keg of Europe• People with diverse religions, ethnic backgrounds,
and languages• People of the Balkans were very proud of their
heritage and greatly desired independence• As the Ottoman Empire’s control of the Balkans
receded, new nations were born (i.e. Serbia, Bosnia, Romania, etc…)
• Russia and Austria competed for control of new nations in the Balkans
• Austria-Hungary annexes Bosnia in 1908 and Serbia resents this

The Western Front• The Western Front was a 475 mile long stretch of land along
Frances border with Belgium and Germany• Germany tried to take France quickly in the Western Front
and then turn to fight Russia• This was called the Schlieffen Plan - a quick all-out attack
on France through the lowlands of Belgium• Germans wanted to avoid fighting on 2 fronts (France and
Russia)• Within weeks the Germans were within 50 miles of Paris• Germans made some tactical errors allowing the French
and the Allied armies to regroup and push the Germans back
• The two sides settled into a war of attrition

Russia enormous defeats to the Germans and Austrians
• 25% of Russian troops were without weapons and instructed to take them from dead comrades
• By 1917, morale of troops and country were at an all time low – Russia was ripe for a revolution
• Vladimir Lenin led the Bolsheviks in overthrowing Tsar Nicholas as ruler of Russia

The Balkan Front• The Allied Powers decided that the key to
victory was to defeat the Ottoman Empire by attacking near Istanbul
• This would allow the allies to supply the Russians, free the Balkans, and attack Austria from the south

New Weapons and Technology
• The industrial revolution changed the face of war – war became faster, more efficient, and amazingly accurate
![Page 32: World War 1 Lecture 1 Causes of the War What do you see here? What do the different colors represent? Who is allied to whom? Why might these countries](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd85503460f949a18b9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

• Changes were made to make them able to carry greater and deadlier payloads to further and more accurate destinations
• Became more destructive
• 24 million shells used in the Battle of Verdun alone

Trench Warfare
• Modern technology ruined the military strategy of massive charges of soldiers
• 475 miles of trenches were dug across northern France
• British troops used over 10 million shovels during the war
• Charging “over the top”, crossing no man’s land to overtake enemy trenches
• Boring, terrifying, and caused shell shock• Horrible living conditions

Total War
• Civilians back home made huge sacrifices
• Governments controlled industries and rationing
• “victory is only possible if all the treasures of our soil that agriculture and industry can produce are used exclusively for the war effort”
• Germans 17 to 60 not at war worked wherever the government told them to
![Page 50: World War 1 Lecture 1 Causes of the War What do you see here? What do the different colors represent? Who is allied to whom? Why might these countries](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cd85503460f949a18b9/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Women and the War• Worked in jobs traditionally held only by men, who
were at the front• Number in paid employment rose by over one
