I. Long Term Causes of WW I in Europe Militarism -The process by which a nation builds up its military might to intimidate or deter other countries. Alliances - Agreements between nations to help each other in the event of war. Imperialism- practice of extending the power of a nation by direct territorial acquisition of colonial empires. Nationalism - pride in one’s own country or nationality

“ I. Causes of the War “Powder Keg of Europe” Archduke Franz Ferdinand- He and his wife were assassinated by a Serb nationalist in June, 1914 causing the start of WW I. Heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary

Alliances Triple Entente/Allied Powers: France Russia England Italy later United States Triple Alliance/Central Powers: Austria-Hungary Germany Ottoman Empire.

American Neutrality President Wilson-decided to keep the US “Neutral” at the beginning of WWI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:President_Woodrow_Wilson_portrait_December_2_1912.jpg

II. Why did the U.S. Enter the War? Threats to U.S. neutrality A. U-Boat - submarine warfare Germany’s fiercest weapon in WW I they would attack all ships entering or leaving British ports. German Submarines sank ships without warning due in part to the naval blockade by the British of German ports.

II. Why did the U.S. Enter the War? Threats to U.S. neutrality B. Lusitania -British ship sunk May, 1915 by German U-boats- 128 Americans die - caused anger in US

II. Why did the U.S. Enter the War? Threats to U.S. neutrality C. Zimmerman note (Telegram) - A German telegram trying to convince Mexico to declare war against the US-in return Germany would help Mexico regain lost territories during the Mexican War 1846-48.

II. Why did the U.S. Enter the War? The Russian Revolution Russian Revolution – The Provisional Government led Russia from February to October 1917 overthrew Tsar Nicholas II - Kept Russia in WW I. http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/provisional_government.htm The Provisional Government  is the name given to the government that led Russia from March 1917 to November 1917. Throughout its existence, the Provisional Government met at the Tauride Palace. By July it was led by Alexander Kerensky - the man who had informed the Duma on March 11th that 25,000 troops were on the way to support them. The Provisional Government also committed two huge blunders: 1. It refused to give land to the poor peasants in the rural areas. This seemed to confirm the point above - that the Provisional Government did not understand the desires of the poor. To survive the peasants needed land and this was refused by Kerensky. 2. By far, the biggest blunder was the decision taken by the Provisional Government to keep Russia in World War One. This was a curious decision as the war was hated by the Russian people who had suffered greatly as a result of it.
