WWI Begins “A peaceable, industrious, sensible mass of 500 million (European people) was hounded by a few dozen incapable leaders ... into a war which was in no way destined or inevitable.” --Emil Ludwig on the start of WWI

Think, Write, Pair, Share Could he be right? Could a few stupid leaders plunge a world into war? Yes, they could because… No, they couldn’t because…

Daily Goals We test two theories on how WWI started 1) A few European leaders plunged the world into war 2)A system of alliances plunged the world into war

Who are the players? Kaiser Wilhelm II, Last Emperor of Germany

Who are the players? Tsar Nicholas II, Last Emperor of Russia

Who are the Players? George V, King of United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland) United Kingdom was a democracy with a king.

Who are the players? France France was a democracy with no king or queen.

Who are the players? Franz Joseph, Last Emperor of Austria-Hungary

The Problem Princip was a member of the Serbian Nationalist terrorist group, Black Hand. Franz Ferdinand, the sole heir to the Austria-Hungary Empire was just gunned down by a Serbian Nationalist.

Let’s prevent a war! Mr. Kelly has called the nations of Europe together in a last ditch attempt to avert World War. Is history going to you them, the leaders of the nations for a conflagration that will kill 13 million people? This is your chance to stop it…

Your task The first task, today, is to meet with the leaders of your nation and develop a statement. How does your nation deal with other nations of the world? (Timeline) What are your Principles and Beliefs? (Secret Instructions) How do you plan to stop the war? (Secret Instructions) What is the price others must pay before you agree to peace? (Secret Instructions)

That’s what Europe was like before World War I… We’ve got each other’s back! Before World War I (WWI), Europe was tired. Europeans had been fighting for hundreds of years. Finally, they got into two big groups: The Triple Entente The Triple Alliance

That’s what Europe was like before World War I… We’ve got each other’s back! Triple Entente: France Great Britain Russian Empire Triple Alliance: German Empire Austria-Hungarian Empire Italy The idea: Safety in Numbers

That’s what Europe was like before World War I… Stand up for your friends! The countries in the Triple Alliance swore to defend each other against an attack from the countries of the Triple Entente (and vise versa). The problem: If two European countries went to war, they would drag all of Europe (and their colonies in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia) into the war.

That’s what Europe was like before World War I… Stand up for your friends! The problem: If two European countries went to war, they would drag all of Europe (and their colonies in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia) into the war. World War I was just waiting to explode!
