The Drift Toward War Beginnings of the Great War

Underlying Causes What conditions existed in Europe from that could possible lead to war? Intense nationalism Ethnic resentment Imperialism Colonial rivalries Struggle for balance of power

Nationalist Aspirations What is nationalism again? Intense pride in one’s nation Self-determination A nation should have the right to form its own sovereign state AKA a “nation-state” Some nations in Europe had achieved self- determination in the 19 th century Belgium (1830) Italy (1861) Germany(1871)

Nationalist Aspirations Other nations remained repressed, notably in… Eastern Europe The Balkans How could this lead to conflict?

Nationalist Aspirations Brought large European empires into conflict Ottoman, Austria- Hungary, and Russia Pan-Slavism 19 th century movement to unite all peoples of Slav descent (Eastern Europe) Russia supports Pan- Slavism Attempt to weaken the Austria-Hungary Empire

Nationalist Aspirations Many nations became angry with their “Empire overlords” Rebellions, revolts, etc. Serbs among the most militant Enter: Gavrilo Princip We’ll get to him in a bit… I started the Great War!

National Rivalries Economic Rivalries – Germany and Great Britain Naval race Germany and G.B. (again!) German government builds a massive fleet British respond by building a new type of ship, the dreadnaught How do the Germans respond?

International Crises Colonialism bred rivalries Moroccan Crisis (1905) Morocco declares independence from France Germany supports Morocco France threatens war Balkan Wars ( ) Serbia, Greece, Montenegro, and Bulgaria attempt to take control of Ottoman territory Strained Alliance System across Europe Drew battle lines

Alliances

Why do we need all of these alliances? Security! Economic teamwork Self-preservation Two alliance systems form Triple Alliance (Central Powers) Triple Entente (Allied Powers)

The Straw… Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand Gavrilo Princip Yugoslav nationalist Austro-Hungarian Response July Ultimatum Serbian response was deemed “inadequate” Alliance system goes into effect
