Fundamental & Immediate Causes Fundamental cause: Underlying larger issues that cause an event to occur (the big problems) Immediate cause: The spark that starts the event The event starts immediately after the spark

Fundamental Causes of WWI Militarism Alliances Imperialism Nationalism

Militarism Definition: Background: The policy of making a country’s armed forces strong Background: Britain = world’s largest navy Two Power Standard Germany begins to increase their navy -> arms race Competition between Britain & Germany for strongest military Arms race = increased tensions & possibility of war

Alliances Definition: Background: Close associations of countries to achieve a common goal -> “I help you, you help me” Usually military protection (security) Background: Triple Alliance (a.k.a. the Central Powers) Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy Triple Entente (a.k.a. the Allies) France, Russia, Britain

Imperialism Definition: Background: One country extending authority over another country/ territory i.e. Empires with colonies Background: Resulted from industrialization -> need for raw materials European Empires -> conflict over competing areas Britain & France vs. Germany -> fear of German expansion Austria-Hungary vs. Russia -> fighting over Balkans

Nationalism Definition: Background: Strong feelings of pride based on common bonds of language/ ethnicity/ religion Whole country or group within a country Background: Many ethnic groups within Austria-Hungary A-H takes over Bosnia -> Serbs in Bosnia unhappy -> Black Hand (terrorist group) forms w/ goal of creating a “Greater Serbia”

Immediate Cause of WWI June 28, 1914 – Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary assassinated by a member of the Black Hand Countdown to war: A-H and Germany discuss how to deal with crisis Germany gives A-H “Blank Cheque” -> we will support you A-H sends Serbia an ultimatum -> hand over terrorists or go to war Serbia agrees but needs clarification on ultimatum A-H thinks this is a rejection and invades Serbia

Immediate Cause of WWI July 28, 1914 – A-H declares war on Serbia Russia mobilizes Thinks Germany is trying to occupy the Balkans Germany declares war on Russia Supporting A-H France mobilizes Supporting Russia Germany declares war on France Threatened by France supporting Russia
