The Great War Factors Contributing to the War

Inability to Adjust to Change Industrialization led to competition Nationalism threatened stability Result: Nations sought insulation from enemy attack in three ways: –Colonies –Alliances –Armies & weapons

Imperialism in Africa & Asia Moroccan Crisis: Germany threatened to take Morocco from France Boer War: Britain clashed with Dutch settlers in South Africa Russo-Turkish War: (Russia gained access to warm-water ports of the Mediterranean) Russo-Japanese War: (Blocked in Europe, Russia sought Manchuria and lost to Japan.)

German Alliances Divided Europe Germany’s plan to isolate France: –Dual Alliance: Germany+Austria (1879) –Triple Alliance: Germany+Austria+Italy (1882) –Reinsurance Treaty: Germany+Russia (1887) France and Russia signed a military alliance Two armed camps: –On one side: Germany+Austria –On the other side: France+Russia

British Alliances Britain feared Germany so made an alliance with France (1904). Triple Entente: Britain+France+Russia (1907)

Security Maintain Alliances Triple Alliance: Germany+Austria+Italy Triple Entente: Britain+France+Russia

1914 Crisis in the Balkans Powder Keg: quarrels between nationalist groups over internal boundaries Serbia, supported by Russia, wanted to unite with Serbians in Austria-Hungary and create a Greater Serbia. Austria, supported by Germany, opposed this for fear that other ethnic groups would demand self-rule.

Immediate Cause of War Archduke Ferdinand of Austria assassinated Supported by Germany, Austria sent an ultimatum to Serbia: 1. Anti-Austrian activities in Serbia must cease. 2. Austro-Hungarian officials would enforce. 3. Disloyal Serbian gov’t officials would be fired. Serbia did not agree to 2. Austria declared war on Serbia.

The World Went to War Serbia called on its ally Russia for help. –Russia began to mobilize. –France gave its support. Germany declared war on France (crossed neutral Belgium on way to French front). Britain declared war on Germany.

The Great War: Opposing Sides Central Powers –Austria –Germany –Ottoman Empire –Bulgaria Allies –Serbia –Russia –France –Britain –Japan –Italy –China –United States

During the course of the war: Millions of people on both sides were killed. Britain and France were severely weakened. Three dynasties (Hohenzollerns, Hapsburgs, and Romanovs) fell apart.
