The World Before WWI… Today we will do a simulation of the state of the world before WWI to see if WWI was unavoidable.

Simulation Directions: First, find your group and get a packet on your country. Read your packet and fill out your chart for Your Country (Pg. 90A/B) ONLY. Make sure to include information from your World Summary page also! Now, on one piece of paper for your group, write down the following: A List of the things Your Country wants in the upcoming negotiations.

You may make treaties with Friends or Neutral Parties if you check with me first (I know the secret alliances) Your Goal: Get what you Want! Don’t go to War!

France Serbia Austria England Germany Russia

Predict! Based on your simulation, which real life countries had treaties together? Which real life countries were the most aggressive? Which real life country was the most unstable? The weakest? Had the strongest army? Had the strongest navy?

World War I: The Great War The War To End All Wars

The World Before World War I 1914 The world before World War I was just beginning to fully grasp the effects of globalization and technology on everyday life. Trains, planes and steam ships made travel easier than ever before. Merchants brought goods from all over the world to market and people began to get an idea of just how diverse the world was. Admiration turned to desire. Soon, every country began to covet what its neighbors had…. MAIN Causes of WWI Militarism Alliances Imperialist Competition Nationalism

Militarism- Love of the military Militarism- Love of the military. Being a part of the military was all the rage. Young men could impress the girls and add to their countries glory by their efforts in foreign lands and at home. Industrialization added new and deadlier weapons to the arsenals of European countries. Soldiers and politicians alike were eager to see how well their doomsday weapons worked.

Imperialist Competition- Countries of Europe were competing with each other to see who could hold the most foreign territories.

Economic Imperialism- European Countries needed to expand their territory to keep their economies strong. They needed new raw materials and new buyers for their goods.

Nationalism- Love for one’s own country Nationalism- Love for one’s own country. Feelings of superiority swept through Europe igniting small and large conflicts where men and nations could test their metal and see who was tougher, richer, smarter, etc.

Great Britain Any country who could conquer its European neighbor would win, not only land in Europe, factories and influence, but also ALL that country’s territories and empires.
