The death of WWI

9. While nationalism unified countries, it also created fierce rivalries.
Britain, France, and Russia formed an alliance , or agreement to work together, called the Triple Entente.
Germany signed an agreement with Austria-Hungary and became known as the Central Powers.

10. While nationalism was a long term cause of WWI, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian extremist group called the Black Hand set forth a chain of events that led to countries declaring war on one another.

11. Once war had started, people realized the impact of new technologies on the battlefield.
Armies had to dig trenches to protect themselves from enemy machine gun fire, airplanes, tanks, and poison gas.

12. Just when Germany seemed to gain the upper hand in 1917 with Russia falling to communism and backing out of the war, the United States joined the side of the Allies.
Germany surrendered the next year by signing the Treaty of Versailles. In doing so they were required to pay back billions of dollars to the Allies. This would create tensions for the decades to follow.

The fighting continued even after Germany fell as the United States still had to defeat Japan.
Japanese culture was very much a warrior culture, but American technology and resolve would never stop advancing on Japanese territory.
