Causes of WW I


The cause of the WWI was because of Nationalism, Militarism, and Imperialism. All of the nations believed that their nations were the best and fought to prove that it was true. If you were from one nation you would think your nation is superior and more powerful than all the others. With all the countries thinking differently it brought problems and to solve it they used war. The war was also used to see who can own the mos land. Imperialism came in because of Africa and Asia. Europe would mostly conquer them because they had more force with them. To Africa and Asia it wasn't fair because they were being controlled while Europe thought it was good for them. Well that was imperialism, now Militarism comes in because Europe had much greater military. They were getting their military ready for war and to have everything organized and prepared for war. Finally what actually started the war was because of the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. He had put the countries in their alliance and now because someone had assassinated him the war begun.
