There was indeed fire in the hole when World War 1 violently erupted. Many factors played a role in the outburst of intense emotions. These factors included militarism, assassination, and alliances. During this time, countries were proud of the sizes of their military. They would show off their military and compare to see who has the bigger one.

There is much speculation about the cause of WW1, a few being Militarism, the Alliance System, Imperialism and Nationalism. There is no denying that all four of these reasons played a role in starting the war but only three were strong enough to show clear effects and repercussions. The three that were the main underlying causes of WW1 are Militarism, the Alliance System and Imperialism. Militarism’s role was seen in multiple cases before the war but one major impact it had was the increased
Many developments in the beginning of the twentieth century set the stage for the outbreak of war. The primary cause of WWI is a highly debated topic, as many intertwining factors together produced the most devastating war the world had seen thus far.

Bismarck was right when he said, “One day the great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans (goodreads).” Gavrilo Princip was an influential person of the 20th century because of his assassination of Archduke Ferdinand II. This was the catalyst that set off World War I, which indirectly caused the crash of the
Hitler’s personal drive to expand Germany’s borders across Europe while putting dominance on what he determined to be ‘inferior people’ was the main contributing cause of World War II. In my opinion, All four parts of MAIN were very involved in contributing to the cause of World War II. Hitler used military might to conquer and divide Poland with the Soviet Union. This caused Western allied retaliation towards Germany. He also used military power and intimidation to accomplish his goal of Germany’s
history. It was the trigger that catapulted countries across Europe into the infamous World War I. And yet, even with the murder’s fame, most people do not think about the fact that it was unnecessary. Archduke Ferdinand was unjustly killed by Gavrilo Princip because the assassin was part of a terrorist group that favored a union between Bosnia-and-Herzegovina and Serbia instead of Austria-Hungary. However, some Bosnian-and-Herzegovinians believed that by assassinating the archduke, they would be able
styles, and the role of propaganda. Before it is possible to go diving into the big picture of World War 1, it is imperative to go over the background. It all started on June 28th, 1914, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria got assassinated by Gavrilo Princip. Otto Van Bismarck
the Austria-Hungary Empire, was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, a member of the Black Hand. The Black Hand,an a Serbian nationalist group, believed that with the death of Ferdinand then the monarchy might give up territories that were lost in the Balkan Wars (Good Year), in order to achieve a Greater Serbia(Princip). However, the Black Hand's motives were never met. Instead all that the Black Hand received was the imprisonment of Gavrilo Princip, whom was too young be sentenced to the death penalty
Progressivism is a time of change, a time for reform, that has helped shape America to be the nation it is today. Progressivism is defined as “the political orientation of those who favor progress toward better conditions in government and society (WordNet Search).” Between this era, and World War One, a lot of time and effort when into what the influences the country went under between the power of Woodrow Wilson and the society along with Europe, Russia, France, and everyone else involved in this
and fueled their hatred. Italy and Japan’s choice to build an alliance with Germany was fueled by our exclusion of them during the Paris Peace Conference.

history, those big masts and sail in the sea, then I can think of no better example, for no better example exists, than the First World War. Indeed, upon the outset of war, fate seemed to rear its most virtuous and peaceful hand, by picking up Gavrilo Princip and putting him directly in the path of the Archduke of Austria and his wife, who he loved so dearly. However, it is unlikely for the hand of fate to spark of the war with the murder of just one man. Instead the hand of fate positioned all the
