I believe that the main reason for WWI was alliances
The triple alliance of 1882 (Germany, Austria, & Italy) as well as the Ottoman Empire, were known as the Central Powers
The Triple Entente of 1907 linked France, Britain (and Russia), known as the Allied Powers

• WWI started when Kings/Emperors/Queens still ruled but their armies were led by professional generals (the rulers no longer lead the troops into battle & didn’t lose kingdom on the field of battle)

• The places the war took place was the eastern (Germany, Poland, Russia) and western front (France, Belgium, and part of Germany)
• The war also took place with Africa, where both sides had
