Would World War 1 have broken out if the nephew of Emperor Franz Josef, heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Archduke Franz Ferdinand wasn't assassinated? In short, yes, there had already been extremely high tensions around the world. Every country had an enemy and some sort of makeshift alliance with other countries. The assassination of the Archduke only added more wood to the already burning fire that was the outbreak of, “The War To End All Wars”, that was World War 1. The reason…
This is the war were the deaths went over 10 million people. This is the war where more than sixty million troops were mobilized. This is World War One. Among the vast number of reasons that causes World War One, I believe that the most significant reason, and the reason that it escalated to such a vast war, is because of all the alliance between countries, An alliance system between two countries is where there is a formal agreement or treaty between two or more nations to cooperate for…
Many historians agree that the assassination was a significant event however; the writer would argue it was not the major cause of World War 1. The writer would suggest that the major powers had been ready to go to war long before the assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand. This was the spark that ignited the war. The writer would argue the major causes of World War I were nationalism, militarism, leadership, imperialism, colonialism and alliances. Nationalism is extreme patriotic feelings…
Causes of WWI The force of nationalism was the most influential factor that led to World War I, as it transformed Europe into a group of feuding, war-hungry nations and led to the catastrophic assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. By the beginning of the twentieth century, many European nations were blinded by their pride and acted upon their own self-interest. States considered themselves as sovereign, and pursued foolish policies in order to protect and maintain national dignity. Within…
Before World War 1, militarism was highly appreciated in Germany, and surrounding European states; this allowed the European states to create alliances. In addition to military advancements and the rise of terrorist groups in Serbia, tensions were felt all around Europe. The group: Black Hand, also rose due to the fact of the immense tensions. After WW1, and Germany being the falling state they were entitled to pay reparations for all of the damage done to their surroundings. In order for all of…
A feeling of strength. When we look back on the five causes of World War One, which are imperialism, nationalism, militarism, alliances and an assassination, nationalism is the most important cause out of the five.

War I with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The Black Hand, a Serbian nationalist secret society was responsible for the assassination of Ferdinand. On July 28, 1914, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia because they blamed the deaths of the archduke and his wife on the country. Austria-Hungary gave Serbia a list of ultimatums saying that if they didn’t destroy The Black Hand within a certain time period they would declare war. Serbia ignored the ultimatum, and Austria-Hungary…
because of several different events that took place in 1914 or around that time. It was a conflict between the Allies(France, Britain, Russia and later on the United States) and the Central Powers(Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy). One major event was the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28th 1914. Another cause I am going to cover is militarism because of course they had to deal with this during the war. The last cause I will talk about is imperialism because a…
