The second author we discussed was Holger Herwig. Herwig explains that during 1914, Europe was at “a golden age of prosperity and decency”. In other words, the world situation as a whole seemed to be safe. Imperialism was not causing any tension to be built up towards another country. In the chapter “War: Now or Never”, Herwig explains why WWI started in Europe by quoting Lloyd George when he said “There was no unexpected slide into war” Herwig uses this quote to explain that war didn’t just…

Causes of WWI Nationalism was one of the biggest factors in the primary outbreak of the war. A group of Serbians, named the Black Hand, wanted Serbia to become an independent nation. They believed the best way of this happening would be to assassinate archduke Franz Ferdinand. This led to outbreaks, and many different countries declaring war on each other.

unstoppable German’s war machine. Second, the Germans and their allies were sinking ships carrying American citizens. Thirdly, we were experiencing a slump in our economy and needed to drive the prices back up. Generally a nation isn’t an ally until a treaty is signed.
