Essential Question: What were the causes of WWI?

What were the MAIN causes of WWI?

• Militarism• Alliances• Imperialism• Nationalism

WWI Group Work• In your group, please READ each primary source

document ONE AT A TIME. For each document, DISCUSS each question on the document AS A GROUP and ANSWER the questions in complete sentences on a separate piece of paper. EACH PERSON MUST WRITE DOWN ANSWERS to the questions.

• Once you have read all the documents and answered each question, your group is to prepare a POSTER and PRESENTATION explaining the MAIN CAUSES OF WWI.

Poster/Presentation• Your group is to prepare a POSTER and PRESENTATION

explaining the FOUR MAIN CAUSES of WWI. • Poster and presentation demonstrates clear

understanding of all MAIN CAUSES• Poster includes information from all FIVE documents,

and includes at least TWO QUOTATIONS from the primary sources

• Every group member must speak during the presentation

Imperialism• Balance of Power:

attempt to keep peace through equality among the world powers– Economic rivalry and

rivalry for world influence created serious divisions and mutual suspicions

Militarism • Arms build-up– build as many weapons

as possible to defend giant empires

– Naval Arms Race between Germany and Britain

– Overwhelming sense that war is needed = willingness to use those weapons

Nationalism• Many national groups

did not have their own Nation-State

• Slavic People of the Balkans (ie. the Serbs) moving towards inependence– Pan-Slavism: Russia also

Slavic, promise to support all other Slavs.

Alliances• Alliances created to

maintain the balance of power– Supposed to be “peace-

keeping” alliances– Alliances are strict,

basically guarantee any local struggle would become a major war

“A tiny clipping from a newspaper, mailed without comment from a secret band of freedom fighters in Zagreb, capital of Croatia, to their comrades in Belgrade, was the torch which set the world afire with war in 1914. That bit of paper wrecked old, proud empires. It gave birth to new, free nations.”– reflections of Borijove Jevtic, an assassin of Franz Ferdinand
