The M.A.I.N. Causes of World War I
Causes of World War I:
• Military buildup of European armies and navies (MILITARISM)
The term MILITARISM can best be defined as a buildup of armaments in preparation for war. Militarism in the nations of Europe was a major cause of World War I.
• Formation of secret alliances (ALLIANCES)
THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE (THE CENTRAL POWERS) & THE TRIPLE ENTENTE (THE ALLIES) were established in the decades just before World War I
• Conflict over colonies in Africa (IMPERIALISM)
• Nationalistic rivalries in the Balkan Peninsula (NATIONALISM)
The Balkan Peninsula was described as “the powder keg of Europe” prior to World War I because of nationalistic rivalries.
A Serbian nationalist group known as the Black Hand sought to unite all Serbs into one independent nation and gain self-determination. (Self- determination is the freedom of the people of a given territory to declare their independence and/or make their own political decisions.)
In an effort to further this cause, Gavrilo Princep, a member of the Black Hand, assassinated the heir to the throne of the Austro- Hungarian Empire (Archduke Ferdinand).
This event (the assassination of the heir to the throne of the Austro- Hungarian Empire (Archduke Ferdinand) was the immediate cause of World War I in Europe. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Shortly thereafter, a number of entangling alliances prompted many other nations to join the fighting.
Self-determination / Woodrow Wilson’s 14 Points
Self-determination is the freedom of the people of a given territory to declare their independence and/or make their own political decisions.
The 'Fourteen Points' were listed in a speech delivered by President Woodrow Wilson of the United States in 1918. The speech was delivered over 10 months before the Armistice with Germany ended World War I, but the Fourteen Points became the basis for the terms of German surrender that are documented in the Treaty of Versailles.
Woodrow Wilson’s ‘Fourteen Points’ held appeal for nationalists in areas under colonial control because it suggested national self-determination.
Treaties signed in 1919 (The Treaty of Versailles was actually just one of several treaties that were made at the end of World War I) resulted in the restructuring of the boundaries of Eastern Europe.
The boundaries were changed in an attempt to satisfy the demands for self- determination by ethnic nationalities.

The Treaty of Versailles
• The Treaty of Versailles punished Germany for its role in World War I by forcing Germany to accept blame for the war and to pay large REPARATIONS (payments for war damages).
• Germany was also forced to give up territory (but not as much as Austria-Hungary, which was divided into several new countries).
• Many historians believe that the harsh terms found in the Treaty of Versailles helped lead to World War II. The harsh terms found in the Treaty of Versailles contributed to the political and economic instability (economic collapse) of Germany after World War I. Many Germans were angry. Resentments about the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles contributed to Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and the growth of Nazism in Germany. Germany desired to regain it’s power and prestige.
Miscellaneous Topics
• One action that many governments took during World War I was to REGULATE their economic systems to INCREASE PRODUCTION.
• World War I generated jobs at home and in the military. As a result, UNEMPLOYMENT RATES DECLINED between 1914 and 1918.
• Technological developments used during World War I:
• mines, poisonous gas, tanks, machine-guns, hand-grenades
• New means of fighting used during World War I:
• barrage [bombardment] • trench warfare [foxholes]
• Control of the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits was a strategic objective in both World War I and World War II because these straits provide access from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea
• A direct result of World War I was Germany’s loss of its colonies in Africa and Asia.
• Nationalist movements after World War I led to the breakup of Austria- Hungary.
• Nationalist movements after World War I (and World War II) led to the breakup of the Ottoman Empire and the restructuring of boundaries in the Middle East.
