Study Notes

World War I: Causes, Key Concepts & Early Battles

  • Militarism: This was a build-up of military strength and a belief that military power was the best way to solve international problems. Countries were preparing for war.
  • Alliances: European countries formed complex defense agreements, meaning an attack on one country could drag many others into conflict.
  • Imperialism: Nations competed for colonies and resources around the world, leading to rivalries and conflicts over territory and influence.
  • Nationalism: Intense pride in one's own country, often accompanied by a desire for self-rule or dominance over other groups, fueled ethnic tensions and rivalries.
  • Immediate cause: While not specified in your notes, the immediate cause that sparked the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in June 1914.
