The sinking of the British passenger ship Lusitania by a German U-boat in 1915, which killed over 100 American civilians, increased pressure in the United States to enter World War I. Although Germany promised not to target passenger ships anymore, they continued attacking U.S. vessels. In 1917, America could no longer remain neutral and declared war on the Central Powers led by Germany and Austria-Hungary, joining the Allied Powers of Britain and France in an effort to help shift the tide of the war.
Ch. 17 Sec. 1 Prelude to WWI
World War I was caused by militarism, imperialism, and a system of rival alliances between European powers. Countries had built up large militaries and still sought to expand their territories abroad. This caused tensions that were further exacerbated by networks of alliances like the Triple Entente between Britain, France, and Russia, and the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. The immediate trigger of WWI was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary, leading Germany to declare war on Russia and the outbreak of war across Europe.

Treaty Of Versailles And World Depression Updated Th
After World War 1, the Allied powers met at Versailles Palace to create a treaty outlining the terms for defeated Germany. There was disagreement among the Allies, with France wanting harsh terms for revenge, Britain wary of being too punitive, and the US advocating for leniency. The resulting Treaty of Versailles stripped Germany of land, military capabilities, and required massive reparations payments. This punitive treaty exacerbated Germany's economic struggles and laid the groundwork for resentment that Hitler would later exploit.

Freedom for africa
After World War II, many African countries sought independence from European colonial rule, inspired by India and other Asian nations that had gained freedom. Ghana was the first to gain independence, through nonviolent tactics led by Kwame Nkrumah. Algeria had to fight violently against French forces for independence. Kenya also struggled for independence from Britain, with Jomo Kenyatta leading the movement. Some newly independent nations like the Congo experienced civil war and unrest as they were unprepared to govern. South Africa imposed the system of apartheid that denied political power and rights to the black majority until the end of apartheid in the 1990s.

The document summarizes several key causes and events of World War I, including nationalism, imperialism, militarism, alliances, trench warfare, reasons for US entry, US involvement, and the Treaty of Versailles. Some of the main points covered are the building up of armed forces, formation of alliances between countries, brutal trench warfare on the Western Front, Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare leading the US to enter the war, and the punitive terms imposed on Germany in the Treaty of Versailles.
Victory And Peace
After the Russian Revolution and Lenin taking power, Russia withdrew from World War 1 through the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in March 1918. This allowed Germany to focus on the Western Front, but they were weakened and pushed back by July 1918 with help from fresh American troops. Germany's allies then began to surrender, and revolutions in Germany and Austria-Hungary ended their war efforts. An armistice on November 11, 1918 ended the fighting, but peace negotiations at Versailles lasted until 1919 and were contentious, with Clemenceau wanting harsh terms for Germany and Wilson wanting a lasting peace. The resulting Treaty punished Germany severely and redrew borders in Europe.

The war was fought on both the Western and Eastern fronts and included new weapons and tactics. Germany was ultimately defeated and the Treaty of Versailles imposed punishments while creating the League of Nations to promote peace. However, the League had limitations that prevented it from being fully effective.
Lesson #4 wwi
World War I began after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in 1914. Nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and systems of alliances drew European powers into the war. While attempting to remain neutral, American involvement was inevitable after German U-boats sank American ships and Germany offered Mexico support to take back American lands. The United States declared war on Germany in 1917. After the war, the Treaty of Versailles dismantled Germany's power and created new countries in Europe and the Middle East. Woodrow Wilson proposed the League of Nations but the U.S. did not join.
Causes of world war i
World War I greatly changed Europe and the world. The Russian Revolution led to the establishment of communist Soviet Union. The Treaty of Versailles forced harsh terms on Germany including war reparations that damaged Germany's economy. The worldwide economic depression in the late 1920s increased unrest and nationalism, allowing the Nazi party to rise in Germany appealing to those dissatisfied with their current situation.
Causes of WW1
Militarism, alliances, imperialism, nationalism, and significant individuals all contributed to tensions leading up to World War 1. Militarism led countries like Germany and Russia to increasingly build up their armies and navies in competition with each other. Alliances like the Triple Entente and Central Powers divided Europe into opposing factions. Imperialism caused disputes as countries sought to build colonial empires. Nationalism made countries desire greater power and assert their independence, increasing tensions. Figures like Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany pursued aggressive foreign policies that alienated other powers and heightened the risk of war. These long-term factors increased the likelihood of a conflict spark igniting a continental war in Europe.
World War I terms
World War I began in 1914 after tensions between European powers led to a system of alliances that pulled countries into war. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, drawing in allies on both sides. Over four years, new military technologies like machine guns, tanks, aircraft, and poison gas led to stalemate and trench warfare with millions of casualties. The U.S. initially remained neutral but entered the war in 1917 after German U-boats attacked American ships. An armistice in 1918 ended the war. The ensuing Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany, sowing seeds for future conflict.
World war i ch.8.1 2
World War I began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbian nationalists. This triggered a series of events that led major European powers to take sides along existing alliances into two opposing groups known as the Allied and Central Powers.

Week 1 – the causes of world war
The document summarizes the key causes of World War 1:
1. The rise of Germany's economy threatened Britain and France's dominance in Europe. Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm reversed Otto von Bismarck's policy of peace and began preparing for war.
2. An alliance system formed between Britain, France, and Russia against Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy.
3. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria by Serbian nationalists led Austria to invade Serbia and their allies to join, starting World War 1. Competing imperialism and nationalism in the Balkans exacerbated tensions between the alliances.
World war one
World War I was a global war involving many countries from 1914-1918. Key alliances divided countries into the Allied and Central Powers. Mutual defense treaties ensured Russia and France's entry against Germany and Austria-Hungary after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Though Woodrow Wilson wanted peace, Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare led the US to join the Allies in 1917. The Central Powers ultimately lost due to battles on the Western Front and revolutions in Germany and Russia, ending with the November 1918 Armistice.
WWI Begins through Alvin York Notes
WWI began neutral for the US but trade with Allied powers like Britain compromised neutrality. Germany began attacking civilian ships, killing Americans on the Lusitania in 1915 and resuming unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917. The Zimmerman Telegram revealed a German plot against the US, prompting Wilson to declare war in 1917. The US mobilized over 2 million men for the American Expeditionary Force under General Pershing. Though inexperienced, the AEF helped break the Western Front stalemate in 1918 by capturing over 132 German prisoners in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Germany surrendered in late 1918, ending US involvement in WWI after over 320,000 American casualties.

The short-term cause was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo. However, there were also several important long-term causes, including the system of alliances between European powers, imperialism, militarism, and nationalism. The alliances divided Europe into opposing teams and turned local conflicts into international wars. Militarism and imperialism increased tensions as nations built up their armed forces and competed for colonies. Nationalism also heightened tensions over territories like the Balkans and encouraged conflicts between nations like Austria-Hungary and Serbia.
World war 1
World War I began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbian nationalists. This caused Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia and draw in allied countries on both sides through a series of declarations. New technologies emerged including tanks, planes, machine guns and chemical weapons. Trench warfare led to a stalemate as each side fought from their defensive systems. The US initially remained neutral but later joined the allies in 1917 after German U-boats sank American ships. The war ended on November 11, 1918 with the defeat of the Central Powers. The Treaty of Versailles assigned blame and punishment to Germany.
