Nationalism and militarism in early 1900s Europe created tensions that led to World War I. Countries took pride in their nations and built up large armies, seeking alliances in case of war. With so many nationalistic, militarized powers in close proximity, conflict was inevitable. When tensions broke into war in 1914, countries activated their alliances and World War I engulfed Europe.

Flag
The Union flag had 35 stars representing West Virginia as the 35th state. The first Confederate flag had 7 stars on a blue field representing the 7 states in the Confederacy. The second Confederate flag, known as the "Stainless Banner", was adopted in 1863 but was mistaken for a surrender flag. The third Confederate flag, adopted in 1865, was similar to the second but added a red bar to distinguish it from the surrender flag. The Confederate battle flag, designed after Bull Run by General Beauregard, had 13 stars representing the states claimed by the Confederacy and was known as the "Southern Cross".
