Militarism Definition: The glorification of military power and the presence of a standing army Pre-WWI, emphasis on military strategy Arms race began to build up the strongest army and navy with the most advanced technology

Militarism Germany: Germany’s Schlieffen Plan: Aimed to defend Germany from Russia, while attacking France by mobilizing through the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxemburg Developed by Schlieffen almost 10 years before the Great War

HMS Dreadnought Advanced technology: Battleships

Alliances Definition: a union between countries created for mutual benefit Alliance system made war unavoidable … but why? [Read: Three Emperors League]

Imperialism Berlin Conference (1884) The British Empire: Driven by the need to expand their empires, European countries divide up Africa The British Empire: Australia, India, Canada + African colonies “The sun never sets on the British Empire”

Imperialism Germany vs. France: France loses Alsace-Lorraine to Germany in Franco-Prussian War (1871) 1911: fight over Morocco

Nationalism Definition: Excessive pride in one’s nation Fall of Ottoman Empire New nations are forming: Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey European countries are picking sides Austria takes over Bosnia and Herzegovina and threatens any Serbian uprisings Deep mistrust between nations

Domino Effect Archduke Franz Ferdinand (heir to Austro-Hungarian throne) and wife are assassinated in June 28, 1914 by a Serbian nationalist Austria-Hungary gives Serbia an ultimatum (list of demands) to avoid war AH rejects Serbia’s offer of peace and declares war on July 28, 1914. Russia moves troops to Austrian and German borders.

Domino Effect 5. Germany sees this as an act of aggression, declares war on Russia on August 1, 1914. 6. Germany declares war on France. 7. Germany invades Belgium as part of Schlieffen Plan. 8. Britain declares war on Germany on August 4, 1914 9. Italy switches sides leaves Alliance to join Entente
