5. M.A.N.I.A.

6. Alliances and the First World War
World War I was all about the place of Germany in Europe

7. Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871)
France and Germany hated each other!
When the Spanish throne was up in the air, they went to war… France was beat BADLY

8. Alsace-Lorraine France lost Alsace-Lorraine in 1870-1.
The French never forgave the Germans.
They wanted REVENGE.

9. Germany in the Middle
Germany’s BIG problem was that it was IN THE MIDDLE.
That made it VULNERABLE if it came to a war.

10. Three Emperors’ League, 1881
In the 19th century, Germany’s brilliant Chancellor, Bismarck,
solved this problem by keeping friends with RUSSIA and
AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.

11. Triple Alliance, 1882
Then Bismarck allied with Italy and Austria-Hungary (the TRIPLE ALLIANCE, 1882).
Together with his friendship with Russia, this kept Germany safe.

12. Germany encircled
But when Kaiser Wilhelm became Emperor, he dumped the Russian alliance. He kept the Triple Alliance, but this did NOT solve the problem of Germany’s encirclement.

13. Franco-Russian Alliance, 1892
Instead, in 1892, Russia made an alliance with FRANCE.
Although it was only a DEFENSIVE alliance, it was Germany’s worst nightmare!

14. Webs of Alliances
There were many more alliances.

15. Triple Entente, 1907
In 1907 Russia joined Britain and France to make the Triple Entente.
So by 1914 Europe had divided into two massive superpower blocs.
People thought this BALANCE OF POWER would keep the peace.

16. The Balkans
But Russia was also allied to Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria. When trouble erupted in the Balkans in 1914, the nations found their alliances dragged them into war…

17. How the Alliances caused war
… like mountain climbers tied to the same rope.
(i.e. it is arguable that THE SYSTEM OF ALLIANCES CAUSED WWI.)
