13. The Alliance System (Cause #1)
These countries had signed alliances years before World War I began
The Triple Alliance was formed in 1882
The Triple Entente was formed in 1907

14. Growth of Militarism (Cause # 2)
Militarism is a military mindset as well as the quick and aggressive growth of the military, especially during times of peace
Most Europeans nations strongly supported Militarism before World War I
Especially those countries in The Triple Alliance and The Triple Entente

15. Growth of Militarism (Cause # 2)
By the beginning of the 1900’s the major countries in Europe had grown their armies to unprecedented sizes
From 1890 to 1914 most Europeans armies doubled in size
Tensions were already high in Europe and the continued expansion of armies did not help

18. Economic and Imperial Rivalries (Cause # 3)

19. Economic and Imperial Rivalries (Cause # 3)
European countries wanted to be the MOST economically prosperous or claim the MOST overseas colonies
This desire created rivalries and tensions throughout Europe
The mass land grabs in Asia and Africa fueled these rivalries

21. Economic and Imperial Rivalries (Cause # 3)
People of European countries sense of pride in their country became directly tied to their country’s economic place in world as well as the number of colonies held
There was a limited amount of land which could be colonized and the constant fight over this land helped to make Europe a ticking time bomb

22. Nationalism (Cause # 4)
The last two causes are both directly related to nationalism
Many citizens, political leaders, and military leaders felt their nation was better than the rest
Many of these people longed for an opportunity to PROVE their superiority

23. Nationalism (Cause # 4)
What better way to prove your country is better than your rivals than destroying them and their allies a war and taking all their colonies and land away right?
This is how some people felt in Europe at the time
You can think of Europe as a powder keg, waiting for something to spark it

24. Let’s Look At THE Event That Started WWI
