Causes of World War 1.

There are many causes for world war 1. Some of the main causes of the first world war was Nationalism and impearlism. World War one started on 1914 and lasted all through 1918. Countries that backed up each other would get involved if the country they were protecting got involved then they would get involved trying to protect the country. The thing that caused it to become a world war was the assination of Francis Ferdinand. The seribian black hand killed the archduke and his wife because he wanted to bring together Austria-Hungary and Serbia to make a Triple empire. Serbia didnt want this because the rule under Austria-hungary will break Serbia apart and they dont like being under their rule. So then Austria wanted to destroy Serbia for killing their archduke. Since Austria wanted to destroy Serbia, Germany was right behind them and decided to destroy Serbia too. The Austrian government officialy declared war on Serbia on July 28 1914.

Another cause of world war one, is Nationalism. Countries thought that they were better than the other countries so they would declare war. Also, Alliances were reasons for the world war to happen. The alliances were made in secret so people wouldn't know about these alliances. When people did find out about the alliances, they would get mad and they were suspicious of the alliances. Alliances also bought the question of power. Sure they were together now during war, but what happens after the war? Will they still be in an alliance? Who would get more power?
