Your new Global class…play along! Bob is a friend of Frank. Frank and Rick are good friends and have agreed that if either is ever in a fight, the other boy will come to the rescue. Most of the boys in the class have obtained weapons in case of a fight. Greg, Ira and Alan are also good friends and have an agreement to fight if one is attacked. Frank and Greg hate each other because Greg beat up Frank a few years ago. Greg is jealous of Bob because Bob is a better swimmer on the school team. Sam and Rick are good friends as their backgrounds are similar, and Alan is always picking on Sam. Rick will protect Sam from Alan. Barney is small in size and gets picked on; he has convinced Bob to help him if he is ever attacked. All the boys love Cathy; each one thinks he is best and deserves her. What will your class “feel” like? Your thoughts?

Causes of WWI “The Spark” Long Term Causes
Presence of the AH Empire: mixed nationalities that resented foreign rule Serbia independent (desire to unite Slavs) Russian interest in Balkan peninsula (secret treaty with Serbia) Why is Russia interested in the Balkan Peninsula? “Slavic Brothers,” Access to Med Sea (militarism/warm water ports) 1908: A-H annexes Bosnia/Herzegovina The Balkan Peninsula, 1914
Austria-Hungary & the Balkan Peninsula“Powder Keg of Europe” • MANY ethnic groups (Czechs, Romanians, Poles & Serbs) • Desire national independence • Threat to A-H
“The Sick Man of Europe” Ottoman Empire • As nationalism grew, people of Balkan peninsula gained independence • Loss of territory to Russia
“The Spark” • Assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife on June 28th, 1914 in Sarajevo (Austrian-Hungary Province)
Who did it? Gavrilo Princip WHO IS HE? • Bosnian Revolutionary • Black Hand • Instrument of Serbian government? Seal of the Black Hand
The Austrian Response “Demands must be put to Serbia that would be wholly impossible for them to accept.” Count Berchtold (Austrian PM)
GERMANY REACTS “The Blank Check” Confidential - For Your Excellency's personal information and guidance “His Majesty desires to say that he is not blind to the danger which threatens Austria-Hungary and thus the Triple Alliance . The Emperor Francis Joseph (AH) may be rest assured that His Majesty will faithfully stand by Austria-Hungary, as is required by the obligations of his alliance and of his ancient friendship.” Bethmann Hollweg (German PM)
The UltimatumJuly 23, 1914 • Suppress anti-AH hostility • Dismiss anti-AH officials • Allow AH to investigate assassination within Serbia • Trial in AH courts • 48 hours to respond • Must accept all demands – or AH declares war What do you think Serbia should do? Why?
German Motives Kaiser William II “Germany must have its place in the sun. The world belongs to the strong.” “The Austrian demands are moderate. Any interference by Britain, France, Russia will be followed by incalculable consequences.” Aggressive Foreign Policy
Alliance System In Action • July 28, 1914: A-H declares war on Serbia • July 29, 1914: Russia mobilizes • August 1, 1914: Germany declares war on Russia • August 3, 1914: Germany declares war on France
German Military StrategyHow do you fight a war on two fronts? “Schlieffen Plan:” Defeat France before Russians mobilize HOW? Fastest Route: invade through Belgium – August 3, 1914
Why did Britain get involved?August 4, 1914 • Belgian Neutrality • Protected by British • Britain declares war on Germany • U.S. neutral; Loans Allies >$3 billion “There’s some devilry going on in Berlin.” (Sir Edward Grey: British Foreign Secretary)
Alliances – Why? ALLIED POWERS CENTRAL POWERS Naval Race DEMOCRACIES • England • France • 3. Russia • 4. Serbia • Germany • A-H • 3. Ottoman Empire Similar Culture Arms Race Lost territory warm water ports NATIONALIST TENSIONS “Slavic brothers” Resents Russia “Sick Man of Europe”

Rupert Brooke ~ “The Soldier” If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is forever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
