  3. Key Vocabulary Alliance: When two or more people or countries agree to support and help each other. Ally: Someone who is on your side. Draft: Required service in the military

  4. Causes Many European countries had formed alliances with other countries. There were two major groups of alliances. Group One: Russia, France, Great Britain (United Kingdom) Group Two: Germany, Austria-Hungary

  5. Causes Adapted from http://www.kidskonnect.com/subject-index/16-history/287-world-war-i.html World War 1 was triggered on 28 June 1914 by the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. He was the nephew of Emperor Franz Josef and heir to the throne of Austria and Hungary.  The assassination was planned by a Serbian terrorist group…and the man who shot Franz Ferdinand was a Serbian revolutionary named GavriloPrincip.

  6. A Serbian terrorist killed the man who would one day rule Austria-Hungary. lEt’s Review

  7. Causes Austria insisted that Serbia compensate/fix the problem. What could Serbia have done to try and prevent war? Russia sided with Serbia. Why would Russia choose to side with Serbia? (Remember those alliances!) Germany supported Austria. Germany launched a preemptive strike against France through Belgium. “The War to End All Wars” officially began on August 1, 1914.

  8. MORE ALLIANCES! Later on each group will gain more allies. The groups will eventually become: Group One: ALLIED POWERS Russia, France, Great Britain (United Kingdom), Italy, United States, Japan, Romania, Belgium, Serbia, Greece, Portugal, and Montenegro Group Two: CENTRAL POWERS Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria

  9. WHY Go to War? (Other Causes) Motives for the war included: Competition for colonies Rivalry between Germany & England for greatest power in the seas (strongest navy, trading power) The breakup of the Ottoman Empire (unstable nations) Competition for weapons

  10. The Lusitania U.S. ships including the Lusitania were attacked 124 Americans on The Lusitania were killed on May 1915 by German submarines. This attack brings the United States into the war. The United States sides with Russia, France, and Great Britain. Why?

  11. The Draft After declaring war, President Wilson called for a million men to volunteer, but six weeks later only 73,000 had signed up. On May of 1917, Congress passed the Selective Service Act, allowing the armed forces to draft young men into the military whether they wanted to serve or not. It was the first time in U.S. history that young men were drafted into a national army. Can you think of any other time men have been drafted into the military? Do you agree with the idea of drafting?

By 1918 more than 200,000 bushels of wheat had been stored by Utah women…The wheat was donated and shipped overseas [to help feed the troops in Europe. The mines at Utah Copper Company (now Kennecott) produced copper and other minerals used to supply guns and ammunition.
