  10. Objectives • Describe how international rivalries and nationalism pushed Europe toward war. • Explain how the assassination in Sarajevo led to the start of World War I. • Analyze the causes and effects of the European alliance system.

  11. Terms and Places • entente – a nonbinding agreement to follow common policies • militarism – glorification of the military • Alsace and Lorraine – provinces on the border of Germany and France, lost by France to Germany in 1871; regained by France after WWI • ultimatum – a final set of demands • mobilize – to prepare military forces for war • neutrality – supporting neither side in a war

  12. Why and how did World War I begin in 1914? By 1914, Europe had enjoyed a century of relative peace. Two alliances were formed with the intention of keeping that peace. When the Austrian Archduke was assassinated a local conflict became an international war because of alliance obligations.

  13. Alliances within Europe were created in the late nineteenth century to promote peace.

  14. These alliances were based on previous wars, new economic rivalries, and competition for colonies. These rivalries increased militarism, and the great powers began to increase the size of their armies and navies.

  15. Growing nationalism and economic competition also caused tensions within countries and across European borders. Britain was threatened by Germany’s industrial advances. Germany believed that Russian industry was not far behind them. Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire were threatened by nationalism and struggled to survive.

  16. Nationalism grew in different ways in each country in Europe. • France was bitter about the loss of Alsace and Lorraine during the Franco-Prussian War and wanted it returned. • Russia supported Pan-Slavism, which held that all Slavic people, regardless of borders, shared a common nationality.

  17. The Great War began when Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were assassinated by a Serbian nationalist. Shortly after, on July 28, 1914, after issuing an ultimatum, Austria declared war on Serbia.

  18. Germany declared war on Russia. The war between Austria and Serbia soon drew the great powers into the conflict. Serbia sought help from its ally Russia, who began to mobilize. France gave backing to Russia, despite German demands that it stay out of the conflict.

  19. Days later, Germany marched through Belgium and headed south to attack France. Germany declared war on France. With Belgium’s neutrality violated, Britain declared war on Germany on August 4.

  20. At the onset, the war brought a renewed sense of patriotism. • Young men rushed to enlist in what seemed like an exciting adventure. • Patriotic fever helped governments divert attention from labor disputes or nationalist disturbances within their borders.
