M.A.I.N. - the main causes of WWI Militarism- the build-up of a nation’s military and glorification of the military and war Alliance system- the formation of rival alliances (this increased the likelihood that a small conflict could explode into something much larger) Imperialism- the competition between Europe’s countries to take over and dominate other areas socially, politically, and economically for the benefit of the mother country Nationalism- deep pride in, love of, devotion to your country or ethnic group. Nationalism was the basis for the push of many ethnic groups in the Ottoman, A-H, and Russian empires to create their own independent states.

  7. Many young men lied about their age in order to join their country’s army and partake in the “glory” of war. This young man was 14 at the time - what were you doing when you were 14?

  9. The Glory of War? In the summer of 1914 many eager young men across Europe enlisted in their country’s army. Most everyone was sure that the conflict would be a short one. Leaders announced to troops that they would be home with their families by Christmas. They were tragically mistaken. - why did most have this expectation? - why did the war not end quickly and why did it result in so many casualties?
