  7. How is imperialism bad? • Think about the Scramble for Africa. • Do you think that some countries may have been jealous if they didn’t have as many colonies as France in Africa? • How might this lead to bad feelings between different European countries?

  8. Imperialism • Is one of the MAIN reasons why war broke out between European countries in the First World War! • Our next unit! Hooraaaaaaaaaaaaay!

  9. World War 1 Review

  10. Causes of WWI • A. Imperialism • 1. Strong countries conquered smaller weaker countries (colonies) • 2. European countries – Asia and Africa • 3. European countries competed for colonies. This made them not like each other

  11. World War I • Nationalism was one of the main causes of World War 1 in 1914.

  12. B. Nationalism • 1. Definition: To love your country or culture • 2. Example: Europeans thought they were the best and wanted to fight a war to prove it.

  13. Nationalism • What is Nationalism? • How does nationalism make people more willing to fight for their country?

  14. C. Arms Race • 1. Each country wanted to have the biggest military. • 2. More weapons make countries want to fight a war.

  15. D. Alliances • Alliances: agreement between countries saying that the people of one nation would help the people of an allied nation if they needed it. • This meant that more countries were willing to take risks because they knew they had support from their allies.

  16. E. Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand • THE FINAL thing that led to war! • 1. Assassination is the killing of an important person • 2. The archduke was the next king • 3. Austria Hungary controlled land in the Balkans, including a country called Serbia. Serbia wanted their land back!

  17. Austria acts like a jerk to Serbia! • Austrians decide to have a parade in Serbia celebrating that Austria taking over. • The parade is on the day of a Serbian holiday. • This is VERY disrespectful to Serbia.

  18. So…… Serbians get angry and: • A Serbian man shoots the Archduke Franz Ferdinand while he is riding in a parade car.

  19. Austria Hungary is really mad • They declare war on Serbia

  20. The Balkans

  21. Summary Main causes of WWI • Arms Race: People try to show how strong they are with weapons (machine gun, ships, submarine) • Imperialism: People take over other countries. They fight for land and colonizing. Ex: Indians got upset: war • Nationalism: To love you your country. You DON’T love other countries. If my country is right, everyone else is wrong. My country is the best • Alliances: Friendship between countries. War gets bigger because countries that are friends fight for each other EVEN if they weren’t part of the first fight. • Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand: When a Serbian man killed the prince of Austria Hungary.

  22. Days that Shook the world • The death of Franz Ferdinand

  23. Do Now: • What were 4 things that were happening in Europe, BEFORE Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, that made world war likely?

  24. Causes of WWI poster • Today you will make a poster about ONE of the causes of WWI • 1. Arms Race: People try to show how strong they are with weapons (machine gun, ships, submarine) • 2. Imperialism: People take over other countries. They fight for land and colonizing. Ex: Indians got upset: war • 3. Nationalism: To love you your country. You DON’T love other countries. If my country is right, everyone else is wrong. My country is the best • 4. Alliances: Friendship between countries. War gets bigger because countries that are friends fight for each other EVEN if they weren’t part of the first fight. • 5.

  27. II. Beginning of WWI • A. The “small” war • 1. The war should only be between Austria Hungary and Serbia.

  28. B. Alliance System • 1. Because of the alliance system it becomes a much bigger war • 2. Triple Alliance = Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy • 3. Triple Entente = Great Britain, France, Russia

  29. These alliances • Were made BEFORE the war started! • AFTER the war had become, alliances led countries to take sides. There were the Central Powers and the Allied Powers

  30. The 2 sides of the war: • Central Powers: Germany and Austria-Hungary (They were called this because they are located in the center of Europe) • Allied Powers: Great Britain, Russia, France, Serbia

  31. C. The “big” war • 1. When one country in the alliance is attacked, other countries in the alliance joined the war. • As other countries joined the war, the war became bigger and bigger!

  32. Review! • Answer the following questions: • 1. What is imperialism and how did it lead to competition between countries? • 2. What is an arms race? Who was involved in the arms race leading up to WWI and who started it? • 3. How did nationalism cause problems in the Balkans? • 4. What is an alliance? Why would countries want to be part of an alliance? • 5. Which countries were part of the Triple Alliance? • 6. Which countries were part of the Triple Entente? • 7. What was the final thing that happened to cause a declaration of war? • 8. Did people think the war would last a long time? Why DID the war last a long time?

  33. During the war! • Do Now: New weapons like poison gas and machine guns were invented soon before WWI. How do you think these inventions changed the way battles were fought?

  36. More weapons

  37. Tank Warfare http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f6/British_Mark_I_male_tank_Somme_25_September_1916.jpg

  38. Machine Gun http://www.diggerhistory.info/images/weapons-ww1-allied/vickers.jpg

  39. Airplanes http://imagecache5.art.com/p/LRG/8/820/4Y1Y000Z/world-war-i-aircraft.jpg

  40. Germans used a new weapon: • Big Bertha: • Helped Germans to be able to blow up targets many miles away.

  41. Big Bertha • This is one of the main reasons why battles were fought in trenches. Soldiers needed protection from weapons like the German “Big Bertha” and machine guns.

  42. The war gets even BIGGER! • Germany (part of the Triple Alliance: Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy) didn’t want France to help Russia (Part of the Triple Entente: France, Russia and Great Britain).

  43. Germany tries to stop France • So, they marched through Belgium (a neutral country) to get to France. Great Britain got mad because Germany invaded a neutral (didn’t take sides in the war and didn’t want to fight) country. So, Great Britain declared war on Germany.

  44. No Quick Victory • Germany now had to fight enemies on both sides of their country. • East: Russia • West: France, Belgium and Great Britain

  45. Two-Front War • When a country’s army has to fight on both sides of the country. • Why do you think two-front war is bad?

  46. Weaker Armies! • Two-front war means a country has to spread their army all over the country. There are less soldiers/supplies at one place than there could be if the fighting was only on one front (side).

  47. What did Germany do? • They tried to rush to defeat France quickly with as many soldiers as possible so they could win in France and THEN move all of their soldiers to the other front: Russia.

  48. Problem • The Russians moved too fast. The Germans had to send many soldiers from the Western Front to Russia (East).

  49. Problem • Because Germany lost soldiers on the Western Front, they were much weaker in fighting against the French.

  50. Check for understanding! • 1. What are 2 new weapons that were introduced during WWI? • 2. Why did the war get much bigger for Germany?
