This prompted suspicion as both sides felt threatened by the other • Imperialism – Britain and France both had empires that they had built over a period of time. Countries like Germany, Japan and Italy saw this as unfair and felt that they equally had a right to take more land.
Causes of World War I Cont. • Nationalism – People believed that those of the same nationality should live together and have the power to rule over themselves. Germany, Russia and the Austro-Hungarian empire who ruled these countries were losing their grip on power • Treaties – the countries formed alliances amongst each other and effectively split into two groups The Triple Alliance – Austria/Hungary, Germany and Italy and The Triple Entente – Britain, France and Russia
And In The Short Term Franz Ferdinand (Archduke Of Austria) was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist who wanted to free Serbians from Austro-Hungarian rule. The reaction by Austria to this murder sparked a chain of declarations of War across Europe.
Effects Of World War I • Economic Effects – War is very expensive and was a drain on the resources of all countries involved. Germany was made to pay huge reparations to the allies which put them in huge economic difficulties for many years after the war.

Resolution to World War I The war came to and end after both sides agreed to a ceasefire in 1918 after the allies had gained the upper hand. To avoid a future conflict all sides were required to sign the Treaty Of Versailles, an agreement designed PREVENT war in the future.
Resolution to World War I The treaty stated that Germany must: • Give up her colonies plus additional land to France, Poland and Czechoslovakia • Restrict the size of her military • Make payments (reparations) to the allies to compensate them for their losses during the war • Sign a ‘War Guilt Clause’ accepting full responsibility for the war.
Resolution to World War I The League of Nations was set up as a peace keeping organisation to make decisions on arbitration in the future. HOWEVER Resentment about the terms of the treaty and the ineffectiveness of the League Of Nations lead to a further conflict in the future, World War II
