Answer 2

- The real cause was a lack of immediate communication between Great Powers. Other causes were, the intransigence of Serbia, the refusal of Austria-Hungary to move against Serbia without German guarantees-this is THE proximate cause, as it would bring Russia and France into the issue almost immediately.
- ALLIES: France, Italy (1915) Russia (surrendered 1917), United Kingdom and Empire, Portugal, Japan, USA eventually (1917), Romania (exited 1916), Serbia (collapsed 1916)
- CENTRAL POWERS: German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bulgaria, Ottoman Empire
US Entered the War because:
- The Zimmerman Telegram
- Resumption of Unrestricted Submarine Warfare
- Sinking of the Lusitania
- Effective Allied propaganda, admittedly German actions in Belgium and France helped.

Answer 3

Although I would normally advocate that people do their own homework and project work, or else they are not learning anything - as you are called 49ers wide receiver, I shall relent on this occasion because I grew up in the era of Montana, Young and Rice.

BE PREPARED - THIS IS GOING TO BE BIG !!!

Causes :

The spark was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914.
Ferdinand's death at the hands of the Black Hand, a Serbian nationalist secret society, set in train a mindlessly mechanical series of events that culminated in the world's first global war.

Austria-Hungary's reaction to the death of their heir (who was in any case not greatly beloved by the Emperor, Franz Josef, or his government) was three weeks in coming. Arguing that the Serbian government was implicated in the machinations of the Black Hand (whether she was or not remains unclear, but it appears unlikely), the Austro-Hungarians opted to take the opportunity to stamp its authority upon the Serbians, crushing the nationalist movement there and cementing Austria-Hungary's influence in the Balkans. It did so by issuing an ultimatum to Serbia which, in the extent of its demand that the assassins be brought to justice effectively nullified Serbia's sovereignty. Austria-Hungary's expectation was that Serbia would reject the remarkably severe terms of the ultimatum, thereby giving her a pretext for launching a limited war against Serbia. However, Serbia had long had Slavic ties with Russia, an altogether different proposition for Austria-Hungary. Whilst not really expecting that Russia would be drawn into the dispute to any great extent other than through words of diplomatic protest, the Austro-Hungarian government sought assurances from her ally, Germany, that she would come to her aid should the unthinkable happen and Russia declared war on Austria-Hungary. Germany readily agreed, even encouraged Austria-Hungary's warlike stance. The alliance system in place across Europe at the time brought other countries into the war. In reality they were all spoiling for a fight with each other.

Answer 4

ok=Kapo (a prisoner in a concentration camp who oversaw different prisoners) or ok=Kamikaze (eastern suicide pilots) ok=Kristallnacht ("nighttime of the broken Glass", the main significant anti-Jewish pogrom previous the Holocaust) V= Versailles (as interior the Treaty of Versailles, which ended the conflict) or V= VE or VJ day Q=Quisling (betrayed Norway to Germany) U=uk or u.s.(in case you may properly be that wide) or U=U-boats E=ecu front (or purely Europe) R=crimson (Soviet) military or R=the Resistance (against the Nazi's interior conquered international places) Y=Yugoslavia W=Warsaw Ghetto (the main important Jewish ghetto throughout the time of WW2) As for X and Z, there are a pair of stripling battles which would be utilized, yet they're little generally happening and with little value. right here they're anyhow: Zemland Offensive , conflict of Xinkou, conflict of Xuzhou, Xiamen, conflict of Xiushui River, conflict of Zaoyang-Yichang, conflict of Zhejiang-Jiangxi,
