Whare are 3 causes of the war starting & the final chain of events that led the wrold to world war one?

Answer 1

--Here is a straightforward and bold presentation of what happens among individuals, groups and yes applicable to nations:

(James 4:1-3) “4 From what source are there wars and from what source are there fights among YOU? Are they not from this source, namely, from YOUR cravings for sensual pleasure that carry on a conflict in YOUR members? 2 YOU desire, and yet YOU do not have. YOU go on murdering and coveting, and yet YOU are not able to obtain. YOU go on fighting and waging war. YOU do not have because of YOUR not asking. 3 YOU do ask, and yet YOU do not receive, because YOU are asking for a wrong purpose, that YOU may expend [it] upon YOUR cravings for sensual pleasure.”

--As for any war ---the formula above if used greedily, can start a war and keep it going for years.

Answer 2

The assasination Archduke Ferdinand is usually given as the reason for the start of the First World War, but the Guns of October, written by the child of an adult child of a diplomat who went through the war, and many other more recent historians have pointed out that Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, the major aggressor in the conflict, had been building up forces and planning aggression before Archduke Ferdinand had been assasinated or had even gone to Serbia. Kaiser Wilhelm sought revenge for an earlier loss Germany had suffered from France, resulting in the loss of an area in the Alsace-Lorraine region which was a source of conflict between Germany and France for many years. Even now there are people in the area who consider themselves German. Turkey saw itself as a defendor of Moslems and sought to protect Moslems in that area and possibly reclaim the region which it had lost as the Turkish Empire under the Marmaduke Imperial line faded. The Austrio-Hungarian Empire was also fading and losing its inlfluence and actually had little heart for the battle that was attributed to its "honor".

Answer 3

(1) Nationalism: Beyond simple patriotism, nationalism was the driving force behind the unification of both Germany and Italy in the late nineteenth century.
(2) Militarism: European countries were rapidly expanding their militaries, especially Germany and Great Britain, whose armed forces sought to outdo each other.
(3) Alliances: The Triple Alliance consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. The Triple Entente contained Britain, France, and Russia.
There is a fourth "ism" (possibly industrialism?), but I can't remember it.
This created what many called the "powderkeg" of Europe, and the action that lit the fuse was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the next in line for the throne of Austria-Hungary, by a member of the Black Hand, a Serbian nationalist group, in Sarajevo. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Russia declared war on Austria, seeking to support her Slavic brother, Serbia. Germany declared war on Russia, and France and Britain declared war on Germany. Italy did not join with Germany and Austria because it felt that the treaty it had signed was defensive in nature and that Austria had been the aggressor in the conflict.
