Answer 2

The causes intertwine.

1. Militarism - "The sun never sets on the British Empire," and all that empire needs defending. Britain and France both had interests in Africa, the Caribbean, and southern Asia. To defend their shipping routes and foreign property, they needed huge miltaries.

2. Alliances - Whoever attacks you attacks me, and whoever attacks me attacks you. That was the basis of a lot of treaties, so countries that initially wouldn't have been involved, such as the Ottoman Empire and Britain, got tangled up and so did their imperial property.

3. Imperialism - As I said with the militarism, these nations had a lot of land overseas. Everyone wanted more than their share, and they were willing to fight for it. The war was called the Great War and later a World War because a battle could have happened literally anywhere two warring nations had property too close to each other, and they all had property all over the place.

4. Everyone thought their empire was the best. Everyone wanted more for themselves.

The immediate cause was the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife by the Serbs.

Answer 3

1- militarism: Germany, France, Japan and England all started building "big" battleships.... big guns, lots of armor. Had to out do the other.

2-Alliances: France was allied to Russia.....

3- Imperialism- at the time, England still had colonies.... some wanted colonies too (a bit late, but still)

4-Nationalism: Each country was looking out for their own interests....

You could prob search the web and find TONs of sites about WWI and WWII....

Oh- is this a High School paper or for college level?

Answer 4

The assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria is considered to have been the trigger to start the war. Gavrilo Princip, the guy responsible for the assassination, seems to have been, unwittingly, the most influential person of the 20th century -- sparking a chain of events leading into both world wars, the cold war, and the rise of communism.

Answer 5

Immediate cause was territory! (there is so much written about WW1, difficult where to begin!)
