Militarism

Alliances

Imperailism

Nationalism

Militarism was a problem because if one nation saw another building their army they would get scared and start building their army and at some point they would have to send their soldiers at each other, such as Germany building their navy populations to go against Britian.

Alliances were a problem because if three country's were in a alliance and one country didn't like on of the three country's in the alliance, they would start a war with each other and the third country would have to pick one of the nations to team up with.

Imperailism is when one nation builds power from taking over other nations, this was shown because many people before World War 1 wanted to take over Europe because of the large amount of raw material in their area which can be sold and used to make materials.

Some country's get too proud of their nation which leads to thoughts of taking more land, when really they are bitting off more than they can chew because they are just starting a war and putting a large amount of their people's lives in danger, such as Germany trying to force Britian into a alliance because they thought they could.

In July 28, 1914 was started when Franz Ferdinand was assassinated who was known as the archduke of Austria Hungary, Franz was assassinated by a Surbian military group that went by the name Black Hand
