By: Odett Meza
Militarism
- This occurs when military values and goals take over civilian society
- At this time governments were strongly influenced, if not dominated, by military leaders, their interests and priorities
- Britain and Germany began to compete with each other as their navy advanced and grew
- Militarism was so influential that kings began to wear military uniforms to present themselves
- a change of war strategey came from militarism, now it was better to attack than wait to be attacked

Alliances
- An alliance is a union or association formed for mutual benefit
- There were 2 alliances: Triple Alliance(Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy) and the Triple Entente (Great Britain, and France)
- the Triple Entente marked the end of British neutrality and isolationism
- The Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy) formed the basis of the Central Powers, the dominant alliance bloc in central Europe
- The war brought in the alliances because of a chain reaction and that is this:Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Russia got involved to defend Serbia. Germany seeing Russia mobilizing, declared war on Russia. France was then drawn in against Germany and Austria-Hungary. Germany attacked France through Belgium pulling Britain into war

Nationalism
- is a belief citizens of existing nation-states should promote their nations interests, or that each ethnic group should have its own nation
- Each country tried to prove their dominance and power.
- German nationalism was backed by German militarism. Both the kaiser and his nation were young, nationalistic, obsessed with military power and imperial expansion
- Rising nationalism was also a factor in the Balkans, where Slavic Serbs and others sought independence and autonomy from the political domination of Austria-Hungary.
- Pre-war nationalism was fuelled by wars, imperial conquests and rivalry, political rhetoric, newspapers and popular culture

Imperialism
- is the political and economical control of one state or people over another
- the British were threatened by German industrialization
- the best example of how imperialism was a cause of World War 1 is when, in 1908, Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina which were former territories of the Ottoman Empire. This caused great protest from several European countries and Austria-Hungary's neighbor Serbia
- The ‘scramble for empire’ fuelled rivalry and led to several diplomatic incidents, such as two ‘Moroccan crises’ that were largely precipitated by the German kaiser.
- Austria-Hungary hoped to expand into the Balkans; Russia moved to limit Austrian expansion while securing access to the Black Sea; Germany wanted to ensure the security and completion of its Berlin-to-Baghdad railway

Assassination
- is a murder (usually an important person) in a surprise attack for political or religious reasons
- the heir to the Austrian empire, archduke Ferdinand was assassinated by a nationalist and terrorist group
- June 28, the day of his assassination, was also Franz Ferdinand’s wedding anniversary.
- Austria-Hungary blamed the Serbian government for the assassination of Franz and Sophie. After Germany assured them of its support in case of Russian intervention, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia on July 28.
- On June 28, Franz and Sophie were first attacked by Nedeljko Čabrinović, who threw a grenade at their car. The bomb, however, bounced off the car to the street, wounding 16-20 people.
