Military expenditures increased dramatically beginning in the 1850s and they tripled in the 50 years before WWI.
In particular, Germany began to try to compete with Britain’s Navy,
the dominant force at the time.

The nations of Europe promised to protect Belgium’s neutrality and independence to create a buffer zone

As the German states were unifying into the Prussian Empire under Otto Von Bismarck conflict arose with the French. The French felt unification would destroy the
traditional balance of power in Europe and threaten French sovereignty.
![Page 12: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Napoleon III began to push for “natural borders” at the Rhine which led to political conflict with the German states. War broke out over
territory in Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Alsace-Lorraine.
![Page 13: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Following the capture of Napoleon III, the war ended. The Third French Republic was established and territory in the
Alsace-Lorraine was seeded to the new German Empire.
![Page 14: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Germany consistently increased its control over politics on the continent and French resentment toward the Germans
increased dramatically. The general dislike for Germany led to a great deal of popular support for French involvement in WWI.
![Page 15: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
While some countries hoped to expand their power and influence in
the world, other groups of people (particularly Slavs living in the Balkans) were simply hoping to establish
their own states.
The Balkans are really important…we will be talking this area a lot!

The Balkans has been a politically unstable area for the last 120 years, mostly due to the variety of ethnic groups living so close to one another.
ALBANIANS MACEDONIANS
GREEKS ROMANIANS
GYPSIES SLAVS
ROMA BULGARIANS
HUNGARIANS CROATIANS
JEWS SERBIANS
SLOVENES TURKS

Currents of Trouble
A. The Ottoman Empire was collapsing in the late 1800s; many Balkan nations began to declare their independence
![Page 24: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

![Page 26: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
B. Serbia declares its independence and Serbian Nationalism grows
1. Large Slavic population
2. Desire to absorb all Slavs in the Balkans
3. Neighboring countries did not all support this plan, especially Austria-Hungary which was a Germanic nation
![Page 27: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
I love Serbia,for I am also amostly Slavic
country
I fear Serbia,for their growth might
make my Slavicpopulation revolt
![Page 28: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• In 1908, Austria-Hungary took over Bosnia and Herzegovina, which Serbia also claimed
• Serbia threatened war, but their Slavic ally Russia was weaker than Austria-Hungary’s Germanic ally Germany; nothing happened
• Serbia continued to expand and the situation remained tense
![Page 29: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Wait…so…both Austria and Serbia feel that they have a right to control
Bosnia and Herzegovina…
![Page 31: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
But Austria is bigger…and they
are allied with Germany, which means there is
nothing Serbia can do about it.
![Page 32: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Balkan Peninsula became
unstable during the decline of the Ottoman
Empire

Germanic and Slavic
people/nations competing for control of the
Balkans

Serbia becomes independent,
Serbian Nationalism grows, and the Black
Hand (a militant Serbian nationalist group) is formed

D. General underlying causes of the war
1. Balkan Peninsula became unstable during the decline of the Ottoman Empire
2. Germanic and Slavic people/nations competing for control of the Balkans
3. Serbia becomes independent, Serbian Nationalism grows, and the Black Hand (a militant Serbian nationalist group) is formed

IV. The "Powder Keg" in the Balkans Explodes
A. "The Spark": June 28th, 1914: Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie are assassinated in Sarajevo, Bosnia by Gavrilo Princip, a member of the Serbian Black
Hand
![Page 43: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
But wait…how did the assassination of an
Austrian monarch by a bunch of Serbian radicals in Sarajevo, Bosnia cause
an entire world war?
![Page 44: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

On July 23rd, 1914 Austria-Hungary threatened war with Serbia if the assassins were not turned over for prosecution
![Page 46: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

So…on July 28th, 1914, five days later, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia
![Page 48: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
As expected, that same day (July 28th), Russian troops began to mobilize to come to the defense of her Slavic ally
Serbia
![Page 49: M ilitarism A lliance System I mperial Tensions N ationalism.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cf55503460f949c343d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

L. Within a month of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand all the major European powers were at war, though many of them really had nothing to do with the initial cause of the conflict!
