Four M.A.I.N. Causes of WWI
• Militarism: building up of a nation’s military and weaponry. All wanted the biggest
• Alliances: formed in case of a war. All quick to help out their friends
• Imperialism: Colonies all over world, esp. Africa/Asia, colonies had to fight their empire’s enemies. Contest for biggest empire
• Nationalism: Pride in one’s country (often taken too far) Same as patriotism

Militarism
• Building up of a nation’s military.• Mainly done to protect far off colonies from
enemies.• Once one country started building its armies,
all the nations started doing it (domino effect)• Armies and Navies were ready to go in case of
any trouble (created a nervous situation)– Any minor disagreement might start a war
