ImperialismFor centuries, European nations built empires, slowly
extending their economic and political control over various peoples of the world. Colonies supplied the
European imperial powers with raw materials and provided markets for manufactured goods.

A devotion to the interests and culture of one’s nation, nationalism led to
competitive and antagonistic rivalries among nations.

As Germany industrialized, it competed with France and Britain in the contest
for colonies.

In this atmosphere of competition, many feared Germany’s growing power in Europe. In addition,
various ethnic groups resented domination by others and longed for their nations to become
independent. Many ethnic groups looked to larger nations for protection (for example: Russia &
Europe’s Slavic peoples.)

Each nation wanted stronger armed forces than those of any potential enemy, the imperial powers followed a policy of
militarism- the development of armed forces and their use as a tool of diplomacy.
Military spending increased 300% globally between 1870-1914

Past fighting was nothing new between European Powers.
1.Germany/France
2.Austria-Hungary/ethnic groups
3.Russians looking for warmer ports
4.Great Britain/France)
These old rivalries began to re-surface!

By 1890, Germany was the strongest nation, which had set up an army
reserve system that drafted and trained young men.

As an island nation, Britain had always relied on its navy for defense and protection of its shipping routes. The British navy was the
strongest in the world.

In 1897, Wilhelm II, Germany’s Kaiser, decided that his nation should become a major sea power in order to compete
against the British.

Soon British and German shipyards competed to build the largest battleships and
destroyers.

To deter aggression and protect national interests and safety an alliance system formed over time.
Most alliances were bound by military treaties with many of them swore in by secrecy.
![Page 15: The Great War 20War%20I.jpg.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649de45503460f94adc06e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
By 1907 there were two major defense alliances in Europe.
a. The Triple Entente (the Allies)
b. The Triple Alliance (Central Powers)

The alliance system provided a measure of international security because
nations were reluctant to disturb the balance of power.

b. Entangled Alliances pull all into war within a week

Germany’s Schlieffen plan called for a holding action against Russia, combined with a quick drive through Belgium to Paris; after France
had fallen, the two German armies would defeat Russia.

Unable to save Belgium, the Allies retreated to the Marne River in France, where they halted
the German advance in September 1914. After struggling to outflank (get around) each other’s armies, both sides dug in for a long
siege.

IMPORTANT EARLY BATTLES - 1st Battle of the Marne – Sept. 5-12, 1914
(Allied Victory – Trench Warfare Begins)
- Verdun – Feb. 21, 1916 (major German offensive)
- Battle of the Somme – July 1st -Mid November, 1916 (Bloodiest battle)
- Only 7 miles change hands – Bloody stalemate

The machine gun, poison gas, airplanes, mechanized cannons, tanks, and
submarines are introduced into modern warfare, preventing either side form
winning a quick victory.

By the spring of 1915, two parallel systems of deep, rat-infested trenches crossed France from the
Belgian coast to the Swiss Alps.

Trench Warfare
Trench Warfare – Long concentrated artillery bombardments, followed by all out charges at the enemy across “no man’s land” (area between the trenches)
![Page 43: The Great War 20War%20I.jpg.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649de45503460f94adc06e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Between the trenches lay “no man’s land” – a barren expanse of mud pockmarked with
shell craters and filled with barb wire. Periodically, the soldiers charged enemy lines, only to be mowed down by machine
gun fire.

This bloody trench warfare, in which armies fought for mere yards of ground, continued for over three years. Final casualties totaled in the millions, yet only about seven miles of ground changed hands on the Western Front.

Since the War of 1812, Americans had successfully avoided “entanglements” with Europe. A new turning point in U.S. policy was reached when
America entered WWI.

U.S. remains neutral?

2. French Foreign Legion – volunteer
3. U.S. Gov.t trades with both sidesa. British naval blockade – USA still supplies Allies
with food, weapons, supplies
b. American banks give Allies billions of dollars through war bonds
c. Central powers upset and notice unfair neutrality

Closer ties with the Allies
Many Americans traced their ancestry to Britain. A common language and history tied Americans to the British. Britain and France shared the same democratic political system.

Germany saw an unfair neutrality and was suffering near starvation so they announced unrestricted submarine
warfare.

Reasons US pushed toward war
1. German U-boats and Unrestricted Submarine Warfare
a. To fight British naval blockade
b. Unrestricted warfare – all seas around GB considered a “war zone” and subs would fire without warning.
c. By May 1915 Italy leaves the Central Powers and joins the Allies
![Page 60: The Great War 20War%20I.jpg.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649de45503460f94adc06e/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
The British blockade kept foreign food and arms. Germans only had submarines to fight back.

2. Sinking of the Lusitaniaa. May 7th, 1915 U-boat sinks Lusitania in 18
minutes, 1,200 die; 128 Americans
b. Secret cargo on board = 4,200 cases of gun cartridges
c. US remains neutral = American people upset = Wilson refused to repeal neutrality

3. Zimmerman Notea. Jan. 1917 intercepted by British intelligence
said:- Germany would continue unrestricted submarine
warfare
- Proposed Mexico to join Germany should US enter the war
- Promised Mexico financial aid to re-conquer NM, TX, and ARZ
B. American public is outraged!

US Declares War
1. Wilson outraged, breaks diplomatic relations with Germany
2. Zimmerman Note published in US papers on March 1st 1917
3. German U-boats sink 3 American ships on March 16th
4. US declares war on April 6th at 3 AM
5. More support war than oppose (Jeanette Rankin). Senate 82-6, House 373-50
![Page 67: The Great War 20War%20I.jpg.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649de45503460f94adc06e/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Despite the announcement of unrestricted submarine warfare, U.S. merchant ships continued to sail to
Britain. When the number of ships sunk by German submarines increased dramatically, President
Wilson asked Congress to declare war.

make the world safe for democracy.”

regulate the wartime economy. The government supervised food and industrial
production, shipping, and the railroads.

Wilson felt the most important part of his plan was the creation of an
international peace organization, the League of Nations, which would
prevent future wars.

Other treaties were similarly harsh on Germany’s allies, Austria and Turkey.

Senate rejects the League of NationsWilson hoped the League of Nations would discourage
future wars. His opponents believed it would drag Americans into unnecessary military commitments. The League of Nations failed, in part because many
major world powers, including the United States, never became members.

Wilson needed two-thirds of the Senate to ratify the treaty. Wilson appealed directly to
American voters by going on a national speaking tour. Wilson failed to realize that Americans were disillusioned with world affairs. During the tour, President Wilson
suffers a crippling stroke.

During the 1920’s, Americans once again followed George Washington’s advice “to
steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” Isolationism-
refusing to become involved in other countries’ affairs.

Woman’s suffrage and the prohibition of alcohol were passed at the end of World War I, becoming
the final reforms of the Progressive Era.
