World War 1

The explosive that was World War One had been long in the stockpiling; the spark was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand , heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914.Also World War One started because of  militarism.Militarism is a political orientation of a people or a government to maintain a strong military force and to be prepared to use it aggressively to defend or promote national interest.World War One started because of an alliance.An alliance is an agreement or friendship between two or more parties,made in order to advance common goals and to secure common interest.Imperialism is another reason for World War One.Imperialism is the policy or practice of extending a country's influence over other territories by conquest,colonization,or economic domination.The last reason is nationalism.Nationalism is devotion to the interest or culture of one's nation.


Europe wanted to team up so when it was time for war they would have each other's back.Militarism is when countries want to have power.A alliance system is a armed force.A group of country is when two countries come together and make an agreement to protect each other.


The U.S. became involved in World War One because of  the sinking of the British passenger Lusitania,where a number of U.S. citizens died.Also after submarines sank seven U.S. merchants ships and the publication of  the Zimmerman telegram,Wilson called for war on Germany,which the U.S.congress declared on April 6, 1917.The U.S. went to war against Germany in April 1917.
