Causes of WW1

          World War 1 was a war that was worldwide. It was very violent and deadly. Many soldiers and even civilians got killed. There were many new inventions of weapons such as machine guns, and poison gas. How did World War 1 started? What were the causes of World War 1? I'll explain you three causes of World War 1.

          One of the causes of World War 1 was militarism. Many countries that were involved in World War 1 were assembling huge armies in there military camps. Many high power officers began to rally all there troops. Before World War 1 started many armies would make war plans ahead of time. These war plans plots began evil and fear to other armies. To help these armies in battle, they were new inventions such as machine guns and poison gas. All the countries had powerful and fearless armies and only one could be the best. 

          Another cause of World War 1 was nationalism. The people of all these countries love their country and would support their government. They also felt very proud whenever their country got more colonies. France was angry at Germany ever since 1870 when France loss Alsace Lorraine to Germany. The Germans themselves had just became one country under the force of nationalism. 

          Last cause of World War 1 was the assassination of king Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. He was killed by someone from Surbia. Austria-Hungary realized they had a right to blame Surbia for the killing of their leader. Becaus of this they decided to declare war. This event leaded to the start of World War I. One of the most deadliest wars in the world. I have to admit its hard to believe.
