Cause of WWI


The cause of  world war I was  the assassination of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the heir to the Habsburg throne, on June 28, 1914. That's when everything started. Then people started to get alliances just in case they needed back up. United states was the last one to get involved . Because USA dint want to get no enemies  or get in to  danger .
The primary causes of the war was Nationalism, Militarism, Assassination of Franz Ferdinand and the collapse of the alliance system. Nationalism happened with Germany and Italy . Italy didn't wanna be  cool with Germany they didn't want to be become one  because they felt different they were loyal to their country they didn't want to change things. assassination of Frankz Ferdinand contributed to the cause of this war    by  Austrian people  wanting to  punish  Serbia  for killing their leader so  Austria joined  alliance with Germany to do whatever  to Serbia. Also Militarism  was a way to countries used to solve problem and the bigger the military the more powerful you are and the more money. also this game more jobs to people it increased jobs .
