The Anglo - German rivalry was one of the most important causes to WWI and the tention in Europe. The second naval law passed in Germany in 1900, this law called for the German battelship fleet doubling by 1916. Since Great Britain had the leading naval position, they felt threatened by the Germans. Britain responded by increasing the navy and iin 1906 builfing a new battleship.
Morocco was one of the few countries in Africa that was not controlled by European powers. Germany and France were largely at odds during the First Moroccan Crisis about who should rule Morocco. Other major powers and countries showed interest as well and supported either France or Germany. Because it raised tensions in Europe, it was a long-term factor in the outbreak of World War One.
The European powers had formed two alliances by 1907. The Tripe Alliance of Germany, Italy and Austria - Hungary and Triple Entente of Russia, France and Britain. These alliance systems caused the build-up of tension in Europe
Bosnia-Herzegovina was incorporated to Austria-dominion Hungary’s in 1908 by taking advantage of the anarchy that was spreading throughout the Balkans. After the Moroccan Crisis of 1905, this led to yet another global crisis. Serbs made up the majority of the population in this region, and they detested Austria; in fact, Serbia had planned to incorporate Bosnia into a “Greater Serbia.” When Germany made it apparent that it supported Austria-Hungary, Russia had to withdraw its condemnation of the action together with Serbia. They weren’t willing to risk starting a war over it. Although the crisis itself did not result in a direct confrontation, the fallout had a significant effect on world affairs. Russia stepped up its program of rearming because it was determined not to have to concede again.
in 1911 Kaiser Wilhem interfered again in Morocco. Moroccan rebels attacked the town of Fez. Sultan requested to France for help. The French replied to the Sultan’s request for assistance by deploying an army to help quell the uprising. In order to defend German interests, Wilhelm accused the French of invading Morocco and dispatched the cruiser Panther to the port of Agadir.
In those years rgere was a series of local wars in the Balkan regions. This war resulted in Serbia doubling its size. This growth had consequences, now Serbia was now more determined to unite all Serbs into a Greater Serbia and this made Austria - Hungary even more determined to crush the Serbians.
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the immediate cause of World War I. The Archduke was assassinated in June 1914 by a Serbian nationalist terrorist organization known as the Black Hand. When a motorist escaped a grenade hurled at their car, their first attempt was unsuccessful. However, later that day in Sarajevo, Bosnia, which was then a part of Austria-Hungary, a Serbian nationalist by the name of Gavrilo Princip killed him and his wife. This was a protest against Austria-Hungary governing this area. Bosnia and Herzegovina was under Serb control. Due to this assassination, Serbia was at war with Austria-Hungary.This assassination led to Austria-Hungary
declaring war on Serbia. When Russia began to mobilize
due to its alliance with Serbia, Germany declared war on
Russia. Thus began the expansion of the war to include all
those involved in the mutual defense alliances.
Over time, nations in Europe came to mutual defense pacts that would force them into conflict.Due to these treaties, allied nations were obligated to defend one another in the event of an attack.
Imperialism s when a country increases their power and wealth by bringing additional territories under their
control.
An arms race had started as the 20th century began. Germany experienced the largest rise in its military buildup by 1914. During this time, both Germany and Great Britain significantly grew their warships.
The desire of the Slavic populations of Bosnia and Herzegovina to join Serbia rather than Austria-Hungary was a major factor in the beginning of the conflict.
Nationalism sparked the War in this way. But on a broader scale, nationalism in the various European nations had a part in both the start and the spread of the conflict there. Each nation made an effort to establish its superiority and might.
