Finally, Russia , they influenced the beginning of war because they were deceitful during the “ Willy and Nicky” telegrams. A significant part of Germany's carelessness is the ultimatum sent to Serbia. The ultimatum , which was written against all of serbia’s principals, was sent to the Kaiser to be overlooked before being sent off to Serbia. It
What was the main cause that started WW1? For many years, this has been a question that many historians have asked themselves. Many of them believe that Germany was the country who started the war and I agree with this. I think that Germany led to the beginning of the war because of many reasons. The German General staff intentionally urged Austria-Hungary to act unreasonably after the assassination of the austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand so that Germany wouldn’t be completely surrounded by its enemies.
One of the reasons why the world suffered another war is because Germany violated the Treaty of Versailles. They violated the treaty so their country would be great and they would get back to their original status before WWI. Hitler promised the German people that he will bring Germany out of the crash and make Germany more powerful than before. Adolf Hitler shares some of his ideas the German people, ”Oppressed territories are led back to the bosom of a common Reich, not by flaming protest, but by a mighty sword”(Document 1). Hitler is trying to convince the German people that they should start taking over land, not peacefully but by force.
In a newspaper two years before the war had even begun, the founder of an Serbian extremist group called the black hand says that the only way for Serbia to gain freedom and honor is threw war (Document 3). The newspaper states “This war must bring out the eternal freedom of Serbia.” Not only did Serbia want freedom from Austria-Hungary but hornor as well. Thinking that the war was the only way to gain the freedom and honor they wanted, Serbia looked to their only option for a band of extremists to kill the prince of Austria-Hungary. This is a extremely significant part of why World War I started because of an assassination of a leader in Austria-Hungary country.
War broke out in 1914 due to forces that had been building up in Europe for years. While the Allies blamed Germany for the war too harshly, its actions certainly did directly contribute to World War I, as did those of Austria Hungary. However, each country involved fostered militarism in their country, and became in entrenched in the web of alliances and race for imperial power, all causes of the environment that led to the Great War. Therefore, it could be said that all European countries were responsible, in part, for World War I, as reflected in Documents 5, 6, and 7.
The Allied Nations of Great Britain and France is the reason why Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 and began the second world war. One of the major causes of World War II that could have been prevented was how unfair the Treaty of Versailles was to
It also mentions how Germany had to accept the blame for starting WW1, most likely draining the countries pride as we can assume Hitler is alluding to in the Mein Kampf (document 3), which causes much of the built up anger and resent towards other European countries due to the way they targeted Germany in the Treaty of Versailles. Lastly, document 1 also mentions the very high amount of money Germany has to pay in reparations to other European countries because they “started” the war, which left Germany in an economic crumble, only further angering them.
Wilson 's declaration of war expresses that Germany was threat to the world. They planned to turn everyone’s government to their own. There were many ways they tried to take control and some of which are German spies and submarine warfare. Germany used spies to keep an eye on the other county and do to this many countries became worried that their freedom was being stolen. Germany struck fear into people and threatened democracy because of their controlling nature with other countries.
After this war ended on November 11, 1918, leaders from the countries made a treaty called the Treaty of Versailles. After this treaty was made, many things happened and the question in many people 's minds was how did this treaty cause WWII? The Treaty of Versailles helped cause WWII by treating Germany harshly in these three ways: Their army was reduced, they lost territory, and the number one reason is all of the blame Germany got. One way that the Treaty of Versailles treated Germany harshly was the way that it reduced their army. After the date of March 31, 1920, Germany wasn’t allowed to have over one hundred thousand soldiers in its army, (Doc B) Germany would more than likely be furious because what if they were attacked?
The third reason why Germany caused World War 1 is because Germany had the opportunity to start a war that would gain them land. Germany was an industrial powerhouse, and once again Document C shows that Germany had the most money to spend on armies and navies. With Germany spending approximately 115 million British pounds, exceeding Russia 's 90 million British points spent on armaments, it can be inferred that Germany took this opportunity to start a war. Germany knew that a war would help them gain land and remove their burden. Using Austria-Hungary 's war, Germany definitely had the opportunity to side with Austria-Hungary and obtain Russia to relieve their burden.
Since no side won or lost, Germany wanted another war they could win and get there money back that they lost in the first World
Germany, in turn, was looking for revenge and started WW2. However a permanent peace were the blame is shared, no blame is placed or placed with consent or negotiations as well as negotiated terms with oppressed can lead to a longer peace and smaller wars. The Paris Peace Treaty, the treaty that ended WW2, is a great example of this as another world war has not taken place. Nonetheless, human nature today is charged with conflict, which is
How far can Austria-Hungary be blamed for the outbreak of World War One? Many people throughout history believe that the cause of the First World War was mainly Austria-Hungary’s fault due to the fact that they declared war on both Serbia and Russia on July 28th, 1914 and issued an ultimatum to Serbia on July 14th. Or maybe they think it was Germany’s fault seeing as Germany declared war on France and proceeded to invade Belgium, thus getting Britain involved. The truth is that no individual country can be blamed 100% for the events that happened between 1914 and 1918, but Austria-Hungary played a pretty big part in the outbreak of war.
Which was 1 an agreement between France, Italy, Nazi Germany, and Britain. [Since] Germany invaded the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia, the British and French prime ministers tried to get Hitler to agree not to use his military in the future in return for the land he had taken. This act was unsuccessful as Hitler invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia, then this led Britain and France to declare World War II. Another cause of World War II was Fascism. Since the World War I left the economy a mess, countries were being taken over by dictators, as these dictators looked for new lands to conquer.
Despite the involvement of other nations, and nations that started the war (i.e. Austria declaring war on Serbia), Germany was the only country that was forced to take full blame of the war (“Timeline of World War One”). This is unfair to Germany, because
