World War I 19____ - 19____
AKA “The _______ to _______ all
__________” and
“The _____________
_______”
World War I was an extremely bloody,
complicated conflict that eventually involved countries from all over the
world.
The
assassination of Arch Duke Franz and Arch Duchess Sophie Ferdinand of
_______________ was the inciting incident of World War I. However it is far from the only cause of the
war.
Historians often use the acronym
M.A.I.N. to summarize the complex web of causes leading to WW I.
M____________________________ (arms race, race to
control the seas, assumption there will always
be a next war)
A____________________________ (distrust of different,
old allies and enemies, military alliances and pacts)
I_____________________________ (colonialism, race to
control the seas, race to control resources)
N____________________________ (fear of different, prejudices,
feelings of superiority)
Nationalism does not equal patriotism
– you can love your country and be proud of your country without thinking your
country is better than the rest of the world and therefor entitled to rob or
invade other countries.
Because so many of the European
powers at the heart of WW I had colonies and territories all over the world,
eventually 32 countries were involved.
The main battles and focus of the conflict were in Europe, called “The
Western Front” and “The Eastern Front”. The two sides were:
The Allies –
Central Powers
–
Special case: Italy, at the beginning of the war, was
part of a three-way alliance with the Central Powers (Triple Alliance). However, they *sort of* became “neutral”
instead of joining the war. THEN, when they saw the Allies were clearly going
to win, they made a secret deal with Great Britain and France to support the
Allies.
As a result of many of the
revolutions we studied, especially the scientific and industrial, WW I was
incredibly deadly. People became
efficient at killing each other. List some of the major advancements in
military tactics and machinery first used in WW I.
