Great War

The Great War, otherwise known as World War I, was caused by many factors. Tensions to show their power rose between Britain and Germany. The previous scramble to obtain African territory left bad blood in between European countries and left allies. European countries attempted to stabilize themselves and created two huge allies, trying to hold the government together and prevent oncoming war. Austrians' struggle for land and power after Archduke Fernidand was assassinated lead to the picking of sides and created even more tension for independence in certain areas. The lack of strong leaders and absence of clear land borders made Europe go against one another, resulting in the Great War.

  1. I like how you give an example of tensions in the past and why that could/would affect later decisions. Good job on giving all that went into the war in order and reasons behind it and what it later led to.
