Alliance System
• Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary & Italy)– Germany’s goal was to isolate France– Italy was mad at France for their occupation of
Tunisia– Austria-Hungary’s expansion into the Balkan’s
conflicted w/ Russia’s ambitions– Weakness was Italy’s desire to regain Italian-
inhabited Austrian territories

Alliance System Cont…
• Triple Entente (France, Russia & Britain)– France wanted to regain European leadership and gain back
provinces from Germany
– After Bismarck was out of power Germany did not want to renew its treaty with Russia so France stepped in and provided military and industrial loans.
– Britain was seen as an industrial and colonial superpower they still feared Germany’s growing navy.
– Although France and Britain clashed over territory in Africa they came to a peaceful agreement and in 1907 completed the Triple Entente.

Nationalism
• Strong nationalist movements and revolutions led to the unification of Italy in 1861 and that of Germany in 1871.
• France was left seething over the loss of Alsace-Lorraine and Revanche to Germany in the Franco Prussian War.
• Nationalism posed a problem for Austria-Hungary and the Balkans, areas comprised of many conflicting national groups.

Imperialism• Great Britain, Germany and France needed foreign
markets after the increase in manufacturing caused by the Industrial Revolution.
• Several crises foreshadowing the war involved the clash of Germany against Britain and France in North Africa.
• In the Middle East, the crumbling Ottoman Empire was alluring to Austria-Hungary, the Balkans and Russia.

Militarism
• Another cause of the war was similar to the arms race of today and the cold war.
• Britain had a big navy and Germany wanted the same.
• France and Germany were both increasing military size.

Ferdinand Cont…Eyewitness Account
The road to maneuvers was shaped like the letter V, making a sharp turn at the bridge over the River Nilgacka. Franz Ferdinand's car could go fast enough until it reached this spot but here it was forced to slow down for the turn. Here Princip had taken his stand. As the car came abreast he stepped forward from the curb, drew his automatic pistol from his coat and fired two shots. The first struck the wife of the Archduke, the Archduchess Sofia, in the abdomen. She was an expectant mother. She died instantly.
The second bullet struck the Archduke close to the heart.He uttered only one word; Sofia - a call to his stricken wife. Then his head fell back and he collapsed. He died almost instantly. The officers seized Princip. They beat him over the head with the flat of their swords. They knocked him down; they kicked him, tortured him, and all but killed him. He was then taken to the Sarajevo gaol (jail).
