World War I (1914-1918)
• World War I (1914-1918) was caused by competition among industrial nations in Europe and a failure of diplomacy. The war transformed European and American life, wrecked the economies of Europe, and planted the seeds for a second world war.

Alliances
• The alliance system in Europe started with Prussia
• Prussia wanted to unite the German states into a German nation
• Germany united (allied) with Austria-Hungary and Italy
• France and Germany were enemies and so France allied with Russia
![Page 5: World War I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816562550346895dd7e7f8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Alliances
• Great Britain remained neutral until Germany started to build up its navy
• Great Britain loosely allied with France and Russia forming the Triple Entente
• Nationalism – intense pride for one’s homeland was a powerful idea in Europe
• Self-determination – the idea that people who belong to a nation should have their own country and government, was a basic idea of nationalism
![Page 7: World War I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816562550346895dd7e7f8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“Balkan Powder Keg”• In the Balkans, many ethnic
groups fought to gain political unity and self-rule
• This led to conflicts between Austria-Hungry and neighboring groups in the Balkan regions– Russia supports “Serbs/Slavs”
• This will end up being the “straw that breaks the camel back”– Assassination of
Archduke Ferdinand
![Page 8: World War I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816562550346895dd7e7f8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Alliances
• A small country called Serbia, allied with Russia, wanted a unified Balkan nation
• A Serb national assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand
• This assassination forced Austria-Hungary to declare war with Germany siding with them
• Russia, allied with Serbia, declared war with France siding with them (France wanted Germany defeated)

What is Militarism?• A rise in military expenditure, • Increase in the size of land military and naval forces • More influence of the military men upon the policies
of the civilian government,
• But note that militarism is also a government's attitude of mind, seeing war as a valid means of foreign policy. – (GERMANY was especially militaristic.)– Think of Otto Von Bismarck and Realpolitik

Introduction►World War I was over. The killing had stopped. The
terms of peace, however, still had to be worked out. On January 18, 1919, a conference to establish those terms began at the Palace of Versailles, outside Paris. Attending the talks, known as the Paris Peace Conference, were delegates representing 32 countries. For one year, this conference would be the scene of vigorous, often bitter debate. The Allied powers struggled to solve their conflicting aims in various peace treaties.

1917 Revolution and Rise of Communism
• Tsarist Russia entered World War I as an absolute monarchy with sharp class divisions between the nobility and the peasants. The grievances of workers and peasants were not resolved by the Tsar. Inadequate administration in World War I led to revolution and an unsuccessful provisional government. A second revolution by the Bolsheviks created the communist state that ultimately became the U.S.S.R.
![Page 43: World War I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816562550346895dd7e7f8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Questions
• Why did Russia erupt in revolution while fighting in World War I?
• How did communism rise in Russia?
![Page 44: World War I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816562550346895dd7e7f8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Causes of 1917 Revolutions
• Defeat in war with Japan in 1905• Landless peasantry• Incompetence of Tsar Nicholas II• Military defeats and high casualties in World
War I.
![Page 45: World War I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816562550346895dd7e7f8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Russian Revolution
– Czar Nicholas II’s reforms were too little too late– No industrial power = no national power– Loss to the Japanese was humiliating
announcement of weakness– WWI participation sucked Russia dry and made
civil war inevitable – Weak resistance to well organized and mobilized
Bolshevik radicals– Total abdication and assassination end the
Romanov Dynasty
![Page 46: World War I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816562550346895dd7e7f8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Rise of communism
• Bolshevik Revolution and civil war• Vladimir Lenin’s New Economic Policy (NEP)• Joseph Stalin, Lenin’s successor• According to communism, history is dominated
by the struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat – the upper class and the laborer.
• Karl Marx, a German economist/philosopher is credited with the idea of communism.

Understanding the League of Nations and the mandate system
• After World War I, international organizations and agreements were established to avoid future conflicts.
• What was the League of Nations and why did it fail?
• Why was the mandate system created?
![Page 50: World War I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816562550346895dd7e7f8/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
League of Nations
• International cooperative organization• Established to prevent future wars • United States not a member• Failure of League because it did not have
power to enforce its decisions
![Page 51: World War I](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56816562550346895dd7e7f8/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
The mandate system• During World War I, Great Britain and France agreed to
divide large portions of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East between themselves.
• After the war, the “mandate system” gave Great Britain and France control over the lands that became Iraq, Transjordan, and Palestine (British controlled) and Syria and Lebanon (French controlled)
• The division of the Ottoman Empire through the mandate system planted the seeds for future conflicts in the Middle East.

“A Peace Built on Quicksand”►Treaty of Versailles creates feelings of bitterness on
both sides►German people feel bitter and betrayed after taking
blame for war►America never ratifies Treaty of Versailles– Many Americans oppose League of Nations and
involvement with Europe►Some former colonies express anger over not
winning independence►Japan, Italy criticize agreement; gain less land than
they want
