How did nationalism, Imperialism, and militarism help set stage for world war 1?
361374
Nationalism....everyone had a heightend sense of pride in their own nation. It would be easier to bring up soliders for the "great war" since everyone believed their nation to be best and worth fighting for. Also like nations got into alliances and often these alliances got quite tangled and would eventually be seenas probably the one of the main causes for the war. Imperalism....the powers that be in Europe were all competing on the international level for resources, markets, and prestige. The highly hostile and competitive atmosphere because of conflicting interests helped add to a war climate. Militarism... since most of the main powers needed a strong military to be able to exert their imperial dominance, strong militaries were popular during the period. As one nation built up their arms, the others would follow suit in order to avoid the balance of power from tipping to far one way. Each of these causes helped build a foundation for war which was sparked because of the archdukes assination.

good project...I don't know all the answers to your questions but I bet if you googled it with the phrase\n*German Nationalism post WWII* you'd get a lot of info.\n(use the asterisk's to lock in the topic)

That is a huge question...It can be said to lead all the way back to the Treaty of Versailles ending WWI. \n\nTry this. It's concise. http://ehistory.osu.edu/wwii/timeline.cfm

A large part of the world wars (both) was the growth of the "fatherland" (der Vaterland), and the spread of the german way of life.  A big idea is "doing it for the people". There is also some of the idea of "they brought the fight to us" (by messing with us/ allies), even though that might not have been true (propaganda is about what you make people believe, after all).  Some of the later propaganda was also aimed at the Americans, trying to convince them to go home, that it wasn't their fight.\n\nYou can focus on the soldiers, but a lot of propaganda stayed at home telling the farmers/workers to keep up/ increase their production so the people/soldiers won't suffer, as well as the anti-propaganda against the other nations.

The event that triggered the start of World War I (called at the time "The Great War") was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, when he visited Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia on June 28, 1914 by  19-year old Gavrilo Princip. Princip appeared to be a member of a Serbian nationalist group. Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia and declared war. Russians supported the Serbians, and drew in their French allies. Germany was a close ally of Austria and declared war on France and Russia. To get past French defenses, Germany invaded Belgium and Luxeumbourg. This action caused the British to declare war on Germany.\n\nWhile the assassination was seen as the pretext that turned the struggle into all-out war, conflict at this level was seeded through the ongoing arms races between the European countries, and development of diplomatic alliances, and rise of European nationalism.

actually,  world war 1 began with the assassination of arch duke franz ferdinand of austria hungary.  germany had been itching to start a war with russia and austria hungary had been itching to start a war with serbia - russia and serbia were allies and germany and austria and hungary were allies.\n\nthe austrian/hungarians accused the serbians of plotting to kill the arch duke and attacked serbia.  russia joined the war against austria/hungary and germany joined the war on austria hungary's side.\n\nso at the beginning it was serbia and russia against germany and austria/hungary.\n\nfrance then joined because they were allies with russia and england joined because they thought it was wrong that germany and austria were attacking france through neutral belgium.\n\nthe united states of america joined the war in 1917 because germany was sinking us cargo ships heading for england.\n\nbut russia pulled out of the war in 1917 because of riots in the country and because the socialists took over the government.\n\nso before 1917 it was:  germany and austria/hungary versus:  britain, france, italy, russia and serbia\n\nfrom 1917 to 1918, when the war ended it was: the us, france, england, italy versus: germany and austria-hungary (serbia was defeated early on and knocked out of the war as was the case with russia)\n\nthe war was characterized by TRENCH WARFARE.  after germany had some incredible success at the beginning, both sides dug into long trenches and not much happened until the US entered the war.  by 1917 germany was falling apart economically and the american soldiers were helping to overrun german trenches.  germany surrendered on november 11, 1918.\n\nfor your report you can use this information but also include some major battles.\n\ngood luck.\n\ndan

Historians believe that there were several reasons for the outbreak of war during the summer of 1914.\n\n(a) The size of the British Empire; \n\n(b) The desire by Germany to have a larger empire than Britain; \n\n(c) The fear that Austro-Hungary had of Russia; \n\n(d) The fear that Russia had of Austro-Hungary;\n\n(e) The desire of France to regain the losses suffered during the war with Germany in 1870; \n\n(f) The formation of the Triple Alliance; \n\n(g) The formation of the Triple Entente; \n\n(h) The increasing size of the German Army; \n\n(i) The increasing size of the German Navy; \n\n(j) The increasing size of the Royal Navy;\n\n(k) The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand;\n\n(l) The way that Austro-Hungary and Germany treated Serbia after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand;\n\n(m) The way that Russia reacted to the way that Austro-Hungary and Germany treated Serbia after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand;\n___________________________________________________________\n\nI have inserted links to useful pages at www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk - which is an awesome history website aimed at school kids.

which world war? there was two. if it was world war I then ok; world war 1 started on 1914, ended in 1918. June 28, 1914, reason why? Archduke Franz Ferdinand (of Austria) was assassinated by a team of \nSerbian nationalists while he was in Sarajevo to assert\nAustrian imperial authority over Bosnia, a Slavic territory.\n\nThis assassination triggered the cascade of events that quickly produced war world 1, which were fought by; 2 sides \n\nThe Allied Powers\n-\n led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia , and, after 1917, the United States entered war.\n\nthe Central Powers (this side lost) \n-\nled by the German Empire,Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire (aka turkey dinasty.) \nThis is how it went;\nArchduke Franz Ferdinand was assesinated by a group of serbian nationalist while trying to assert austrias control of bosnia.\nAustria extremely mad about this, backed by Berlin, attacked Serbia on July 29 in retaliation, and Germany (a big austrian backer at that time, which secretly wanted a bigger presence in europe) invaded Belgium on August 3. Thus, the war commenced; also Germany and Austria-Hungary are seen as the initial aggressors, and thus, responsible for the outbreak of war world 1. Germany was assigned the guilt although, it was humiliated in 1920 by The War Guilt clause, or Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles/Treaty of Trianon, (proclaimed as the initial AGGRESORS) and required to pay war reparations and all future costs, such as pensions for all the Allied veterans. these payments were stopped however by hitler in 1933, the same year he became chancellor (not fuhrer yet). this war ended in 1918 shortly after the U.S joined-in, in 1917, and the Allied powers defeated the central.\n-\nnow world war II;\ntook place between 1939 and 1945. it IS to this day the biggest, largest and deadliest war ever seen.\nJapan had been fighting china for many years, but the "world" war is said to have begun on September 1, 1939 when as you know Germany with the soviet union (through a secret war pact before the war.) invaded Poland.  two days later france and britain declared war on germany. The "allies" (Poland, British Commonwealth, France) left battles strictly in poland untill May, 1940 Germany invaded Western Europe, taking on the British and French militaries. Six weeks later, france surrendered to germa. \n3months later, Germ, Italy,& Jap signed a mutual defense agreement, Tripartite Pact, and were known as the Axis Powers. soviet union got into the war, when germany double-crossed them and invaded soviet land. forcing unwillingly the soviets to the allied camp. In December 1941, Japan attacked the United States (pearl harbor) bringing it too into the war on the Allied side. japan was on axis powers side (nazi side) after these events china instantly joined the allied side, as most of the rest of the world after  1940\nin 1942 Britain, USA, USSR, were fighting Germany and Italy; and all allies (except USSR) were fighting Japan. From then through August 1945, battles raged across all of Europe, in the North Atlantic Ocean, across North Africa, throughout Southeast Asia, throughout China, across the Pacific Ocean and, by air, in Japan.\nItaly surrendered in September 1943, Germany in May 1945. The surrender of Japan marked the end of the war, on September 2, 1945.\nHitler killed himself, along with his wife Eva braun (who he married few days before) and his 2 dogs on April 30, 1945 in a underground bunker there bodies were incinerated by servants by request; because of hitlers fear that what happend to mussolini (hanged by his toes) they would also do to his corpse.\nnote an estimated 60 million people died in this war estimates vary; About 64% of all casualties were civilians.\n3 million of them were polish jews, and 2 million polish "gentiles"

Just read this:  http://www.firstworldwar.com/origins/causes.htm\n\nThe war started out as a dispute between Austria-Hungary and Serbia over the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, but escalated as other countries entered the melee.\n\nHistory can fault Germany because they lost.

I can tell you it went from 1914-1918, not the years you said.\n\nHere's a big article all about it.  Next time go to Wikipedia.org before you come to Yahoo Answers.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I\n\nAt the time, world politics was dominated by five or six Great Powers, each of them a country in Europe with colonial possessions in other parts of the world.  They each went behind each other's backs a lot to make alliances, promising to join in if their ally was attacked.  It was a very unstable situation, because a squabble over something minor could suddenly spiral into a giant worldwide confrontation as each side called in more and more allies.  This is exactly what happened.  The event that triggered it all was the assasination of the man next in line for the Austrian throne; he was shot by a Serbian who thought Serbia should be its own country and not part of the Austrian empire.  Serbia is in the Balkans, the same area as the territory covered by the former Yugoslavia, and that's why others have said "the Balkans was a powder keg."\n\nOnce all the alliances had kicked in, both sides discovered that their new war technologies were good for killing a lot of people but not good for gaining territory or gaining a decisive advantage over your opponent. Much of the war was a long bloody stalemate.\n\nThere's obviously a lot more, but you'll have to get it from the Wikipedia article.

We felt that we placed enough safegaurds in the Treaty of Vesailles to keep there from ever being another war ever to be fought.  World War I or the Great War was the war to end all wars.  We placed strict limitaions as to the size and weaponry that the German Armed Forces would have to remain under, they were not allowed an Air Force or anything but Defensive Weapons.  We also created the League of Nations to be able to resolve differences between countries before a war broke out.  World War I was fought with new weaponry, yet they tried to fight it as an old style war.  Chemical weapons were used in the form of Mustard Gas and sometimes after the release of it the wind would shift and it didn't go where planned.  The war on the Western Front ended up being fought in trenches and the headway was often measured in feet and yards rather than miles.  It was also the first time that the Airplane made it's entrance to a war as a substantial weapon.  The technology of things had grown faster at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries than man had ever known before.  World War I had motor driven vehicles, airplanes, machine guns, repeating arms, heavy artilery.  Yet it was a war they tried to fight from the back of a horse.  It did not work and new methods had to be thought out as the war progressed.\n\nAll of this leads up to the failure of collective security.  Many people felt that WWI was the last great war to be fought that technology had grown so fast that fighting war had become inhumane and that as a collective society we would just not let it happen again.  It might have been so except the U.S. Senate never ratified the Treaty of Versailles and we never entered the League of Nations.  America went right back into it's Isolationist Stage once  again and left Europe to the Europeans.  Germany's people were very upset about what they had to give up at the end of the war and then the economy went through the floor.  Along come Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party which is telling the German People that they have been robbed and that the Germanic People's should all be united once again.  This of course is what the German's wanted to hear.  The problem with uniting all the Germanic People was that they were spread out in different bordering countries.  In 1938 with out firing one shot the German's annexed  Austria and Chekoslovokia in a peaceful settlement negotiated by Neville Chamberlain Prime Minister of Great Britian, who stated "there will be peace in our time".\n\nWe had tried to set up boundries and limitations that would keep this from ever succeeding in this world at the end of World War I, yet not all of the parties would take responsibility for seeing it through.  I am not saying the U.S. participation in the League Of Nations would have made a difference, other countries turned their back as to what was happening besides the Americans.   People actually believed the retoric that there would be no more wars.  When we allowed the Annexation of 1938 we sent a clear message to Hitler that we were not going to put up much of a fuss and that Europe was his for the taking.  Germany was not allowed an Air Force, so she had flying clubs that flew warplanes on the week-ends, Nazi Youth were trained to be added to the Military when needed, we knew all about these things, but in the name of peace we collectively did nothing to stop it.  When World War II started on September 1, 1939 it took almost 6 full years to put a stop to the machine that should have never been allowed to be built.
