In 1914, the world was in a situation where even a small conflict could potentially cause war to break out and spread, much like a spark in a dry forest.
The following list describes some of the conditions that “set the stage” for war. After reading a passage about how the war began, decide as a group which of the following conditions were the strongest influence in the outbreak and spread of the war.
Rate the conditions from 1 to 7, with the Most Dangerous as #1, to the Least Dangerous as #7, and record the reasons for your choices.
|Condition |Rating |Reason |
|Many people believed that the more land, sea, and trade their country | | |
|controlled, the greater their nation. There was a build-up of tension as | | |
|countries competed for more control and power in the world. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|For many people in many countries, there were extreme feelings of | | |
|nationalism (pride for their country and a belief in its superiority over| | |
|others). Many believed that the good of their country was more important | | |
|than the good of the world or of other countries. | | |
|Many countries had built up arsenals of weapons, and had large armies, | | |
|navies, and air forces to compete for control of the sea, the air, and | | |
|the land. | | |

|Condition |Rating |Reason |
|Many people in the strongest countries believed in imperialism. They | | |
|wanted to expand their territory to take control of other countries, to | | |
|turn them into colonies that depended on them as a “motherland.” | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|The countries of Europe were divided into two large groups: | | |
|1) Central Powers: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and allies | | |
|2) Allied Powers: Great Britain, France, Russia, and allies | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|Many countries had partnership agreements or military alliances, | | |
|promising to support and help each other if they were attacked by another| | |
|country. Smaller countries, less able to defend themselves, often had a | | |
|promise of protection from a larger nation. | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|The leaders of many governments at that time believed that the sign of a | | |
|nation’s greatness was its military strength, or “war power.” | | |
