S- System of alliances- countries form bonds and agreements to support and help each other when they need it
Central powers- Germany, austria-hungry, bulgaria, turkey
Allied powers- good guys- great britian, france, italy, russia(until 1917, dropped out to fight the bolshevik revolution) US (in 1917) servia
Alliances was a cause to the war because if your trusting some countries then your distrusting other countries
Nationalism- EX. hitler- wanted Germany to be the best
Austria and hungary was crumbling from the inside out because there wasn't any nationalism- everyone was nationalistic to there own ethnic group within the country. there were many different ethnic groups.
austria and hungary each had there own king- many different languages, religion, and customs.
the government despised serbians and serbia " the serbian menace"
Black hand- goal to unite all serbs by any means nessacary.
spark for war- archduke franz ferinand was assisinated.
Assination of archduke
