Why did World War I start? 

World War I started because long-term tensions in Europe built up over time, and then one trigger event caused everything to explode into war.

The 4 main causes (easy to remember: M.A.I.N.)

1. Militarism

• Countries built huge armies and weapons
• Everyone was ready for war and expected it 

2. Alliances

• Countries made agreements to defend each other
• If one country went to war, others were pulled in → like a domino effect

3. Imperialism

• Countries competed for land, power, and colonies
• This created rivalry and tension 

4. Nationalism

• Strong pride in one’s country
• Led to competition and conflict (especially in the Balkans) 

The Spark (Immediate Cause)

• In 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated by a Serbian nationalistAustria-Hungary blamed Serbia and declared war
• Because of alliances, many countries were quickly dragged into the conflict
