In the graph, Growth of Armaments, An arms build up might have lead to peace because most countries would have strong armies. From 1890 to 1914 each country shown was putting more money unto their armies and miliaries. They would think twice before starting a war since it would cause a lot of damage and cost a lot of lives. Usually wars are agreed upon if a country believes it can win. If two powerful countries are in an argument, they might refrain from war to be smart.

In a speech written by Bernhard von Bülow, he spoke his mind on the control that England, France, and Russia had. The three nations began to conquer a lot of land sparked fear that Germany would be aggressive in the future. (Doc D). This fear of aggressive behavior through impearlism was an underlying cause of the war.

In the graph titled, Growth of Armaments, the statistics exemplify the great increase in weapons and its overall correlation to the growth of violence. For example, as tensions increased leading up to the war, the prevalence of artillery became greater in countries such as Great Britain; there was about a 40 million dollar increase in artillery expenses between 1890 and 1914(doc C). Therefore, it is apparent that the steady growth of armaments in countries, known as militarism, caused an appreciable rise in tensions, and essentially, was a significant underlying cause of the war.

Alliances were a underlying cause of world war. There was 2 Alliances, triple alliance and the tripe entente. (Doc A)  The alliances caused tension in Europe, as an example. Serbia wanted to unite bosnia and serbia however Austria did not  want this to happen. So Austria prepared to go to war with Serbia. In doc A, you can see how close the nations are to each other and how a war would be bad in such area. However, if Austria declares war with Serbia. Serbia is in Alliance with Russian. So this would be a war of both alliances causing a world war.

The chart represents growth of armaments from 1890 to 1914. Originally, the countries had similar expenses, but as time went by, in 1914, the expenses varied greatly. Germany grew to become the country that invested the most in armaments (Doc C). Germany gathered coinfidence to declare war after 115 million pounds invested in both on both the navy and military.

The Growth in Armaments charts shows that an arms build up can lead to peace because if a nation sees that another nation has prepared a very strong army or navy they would either like to have an alliance with them  or not fight them in war. (Doc C)

If this was the only evidence , a map of the 1914 European alliances , you would be able to discribe the alliances between all their countries. If one country went to war, it would have their allianced counties go to war with them making more countries go to war with each other. This would end up having 6 major countries (3 against the other 3) to war ending up in world war 1. (Doc A)

In an alliance map of Europe in 1914 it shows all of the nations divided. Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy were on one side and Russia, Britain, and France were on the other. (Doc A) Alliances were the most important part of the war because if one alliance member turned on another then the war would expand.

The German Cartoon that shows England traveling to different parts of the world. You can see that Great Britain is traveling the world depriving it of its resources in different areas (Doc E). This gives a reason for Germany to fear Great Britain because Great Britain can discover new technology that can help them win the war.

A chart that displays the Growth in Armaments during 1980-1914 shows Germany’s armaments during the 1980s were really low compared to 1914 when Germany has the largest amount of armaments (Doc C). This proves militarism can lead to the idea of war.

In the alliance map of Europe in 1914, alliances show how the World War was set off. The two main alliance systems were made of the big powers. If one country went into war due to all the alliances the other surrounding countries would be dragged into the war.

This is a map of the alliances in Europe, These alliances include the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. The map shows that there are two points that Germany can be attacked from. If Austria-Hungary comes to save Germany then this would show how Alliances work. This proves that alliances are an important underlying cause of the war.

Germany grew to become the country that invested most in armaments, mostly military(Doc C). This contributed to Germany being able to gather the confidence to declare war after spending 115 million pounds on both the military and navy.

This is a map showing the alliances during World War 1. This shows that there were two large alliances that consisted of many rivaling European superpowers (Doc A). If it were not for these alliances, the war would not have been as big and as destructive for all the countries involved.

In a speech spoken before the Reichstag  in 1899. It shows that militarism was the cause for ww1. This is shown by a quote in the speech “in the coming century the German people will be a hammer or an anvil” meaning they will mold the world or be molded. Proving that militarism is the cause for WW1.(Doc D)

The crime of the ages cartoon shows the disruption of peace in Europe. Each country is pointing at eachother  as if to say that they themselves weren’t responsible and the other countries were (doc B). Backed by imperialism each country scrambled for land and power, therefore causing havoc in Europe.

In the cartoon of “The Crime of the Ages” it shows countries pointing fingers at eachother and placing the blame on one another about who destroyed the peace in Europe. In the picture, Russia and Germany are pointing fingers at eachother because they are allies, (doc B). This proves that the cause of World War I was alliances because each country was blaming another from the opposite alliance which later leads to more problems.

This argument saying that arms build up might lead to peace is false. In this case just because Germany has the biggest navy (doc c) doesn’t mean that it will create peace. The battle for who ever has the best and biggest might actually create more tension between the rivaling “allies” which would leave to war...

This chart shows a growth of armaments from the years 1890 to 1914. Militarism generally increased over these years, but Germany’s army increased the most in this time span (Doc C). Because of their massive increase in military forces, Germany said that they would go to war alongside Austria-Hungary to help them out in boosting their militarism.

In Doc C, the chart shows the gradual growth of armaments from 1890 to 1914. In the chart, the increase of armaments was at its highest in 1914 for all countries.  Germany's decision to contribute to the war was because of how strong they felt and how confident they were in their military (Doc C). Militarism was one cause of World War 1 because countries fought for superiority through powerful forces. Because of the increase in their navy and army, this was able to spark anger and belief in their country to fight back.

Von Bülow’s speech before the Reichstag explains the importance of Germany adapting and creating a larger military in order to defend their country. Von Bülow explains that, “we don’t want our own feet tramped by any foreign power” (Doc D). He also proclaims, “there is no welfare for us without power, without a strong army and strong fleet”(Doc D). Von Bülow’s arguments explain Germany’s increase in military spending because the Germans are becoming increasingly nervous of the rising world powers surrounding them such as France, Russia and Great Britian. Germany’s belief of survival of the fittest resulted in their militarianism, which also justifies the idea that militarianism was an underlying cause of World War 1 because other nations followed suit by expanding their militaries as well.

According to the cartoon "The Crime of the Ages" written in 1914 shows the peace of Europe dead and all the countries blaming eachother. Evidence is the peace of Europe dead on a table with a dagger or knife in her. This proves my argument that alliances caused enforced the war because with alliances they wanted to "help" eachother with the war but it was really deteriorating the amount of money they had and how many men they had.
