Nationalism is a strong feeling of devotion to one's country.  It caused tensions between Germany, Austria-Hungary, Great Britain, Russia, Italy and France.  Territorial disputes and economic conflict both contributed to this division.  Russia and Austria-Hungary tried to dominate Balkans.  

Imperialism and Militarism:
Europe started to become militaristic, which is glorifying and prioritizing the military.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate. Germany developed the Schlieffen Plan to defeat France in the west then Russia in the East. The Germans were defeated by Allies in Paris and had to retreat. Armies began to use trench warfare, where armies dug trenches to fight from. New weapons of war, such as poison gas, tanks, artillery, and machine guns made the war even deadlier. ]]> 2019-01-14 20:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/318773/9zew2z280omm/wish/320529367 318773 https://padlet.com/318773/9zew2z280omm/wish/320529980 The Gallipoli Campaign:
A strategy for the Allies to attack the Dardanelles in the Ottoman Empire. Dardanelles had a straight run to Constantinople. Allies thought they could establish a supply line to Russia.  Battle turned into a stalemate and Allies had to eventually retreat, losing about 250,000 men. 

Battles in Africa and Asia:
Japanese overran the German forces in China. British and French recruited in Africa and Asia.  

America Joins the Fight:
Focus of war had shifted to high seas.  Germans were sinking any ship without warning around British waters. Germans agreed not to sink passenger ships, but continued to do so, hoping to starve Britain before U.S. could mobilize. The U.S. declared war on Germany on April 2, 1917]]> 2019-01-14 20:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/318773/9zew2z280omm/wish/320529980 318773 https://padlet.com/318773/9zew2z280omm/wish/320530851 Woodrow Wilson: President of the U.S.  Part of The Big Four to decide what was best for peace.  He  created a series of peace proposals called the Fourteen Points.
Georges Clemenceau:  He was the representative for France and part of the Big Four to decide what was best for peace.

Wilson's Plan for Peace:  Woodrow had created a plan.  He wrote a series of documents that explained a plan for a just and lasting peace.  Those documents were called the Fourteen Points. 

Fourteen Points:
The first 4 spoke of an end of secret treaties, freedom of the seas, free trade and reduced armies and navies.  The 5th spoke of adjusting colonial claims with fairness towards colonial people.  The 6th through 13th points spoke of suggestions for borders and creating new nations.  The 14th point spoke of a general association of nations that would protect big and small states alike. 
Self-Determination:
The concept of letting people decide for themselves about what government they wished to live under. 

The Versailles Treaty:
Britain and France showed little support to Wilson's idea of peace, being concerned with national security and stripping Germany of their war-making power. The Treaty of Versailles was created between Germany and the Allies on June 28, 1919. This treaty told Germany to repay all of the damages that they had caused and they lost substantial territory and had severe military restrictions placed. ]]> 2019-01-14 20:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/318773/9zew2z280omm/wish/320530851
