The July Crisis (10A - 2022) by Max Lazar https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq I have pre-assigned slots for each of you in chronological order (both of the reading and of history); the first step is to find your place on the timeline. Then, read through your assigned section of the July Crisis 1914 article from the International Encyclopedia of the First World War (you can search for your name in the document). Add information into the timeline based on the information in your section. You should decide, based on what you read, whether to put all the material in one post, or whether to create multiple posts on the timeline for clarity. If there is a clear date (or span of dates), that should be the title. If there isn't, then the post title should summarize the theme. In the text of your post, write a clear description of the key events, themes, and ideas at play. Then choose an image that applies to your post (you can get to Google Images directly through the Edit button). After you are done with your post(s), read the conclusion of the article. If you are confused about any of the material in your paragraph, move up a paragraph for additional context, or reach out to the student working on the earlier paragraph. When the timeline is complete (I'll send out an email), you should look over the whole thing and then answer the reflection questions in the attached Google Doc. en-us 2022-05-14 16:41:10 UTC 2025-11-11 03:47:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f1fa-1f1f3.png June 28, 1914 maxlazar2 https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2183969794 Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand]]> 2022-05-14 16:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2183969794 28 July maxlazar2 https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2183969818 - Austria declared war on Serbia

(Amitai) https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188132732 - There was a question at this point on where Britain would side
- They could either side with France and Russia in the Triple Entente, or back out and remain neutral.
- In order to attempt to de-escalate, Britain refrained from announcing their decision until the last second, but eventually sided with the Triple Entente.]]> 2022-05-17 18:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188132732 Eva Ungar- July 25 to 26 https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188134053 Measures for a partial mobilisation of four districts and then put into force.]]> 2022-05-17 18:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188134053 Ariel Blank --- July 2 - How will the Dual Monarchy’s ally, Germany, react to any potential move against Serbia? https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188136585  - German ambassador did not want to go to war with countries like Serbia which went against the wishes of Austria-Hungary
 - Kaiser Wilhelm II was angry that Germany was trying to advise Austria on their war strategies because Wilhelm wanted Austria to be independent
 - Kaiser Wilhelm II wanted revenge for the death of his friend (the Archduke) which is why he wanted to go to war so badly]]> 2022-05-17 18:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188136585 July 7 - Austria-Hungary proposes an Ultimatum zacharygindichiafullo20241 https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188137133 -Berlin’s promise of support enabled the Viennese government to plan its next steps against Serbia
-Austria-Hungary hoped for a limited war against Serbia and that strong German support would force Russia to keep out of the war and weaken its Balkan prestige.
-Logical Result:  "would be to get in advance of our foes and by a timely reckoning with Serbia to stop the develop­ment of the process at present going on, which we would not be able to do later.”]]> 2022-05-17 18:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188137133 Eva Ungar https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188137944 The Russian government supports Britain’s mediation proposals in addition to encouraging the British to decide if they would become involved in a potential war on the side of the Franco-Russian alliance.]]> 2022-05-17 18:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188137944 ruby- Austria's Ultimatum to Serbia https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188140687 Austria blamed Serbia for the casualties. Serbia is then given an offer and it was the annual time for soldiers to leave home. There were many conversations discussing when to introduce the ultimatum, which interfered with Russia and France's leaders trying to return home. ]]> 2022-05-17 18:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188140687 Reagan White - Serbia's support of the assassination https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188140936 Prime Minister Nikola Pašić (Serbia) used Russia's support as an "excuse" in order to decline Austria's ultimatum for their military. However, one of the real reasons were because its conditions did not align with Serbia's values in addition to making them seem weaker than they were. This acceptance could have allowed Austria with inside access to the "Black Hand" (the people behind the assassination) while also showing that Serbia had knew of the assassination prior to it (and did nothing to prevent it). ]]> 2022-05-17 18:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188140936 Ben- France, Russia, and Britain determined that Austria-Hungary was trying and start a war and that they would need to work their hardest to contain war.

He left with a so called "blank check" from the Germans which unofficially said that the Germans would support the Austro-Hungarian empire unconditionally even if war broke out. All in all, Hoyos leaves with a strong alliance. ]]> 2022-05-17 18:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188149427 Russia's Strength -J Hizzy https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188150657 Other countries like Britain and France felt Germany could defeat Russia at this point in time as they had not yet risen to the strength they would reach after this point. With that said though none of the countries could abandon Russia for fear that they would grow in power and strength.]]> 2022-05-17 18:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188150657 Baron Giesl https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188152771 Baron Giesl wrote the ultimatum, and 48 hours after, he and the rest of the Austrian delegation quickly left Belgrade. Serbia didn't agree to these terms and it caused chaos.

They were on Serbia's side. 
-Were they to blame because they anticipated something would happen but didn't do anything to try and stop it
-France was in a tough position as they wanted to Russia that Paris could be on their side while they needed to appeal in Britain's favor, this effected their military plans
-It shouldn’t seem that would be responsible for the aggressive actions taken because these actions had to be postponed until a reliable source confirmed that the German troops were on the move]]> 2022-05-17 19:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2188213877 The Blank Cheque https://padlet.com/maxlazar2/ohvv7dfmaoncyplq/wish/2189889707 The Blank Cheque was the idea that Germany would unconditionally support Austria post assassination.
