Nationalism is a deep devotion to one's nation, and while it can cause unity in a nation, it can also cause competitiveness. Rivalry between countries was caused by things such as competitions for materials and resources. Fights over territory also resulted in rivalry.

Imperialism and Militarism:
When searching for colonies, encouraged by imperialism, caused a deep feeling of mistrust and could bring countries to the brink of war. Soon, the belief that power comes from a powerful army spread. Most of the Great Powers (except Britain) had armies ready to mobilize.

Militarism: The policy of glorifying military power and keeping and army prepared for war.]]> 2019-01-15 18:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/2500231/xf2lp84rtey6/wish/320927004 2500231 https://padlet.com/2500231/xf2lp84rtey6/wish/320928626 Nations take Sides:
Austria's declaration of war was what set things off, but when Russia began to mobilize in preparation, Germany took this as a sign of war. They officially declared war against Russia on August 1st.

When troops marched off into battle, most were convinced that the war would be short. They were wrong, and Sir Edward Gray predicted that they would not see peace in their lifetime.

Trench warfare was developed when soldiers dug trenches as protection from enemy fire. It was miserable and resulted the loss of so many lives for a small amount of gain. Developed weapons predicted to speed up war just made it more violent and bloody.

Central Powers: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire
Allies: Great Britain, France, Russia, Japan, Italy]]> 2019-01-15 18:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2500231/xf2lp84rtey6/wish/320928626 2500231 https://padlet.com/2500231/xf2lp84rtey6/wish/320928721 The Gallipoli Campaign:
The war soon grew out of Europe, in an attempt to stop it. New allies and battle grounds did little to stop the war. 
The allies saw a promising tactic in targeting an area in the Ottoman Empire; the Dardanelles. By making it theirs, they believed they could take Constantinople and create a supply line to Russia.
The fight to take it (known as the Gallipoli Campaign) was an unsuccessful stalemate the Allies lost, with casualties reaching 250,000 men.

Battles in Africa and Asia: 
German colonies came under attack in parts of Africa and Asia. Japan overtook German outposts in China and their Pacific island colonies. England and France both attacked the four colonies Germany had in Africa, taking control of three.
Countries enlisted people from their colonies to fight in the war for them. Some didn't want to fight for their European colonizers, but others hoped it would lead to freedom for their country.

America Joins the Fight: 
Despite an agreement with America to not use unrestricted submarine warfare (that destroyed even peaceful passenger ships), Germany still used this tactic for an advantage against Britain. They sank three more US ships, and offered to help Mexico re-conquer the land it had lost to the US in exchange for being allies. 
This was the last straw, and encouraged America into war on Germany. They joined on the Allies side.]]> 2019-01-15 18:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/2500231/xf2lp84rtey6/wish/320928721 2500231 https://padlet.com/2500231/xf2lp84rtey6/wish/320928958 Woodrow Wilson: Part of the Big Four of a meeting, he is a representative of the US
Georges Clemenceau:
Another part of the Big Four, he represented France in the meeting

Wilson's Plan for Peace:
While the war was still going in January of 1918, President Wilson had many proposals of peace planned out, outlining a plan for a peace that would last. All of the points were guided by the idea of self-determination.
Four points included: Ending secret treaties, freedom of the seas, free trade, and reduced national armies and navies.
Point five was the adjustment of colonial claims with fairness to people in the colonies.
Six through thirteen outlined specific suggestions for border changes and the creation of new nations.
Fourteen proposed a "general association of nations" that would protect all nations no matter the size.

Fourteen Points: A series of peace proposals made by President Wilson
self-determination: Allowing people to decide for themselves, such as what government they would want

The Versailles Treaty: 
Britain and France did not agree with Wilson's vision of peace. This was because they were concerned about national security, as well as their desire to strip Germany of war-starting power.
The three nations argued because of how different their motivations were. Soon, however, they came to a compromise in the form of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany and the Allied powers signed this treaty June 28, 1919 after five years of war after Franz Ferdinand was assassination.
The League of Nations was formed from the adoption of Wilson's fourteenth point. It is an international association which aimed to keep peace between nations.
Germany was punished by the Treaty of Versailles by losing significant amounts of land and restrictions to their military operations. Article 231 (the "war guilt" clause) was harsh, as it placed all responsibility for war on Germany, who had to pay reparations to the Allies.]]> 2019-01-15 18:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/2500231/xf2lp84rtey6/wish/320928958 2500231 https://padlet.com/2500231/xf2lp84rtey6/wish/320930251 Western Front: A deadlocked area of northern France during 1914]]> 2019-01-15 18:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/2500231/xf2lp84rtey6/wish/320930251
