-If you sat a map of Europe on top of a map of the United States, what fraction of the U.S. would you guess Europe is, in total size?

Europe vs. U.S. map

Taking all of this information into account, what possible problems might this situation lead to that might cause anger/ jealousy between certain nations?

Can you think of two?

-What conclusion can you draw about the average size of the various countries of Europe?

CAUSE #1

Page 7: Numbers of WW I 13 million 8 1914 115,000 13,000,000 1917 27 70 million Total people killed War started Americans killed Total people injured America enters.

IMPERIALISM- Nations expanding their borders caused tension.

Conflict grew between nations because each was seeking to expand their territory, at the expense of other nations.

Jealousy grew as nations had land taken from them, or lost out on gaining a colony acquired by someone else.

Page 8: Numbers of WW I 13 million 8 1914 115,000 13,000,000 1917 27 70 million Total people killed War started Americans killed Total people injured America enters.

What do you recognize about the nationalities of people, and where they were living in 1914? What problems might this cause?

CAUSE #2

Page 9: Numbers of WW I 13 million 8 1914 115,000 13,000,000 1917 27 70 million Total people killed War started Americans killed Total people injured America enters.

NATIONALISM - Extreme pride and devotion to a nation.Jealousy and competition grew between these “proud” nations of Europe, as they tried to show their greatness to others. This led to a strong desire to “prove” their worthiness to the claim of the greatest nation in Europe.

-The major powers of Europe each were very proud of their long history and rich culture. In your opinion, what problems can extreme arrogance and pride in oneself lead to?

If you were a country in Europe in the years leading up to 1914, and there were other countries of Europe you “didn’t like,” what might be the smart thing to start doing?

Can you think of two different things?

CAUSE #3

MILITARISM - Each nation spent many years and a lot of money creating the most powerful military they could. This created an over confidence in these nations that should they fight a war, they would not lose. A “Use it or Lost it” mentality was the direct result of this.

-What does the phrase “there is strength in numbers” mean?   -What advantages would each nation have if they got other nations to join their side?

ALLIANCES– Team building

In an effort to shift the “balance of power” in their direction, each nation sought other countries to become their allies. If they were going to fight, they wanted to assure themselves of victory.
