  1. The most important issues relating to World War I are the alliances that were formed between the countries especially with Germany, the Balkan Wars and the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand which was a leading cause in the outbreak of World War I.

    anyway
    ~one of the issues that caused WWI was that the alliances between the different European powers were starting to clash and disintegrate.

  4. An important issue with WWI was that the countries involved all had secret alliances, some had multiple, so they each thought that they were the strongest with their alliance's help. This caused an outbreak in wars among different countries.

  5. i think the Franco-Prussian War had a big effect on WW1. Because two countries fought more and more countries want to join.

    i agree with chelsea, the secret alliances did have an effect on the war.

  7. I know that the alliances made a huge impact on World War 1, but wasn't it because of Bismarck's dismissal that made the alliances fail?

  8. I'd rather say that these were issues and benefits (depending on who was a part of it and who it was conspiring against), European alliances were being created all throughout Europe due to so many countries wanting to gain more power and defense to win. A main country being Germany, constanly forming to make it stronger. However, the main issue that relate and started WWI would have to be the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. His death caused the powers of Europe to break out in a brutal battle (obviously WWI)...

    Continuing and answering Cedric's statement and question, The alliances of Europe did make huge impacts on starting the war. Yes, due to Bismarck's dismissal, The alliances soon failed, Germany began provoking countries, and some countries tried to create allainces that would work but ended up as chaos.

  9. One of the most important issues relating to World War I was the strong Nationalism of European countries. The views that eachother had caused conflict and brought them to war.

    Another big issue relating WWI was the secret alliances between countries. As chelsea said =]

  10. I agree with everyone who said that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, because that was a source of a lot of tension between countries.

  11. Indeed the death of the Archduke by the hands of the Blackhand was what caused Austria- Hungury to start to move. Though we could still say that most of this mess goes to Sabira who maybe hired the Blackhand or where they were from, and Germany sho began to fight when Russia was only at it's boarders.

  12. I agree with Cedric's comment and the add-on that Tangie posted about the alliances failing when Bismark was dismissed. But, didn't both Germany and Russia place troops at their borders saying that they didn't want the war to come to them. And this is a great question to talk about Mrs. Dawson.

  13. An important issue relating to World War I is, like Chelsea said, the fact that all the countries had secrete alliances. Each country thought that they are stronger than the others because of the alliances. If it wasn't for that most of the countries wouldn't have been involved in this war.


    I also agree that the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand, also had an impact on the war.

  14. I think the most important issues in WWI was the serious advancements in the technology and the weaponry. Because of this the war had serious damage to the population of europeans. Another important issue of this war was the allied system of these countries. because of the allies this war began. If nobody had anybody else's back then there wouldn't be a war..

    i couldn't put it up here any other way

  15. I think that one of the major issues that relate to WWI are the fact that the countries were competing over newer and better technology dealing with advance weaponry.Each country stole each others ideas and used it to create inhumane chaos with one another like the creation of the tank, chemical gases, plane, submarines, and advance machine guns.

    I also agree with Chris with most of the things he said x]

  16. I think the system of alliances made by bismarck was one of the key issues of the war. Without the alliances there wouldnt have been the need for a huge war.

    And i also agree with danny about the advancement of weapons during the war because it caused a lot more lives than older wars

  17. I think that a major cause of WWI was that there were many intertwined reltaions and treaties between countries that caused tention whenever some country did anything that could be interpreted as an invasion or mobilization.

    and I agree with David and Danny about weapon advancements and how they were THE major cuase of why so many lives were lost in this war. 0_0

  18. I think one of the main reasons for the start of World War I was the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.

    I also agree with Jake Tashner about nationalism because some countries were trying to create their own state while others supported imperialism .

  19. Fatima Castro said...

    One of the main causes of WWI was indeed the assasination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife Josefina, which in turn offended one country and then the country retaliated with nationalism and then you have WWI(or at least one cause:)

    I also agree with David and Danny because the use of weapons did indeed contribute to the increase in mortality rates during the war and it also made the war more personal and violent as in comparison to earlier wars whose weapons only consisted of fists and swords.

  20. i agree with Fatima, if it wasnt for a great pride and sense of nationalish, the assasination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife may not have had quite the impact that it did.

    Also, an important issue relating to World War 1 is that it showed flaw in human nature, how willing people were to do anything for their country or for what they believed in or wanted to accomplish. They created more and more killing machines and killed more and more people.

    Nationalism was ignored in favor of preserving the peace. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the trigger.But also I believe that this war was a big advancement in technology.



    I agree with everyone who said that Archduke Ferdinand was the big cause of the war!!!!

  22. I agree with Fatima and Stephanie. The assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand was definitely what started the war in my eyes.

    Weapon advancements were a giant part of the war and I think they definitely made the death toll as high as it was. It was called the war to end all wars for a reason. However, I disagree with Fatima where she said it made the war more personal. It did make the war more violent than previous ones but I think because of it being so easy to kill mass numbers of people, the war became much less personal.

  23. The assassination of Archduke Francis was the start of the war. This action offended Austria-Hungary who soon declared war on Serbia.


    I agree with Jake Tashner about the alliances and strong Nationalism. The Nationalism was too strong and some states wanted to be their own country.

  24. One of the biggest issues related to World War One was the feeling of nationalism in each country. It turned people against each other, including other countries which led to strong feelings of hatred towards each country and the desire for war increased.

    I also agree with what Fatima said about the assasination of Archduke Ferdinand being an important issue leading to the war.

  25. I think the most important issue of world war1 was the countries that lost lots of land and some of the countries that were gained. They also came up with lots of new weapons that did lots of damage in a short amount of time like,machine guns and poisinous gas.

  26. What i think the most important issue was, i think, was what resulted becouse of the war. After the the distruction of the war, the creation of new states arose.

    Forgive me, but i disagree with fatima about the assasination of the arch duke being the most important. That event only started ii, and it was only the murder of one person. Compared to all the stuff that happened during the war, his little event seems so minor.

  27. I think the most important issue of WWI was the fact that no one was content with their amount of land. Which very much dealt into imperialism and a bit of nationalism.

    Why is it that everything leads back into nationalism.?

    I also agree with danny about the advancement in weapons aiding in the war. I doubt it would've been so bad if we didnt have those type of guns and such

  28. i have to agree with stephanie santos. no one was contents with their land that was one of the reasons serbia went and killed the archduke, so they could gain back land that had been taken from them.

    Nationalism is indeed a big part of the war. the states of prussia were turned into Germany by nationalism and they were the ones who caused the most trouble.

  29. I think the most important issue of world war 1 was the advancement and production of Europe's weaponry. Everyone was looking for the next best weapon which may have been one of the reasons the war lasted so long.

    I agree with lenise about the assassination of the archduke being another main reason for the war. There are just so many to choose from!

  30. the weapons in WWI did do a number on all of the countries fighting the war. there was the fact that france was alone with no allies and there was the fact that germany was right on his boarders so that caused a lot of tendion and lose of land.

    ReplyDelete
  31. considering EVERYONE ALREADY pretty much answered the question. i do agree that the countries were trying to gain more land and power, and that the assasination of the archduke did set everything off and also we did start seeing new weapons being brought into this war. like big bertha and the poison gas.

  32. one of the main issues with world war 1 was that many european nations were paranoid so they made secret alliances with the other countries and caused mistrust among many countries. also many counries were trying to grow and thought they had allies with everyone however their allies were allies with their own enemies causing great confusion among the nations.

  33. One improtant issues of WWI was the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand. this was a major spark of the war. throughout the war new inventions came. as a result of there war a lot of countries were damage and so was the economy.

    i agree ryan
    the franco -prussian war did have a lot to do with it

  34. One of the most important issues relating to World War I was the land problems, the inventions of the new weapons, and also making sure Germany didn't rise again. A lot of countries wanted to expand or take their land back that had been taken away. New weapons contributed to issues because war had become killing people and not seeing there face so there was no shame. Also the new weapons took ot mass amounts of people. Germany was a big problem because they try to take control and the other countries don't want that.

    I agree with Douglas because the inventions were an issue with WWI.

  35. I believe the major causes of the war, was the changes in the alliances over the time periods in the late 1800's and the beginning of the war. This caused some tension as some countries wanted to feel protected and gain territories.

    I agree with stephanie santos with the fact that nationalism played a factor and that people werent content with what they had. Also that governments wanted to expand their territories.

  36. The most im porttant issues of WW1 is the form of different allies that start to split up europe.

    ReplyDelete
  37. i believe that the alliances, which caused many discrepancies in the long run, were important because the bonds formed kept fronts during the war together. i also think that some of the new technologies created are valuable because they were able to evolve, or improve rather, throughout the war

  38. Okay, since just about everyone said the secret alliances...I guess I'll say something different?

    Um, wasn't the assassination of that Archduke totally a reason? ._. I mean, that was the first domino to fall and knock over all the rest--set off the chain reactions and all~

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh, I guess I have to comment someone else's post too?

    Um...well, I agree with everyone about the secret alliances. It's like, one country would be attacking a country that their ally would be allied with? If that made any sense...In any event, it's obvious it caused problems. =/
