The Path to World War I: Alliances, Imperialism, and Leadership of Otto von Bismarck

This text explores the complex web of alliances and imperialist ambitions that paved the way for World War I. It focuses on Otto von Bismarck's diplomatic strategies, including the formation of the Three Emperors’ League, the Dual Alliance, and the Triple Alliance with Austria and Italy. The rivalry between Britain and Germany, marked by the Entente Cordiale and the establishment of the Triple Entente, contributed to rising tensions. Key events, such as the Balkan and Moroccan crises and the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, further escalated conflicts leading to the war.
