The Great War Begins

The onset of World War I was fueled by deep-seated nationalism, relentless imperialism, and militarism, which set the stage for intense rivalries among nations. Nationalism stirred competition for industrial dominance and power, while imperial ambitions led to mistrust between empires. Militarism translated diplomatic disputes into arms races. The formation of the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente created opposing factions eager for conflict. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 was the spark that ignited these tensions, propelling Europe into war.
