Key Factors Leading to Tensions in Early 20th Century Europe

This worksheet explores the three main reasons for tensions between European countries leading up to World War I: nationalism, militarism, and entangled alliances. Nationalism fueled national pride, Militarism glorified military strength, and the network of alliances created binding commitments among nations. The Triples Alliance, including the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany, and Italy, contrasted with the Triple Entente of Great Britain, Russia, and France. Initially neutral, the United States maintained a policy of noninvolvement in the early stages of the conflict.
