Causes of WWI

There were many things that contributed to world war one. One of the reasons for WWI were Nationalism. Before war all of the countries were building up with pride. Nationalism gave the countries a feeling of superiority which cause bother hatred and racism. Suddenly people from one country simply started disliking people from another country simply as a duty to their own country. Another reason was militarism. As the countries began to work harder on their military the others got suspicious. Over the years before WWI all the countries started putting more money into their army and navy. Each one was as suspicious as the next and making secret alliances with one another. At that point all the countries started preparing for a war and were ready for it at any moment. At last another major conflict was the countries alliance systems. The alliances pretty much made the teams up for war. There was the Triple Alliance which was Italy, Germany, and Austria- Hungary. Also there was the Triple Entente which was made up of Great Britain, France, and Russia.
