Chapter 1 The causes of the struggle: Austria blamed Serbia for the death of Franz Ferdinand, and sent it an ultimatum. thusly Austria state war on Serbia and start shooting at Belgrado. and so the Russian precious to serve Serbia and was sure their regular army was ready. Germany warned Russia non to help Serbia. Then Germany declared war on Russia. The French started to grapple any Germany invasion, and Germany declared war at France too. They as well invaded Belgium. England told Germany to leave Belgium. The Germans didnt agree so England declared war on Germany, and Austria declared war on Russia.

The Alliances 1914- The countries in Europe were dual-lane up into two groups. Triple entente (Britain, France and Russia) and Triple Alliance (Germany Austria-Hungary and Italy).

Triple Alliance:         Germany: Was first divided in small states. Prussian leader won a war against France and united Germany. Germany Kaiser wants to have oersea colonies. Germany built a large navy, worlds second. They had a gargantuan and strong army.

        Austria-Hungary: Made of citizenry with different ethnic groups. Each group had his own expression and wanted independency form A-H. They wrere frightened for Serbia, because Serbs were strong. And Russia supported the Serbs.

        Italy: It was make of small states too, and had in the first place get his political science working probably. It also wanted to set up colonies overseas. They werent trust fully by the others.

Triple Entente:         Britain: In the nineteenth century Britain isolated theirselfs. They only wanted overseas colonies. For most of the Time Britain was scared for France and Russis, and that changed, because France and Britain reached an agreement over colonies. Russia was defeated by Japan. precisely they were still scared for Germany, because they do clear they wanted a big empire.

        France: They were scared for Germany because they were already defeated once. They built up strong industries and armies. And their relation with Russia was rattling good. They wanted to get their rich colonies, which were in German Hands.

        Russia: It was the largest. But is was also the poorest and only had agriculture, although they were helped by France with money to develop industries. They were scared for Germany too. They helped Serbia because they had had trouble with A-H before. They started to built up big armies.

Plans for War         Germany: They had not the biggest but the best trained army. The problem was that they would have to fight against both France and Russia at one eon. They came up with the Schlieffen Plan. They would first promptly attack and defeat France then they would turn to Russia because Russia would be so slow to get their troops ready.

        Austria-Hungary: They needed the help of Germany to held tooshie Russia. They also went on the Schlieffen Plan.

        Russia: It was badly equip, but they had lots of soldiers. They could when they had time put millions of people in was.They wanted to get the Germans and The Austrians by having much more soldiers.

        France: It had a large and swell up equipped army, and they had to attack following Plan 17, They would attack and go profoundly into germany.

        Britain: They had a small group of 150,000 people wich were very well trained and equipped. They could go to France and help them there in a very short time. there plans were for a short war with a fast victory.

Germany wanted to help Morocco (a French colony). The Germans also sent a gunship to morocco and France and Britain were scared Germany wanted to set up a navybase. They forced German to brook of.

The Balkans It was very fluid there, because of different nationalities were mixed. The Turkish people had ruled the area, but it changed. The tender Turkish rulers did not agree which each other. Russia and Austria both wanted to rule the Balkans.

The crisis began when Austria took over Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Russia didnt wish well it but didnt complain because they were scared for war. When the Austrians claimed that the Serbs killed Franz Ferdinand and they set up an ultimatum the Serbs got angry and asked help by Russia.

Chapter 2 The Schlieffen Plan: At first it looked like they would succeed, they had invaded Belgium. The Belgians werent strong enough to keep the ell trained Germans show up. Then the Brittons helped France, they landed in France and they did slow down the Germans but not too much. When this happened, the French attacked Germany directly, this didnt work surface and they were defeated, they lost 200,000 men in 12 days. They had to get back and defend capital of France from the Germans. However for the Germans things didnt work out that good, they needed lots of man, and the Russians were quicker than the Germans thought. Because they ran out of time the Germans attacked Paris directly instead of circling a fill out it. They failed, because the French and the Brittons together were strong enough. This battle was the turning point; The Schlieffen plan had failed, so Germany was caught in a two-front war. The Germans couldnt get through the confrontation lines, until a new commander Falkenhayn, thought of going round the lines. The Germans went toward the sea but the French went there too, to block them. At the Battle of Ypres in Belgium both Britain and Germany had very big losses, and no one could break through the enemy lines.
