Causes of WW I

Their were many causes of World War I. They all slowly built up until on important event made the spark and ignited the gas that was overflowing. The Assignation of France Ferdenance was the spark but the gas was many other things that build up for many years. In many countries Militarism started taking root. Most countries started because other countries started but that doesn't change the fact the because of this tensions started to rise. Two causes could be related if you think about it. Nationalism, the support for your country that what it does is right and that it is better then other countries led to imperialism which is when a country takes its Nationalism and spreads it to other countries and continents.

However one of the main causes for WWI (or as then known at the time the Great War) was the alliances that were formed threw out Europe. The main alliances were those between Great Britain, France, Russia and that of Germany, Italy, and Austria Hungary. When Austria Hungary went to war so did Germany. When Britain learned that one of their 'lesser allies' Serbia were going to War with Austria Hungary they too went to war, then France, Russia, and Italy as wheal. So while one event was the cause for WWI the war itself was inevitable due to all the things that were happening threw out Europe.
