9. German Paranoia
8. Arms Race in Europea
7. Decline of the Ottoman Empire
6. Imperialism
Prior to World War I, the major European powers massive head start over Germany in terms of extending their colonies. The resources and raw materials that new colonies could provide were lucrative. For that reason, all these big powers were trying to make the most out of unrest in Europe, leading to more conflict between themselves.
5. Balkan Wars
4. Nationalism
In an attempt to make the most out of instability in the Slavic region, the Slavic people in Bosnia and Herzegovina decided it was the right time to separate from Austria-Hungary and merge into Serbia. Despite the volatile situation in the region, a war that would soon involve all major European superpowers was still only a distant fear for many. This event triggered a series of offenses that significantly narrowed any chance of a peaceful armistice. Nationalism played a role in leading to the war not only in the Balkan region, but across the whole of Europe. The entire region was high on the concept of nationalism, each nation calling itself an “inviolable territory,” So when Germany captured Alsace-Lorraine in 1871, it did not go down very well with the French. When the Slavic region opened up due to repeated conflicts, the newly formed Balkan nations were ready for war if any other European nation tried to annex them into new colonies.
3. Mutual Defense Alliances
As the relationships between nations started to take an ugly turn, countries across Europe began to sign mutual defense agreements with nations they could depend on in the face of war. Since these were mutual defense treaties, it meant that if an allied nation became involved in any sort of war, the other nations had to participate as well in defense of their ally. Prior to the Great War, Russia and Serbia already had an alliance, as did Germany, Austria and Hungary. So it was no big surprise when Russia and Germany also became involved in the conflict between Serbia and Austria-Hungary. But then again, both Russia and Germany had further alliances with other European nations too, increasing the roster of participants in a conflict which eventually became a fully fledged war.
2. Lack of International Laws
These days there are many rules to ensure that nations remain united in international peace, with consequences and ramifications if nations do not abide by them (though their effectiveness is fairly questionable). Back when World War I was on the brink of creating chaos and disarray across the whole of Europe, there were no such laws to keep aggression between nations in check, let alone bring justice to those who annexed territories in the name of their imperial aspirations. Although a global-level economy had already surfaced by the late 19th century, the global community as a whole was yet to devise a system of international law that could restrain one nation from using violence against another. Institutions that were supposed to promote peace were fairly dysfunctional and had little impact on the then international community.
1. Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria
At a time when many events had brought the now imminent war to boiling point, it was this incident that almost immediately turned much of Europe into an active war zone. The conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia over Bosnia’s desire to become part of Serbia was intense. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was making a visit to Sarajevo with his wife on June 28, 1914. Although the couple narrowly escaped an attack by a Serbian terrorist group called the Black Hand, they were later assassinated on the same day by a Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip while they were still in Sarajevo. Since Princip and his accomplices were Bosnian Serbs, Austria-Hungary accused Serbia of masterminding the assassination and immediately declared war on Serbia. Being in alliance with Serbia, Russia soon mobilized its army in Serbian defense, which in turn led to Germany declaring war on Russia.
-> This is the most directly of all reasons have caused the Great War.
Which of the following statements best describes John Locke's Social Contract Theory?
a) “Humans can use their senses to discover natural laws and apply them to society.”
b) “The purpose of government is to protect the individual liberties of its citizens.”
c) “Man must use reason and science to combat religion and superstition.”
d) “As long as hierarchy is observed, a nation’s citizens will have political liberty.”
Answer: b) “The purpose of government is to protect the individual liberties of its citizens.”
Explanation:
According to John Locke, he only reason that people give up certain rights to the government is so that the government can protect their liberties as well as their properties and lives. This represents a social contract.
If the government is unable to do this then they have broken the social contract and can be recalled by the citizens of the country who will then put in another government that should be able to take care of them.

4. Decreased international lending and tariffs.
Answer:
Banking panics and monetary contraction
The gold standard,
Decreased international lending and tariffs.
The stock market crash of 1929
Explanation:
Banking panics and monetary contraction:
A banking panic arises when many depositors simultaneously lose confidence in the solvency of banks and demand that their bank deposits be paid to them in cash.
The gold standard:
The gold standard is a monetary system in which paper money is freely convertible into a fixed amount of gold. In other words, in such a monetary system, gold backs the value of money. The U.S. Constitution in 1789 gave Congress the sole right to coin money and the power to regulate its value.
Decreased international lending and tariffs:
Many economists have argued that the sharp decline in international trade after 1930 helped to worsen the Great Depression, and many historians partly blame this on the American Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act (enacted June 17, 1930) for reducing international trade and causing retaliatory tariffs in other countries.
The stock market crash of 1929:
The Wall Street Crash of 1929, also known as the Great Crash, was a major American stock market crash that occurred in the autumn of 1929. It started in September and ended late in October, when share prices on the New York Stock Exchange collapsed.
