[su_posts posts_per_page=”1″ tax_term=”2703″ order=”desc” orderby=”rand”] Beside this, why did the 1st world war start?
The immediate cause for World War 1 was the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his pregnant wife Sophie. However, there were many other causes for the start of World War 1. Before WW1 was triggered, a number of defence alliances existed between the major European countries.
One may also ask, how did ww1 become a global war? It became a World War because all the major participants were colonial powers, and they took the war to Africa, Asia and Oceania as part of the power struggle for more colonies and assets. This quadruple power struggle in Europe boiled over to North America, India, Africa and the Caribbeans.
Considering this, what war was going on in 1914?
World War I
What were the 3 main reasons for World War 1?
The immediate cause of World War I that made the aforementioned items come into play (alliances, imperialism, militarism, nationalism) was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. In June 1914, a Serbian-nationalist terrorist group called the Black Hand sent groups to assassinate the Archduke.
