Causes of WW1 (GERMANY (Wilhelm the 1st (Crazy first cousins (George the…

- - - - George the 5th King of England
      - Nicholas the 2nd Tsar of Russia
    - - Bismark realised that Germany was not colonised. So under Wilhelm the 1st supervision, he created fake wars and conflicts with other countries to bring Germany together to hate a common enemy.
        
        ALLIANCE SYSTEM
        
        Bulgaria and Serbia
        
        Russia
        
        Austria-Hungary
        
        France
        
        Germany
        
        Britain
        
        Italy
        
        His actions led to tangled alliances, also referred to as Bismark's Domino effect, meaning that if one thing went wrong a whole war would break out
- - - - The Boer war-Britain expanded and went to war with The Boer people anyway
        
        PHASE 2---Britain takes the Boer capital. Britain get's more reinforcements; but Germany and the Boer people strike up a deal, and Germany sends the Boer weapons to use against Britain
        
        THIS MAKES BRITAIN SCARED OF GERMANY
        
        PHASE 3---British Empire starves and burns out the Boer- and create concentration camps not only for the Boer but for white people. The Boer Give up hope and BRITAIN WINS.
        
        WAR ENDS WITH TREATY OF VEREENIGING
        
        PHASE 1---Britain sent more troops into the Boer territory, with no explanation, making the Boer people uneasy and scared. The Boer prepare their small band of warriors and attack on Britain through two fronts on October 11, 1899. The Boer knew the land and were able the besiege the main towns.
- - - - Russia sent an army to Serbia because they had a treaty
        
        Germany declared war on Russia because Germany had a treaty with Austria
        
        France was bound by it's treaty with Russia to fight Germany
        
        Britain was allied with France so they had to defend Belgium
        
        TENSIONS WERE HIGH BETWEEN RUSSIA AND GERMANY
        
        Germany came up with THE SCHlIEFFEN PLAN
        
        Germany came up with this plan when the Domino alliance went into affect.
        The plan: a two front war plan, to take out France's capital. This was under the assumption that Belgium would let Germany march it's troupes right through their land to get to France. From France, they would take the railroad to get to Russia, under another assumption that Russia would take at least six weeks to mobilise.
        
        Germany sent men on bicycles in suits to try and convince Belgium
        
        France heard about Germany's plan (sending men to advertise it wasn't exactly discreet)
        Frances counter plan is called Plan 17!
        This was the 17th draft...kinda sad
        They wanted to attack forward (the wrong spot too) and they think that if they have the spirit of victory they would win. The plan was outdated, they sent Calvary (horses) at a line of machine guns. IT WAS STUPID. He thought he could attack with hand to hand combat (would never even get close enough).
        Their uniform is way to colourful (red and blue) so the Germans can see them. LITERALLY EVERYONE CAN SEE THEM.

      - THE DOMINO EFFECT!!!!!!
- - - - BRITAIN freaked out because they thought Germany was trying to start a war, so they built the Dreadnought-a HUGE battle ship
        
        GERMANY wanted to one up Britain because they thought they were better. so they build The Nassau-and even bugger boat.
