Militarism
Militarism was the pouring of resources into a countries army in order to assure destruction of a country's enemy or tenuous ally.
One example of militarism was between Germany and England, who were vying for control over the North Atlantic by building up increasingly large naval forces.
Militarism lead to many modern technologies, including radar, computers, airplanes, and aircraft carriers, all which are in use today.
Alliances
Alliances were used between powers in order to check each other's power and influence and increase their own, theses alliances were often tenuous, and were broken often.
One alliance was the Triple Alliance, which consisted of Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Italy, among others
Another alliance was the Triple Entente, whose members were Britain, France, and Russia, with a few other countries joining in.
Imperialism
In the years leading up to World War One, countries like England and Germany, jealous over each other's colonial empires lead to new fierce competition in formerly free regions.
Imperialism is the policy of extending a country's power and sphere of influence through diplomacy or military force.
Nationalism
Stemming from fierce national pride, nationalism was the idea that everyone born outside of the country was second class

Catalysts
Assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28th, 1914
Schlieffen Plan: a plan designed by the German commander Schrieffen in order to ensure German victory over a France Russia alliance by holding off Russia with minimal resources and quickly defeating France.
repercussions
One of the biggest and most prevalent and important repercussions of ww1 was the defeat and subsequent destruction of Germany's military and economy.
This led, arguably to the rise of Hitler and the nationalist movement that was fed by anger over the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty did not include Germany in the negotiations but dictated all of Germany's actions for the years to come.
