first world war

Britain
the reason that Britain decided to join the war was because Germany attacked Belgium which Britain had an alliance with so Britain went to their defence another reason they joined was to make sure they maintained the largest navy
the national interest of the british people were to make sure that they still had the largest navy in the world because they wanted naval control and they wanted to protect Belgium from germany
the main thing that Britain was focused on after the war was making sure the Germany could still contribute to society and pay off their debts but they also wanted to make sure they couldn't build up to be this big power again and start another war so they put a military cap on them they also wanted to maintain the largest navy and wanted to dominate in world trade
germany
the national interest of the germans was they wanted to be shown as a strong power because they were a new forming country
the reason that Germany started to join the war was because they wanted more of french land and wanted to expand their colony but if they fought France directly France had a alliance with Russia so they would be pinched by both the countries so Germany decided that they would try to go through Belgium to attack France seperatly not knowing they had ties with the British
when it came to the treaty of Versailles the Germans couldn't demand much because they had the whole war basically blamed on them and in return of the war they got a lot of debt

Austria Hungary
the reason that Austria Hungary joined the war was because terrorist associated with Serbia killed the prince of Austria Hungary and there was certain ethnic groups in Serbia that correlated with Austria Hungary and they also wanted land
the national interest of the austrians was to gain some land because they had alot od diverse groups and needed to expand so they could kinda split them up
what austria wanted after the war was some serbian land so that they could expand their empire making it bigger for all the different groups of people they have in their country
USA
national interest
the US didnt really have any national interest when it came to the first world war the only thing they wanted was a conference of all the countries so they could talk things over instead of always having to go to war
the only reason that the US joined the war was because germany shot down some ships with american people in them
the only thing that america wanted after the war was they wanted to have a conference made from all the countries so instead of going to war with each other they could just come to an agreement instead of fighting
