long term causes of WW1
militarism
-
england had great command of the sea with its strong naval forces, and germany began to upgrade its navy. fearing for its control, england maufactured the dreadnought in 1906, and germany followed with the rhienland. the race was on. between 1906 and 1914, england had 29 dreadnoughts, and germany 17.
all great powers feared these vast armies, and began to strengthen their forces, building suspicion and tension as they worried what england and germany intented to do with their forces.
-
in 1898 and 1890 germany signed the naval agreement and allowed the manufacturing of 46 battleships and 60 cruisers, this threatened england
-
alliances
-
the triple alliance consisted of germany, austria hungary and italy.
-
the triple entente was originally the entente cordiale, signed in 1904 by france and england. in 1907, russia joined this alliance having already allied with france in 1892
these alliances between the great powers were made to prevent war by evenly distributing power. it would make war disastrous and unsuccessful. however, it really built rivalries and suspicion.
imperialism
-
in the early 1900s, england had the largest empire and it got lots of income and power from its command of overseas colonies
germany wanted some of this power as its 'own place in the sun' as it took alsace lorraine in 1871, it leaned war was the way to do this.
