Worl war 1
World War I The Causes of the War OK, in a nutshell, World War I's cause went as far back as the early 1800s. People controlled by other nations began to evolve people's feelings of nationalism. The French Revolution of 1789 brought a new feeling to the word Nationalism. People who spoke French, German, Italian, ext. felt that they should have a separate government in a country where everyone spoke the same language. Unfortunately, we can't please everyone and this demand they had was something impossible that could be done. As time passed people began to establish war cults or military alliances. The members from these groups would discriminate and verbally abuse the people, which didn't speak their language. Warmongers criticized at foreign ways of doing things.

After the war, people who went back to their homes went to find that their villages, towns and/or cities didn't exist. People criticized any techniques that were said to spies. There was a record number of sinking of US merchant ships. American troops blocked an enemy offensive at Chateau-Thierry & prevented Germans from sweeping across the Marne to Paris. So President Wilson thought the US would not enter the war but as we already know, he was wrong.
