Have you ever thought about what really causes a world war? Most people think it would be an awful event that could cause something tragic to an entire nation. Some people don’t even realize what type of damage it has caused, they only remember the battles and how many people were killed. World War I began in 1914. This war affected all of Europe. Some of the main causes of the war were alliances, militarism, nationalism, and imperialism. I believe the underlying cause of World War I was alliances. The evidence is clear from the picture in Document 4. It shows some of the countries are allies with each other but some are not. The topic of this paragraph is militarism. Lets start with the graph on Document 7, ‘The Growth in Armaments.’ This graph proves that the military in Great Britain, Russia, and France is more influenced than Germany, Austria- Hungary, and France. This was a cause of the war because the countries that did not have a very complex military were jealous of the other countries that did. In document 8 it states, “In the coming century the German nation will be either the hammer or the anvil.” This means if Germany does not have a strong military they will not have a strong nation. The topic of this paragraph is nationalism. In Document 5 it shows two different national anthems. This is nationalism because saying or singing the anthem shows pride for your country. In Document 6 it states, “If Serbia wants to live in honor, she can only do this by war.” This proves that the only way Serbia is proud of their country is if they fight for their freedom. Many countries don’t have to put them selves into war just to have pride. The topic of this paragraph is

The study of world history, as distinct from national history, has existed in many world cultures. However, early forms of world history were not truly global, and were limited to only the regions known by historian.

Sima Qian's model is based on the Mandate of Heaven. Rulers rise when they united China, then are overthrown when…

particular case children are seen as a ‘cost’ by the Migration Watch and as an ‘asset’ by the government. Anyhow ‘the definition of a migrant can be used to align people on different sides of an argument’ (Raghuram, 2010, p.166). Sources like official documents, case studies, reports, speeches have been a few of the many different attempts to define the meaning of Britishness. In Britain, national identity and citizenship is not the same thing. ‘The Scottish and Welsh will usually say that they have British…
