Whats to blame for World War 1?
The four M.A.I.N causes of WWI are known to be Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism. Militarism built up the armies in Europe, meaning more weapons to use and more soldiers to use them. Alliances dragged many countries into what would have otherwise been a mini-conflict between Austria and Serbia. Imperialism gave the combatants in Europe colonies all over the world that got involved making it a world war. And nationalism made everyone think their country was the best and made them want to fight. Different people blame different combinations of the four for causing the war.

Define imperialism as it existed in the 1800s?
Eurpoean Imperialism, where a country extends its influence and culture through trade, diplomacy, and military, had been steadily growing since the late 1400's, when countries started to acquire colonies. Colonies eventually became part of empires, Britain's being the largest and most affluent in the 1800's. Before empires were built, however, the forces of Nationalism within various European states caused them to attempt to expand borders and commerce at the expense of their neighbors. The rise of the British Empire in the mid 1800's and earlier, the expansion of France under Napoleon in the late 1700's, induced other European powers, notably Germany and Italy, to consolidate and develop their own brand of Nationalism, then acquire their own colonies as their own form of Imperialism. This competition among the major European Powers, inside and outside of Europe, finally resulted in major conflict in 1914 causing the First World War.
Why does the nationalism thrive on conflict?
The want of your country to be the best. Nationalism is not really caused....it just happens through compettivness to be the best Nationalism is one's want for their country to be the best.... ex: the 4th of July in the United States

How did nationalism affect the Austro-Hungarian Empire?
It helped unite Germany but divided the Austrian EmpireNationalism affected the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires by causing ethnic-like divisions since nationalism unified Germanic countries, and equally caused animosity between individual countries within themselves.
Who was most responsible for the outbreak of World War One?
The immediate cause of World War I, the Great War, was the assassination of Archduke Franz Feerdinand of the Austro-Hungarioan Empire by a Serbian nationalist in June, 1914, in Sarajevo, Bosnia. The underlying causes were nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and the alliance systems. The alliance systems then in effect caused the other major nations to enter the war. Austria-Hungary wanted to punish Serbia for the assassination. Germany was an ally of Austria-Hungary and gave Austria the famous "blank check" to punish Serbia and Germany would back up its ally. Serbia looked to Russia for support. When Russia would not back down, Germany declared war on Russia. Russia had a defensive treaty with England and France. When Germany declared war on Russia, France and England honored their treaty. As to who is most responsible, that would be determined by the victors. According to the Treaty of Versailles which ended the war, Germany had to admit to causing the Great War. See the following for more information. http://hometown.aol.com/we4amhis/ww1index.html MrV
Who were e all the central powers?
The Central Powers had included Germany and Austria-Hungary, which had later included Italy in what would be known as the Triple Alliance. In May of 1915, however, Italy had left the Triple Alliance to join the Triple Entente, which was surprised of Britain, France, and The United States, as well as their subsidiaries. Why it was that Italy had altered it's allegiance to the Triple Alliance was from the fact that it had previously decided to be neutral within the affairs of the Great War. It would seem to be as well from the fact that Austria-Hungary had military forces within the Northern Parts of Italy, causing Italy to have virtually no other choice yet to be with the Triple Alliance in the first place. Once Italy had left the Triple Alliance, the Ottoman Empire (now consisting of mainly Turkey) had involved itself with the Triple Alliance, as seen with Battle of Gallipoli.
