Think about it... if your ally is at war with someone, you, unfortunately, have an obligation to help. This is exactly what happened with WWI. Because many nations were allied with one another, they got sucked into the war as well.

What did the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria do to cause world war 1?

the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria caused different countries to to alliance with one and another so that if there was a war they would help each other, to protect the royals in the country. the more countries that joined each alliance began people to begin fighting for each country and this was when the out break of ww1 started.


What are 2 long term causes of world war 1?

One of the long Term causes was the Alliance system, The Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente In the Triple Entente was - England, Russia and France. In the Triple Alliance was - Germany, Austira-Hungary and Italy. The alliances meant that the countries agreed that when one of them was in trouble the other two countries had to help out, no matter how small trouble was. By having this alliance it meant that countries were getting involved where they didn't need to be and so the Alliances grew between countries and soon it was just too much effort to not have a war so a war was started. Another few causes were Nationalism, where countries were basically just showing off and saying my country is better than yours. As well as Imperialism. However Militarism I think is another larger reason for the start of WW1. (This reason kind of includes Imperialism. England and Germany were two very proud countries who both thought they were better than each other and had almost a constant battle between themselves over who had the biggest empire and who had the biggest army, they wouldn't really fight over it but would be constantly trying to get more men into their armies and own more land, so when the chance to gain alliances came up both countries jumped at the chance as it meant a larger army. Plus more weapons and sort of a bigger empire - even though it was just alliances. So both countries quickly made the alliances. I hope this has helped answer your questions, sorry if anything is spelled wrong or I have missed out a detail, I am only 13.


What is the difference between triple entente and triple allience?

Triple alliance- Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy (Rumania was associated with Austria-Hungary and Germany but not with Italy ... so it was not in the triple alliance) Triple Entente- France, Brtiain and Russia ( France and Russia were bound witha strong alliance, however they only had an entente with Britain) An alliance is stronger and more formal than an entente, an entente is only a friendly agreement
