With the conflict between Germany and France fighting over Europe, World War I began, especially due to the tension created from the result of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Germany wanted power and dominance over Europe, while France was looking for equivalency of power. America then got involved in order to make sure that no country would gain total control over Europe to prevent any threats to the United States security and economy. The United States began to support Allies by increasing trade and also beginning to lend money with them. The declaration of war on Germany in 1917 was mostly influenced by German naval policy, although American economic interest and Woodrow Wilson's idealism did portray a part.

On February 1915, Germans created a submarine blockade in the British Empire's Ocean's, sinking several belligerent ships, which included the Lusitania. The United States then threatened the German Government causing them to back down. Later in February of 1917, Germany then declared unrestricted submarine warfare threatening the ideals of neutrality, commerce and security. The German U-Boats wanted to sink supply ships in order to starve the Britain islands of their goods. The German's naval policy was the major reason why the United States declared war on Germany. The sinking of the Lusitania was the biggest influence of American in WWI. It was so much of an influence that it was said without the sinking of the Lusitania, the United States most likely would not of entered the war.

Another reason for the entrance in the war was the American economic interest. Although it did influence the entrance of the United States in the war, it did not have such an impact that the German naval policy displayed. The United States had big economic investments with countries that were involved in the war such as Britain and France. If the United States would of lost these investments, they would not of been able to pay the debt back of two million dollars. If Allies would not of been able to pay back loans made by American bankers, the United State's economy could of collapses. France and England were financing their war with American loans and buying mass amounts of firearms from the United States on credit. The United States wanted to make sure they got paid back. America then made sure that the Allies won in order to prevent the collapses of their economy, even if it mean entering the war themselves.

Woodrow Wilson's ideals also played a role of America's decision to declare war on Germany. Wilson wanted to make the world safe for democracy and addressed this through his War Address to Congress. From Germany sinking the Lusitania, American's grew hatred towards Germany, hence giving Wilson the motivation to declare war on Germany. Although the German naval policy was the most influence on the war, it was not the only part. America also joined the war efforts in order to fight for the freedom against Germany. The United States may have let the Lusitania go down in history without a fight, but a moral sense had developed in Britain and France giving the United States motivation to declare war on Germany.

The German naval policy, American economic interest and Woodrow Wilson's idealism may have all caused the United States to declare war on Germany, but the major reason as to why war was declared onto Germany was the German naval policy. Without the dominance of German's in the British Isles trying to prevent goods from entering and the sinking of the Lusitania, the United States could not help but fight in the war efforts with all of the motivation created from the hatred towards the Germans.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor was the main thing that started the war

Although Japan did declare war on Germany in world war 1 they never actually mobilized any men. They did, however, send aid and supplies to other counties during the war.

World War I began on July 28, 1914, with the declaration of war by

Austria-Hungary on Serbia, and hostilities between the Allied and

Central Powers continued until the signing of the armistice on Nov.

11, 1918, a period of 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days. The aggregate

direct war costs of all the belligerents amounted to about $186

billion. Casualties in the land forces amounted to more than 37

million; in addition, close to 10 million deaths among the civilian

populations were caused indirectly by the war.

Due to the cost of WWI for all the countries involved many didn't have enough money to pay back countries that they had borrowed from during the war. Each country involved had their own war debt to pay and in Germany's case not only their own debt but the debt of all other European contries due to the agreement in the Treaty of Versailles. During this period of time in history the Industrial Revolution tied many countries, especially those that were Imperialists, together. In a sense the beginning of the global economy had began. This type of economy ties each country in the global economy together and therefore when one countries economy is suffering a domino type of effect occures, and each country tied to the affected economy will suffer in some way.

Japan participated in World War I from 1914 to 1918 in an alliance with Entente Powers and played an important role in securing the sea lanes in the West Pacific and Indian Oceans against the Imperial German Navy. Politically, Japan seized the opportunity to expand itssphere of influence in China, and to gain recognition as a great power in postwar geopolitics. Japan's military seized German possessions in the Pacific and East Asia, but there was no large-scale mobilization of the economy.

In December 1905, while the ship makers in Portsmouth were hard on work on the HMS Dreadnought, an ageing German general was putting the finishing touches to a plan of war. His name was Count Alfred Von Schlieffen, the most senior general in the German army.

Schlieffen was not at that moment intending to go to war. He was simply working out how Germany could fight her enemies if ever it became necessary.
As you know, Germany's main enemies were France and Russia, and this is what made Schlieffen's task difficult. If Germany fought France, Russia would attack Germany from the east. To protect the country, Schlieffen would then have to split his army into two and fight the war on two fronts - east and west. No general wants to do this because he can only use half an army to fight each enemy.

The plan that Schlieffen made in 1905 aimed to avoid a war on two fronts. He said that although the Russian armies were big, the roads and railways in Russia were so bad that the Russians would take six weeks to get into position for fighting Germany. So if war began,, the whole German army should invade France by travelling at high speed through Belgium and northern France to capture Paris. Having defeated France withing six weeks, the German army would them be sent to the other side of Europe to fight the Russians who would still be getting ready.
It was a simple plan but unfortunately it really made a war on two fronts even more likely. Schlieffen took it for granted that if Russia attacked Germany, France would also attack. But suppose that France decided not to help Russia, and to keep out of the war, the Plan meant that Germany would attack France anyway. Schlieefen had made sure that any war fought by Germany would be a big one.

Well, the turning points were different for the 3 countries. They all occurred in 1942. Italy had the war turn against them after defeats in North Africa. Japan after a series of naval defeats. Germany took a blow after the defeats in North Africa, but the turning point against Germany was after the Battle of Stalingrad.

The Allies fought against the Central Powers, which included Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria.

1. Alliance between France and Russia - 1892 2. Britain and France - 1904. 3. Britain and Russia - 1907. #1 was an alliance, #2 and #3 were loose and rather vague "understandings". The expression "Triple Entente" is a nickname. There was no single overarching alliance between Britain, France and Russia. The weaknesses of Russia in the Russo-Japanese-War of 1904-05 led military experts in Britain to doubt its status as a great power, and made British politicians reassess the British position in relation to the balance of power - in other words, led to Britain to becoming more pro-French in international affairs. Obviously, Britain was also antagonized by German naval rivalry.

The Triple Alliance was formed by Bismarck to isolate France. Bismarck was the Iron Chancellor of Germany. He established peaceful relations with Russia and England.

The blockade of British ports was part of the Continental System put in place by Napoleon in retaliation for the British naval blockade of the coastlines in France. The result of the blockade of British ports was not severe or long-lasting. It hurt Britain to a small degree, but not as much as Napoleon hoped.

In WW1 Bulgaria was an ally of Germany, Austia-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. The country was particularly keen to take Macedonia from Serbia. In a sense, Bulgaria was trying to fight a local, Balkan war under the cloak of a much wider war. Joncey
