How big was Germany's empire in World War 1?
Germanys empire was in WW1 because of the alliances the other countries had.
5 causes of world war 1?
The proximate cause was the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian separatist. The deeper historical cause was the continued dispute between Germany and France about which country owned the province of Alsace-Lorraine. Other contributing causes included the formation of vast military alliances in Europe, and increasing attitudes of nationalism and militarism. At the time, nobody really knew how destructive such a war would be, and the people who went to war had a foolish over-confidence in the ability of their own alliance to win the war easily. The thinking was that our own big alliance would make for easy victory, rather than that big alliances on both sides would make for a very big, very destructive conflict. But the world found out the hard way.
How did the alliances help cause world war 1?
The alliance system(s) caused World War 1 because they drew more countries into war. Without the alliances, we probably still would've had a world war because alliances weren't the only reason for war. There was also, militarism, imperialism, and nationalism that helped out. :D
What were BIG causes of World War 1?
The proximate cause of WW1 is the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. There are four main causes of the starting of WW1. They were Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, and Nationalism.

Imperialism is when the countries competed to control other colonies, and nationalism is the devotion to your nation. These are the four main causes of WW1.
