Before the World War I, all nations were self-absorbed in improving their own country and what it had to offer. Imperialism also was a key factor before the WWI started and imperialism was taking place is some area of the world. While the countries were building up their power they made alliances with other nations so that they would not have to worry about battling them. Also almost every country’s army was building and growing stronger due to the technological advancements. All this commotion of each country building stronger and stronger to strive to become the strongest nation in the world led to the killing of Ferdinand which was one of the key aspects leading to world war one.

What do you mean by improving "what they had to offer?" If they actually were doing this, then can you give some examples of how? Also, what benefits came from these improvements?
ReplyDeleteCountries were not only building alliances to make sure they stayed at peace with the allied country, but also to know that they have protection from that country in case another country decides to attack them.
You also made the claim that the increasing strength of European nations led to the death of Franz Ferdinand, can you explain that connection? I agree that Franz Ferdinand's death was a big part of the beginning of WWI, but i don't see how a more powerful Europe led to a dead Franz Ferdinand.
