WWI (Part 1)

How the following factors lead to war:

1) Imperialism:  as a result of it, intense rivalries among various nations arose across the globe.

2) Militarism:  military expansion simply made war inevitable, for, it sparked tension among numerous countries on a national scale.

3) Nationalism:  nationalistic nations often acted on behalf of their own interest, completely ignoring that of neighboring nations and harming them as a result.  This only served to heighten resentment and the potential for combat among the nations.

4) Alliances:  once a nation began to have issues with another, a domino effect was initiated; the nations' allies were dragged into the conflict, blowing it out of proportion and igniting a war.
