✒ 5 main causes of World Wars are :-

1. Mutual Defense Alliances

• Countries throughout the world have always made mutual defense agreements with their neighbors, treaties that could pull them into battle.
• These treaties meant that if one country was attacked, the allied countries were bound to defend them.
• Before World War 1 began, the following alliances existed -Russia and Serbia, Germany and Austria-Hungary and France and Russia.

2. Imperialism

• Imperialism is when a country increases their power and wealth by bringing additional territories under their control.
• Usually without outright colonizing or resettling them.
• Before World War I, several European countries had made competing imperialistic claims in Africa and parts of Asia, making them points of contention.

3. Militarism

• By 1914, Germany had nearly 100 warships and two million trained soldiers.
• Great Britain and Germany both greatly increased their navies in this time period.
• Further, in Germany and Russia particularly, the military establishment began to have a greater influence on public policy.
• This increase in militarism helped push the countries involved into war.

4. Nationalism

• Much of the origin of the war was based on the desire of the Slavic peoples in Bosnia and Herzegovina to no longer be part of Austria-Hungary but instead be part of Serbia.
• This specific essentially nationalistic and ethnic revolt led directly to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, which was the event that tipped the scales to war.

5. Immediate Cause: Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand

• The immediate cause of World War I that made the aforementioned items come into play (alliances, imperialism, militarism, and nationalism) was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary.
• In June 1914, a Serbian-nationalist terrorist group called the Black Hand sent groups to assassinate the Archduke.
