Political causes of first world war
Answers
Well a number of reasons come to mind but the core thing was rivalry...
There were some territorial disputes between russia and the ottoman empire.
Germany thought that russia could become a big military power so if there was a need for war then the sooner the better.
France thought that germany will become a huge power, so the sooner the war the better (sigh).
Britain thought that if russia and france won against germany and austria-hungry, then the colony of india would be in danger.
Some disputes between the balkans and russians.
And ofcourse the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
The most important thing was that from the last 30 odd years( before world war 1), almost whole europe was witnessing industrial revolution and the were able to manufacture alot of weaponry which was needed to be used somewhere.
Due to the Industrial revolution, the capitalist economies became wealthier and wealthier....and u might know this but WAR BECOMES A NECESSITY WHEN A CAPITALIST ECONOMY IS DEVELOPED.
WAR THEORY- war theory at that time stated that if you want to fight then fight so much that there sould not be a scope left for another war.
FYI- these are the very few reasons for the first great war, otherwise there are alot of them.
