Essay (20 POINTS)

41. What set the stage for war to erupt in Europe prior to WWI? In your answer
describe the four MAIN causes of WWI and include what specific event sparked the war.

All the major powers in the early 20th century were pursuing MAIN (M_________, A_________,
I_____________, and N____________), this led to increased competition between nations and
building resentment and distrust. When the Archduke or Austria-Hungary Franz Ferdinand was
assassinated by a Serbian radical and Austria-Hungary’s subsequent invasion of the country of
Serbia occurred, virtually all the major powers vying for power viewed the invasion as an
opportunity to try and gain more land and power by joining the winning side. IT is the assassination
of Franz Ferdinand that sparks WWI and the subsequent secret and public alliances being triggered.
