Causes of WWI
I have my History final tomorrow, and have to write an essay based on said subject.
Would anyone like to add their input into this to help?
Much appreciated

That bloke who was assinated - as far as I can remember he was important. And countries such as England France and Germany all wanted power and to be the best.

As I recall, there were a lot of treaties and alliances, so when a few countires decided to go at it, their allies were dragged in. But if this is for a class, don't you have a text book or something you can look this up in?

No, there was a Triple Entente (france, britain and russian) and Triple Alliance (Italy, Germany, Austria-Hungary) before the war.

I believe it involved the Balkans (sp?) and some treaties were broken because of territorial issues with saravejo. There was also the expansion of Ottoman Empire in the east.
That's what I can remenber at the moment.
*checks American history books*

Another reason for failure!!! Well the treaties didn't come in until later.

Aso, be sure to talk about the arm race between the countries at the time they were all builing an army, and thus tention between each other.

No. At the beginning of World War I, only two countries were at war: Serbia and Austria-Hungary. But Russia had an alliance with Serbia to protect them, so they declaired war against Austria-Hungary. Germany was an ally of Austria-Hungary throught the Tripple Alliance. France had already agreed that if Germany attacked Russia, France would declair war on Germany (The Franco-Russian Alliance), and so on.

Oh, Ok. Yet again the word 'failure' seems to linger. *sigh*
