Explain at least two causes of World War One ch5 lesson 1

1.) Mutual Defense Alliances

2.) Imperialism

Explanation:

1.) 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.

2.) Imperialism is when a country increases their power and wealth by bringing additional territories under their control, usually without outright colonizing or resettling them. The increasing competition and desire for greater empires led to an increase in confrontation that helped push the world into World War I.

frederick william of brandenburg-prussia trained his son, frederick, to be a hardy soldier. but frederick disliked rifle shooting and horseback riding. unlike his father, he was interested in french literature. he enjoyed poetry and music and, like some others of the enlightenment, he scoffed at religion. his father thought him soft, frivolous and unmindful of his duties. and when frederick refused to put his signature on a right to succession, for a few moments his father strangled him.
