... 1st World War Started: 1914 - 1918 The reasons why the war started: - many Slav countries became independent and Austria-Hungary feared that the inside of Austria-Hungary will be collapsed, so they took over Bosnia in 1908 (Serbs were annoyed and had a society called 'Black Hand', in which Gavrilo Princip killed the Archduke) - the assassination of Archduke (Austria-Hungary) in Sarajevo by a Serb - Austria launched the war with Serbia, which means the start of the Great War - Russia want the channel of the sea route to the Mediterranean - Germany tried to bread the allies between France and Britain by provoking crises of Morocco, but he succeeded just bringing them more closer together and more anti-german - Kaiser Wilhelm II didn't want war, but he made more enemies than friends - Kaiser Wilhelm II let France and Russia form an alliance - German's plans were to attack France, through Belgium (3.August, 1914) - Expanding navies in Germany
