European nations built larger militaries than ever before Too much testosterone! War was inevitable

The Spark Austria-Hungary heir, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, killed by Serbian radicals Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia Russia was allies with Serbia Germany allies with Austria-Hungary so Germany declares war on Russia Central Powers Austria-Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, Ottoman Empire (Turkey) Allied Powers Britain, France, Italy, & Russia

America Enters the War German U-boat sank the Lusitania, a British passenger ship, holding 128 Americans; Germans broke international law The President, Woodrow Wilson, prolonged U.S. neutrality and wanted world peace Zimmerman telegram German foreign minister wrote a confiscated note to Mexico which proposed an alliance between the two against U.S. outraged Americans from isolationism to saving the day!

Americans Arrive Russia leaves (Civil War breaking out at home; govt. overthrown by communists) Battles fought on fronts (ex. western & eastern) Germans losing too many men & supplies = defeat!

Armistice truce Germany becomes a republic Germany leaves all foreign occupied territories German war resources were destroyed (including U-boats)
