What was happening in Europe?
• Despite more than 40 years of general peace, tensions among some European nations—England, France and Germany—were building in 1914. Throughout the late 1880’s and early 1900’s, a number of factors created problems among the powers of Europe and set the stage for a monumental war.

ImperialismTrying to build up an empire. By the
1800’s, Britain and France had colonies in Africa and Asia that provided raw materials and markets for their products. Germany
wanted its own colonies and trade

Nationalism

The Balkan Crisis
![Page 13: Ap ch. 24 wwi](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052400/5598406d1a28ab04218b456c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Historically, the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had ruled the Balkans. But as nationalism became a powerful force in the 1800’s, the different national groups—the Serbs, Bosnians, Croats and Slovens-- within these empires began to press for independence.
• The first to gain independence were the Serbs—they formed Serbia.
![Page 14: Ap ch. 24 wwi](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052400/5598406d1a28ab04218b456c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Russia supported Serbia, BUT Austria-Hungary did not and annexed Bosnia

The Serbs were furious-it demonstrated to them that Austria-Hungary had no intention of letting
the Slavic people become independent.
• So then the archduke of Austria-Hungary Franz Ferdinand visited the Bosnia capital of Sarajevo and was assassinated by a Serbian.

American Neutrality
• When the fighting began, President Wilson declared the US to be neutral. However, that was difficult to do.
• Why????
![Page 22: Ap ch. 24 wwi](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052400/5598406d1a28ab04218b456c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• We were a country of immigrants—different opinions.
• There were over 8 million Germans living here and over 4.5 million Irish.
• Most Americans did side with the Allied Powers.
• Propaganda played a very important role. Both sides used propaganda to influence the US to enter on either side.

Although most supported the Allies and hoped for their victory, a series of events gradually eroded American neutrality and drew the nation in to the war firmly on the
side of the Allies.

Unrestricted Submarine Warfare• Shortly after the war began, the British
deployed their navy to blockade Germany and keep it from obtaining supplies, as well as plant mines in the North Sea.
![Page 29: Ap ch. 24 wwi](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052400/5598406d1a28ab04218b456c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Germany countered that action by deploying its newest vehicle in their navy—the U Boats-short for Unterseeboot—meaning “underwater boat”. They announced that they would attempt to sink without warning any ship they found in the water around Britain.

Lusitania • On May 7, 1915, despite warnings from
Germany, the British passenger liner Lusitania entered the war zone. A submerged German submarine fired on the ship, killing nearly 1,200 passengers including 128 Americans. Americans were outraged.
![Page 32: Ap ch. 24 wwi](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052400/5598406d1a28ab04218b456c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• President Wilson remained neutral. He sent a diplomatic team to Germany to negotiate terms of unrestricted submarine warfare. The next year Wilson’s policy was tested when another u boat torpedoed the French passenger ship the Sussex. Americans were injured on board. He sent another team of diplomats to Germany and stated that if Germany does not stop sinking passenger ships, the US would enter the war. Germany agreed to stop.

Zimmerman Letter• British intelligence intercepted a telegram from a
German official to the German ambassador in Mexico. In it Zimmerman urges Mexico to declare war on the US and Germany will help it regain lost territory in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Americans were furious with Germany. Then in 1917, Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare, sinking 6 American merchant ships without warning.
• In 1917 Wilson asks Congress to declare war.
