WORLD WAR ONE

However, there were longer term causes, some that went back

many decades. Today we are going to look at these causes and

decide which were the most important.

LONG TERM CAUSESSort – Put the cards you have into chronological order (when

they happened). Not all cards will have a date, so ignore the ones

that don’t (for now).

• Discuss – In your groups find three examples of cards that are related causes. They might lead into each other or might be very similar.

• Discuss – What do you notice about the dates?

Discuss – Arrange your cards like this on the table, with most important at the top and least important at the bottom.
