The Long-Term and Immediate Causes of World War I

In this history essay, the student takes a look at the causes of World War I, including the Balkan Crisis (the tinderbox of Europe; the student remarks on the late twentieth century conflict in the region as well), and the alliance system motivated by imperialism and nationalism. The student agrees with historians who reject placing all blame on Germany; rather, Europe "slithered" toward war over the course of many decades, a situation the student argues continues to hold relevant lessons for today.
