Question

1. why did the allied powers single out germany when they were not the ones to assassinate archduke franz ferdinand?/¿por qué las potencias aliadas señalaron a alemania cuando no fueron ellas las que asesinaron al archiduque francisco fernando?

Explanation:

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was carried out by a Serbian nationalist group. However, Germany, as Austria - Hungary's ally, gave Austria - Hungary a "blank cheque" (unlimited support) to deal with the situation. Germany's aggressive foreign policy before World War I, such as its naval build - up and expansionist aims, made it a prime target for the Allied powers. Also, during the war, Germany was seen as the central and most powerful of the Central Powers. Its military actions, like unrestricted submarine warfare, which affected Allied shipping and civilian lives, further solidified its position as the main enemy in the eyes of the Allies.

Answer:

The Allied powers singled out Germany because of its role as Austria - Hungary's main supporter (the "blank cheque"), its pre - war aggressive foreign policy (e.g., naval build - up, expansionist aims), and its wartime actions (such as unrestricted submarine warfare) that were seen as more threatening and central to the conflict among the Central Powers.
