Part 1: Completing the MANIA Table (WWI Causes)
M (Militarism)
- What does it stand for?
The policy of building up strong military forces to prepare for war and glorifying military power.
- Examples
Germany and Britain’s naval arms race (e.g., Germany developing U - boats, Britain expanding its Royal Navy); countries like France and Russia modernizing their armies.
A (Alliances)
- What does it stand for?
Agreements between countries to support each other in case of war (defensive or offensive pacts).
- Examples
Triple Entente (France, Russia, Britain) and Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria - Hungary, Italy); smaller alliances like Serbia - Russia ties.
I (Imperialism)
- What does it stand for?
The policy of powerful nations extending control over weaker territories (colonies) for resources and prestige.
- Examples
Britain and France’s colonial empires in Africa/Asia; Germany’s desire for colonies (e.g., in Africa) to compete with other powers.
N (Nationalism)
- What does it stand for?
Extreme pride in one’s nation, often leading to rivalry or ethnic tensions.
- Examples
Serbian nationalism (desire to unite Slavic peoples, leading to tensions with Austria - Hungary); German nationalism fueling expansionist goals.
A (Assassination)
- What does it stand for?
The triggering event of WWI: the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
- Examples
The 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria - Hungary by Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo.
Part 2: US Entry into WWI
What is Neutrality?
A policy of not taking sides in a conflict; the US initially aimed to stay out of WWI (1914 - 1917) to focus on domestic issues and trade with all sides.
Naval Blockade and Unrestricted Submarines
- Explanation
Britain blockaded German ports (cutting off supplies), so Germany used unrestricted submarine warfare (sinking any ship near Britain, including neutral US vessels). This violated US neutrality and trade rights, angering Americans (e.g., German U - boats sank US merchant ships).
The Sinking of the Lusitania
- Explanation
In 1915, a German U - boat sank the British passenger liner Lusitania (carrying US citizens and war materials). Over 1,000 died, including 128 Americans. This outrage turned US public opinion against Germany, pushing the US closer to war (though it didn’t enter immediately).
