The reasons that cause world war one are Militarism, Imperialism, Nationalism, and The Alliance System. Militarism is when is when the military increases in size and establishments for example in WW1 (world war 1) so many new weapons were used by the military such as tanks, mustard gas, air plains and more. Imperialism is when a small country is ruled by a larger country like by the year of 1900 the British empire extended over five continents. Nationalism means devotion to the interest or culture of ones nation and it was showed in the war was when all of the countries try to show off. Last but not least The Alliance system was when two or more countries make a deal to take care of each other. The reason that sparked World War One was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the year of 1914. Archduke was the heir for the Austria-Hungarian throne.
There were two events that dragged America to world war one that got America very mad. One event was the sinking of the ship called "The Lusitania" that had 128 passengers in it. The Germans sinked it with their Submarine. Event number two is Called "The Zimmerman Telegram" it was when Germany was sending a telegram to mexico saying if they help the central power they will get them all of the counties that america took from them. That pulled the trigger to Americas gun and they knew that they needed to declare war.
In the year of 1918 our president Woodrow Wilson spoke the 14 points. These point declared freedom for the seas also reduced arguments. The War has ended and the central powers won (Germany,Austria- Hungary, Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria). The Treaty Of Versailles is the peace settlement that got signed after the war. It was bitter on Germany because they had to par for "causing the war". The Americans went back to isolationism because they were sad with the huge amount of cost of World War 1 also the little assistance that they got for involving in it. I think that between the years of 1920 and 1930 the countries still had some arguments that they didn't solve.
