Causes of WW1


This political cartoon represents an Alliance, which is one of the Causes of World War One. An Alliance is defined as a union or agreement between two or more countries stating that they will have each other's back and be on their side. Within this political cartoon, you see that Austria is threatening Serbia, therefore; Russia goes after Austria because Russia has an Alliance made with Serbia. There is an Alliance between Serbia, Russia, and France. And an Alliance between Austria, Germany, etc.

The United States had entered World War One because of The Sinking of the Lusitania, The Zimmerman Telegram, Economic ties to European power, and The Russian Revolution. These all were reasons why The United States joined the war.
