Could world war 1 have been avoided? 50 words total!! 20pts total!!!!

Answer 1

The start of WWI could not have been avoided.

At that time period (1914), all of Europe except for Switzerland and France were rule by Kings and Queens known as royal families. The general belief was these families were part of a higher class. They married within their class and in many cases, the rulers were related by blood. In effect they were ordained by God to rule their people.

Besides being the rulers of their countries, they were very wealthy. At the time there were a complex set of alliances where if one kingdom was attacked, its allies would rush to its aid.

The various royal families believed in having a strong military. The military served two purposes. First, would be as a strong defense and second would be as a supreme powerful offensive force.

Answer 2

World War One could have been prevented, if Archduke Franz Ferdinand had survived the assassin's bullet. Franz Ferdinand was the strongest spokesman for peace in Austria-Hungary. He believed that a war with Russia would lead to the downfall of both empires. On this day in 1914, Great Britain reluctantly declared war on Germany. This was also one of the few wars to be fought for no clear reason other than power itself. Most wars are fought over land grabs or irreconcilable differences between nations, be they religious, political or economic.
