Question

Describe how the Central Powers and Allies contributed to starting WWI.

Answer 1

Possible Answers:

The Syrian Congress was asking for independence with the right to self-rule.

The Congress asked for no foreign interference with the ruling of Syria.

The Congress asked that a Jewish state not be established near Syria.

European powers might have expected such a response because the League of Nations covenant was made public.

Austrian leaders then issued an ultimatum with Serbia. When Serbia rejected one of its terms, Austria declared war on Serbia. Then, the Russian government mobilized troops to defend Serbia. Germany also gave an ultimatum to France, demanding to know France’s intentions if Germany went to war with Russia. The Germans did not gain their desired response from these countries, which they then declared war on Russia and later, France.

The U.S. became involved in WWI due to Germany resuming the use of unrestricted submarine warfare in February of 1917. This practice enraged the U.S. prior to this event. Germany resumed this practice with the intention of attacking Great Britain because the British had a blockade that threatened to starve the Central Powers. At this time, the American public and leadership was invested in Allied victory.

The League of Nations was an attempt to avoid future conflicts and bring peace among nations. The Covenant of the League of Nations was made the integral part of peace treaties, and every signatory to a peace treaty had to accept this new world organization. The League of Nations; however, was not successful in maintaining peace. Consequently, the League of Nations inspired the creation of the United Nations.
