Paper Summary:

This paper examines why nationalism and imperialism are thought to be major causes for the outbreak of the First World War. The paper continues by explaining the balance of power in the state system. The paper concludes with the impact of the Great Powers and the competition between them.

From the Paper:

"In may respects the First World War can be viewed as a traditional earthquake war within a balance of power state system. In such a state system, wars are usually limited and contained by the balance of power itself. A Great Power bidding for hegemony is liable to find itself confronting a coalition of its peer rivals; the other Great Powers."
