From the Paper:

"For over twenty years prior to the beginning of the war European countries had been making alliances with each other to promote peace. There were two major alliances the Triple Alliance consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy and the Triple Entente consisting of Great Britain, France, and Russia. The second major reason was in the theory of "Militarism" which is the building up of the military forces. The more one nation built up its army and navy, the more other nations felt they had to do the same. The final main cause that led to World War I was the new imperialistic view that countries were obtaining. France and Britain had the largest number of colonies throughout the world and now Germany and Italy wanted a piece of the action. Serbia was a main interest to the countries in both of the alliances. Austria wanted to dominate the Balkans and suppress Serbia because they were starting to lose the power that they once had."
