One of the main causes of the first world war was the murder of Austrain Crown Prince Françoise Ferdinand and his wife on 28th july 1914, in Sarajevo which one of the city of Serbia, who was the heritier of the thron. Lately, it was found that the murderer was liked the secrete service of Serbia, Autria blamed serbian authority on this assassination. This issue was highly prioritized that they could not search one compemrise each other. Austria was hightly supproted by Hongery because of their cultural and economic interdependences which provocated the ultimeteum of war to Serbia. This threat played key role of the developemnt of war in the European continent and also creat the concept of two countries alliance against Serbia.
International Situation:
The economic situation of the Europe was much more better than other continents. The commerce was well developed and the scienfic creations were taken place one by onother. On the other hand, European members were negociating for the expension of commercial relations in the contient however there was not a huge suprenational integration as developed after second World War.
There were mainly three tensions between principal European countries:
1. Tention between France and Germany
There was a war between Germany and France on 1870 on the question of the colonialisme of the Maroc. Both of them were interested to capture Moroco but french colony was much more expanded than that of german. The influence of bilateral conflict was remained just before the first world was.
2. Tension between England and Germany:
Before 1990, German economy was based on the commerce and industry.As the time changed, its influence area has expanded to the see power, colonial power and army power which had a tendency disbalanced. On the point view of Great Bretian, Germany was trying to over take the british power. One example is that, Germany was interested on Turkey and middle east ( Irak).
3. Tension between Austria-Hongery and Russia:
Austra and Hongary were interested on the Balkans ( croatia, greece, macedonie etc) due to the composition of Austria, a country having a mixed culture with Balkans. But, Russia had provided financial help to Serbia, normally to the slaves of the southeren part of the Serbia.Thus, Russia would like to continue its influence to Balkens via Serbia. But, the solution was not so easy so that the dispute could be avoided.
By the consequences, different alliances were made under these intra country disputes.
Alliances
Under ongoing tension, two alliance were formed:
1. Group of Austria, Germany and Italy
2. Grooup of France, Russia and United Kingdom and Serbia
These two devided European groups, one for the Austia and the next for Serbi was the disequilibrem of the Bismarckian system which urged power balance perspective. One alliance came into force between Germany and Austria-Hongery nemed diplice which was defined Triplice when Italy entered on the alliance.
Bismark had tried to arrange this conflict with one accord with Russie and Austria. After Maismark, Guillaume II arrived on the german power who choosed Auasria, but not Russia. Even, bilateral relation between Germany and France was not satifactroy since the last war and the issue of L'orraine et l'Alsace. Finally, France and Germany formed one proper group with Great Bretain Because the basic necessicity of Great Bretain was the maritime and colonial power. On the other hand, Great Bretain was alerted with the increasing power of Germany who was interested to handshake with one country who could be emminent opponent of Germany, certainly, it was France.
An accord between France and Grande Bretagne is made on 1904 on the basis of bilateral cooperation in case of urgence. By the consequence, Grand Britaine gave legal status to the french colony in Marocco, and France to Egypt.
