Evaluation Of Sources Of World War One - 1975 Words

Daniel Tuesta Mr. Coriat Contemporary History 20 November 2016 Section A: Evaluation of Sources The beginning of World War One is due to a myriad of factors. The purpose of this investigation was to discuss and investigate one of these specific factors. How did growing militarism in Germany play a role in the start of World War 1? The reason I chose to investigate German militarization specifically is because of the massive domino effect that resulted from it leading to mass arms production throughout Europe. Eventually the major European powers became militarized in fear of an attack from their rivals or enemies. This mass scale militarization then set the stage for World War One and what was to come. The investigation will discuss the naval-races and armament races that were a result of European rivals trying to match each other’s respective militaries, the technological aspect behind these armament races, and the nationalistic and imperialistic ambitions of the German people that led to their initial militarization as a country. As one of my sources I will be using o ne of the Germans Kaiser speeches, as it is an excellent portrayal of the German’s imperialistic ambitions. Wilhelm’s speech is directed to the North German Regatta Association in 1901 in what is Hamburg Germany. The purpose behind Wilhelm’s speech is to expand the German Navy, as he believes the seas are the future of Germany. The increase in German Naval power leads to the Anglo-German Naval race, oneShow MoreRelatedAnnotated Bibliography On The Holocaust1275 Words   |  6 Pagesdied of incarceration and maltreatment.
