Chapter Introduction!


This blog is about chapter 27: World War I. The "Great War" as it is sometimes called, was a turning point in history, and one of the most significant wars ever. Europe will never again be the same after the ending of this war. This blog will cover significant figures and events that happened during this horrific war. It will shed light on specific aspects of World War I and how the entire world was affected by it.

Essential Question: What caused the Great War?

Answer: There were actually several events that led to World War I, including the Balkan wars, the Moroccan Crises, and the many different alliances that different nations were involved in at the time. The immediate spark, however, was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Austria declared war on Serbia exactly one month after this tragic event.
