How did nationalism, imperialism, and militarism lead to WWI?

These were all properties of the Nazi movement, or Nazi Party, as it became.  Nationalism, the assumption that one's own nation is somehow more valuable or right than any other, was used to manipulate what had been a justifiable German pride, turning it into a negative thing. (Not "we are great," but "everyone else is worthless.")  Imperialism then followed rather inevitably from that: if the people of other countries are worthless or inferior, why not take them over, to improve them by making them German?  Militarism was then needed to achieve that goal, and Hitler assembled amazingly large and well-disciplined armies to carry out his imperialist purposes.  The war came, then, because the countries invaded did not just roll over and play dead, but fought back.

B-definitely\nBy the end of th 19th century almost all of Africa and Asia were control ed by both Britain and French hands, and the Caribbean has been a European possession for hundreds of years.  The control of Asia and Africa by the French and British was one of the main causes of the first world war, as Germany was forced to take possession of the most undesirable locations.  This was a root cause of the rivalry that lead to WWI.

That is a huge question...It can be said to lead all the way back to the Treaty of Versailles ending WWI. \n\nTry this. It's concise. http://ehistory.osu.edu/wwii/timeline.cfm

I would check out the first link for a time line of events during the 1920's.  Then maybe search http://www.wikipedia.com for information about each event.\n\nThe British Empire started a long time before 1920, so you might need to start at the beginning to find out why they started out to conquer the world.\n\nCheck out the second link too.  It might help.

Well, you have to realize that after WWI, Germany was plunged into a deep depression. Both economy and morale were virtually nonexistent, and they were deeply humiliated by their loss. But then along came Hitler, who was, by all accounts, an excellent politician. He was a magnanimous speaker who told the German people exactly what they wanted to hear. He raised both morale using a sense of nationalism, and the economy, using the "common man" (I think he focused mostly on farmers). Even the anti-semitism made sense at the time; they felt like they needed SOMEONE to blame for all their hardship, and Hitler gave them one. It was in this fashion that he managed to seize power; Germany was putty at his feet. There were obviously a select few who did find something wrong with the regime, but these were exceptions, rather than the rule. \n\nPoint is, Hitler knew what the hell he was doing. He was brilliant, plain and simple. Of course, he was also very wrong in the head. He had skewed ideals regarding other races, he wildly misinterpreted Nietzsche (although to be fair, just about everyone does), and his intentions were nothing short of evil. But he was brilliant. Taking all these factors into account, it kind of makes you wonder how anyone in Germany COULD think their government was wrong.

Contrary to popular belief, the assassination of Ferdinand did not start WWI.  There were other factors which were already in place, his death was simply an excuse for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to declare war.  Germany offered them a "blank check" and Austria took this to mean the Germans would assist them.  It was only when the Germans violated the neutrality of Belgium that the War really got going.  If you want more info on the causes, one of my favorite resource on the topic is www.firstworldwar.com.  A link to the specific page with the causes listed it: http://www.firstworldwar.com/origins/causes.htm\n\nHope this helps!

The First World War, or (before 1939) the Great War, was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice on November 11, 1918. The Allied Powers (led by the United Kingdom, France and until 1917 Russia , and, after 1917, the United States) defeated the Central Powers (led by the German Empire, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire). \n\nThe Allies won.

After WWI, Germany was feeling very low. They needed a leader to raise their spirits, their nation's pride. Then, somehow, an Austrian born got the power (of course not with democratic way, but seeming legal) and re-established the pride in the minds of the masses.

After WWI the victors forced Germany to pay reparations from the war. This forced Germany into a huge defecit and resulted in the rising of Hitler. After WWII many learned the lesson from WWI and determined that we should provide assistance to the countries most devastated by the war, one being Japan. America and other countries provided money and instituted a democracy in Japan. The people of Japan were able to take advantage of this and rise to become the nation they are today.

Even before World War I, citizens of the Russian Empire were beginning to grow uneasy with the direction the Empire was going. This is particularly true for the peasants and the most notably, the intellectuals, who felt they were being oppressed.\nDuring World War I,  the Russian Empire suffered many serious military defeats. These misfortunes along with the downward moving economy help spur riots through the country, especially in major cities. \nIn 1917 the Bolsheviks (under the command of Lenin) led a revolution against Czar Nikolai II and seized power in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Later Czar Nikolai II and most of his family were executed. Afterwards they changed their name to the Communist Party. However they weren’t in power yet. Shortly thereafter a civil war ensued between the Bolsheviks and supporters of the monarchy. The Bolsheviks won and this lead to the forming of the Soviet Union in 1922. \n\n\n(So, I believe that is exactly 150 words.)\n\nOh F-U-C-K YOU  CHINA?????? I just spent 30 minutes writing this! (Partly my fault that I needed so long, I thought it was supposed to be 250 words, so I went into WW II as well. LOL)\n\nI'd better get best answer anyway.

During the 1930s, Germany, Italy, and Japan tried to build world empires at the expense of others.  This resulted in a world war as other nations attempted to stop them.  World War II was the most destructive war in human history and became a turning point in history as is resulted in the division of the world into two competing political ideologies: Democracy and Communism.\n\nRise of Fascism\nFascism is the rule of a people by a dictatorial government that is both nationalistic and imperialistic.  Fascist are also anti-communist.  Fascism rose in Italy and Germany due to a severe economic depression that caused widespread poverty.  Benito Mussolini in Italy, and Adolf Hitler in Germany both promised solutions to these problems, and were able to win the support of the masses as they took absolute control over their countries.  Imperialistic goals in Italy, Germany, and Japan resulted in the start of World War II. \n\nThe War\nGermany, Italy, and Japan formed the Axis Powers and waged war against the Allies, composed of Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union.  The war was waged across the globe, with major battles taking place in Europe, North Africa, and various Pacific Islands.  War in Europe ended after the destruction of Germany in the Spring of 1945, and ended in the Pacific after the United States dropped two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in August of that same year.  World War II is a turning point because it marks the beginning of the Nuclear Age, and because it resulted in the creation of the two Superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States. \n\nRebuilding Japan and Germany\nRather than repeat the mistake made by the Versailles Treaty which severely punished Germany for World War One, the allies occupied and rebuilt Japan and Germany. During this occupation, democratic governments were established and infrastructure destroyed during the war was rebuilt. West Germany and Japan would go on to become very competitive economically, often being ranked and compared to the United States.\n\nColonialism Ends\nAfter World War Two, self-determination was extended beyond Europe to regions across the world. Former colonial possessions of European nations such as India and French Indochina became sovereign nations, establishing their own governments.\n\nDemocracy vs. Communism\nAfter the war, the United States and other democratic nations formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which was a military alliance against communism.  The Soviet Union, which had gained control of most of Eastern Europe during the war, formed the Warsaw Pact, a military alliance against NATO.  This period of conflict between democratic and communist countries is known as the Cold War.  The two Superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, dominated world events for nearly 50 years after the end of the war.
