Causes of the World War I & and World War II

Although I claim there are numerous causes have been revealed for World War I and World War II. The world has gone through serious bloodshed that resulted in a huge number of people dead and displaced. Many developments have taken place after the wars, if we think of war third time it will lead this world into dark days forever. The primary causes of the world wars are imperialism, militarism, nationalism, and other crisis like Germany invaded Norway. There is a need to study the causes so that it should not happen again. (“World War II History”, n.d.)

Imperialism is a situation when a country tries to the new areas or lands. By 1900 the Britishers had acquired more than five new regions as well as the control by France on vast regions of the African continent. Due to the ascent of industrialism, various countries conquered new marketplaces. The area "claimed" by France and Britain extended the contention through Germany who tried to mess up everything to obtain states and also regions of Africa.

Militarism here is known as the military powers or the armed forces are given an outstanding administration. Because of increasing gap between European nations had provoked a race for weapons among the principle countries. The military forces of Germany and France had radically enlarged the area within 1870 and 1914 and this resulted in furious jealousy among Germany and Britain for the authority of the seas.

Nationalism implies to be a strong sponsor for the betterment and rights of a nation. The Vienna’s Congress expected to deal with issues in Europe. Strong loyalist element provoked the restoration of Italy (1861) and Germany (1871). The resolution for the end of the war resulted in France very angry for the loss of Alsace-Lorraine to Germany and strengthens them to quickly recuperate the regions lost. (“World War One”, n.d.)

Even after facing bloodshed for two times, still, nations are finding loopholes and influencing other nations to fight for the blood. Along with the three causes discussed, there are many other causes which need an awareness of people.
