world war
World War 1 is a dramatic point of the history of the world. This war that killed many people from all over the world started because of many causes. First cause of the war was European nations ruled smaller countries, called colonies, and they competed with each other to get more colonies. Second cause of the war was nationalism; many national groups united governments and formed countries. Uniting people under one government has disadvantage in Europe often a government ruled many nationalities and this was an important reason that caused the war.Militarism was another very important cause of the war. Many European leaders thought that fighting was the easier way to solve problems between them and other countries. Also the military leaders thought the stronger military usually got what it wanted. In a short amount of time all countries in Europe competed for the best military.

After the war was over president Wilson said don't blame Germany, when you make peace you don't blame anyone you just learn your lesson.

Another important point was that there would be freedom of seas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The third and the last reason why United States entered the war is Germany sent a letter to Mexico (Zimmerman note) that said that Germany asks Mexico to join them in a war against United States, United States somehow received that massage and now United States is really mad.
