The assassination triggered alliances and declarations of war between European nations. The mix of militarism (which meant that the European countries were cocky because of so galore(postnominal) new weapons and technological advances and thought they could not lose), patriotism (which is extreme pride in a groups country), Imperialism (when countries wanted to expand there power), and Alliances (agreements between countries saying t hat they have there back). The main scrap happened at the western front and the eastern front. The western front consisted of France, Belgium, and Netherlands. The Eastern front consisted of Prussia, Poland, and Russia. There has been numbers suggesting that there were as much as 8 million military deaths and 6.6 million civilian deaths. The approximate cost in todays money is about $2.8 trillion. As I mentioned in the beginning the new technology and tactics made countries cocky, these new weapons and tactics also hurt countries too. A perfect example is trench warfare. Trench warfare caused many people to die because of the many dieses that were consumed by the soldiers from being in them for so long. The machines guns were newly created and many did not understand the workings of such weapons. There were ally and central powers, the allies consisted of Britain, France, Belgium, Russia, Italy, and the U.S. The Central powers consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and O ttoman Empire/Turkey. On November 11, 1918 the Treaty of Versailles was signed and ended the war. The Treaty of Versailles caused many penalties on the central powers, which in expound would help lead to World War II. 8.Analyze the causes and consequences of the Russian Revolution includinga.The lack of economic, political and social reforms under the tsarsb.The impact of World War 1c.The emergence of Lenin, Stalin and the Bolsheviksd.The rise of communism in Russia.In 1917 Russia had a revolution that changed the relations that Russia and the U.S. had.
