Worksheet Marching Towards War

Do Now: Should you always support an ally?

Notes: The Great War, 1914–1918


Several factors lead to World War I, a conflict that devastates Europe and has a major impact on the world.



In Europe, military buildup, nationalistic feelings, and rival alliances set the stage

for a continental war.



Marching Toward War

The Rise of Nationalism

• Europe enjoys peace in late 1800s but problems lie below the surface

• Growing nationalism leads to competition among nations

• Nationalism in the Balkans leads many groups to demand independence



Imperialism and Militarism

• Competition for colonies stirs mistrust among European nations

• Mutual animosity spurs European countries to engage in arms race

• Militarism—policy of glorifying military power, preparing army



Bismarck Forges Early Pacts

• Germany’s Otto von Bismarck works to keep peace in Europe after 1871

• Believes France wants revenge for loss in 1870 Franco-Prussian War

• Seeks to isolate the French with a series of treaties and alliances:

-signs treaty with Russia in 1881

-forms Triple Alliance—Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy—in 1882



Shifting Alliances Threaten Peace

• Kaiser Wilhelm II becomes German ruler in 1888

• Foreign policy changes begin in 1890 with dismissal of Bismarck

-alliance with Russia dropped; Russia then allies with France

-effort to strengthen German navy, which alarms Britain

• Britain, France, Russia form Triple Entente alliance in 1907



Crisis in the Balkans -A Restless Region

• Many groups in Balkans win independence during early 1900s

• New nation of Serbia made up largely of Slavs

• Austria-Hungary annexes Slavic region—Bosnia and Herzegovina (1908)

• Serbia outraged, sees itself as rightful ruler of these Slavic lands



A Shot Rings Throughout Europe

• Serbian rebel kills Austro-Hungarian royal official in June 1914

• Austria declares war on Serbia; Russia comes to aid of Serbia

Make up HW #3-2

Write a letter at least one page in length to Mahatma Gandhi. Ask him three questions about his life. Tell him how important he is in today's world.

Aim: What was the Mexican War?

Notes:
Mexican War (1846-1848)
United States Versus Mexico over Texas

Territorial Expansion
Territory- land, or an area of land
Expansion-process of enlargement: the process of increasing, or increasing something, in size, extent, scope, or number


Texas
In 1835 residents of Texas started a war to gain their independence from Mexico. One of the war’s most famous battles occurred at The Alamo, a simple chapel that formed part of a Spanish mission. A group of 187 Texan rebels retreated to The Alamo on February 23, 1836. The Mexicans laid siege to the chapel for 12 days, until March 6, when The Alamo finally fell.



Battle of The Alamo

In February 1836, 187 Texans under the command of Colonel William Barrett Travis held off 4000 Mexican troops led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna at a former Spanish mission called The Alamo. The adobe structure served as a fortress for the Texans, who were fighting to gain their independence from Mexico. The Mexican artillery eventually succeeded in punching a hole in The Alamo’s thick walls on March 6. In the savage hand-to-hand fighting that followed, all the Texans, including Davy Crockett and James Bowie, were killed.
Mexican War

A war between the United States and Mexico, lasting from 1846 to 1848. The war resulted in a U.S. victory and forced Mexico to give up all claims to half its national territory. Mexico had already lost control of its northeastern territory as a result of the Texas Revolution (1835-1836). This land, combined with the territory Mexico ceded at the end of the war, would form the future U.S. states of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah, as well as portions of the states of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.

What did this war do to Mexico?

Lost Land

Lost Soldiers

Lost Money on the war

Was shown to be weaker than the United States

What did this do to Mexico?

Mexico’s territorial losses signified the end of any likelihood that Mexico, rather than the United States, would become the predominant power in North America. As the first conflict in which U.S. military forces fought almost exclusively outside of the country, the Mexican War also marked the beginning of the rise of the United States as a global military power.

Exam Review Imperialism

http://www.slideshare.net/aarreola/imperialism-ppt-presentation

Aim: What was U.S. Economic Imperialism?

South America




American Protection or Interference?

Amid the various Latin American independence movements in the early 1800s, the United States issued the Monroe Doctrine in 1823. This stated that any attempt by a European power to reassert control over a rebellious colony in South America would be viewed as a threat to the United States which had only recently won its independence from Great Britain. While the U.S. did not have the military prowess necessary to repel Spain or Portugal in 1823, Great Britain was only too pleased to lend its support in order to gain access to the lucrative South American markets that it had been denied under mercantilism.

While the Monroe Doctrine may have seemed to protect the young nations being created in South America in the 1800s, it also set a precedent for U.S. interference in the region.



Spanish-American War

After winning the Spanish-American War in 1898, the U.S. gained control of Spanish colonial possessions in Asia and South America. While Cuba and Puerto Rico were soon given a measure of autonomy, the U.S. still reserved the right to intervene in their affairs when it best suited the national interests of the United States.



Roosevelt Corollary

As President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt issued an extension to the Monroe Doctrine that essentially stated that only the U.S. would be allowed to intervene in South America. With European nations trying to collect on bad debts in South American nations, the U.S. actually took over trade in areas in order to provide prompt payment to their creditors.



Panama Canal

A canal corridor between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean served the national interests of the United States. The U.S. went so far as to provide aid to the rebelling province of Panama in its bid for independence from Colombia. In exchange, the U.S. was able to dig, maintain, and control access through the canal until 1999 when its lease expired, requiring its return to the Panama government
