World War 1 Causes

Your task: Review the links to determine the primary causes of WWI, the nations involved and/or affected by the identified situation, and its result (other than the War itself).   I would set up a chart, but you can do what you'd like for whatever helps you. 

After you look at each link and get the idea see if you can summarize the causes in one world - for example - below - I would say Alliances. 

My chart would have three headings - Cause, country involved, and result.

Pay close attention to alliances

1879 - The Dual Alliance - what countries?
1881 - Austro-Serbian Alliance
1882 - The Triple Alliance - what countries?
1894 - Franco-Russian Alliance
1904 - Entente Cordiale - what countries?
1907 - Anglo-Russian Entente
1907 - Triple Entente - what countries?

What did these alliances mean for the world?

Imperialism Test

Hey 8th Graders,

What I would suggest you doing for this test is studying the pros and cons, the main ideas and effects of Imperialism.

The notes that you should be looking at deal with:

-Imperialism (weak vs. strong nations),
-What allowed America to become Imperialistic? (Industrialization) - yes that means prior material.
-White Man's burden and the ideas of Social Darwinism
-Hawaii annexation,
-Cuba,
-Spanish-American War,
-Philippine-American War,
-Open Door policy with China,
-Teddy Roosevelt
-Panama Canal


You will get one question.

For example:  I could ask something like - Evaluate the positives and negatives of American imperialism.

Then you will have to provide an answer.

Your answer to the question will be graded on the following attached rubric - read it if you'd like to know exactly how you should study.  Generally when a student reads the rubric they get a much better grade.

You MAY bring a standard 3x5 index card with terms and/or names written on it.  That's it.  No ideas, no definitions, or elaborations, etc...  Simply names/terms.  This is so you can be reminded of terms instead of having to remember them all but you must make the connections yourself and explain in detail using many terms.  Get a 3x5 card from me if you want to.  Don't bring any other size or you will have to recycle it.

Example of terms to put on the card plus a lot more. 

Spanish American War
Emilio Aguinaldo
Open Door Policy
China
Russo-Japanese War
White Man's Burden.

Example of what not to put on the card

Emilio Aguinaldo - Philippine rebel who wanted Philippine independence and fought the Spanish and the Americans to get it, etc...
