1 GAMEPLAN Our nation plans to attempt to make alliances with the following nations: NATION REASON We will refuse to enter into alliances with the following nations: NATION REASON OUTCOME MEMBERS OF THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE MEMBERS OF THE TRIPLE ENTENTE MAKING CONNECTIONS In the space below, draw a concept web diagramming the alliances between the nations listed and the reasons for those alliances.

2 purposes. Military alliances were very common among the powerful nations of Europe leading up to the outbreak of the Great War. Such alliances often stated that if one of the nation involved FRANCE You and your group members will use the following information to discover the network of The kingdom of France has a long and storied tradition, and thus should have the respect of other nations especially those don t have the same proud tradition. Your nation has had some turbulent times in the last century, including a number of changes in power. This has caused your people to desire safety and security from their leaders. Not long ago you lost a war against Prussia, who has since organized the other German states into a unified country. This loss was very damaging to the French pride, and so was the peace agreement. You and your people would like nothing better than to get some payback against Germany. Traditionally, Britain or the United Kingdom, or England, whatever they re calling themselves these days has been your biggest rival. However, lately they ve employed a policy of isolationism and you ve got bigger problems. There s been some tension over who gets the rights to what in Africa, but they proved they re willing to work with you if money s involved. The location of a nation can be very important to Alliances with bordering countries provide protection and security to your people. enemies threaten their security give you a military advantage if war were to break out.

3 purposes. Military alliances were very common among the powerful nations of Europe leading up to the outbreak of the Great War. Such alliances often stated that if one of the nation involved GERMANY You and your group members will use the following information to discover the network of The unified nation of Germany, although relatively young in comparison to other European powers, has a strong and proud military tradition. After recently bringing together the independent German States, your industrialized nation has quickly risen to become one of the strongest economic and military powers in the world. The Franco-Prussian War has left the French very bitter and relations between you and those sore losers are cold. You know the French are out for revenge. Two powerful nations you d like on your side are Russia and Austria-Hungary. Unfortunately, it does not look like you ll be able to make agreements with both of them, since they are currently in conflict over influence in the Balkans. Keep in mind that ethnically, the Austrians are very similar to you and they are a weaker power than Russia and would thus be easier to control. You d like to make some sort of alliance with the United Kingdom, but they have used a policy of isolationism lately, preferring to stay out of the affairs of other countries. There might be some cause for concern that the United Kingdom recently sided with France over you in a dispute of colonial control in Africa. The location of a nation can be very important to Alliances with bordering countries provide protection and security to your people. enemies threaten their security give you a military advantage if war were to break out.

4 UNITED KINGDOM The kingdom of England is one of the oldest, proudest, and most respected in all of Europe. You have a proud heritage and a long-standing rivalry with the French. Now known as the United Kingdom, your nation has been at the forefront of liberal government and the industrial revolution. You re also one of the nations most involved with a policy of imperialism, and have had some misunderstandings with other imperialist nations such as France and Germany. Because of your economic success and the relative chaos in parts of the mainland, your country has been practicing a policy you like to call splendid isolationsim, meaning you think it best for you nation to stay out of the affairs of the other European nations. You ve also been the dominant naval power around the world for hundreds of years. You recently defeated Russia in order to protect your position of naval dominance. Germany has been building its naval fleet in an attempt to challenge your dominance of the seas. Why would they do that? If you notice that other nations are entering into alliances, you might want to reconsider your policy of isolationism before you get left on your own. plays a key role is your isolationist status and your naval superiority. Alliances with neighboring countries provide protection and security to your people. military advantage if war were to break out.

5 RUSSIA The Russian empire has strived for centuries to become more stable and more competitive with other European powers. Efforts to do this in recent years have not been successful, so it would be wise to make good decisions or your people might try to overthrow your government (again). A couple of decades ago you lost a war when Britain stepped in because they felt you were trying to threaten their dominance of European waters. You ve since regarded the incident as an embarrassment. In hopes of increasing your power within Europe, there s been a big push to industrialize and militarize Russia. Through a policy of conscription, you ve been able to amass the largest standing army in the world. In the spirit of both nationalism and imperialism, you ve agreed to an alliance with Serbia, protecting them from Austria- Hungary, because the Serbs have ethnic ties to your people and you have interest in controlling that area to gain access to the Mediterranean Sea. You once had an alliance with both Germany and Austria-Hungary, but backed out as the tension in the Balkans grew and Germany began to favor Austria. France has recently floated your nation several large loans to help you industrialize. Alliances with bordering countries provide protection and security to your people. military advantage if war were to break out.

6 AUSTRIA-HUNGARY The legacy of your kingdom can be traced all the way back to the fall of the Roman Empire, and you ve been able to maintain the stability of the monarchy for all these years. You are determined to keep and even expand your influence in the Balkans, especially in the state of Serbia. The Serbs have been asking Russia for help in gaining your assistance, leaving you extremely unhappy with the Russians. You do not have a large army in comparison to the other European powers, so it would be wise to create an alliance with a more powerful nation. You have recently lost a war against France. Your people are of a similar ethic and cultural heritage as the people of Germany. Germany has shown signs of taking your side in the dispute between you and Russia over the dispute in the Balkans. Alliances with bordering countries provide protection and security to your people. military advantage if war were to break out.

7 ITALY While the country of Italy is relatively young when compared to some of the powers of Europe, your heritage traces its roots the Roman Empire and has been the home of the Catholic Church and the Renaissance. You do not have a large army in comparison to the other European powers, so it would be wise to create an alliance with a more powerful nation. You ve had some recent disagreements with Austria-Hungary over territory and the border that you share with them. You also sided with France in war between them and Austria a fews decades ago. You hope to increase the power of your nation through a policy of imperialism in Africa. You recently had a dispute over the territory of Tunis in northern Africa. While on one hand, creating an alliance with Germany would certainly get your revenge on France. Conversely, France may be able to help you expand your other interests in northern Africa. Alliances with bordering countries provide protection and security to your people. military advantage if war were to break out.
