Causes of World War 1 


There was no single event that precipitated World War I. The conflict was sparked by a series of events that occurred in the years running up to 1914. Some of the events that contributed to the war were as follows:

1. Germany's New International Expansion Policy: In 1890, Wilhelm II, the new German Emperor, launched an international policy aimed at transforming his country into a global force. Germany was viewed as a danger by all other powers, destabilising the international situation.

2. Mutual Defense Alliance: Mutual defence agreements have been signed by countries all throughout Europe. These agreements said that if a country was attacked, the Allies would defend it. At the time, some of the alliances were –

  • Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy are linked by the Triple Alliance of 1882.
  • In 1907, the Triple Entente (Britain, France, and Russia) came to an end.
  • As a result, Europe had two rivals.

3. Imperialism: Prior to World War I, sections of Africa and Asia were the subject of raw resource disputes between European governments. Increased competition and a desire for additional empires exacerbated the war, leading to the outbreak of World War I.



4. Militarism: As the world entered the twentieth century, the weapons race began. Germany's military manufacturing had increased by 1914. During this time, both countries built up their warships. This rise in the army aided the warring nations' progress.

5. Nationalism: The conflict began because the Slavic peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina desired to be a part of Serbia rather than Austria-Hungary. As a result, nationalism became a source of conflict.



6. Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination: During a visit to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina in June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was shot and killed. He was slain by a Serbian guy who wanted Serbia to dominate Bosnia rather than Austria. As a result, Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia. As a consequence:
  • Because of its connection with Serbia, Russia decided to participate.
  • Germany declared war on Russia.
  • Belgium's Attack is Neutral. The Great Britain declares war on Germany and agrees to defend Belgium and France.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
