World War I was completely unavoidable. The Secret Alliances caused tension among the world. This split the Europe into two hostile sides. Alliances involved mutual defence agreements which caused many countries to take a part in the war. In some countries, the government was mainly focused on militarism. Countries built large armies and navies to attack others and defend themselves. Military officers dominated the civil authorities who made the decitions. Nationalsim, the love for one's country, took large part in this unavoidable war. This caused hatred between countries. The pride of the people, patriots, would not let another country dominate. World War I was unavoidable due to the Secret Alliances, militarism and nationalism.

The World War one could be avoid.Alot of countries become allies.Such as Italy,Moroco...were allies.Allies are those who support other countries like friend.Same of others countries were known as central powers, Germany was one of them.nationalism, the resolution passed both houses and the president signed it thus the neutrally ended.All citizents love their country.Alot of citizents went to war to deffend their country.Militarism was one of the causes of war also.Goverment focused on military expenses.No ecconomic support to the community.My conclusion is that all this countries where crazy fighting over nothing.

Overall I think that World War I was definitly unavoidable. I say that because of all of the things that caused it. Power began consuming and corrupting the minds of countries in Europe. Some countries became power hungry and tried to take over as much as they could. Everyone began preparing for this war before it really happened by organizing armies. When Germany tried to take over France, which was the United States's ally, it forced the United States to aid them. This war was going to happen because the United States could not betray one of its allies. To keep their promise and their trust The United States had to help France in their time of need. The reason that these countries were power hungry is because all of the pride that they had. Pride would make countries turn on eachother and divide them into different alliances. So because of all these reasons it was impossible to avoid this war.

World War One was unabvoidable because a lot of countries had alliance with another country and it caused political problems and it also split into two hostile sides.It also was unavoidable becaused the cuntries only cared about gettingnew territories out side of their boundaries. Competition caused international antagonism and all this through the time forced militarism and the countries to try to make the strongest army in all europe with the best leaders and commanders.
I think that the main caused was that all the countries was nationalism.They would do anything to defend their country no matter if they had to go to war.

World War One was unavoidable for many reasons. One of the reasons is that many countries created alliances. France and Russia were two of the countries who made an allianc. Great Bretain did also. Another reason was the competition that creaated many conflicts. Colonies created conflicts with Africa. The last reason is mili

World War 1
I think that World War 1 was unavoidable.It was unavoidable because of the alliances.Many countries in Europe were split betweem two alliances.It involved many countries that united and help others.It also involved militarism.Some countries were building up on weapons.It also involved countries that wanted to colonize other countries.But i think that the most inportant thing during the war was nationalism.Nationalism inspired the soldiers to fight for the love they had for their country.It wasn't only for love but also for the pridetoo.There were many causes but i think that World War 1 was unavoidable because of the alliances.

World war one unavailable because couuntries created alliance a alliance meat a country helps another country the alliance meat some power were forced to suppotr polices. they may not agreed wit focused on military or army the hostile camps countries built large armies and navies during the pre-way years. a class of proffesional and powerful military officer develop and tended to dominate the civil authorities. love of country or nationalism was another cause. your are born a country and you love you country i think that the other country world war one was unavailable because somecountries help to others couunties.

ww1 was unavoidable bearing different ideologies among the western countries which were based on self interests rather than unity amongst themselves. This can be noted through the creation of systems of alliances. Through these alliances most countries entered the alliances with aims of protecting each others colonies.In doing so the tripple alliance was formed and on the other side the tripple intente. hence creation of backup if attacked was launched. thus making the world war 1 even more unavoidable

World War II was unavoidable because Hitler was unstoppable. Most know this although public awareness has declined because of the Iraq War casualties taking our best and brightest. WWII built all up during the 1930s as America worked out its proverbial biceps and Hitler and Mussolini did likewise until was was inevitable. Other countries like Europe and Spain were ultimately unimportant to the battlefield. Soon, WWIII.

I fail to inquisit the meaning of your comment here. This is a lethargic space for scholars to discuss the wartime. Please stop your metamorphic utterances on the website and just stop. Thanks for being the bigger person - if you obey.

VSauce is a modern marvel, folks. Think about what Michael Stevens (everyone’s favorite bearded host) has managed to pull off. It’s a webshow that both stimulates every brain, no matter what the IQ, and entertains even the most demanding of viewers. Few members of the intelligent elite manage to bring real brain food to the masses. But Michael Stevens does. I have to admit, I get a little thrill, just a little electric shock in my feet, every time Stevens pops onto the screen at the beginning of a VSauce video - and I’m not the only viewer who feels this way, judging by the view count. It’s a testament to Stevens’s talents as an entertainer and educator that he can make me, and millions of loyal subscribers, feel this way. If every video on Youtube were done with the same craft and attention as a Stevens opus, maybe, just maybe, we could finally do away with formal education. As an exemplar of my message, reflect on the choice of music in VSauce. Take a break from reading this comment and go listen to the VSauce music. I’ll wait.

Done?

Good.

How do you feel having listened to this music? Curious? Open to new and exciting possibilities? If you’re wondering how I knew how the music would make you feel, it’s because most sane people who hear this music feel the same way! Yes, Michael Stevens chose the best possible music to complement his intellectual video extravaganzas. One should hardly be surprised by Michael’s excellent taste in the auditory arts - after all, just the sound of his voice is a sort of music in itself, eh? One is forced to conclude that in the final analysis, VSauce is to Youtube what Citizen Kane is to the movies and Hamlet is to the theater. I’ve been told before that as a Saucehead (a VSauce fan), I’m a bit biased in my analysis of the Sauce. My retort? Look at the view count. Millions. Yup. There are millions of people who seem to agree with me, making my dissenters part of an embarrassing intellectual minority;)
