Warm Up Activity How can defensive alliances lead to stability or instability in the world?
The Alliance System A PRELUDE TO WAR
Objectives Today we will be able to identify how European rivalries led to the alliance system that would become one of many catalysts for the outbreak of the Great War.
Balance of Power Diplomacy The foundation of 19thcentury diplomacy : Alliances among great powers would deter a nation war because an aggressive nation would have to face at least two hostile powers: Bismarck All [international] politics reduces itself to this formula: Try to be a trois (three) as long as the world is governed by the unstable equilibrium of five great powers Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Britain and France.
19thCentury European Rivalries France vs. Germany Austria Hungary vs. Slavs Germany vs. Russia (Pan Slavism)
France vs. Germany The outcome of Franco- Prussian War. France loses Alsace- Lorraine. Resource rich, wealthy, strategic for France since the 16thcentury Colonial rivalries Post-Bismarck Germany competed for Mediterranean and North African colonies.
Austria Hungary vs. Sub-Nationalities Dominant Austrians and Hungarians were satisfied with the situation in central Europe. All other nationalities living in the Empire were not. Czechs and Slovaks, Romanians, and South Slavs (Slovenes, Croats, and SERBS!!!) Russia challenged Austro- Hungarian influence in the Balkans due to Pan-Slavism
Germany vs. Russia Russia fanned the flames of Serbian nationalism in the Balkans which threatened the existence of the Austro-Hungarian empire. This made Austria Hungary very dependent on their alliance with Germany.
The Alliance System Based on three predicaments French and German hatred. Competing interests of Russia and Austria-Hungary in the Balkans. Germany s fear of being attacked from the east and west by Russia and France.
The Triple Alliance Germany and Austria created a defensive alliance aimed at mitigating Russian expansion in the Balkans. Germany and Austria- Hungary included Italy in an alliance. This alienated Russia and made them at odds with not only Austria-Hungary, but with Germany as well.
France and Russias Dual Alliance A defensive alliance between Russia and France. Why would Russia and France create this alliance? To combat the Triple Alliance Russian isolation Competing interests in Balkans Russian aristocratic and French cultural ties
Britain and France sign the Entente Cordiale Rapprochement. Britain and France were able to put their hatred aside and signed this friendly agreement in 1901 which ended Britain s diplomatic isolation and strengthened France s position in Europe. Why sign? G.B. needed friends G.B. relations with Germany soured German influence in Turkey German economic growth made G.B. nervous.
The Triple Entente The alliance between France, Great Britain and Russia. The two war camps are established Triple Alliance vs Triple Entente
