    World War I began in June of 1914 and is considered to have five major causes that led to the outbreak of the war. These five causes include the four long-term causes (militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism) discussed in this reading and one short-term cause (the assassination of Franz Ferdinand).

    The long term effect contributed to the outbreak of the war 1, by causing the downfall of four monarchies:

    Germany, Turkey, Austria-Hungary, and Russia. The war made people more open to other ideologies, such as the Bolsheviks that came to power in Russia and fascism that triumphed in Italy and even later in Germany.

    Explanation: Yes, World War 1 was inevitable ... Their competitive nature was motivated by the encouragement of nationalism within countries, the entangled alliances between nations, the arms race and the battle to acquire colonies around the world contributed to the small disputes that lead to war.
