Alliances in World War 1 The factors that made alliances the cause of World War 1 are political and geography. Some examples of political are the treaties that were made before and during the war to help protect alliances. The first treaty that took place was the dual alliance between Austria-Hungary and Germany. This treaty is explaining that if Germany attacks Russia Austria-Hungary helps them and when England attacks Austria-Hungary Germany doesn’t need to help Austria Hungary. The next treaty is the Franco-Russian Alliance military, and what the treaty means when France is attacked by Germany, or by Italy supported by Germany, Russia shall employ all her available forces to attack Germany. Another treaty is the expanded version of the Triple Alliance. The expanded version of Triple alliance was the two contracting parties shall be bound to help forces to the party attacked. Meaning if Italy gets attacked the other parties come and helps. With this Italy can be less scared of losing because they have multiple countries helping them. This caused World War 1 because alliance gets attacked the other attack causing a domino effect.
The next factor why alliances caused World War 1 is geography. An example of Geography is when Germany had to fight both France and Russia on the East and on the West. The Franco-Russian alliance would benefit this because of the location and to overwhelm Germany on both fronts. In conclusion, the argument that the alliance system was to a great extent the cause for World War One is proved most defendable. World War One could not have broken out without the cause of the alliance system. Therefore, the alliance system was indeed to a great extent the cause for worldr
