Explain the Causes of World War One
Introduction
In this essay I am going to explain the long term and the short term causes of World War Ones or as others call it the War to end All Wars. I am going to divide my essay in to categories,(Long term causes and short term causes), and then in each category I will list the causes in order of importance,(the most important being at the top, and the least at the bottom and so on, so fourth).

Britain’s response to this was to be defensive, because they felt threatened and try to protect its title of having the biggest Empire. Its first instinct was to get more countries and build up its Empire like Germany were doing at the time. This was a cause, because Britain felt threatened by Germany and would have done anything to protect itself and its status.

This was one of the causes of World War One, because if people hadn’t been protective and proud of their country and wanted to fight for it, then there
