Otto von Bismarck created the idea of alliances because he did not want to fight a war on two fronts and he wanted other countries to help him: “When negotiations failed, he developed an alliance with Austria-Hungary and Italy which became known as the triple alliance. In response, France and Russia and Great Britain formed an alliance known as the Triple Entente” (Background essay).

There have been countless debates over what was truly the main cause of World War One (WW1). The largest portion of underlying causes fit into three general categories: imperialism, militarism, and failure in the alliance system. Of course the assassination of Archduke of Austria ignited the flame that was WW1, but there had to be fuel to keep the fire burning. All of these three categories had influence on the lasting of the war, but upon analysis of historical documents and actions it can be noted that the militaristic aspect and the failure in the present alliance system can be arbitrarily tied back into imperialism.…

Initially, these alliance systems were intended to preserve peace in Europe; on the contrary, it drove them into world war. These alliance systems developed their roots when Prussia’s chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, claimed Germany to be a peaceful power, even though he assumed France wanted revenge for its defeat in the Franco-Prussian war. Thus, Beck states that “in 1879, Bismarck formed the Dual Alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary; three years later, Italy joined the two countries, forming the Triple Alliance.” During the same year, to ensure that France did not make an alliance with Russia, Bismarck immediately formed an alliance with Russia. Nonetheless, under the reign of Germany’s new leader Kaiser Wilhelm II, Germany’s treaty with Russia broke and Russia later formed a defensive military alliance with France in 1892 and 1894. Although outraged by this alliance, Wilhelm II focused on starting a shipbuilding project in order to make the German navy identical to the famous British fleet. Based on the distrust of attack, Britain formed an alliance with France and Russia, named the Triple Entente. These alliances faced off at the Austria-Hungarian and Siberian assassination conflict. Even though Germany did not give support to its ally Austria-Hungary, Tsar Nicholas ordered…
