HW8

(a) The Moroccan Crisis

The Moroccan Crisis was an attempt by the Germans to expand their empire and test the recent alliance between France and Britain.

(b) The British agreement with Russia

This agreement was regarded as a militaristic move by the Germans—they thought that Russia, France and Britain were aligning to “encircle” them.

(c) The Bosnia Crisis

Although there were 3 million Serbs in Bosnia when Austria took it from Serbia, neither Britain, France or Russia provided help for their own reasons.

(d) The Agadir Crisis

After the Agadir Crisis, public German opinion became intensely anti-British.

(e) The First Balkan War

The Austrians wanted Albania, which had an outlet to the sea, to become an independent state rather than a Serbian one because they didn't want Serbia to become more powerful.

(f) The Second Balkan War

The Second War occurred because the Bulgarians were dissatisfied with the peace agreement, blamed Serbia, and then attacked them.

(g) The assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand

The Austrians started a war with Serbia because a Serbian terrorist assassinated the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
