Causes
Naval Race
• 1906 Kaiser (Germany) reads Mahan’s Influence
of Sea Power Upon History
• England’s power comes from its navy (and a little
about imperialism)
• England keeps its fleet 2 times larger than the next
nation
– Fleet made obsolete when Fischer (Englishmen) makes
the Dreadnaught (10-12 inch guns, shells are riffled go
farther, faster ship, targets)
• Germany and England compete in a naval race
• One of the reasons why England becomes
involved in the war-because Germany is
threatening their naval superiority
Militarism
Reserve System
• A pool of people to call on emergency to
fight
• Any country that started to call their
reserves would cause all the other countries
to call their reserves-mobilization
Militarism
Staff Colleges
• War Plans for nations-each nation was
ready to fight in the event of war
• Examples
– Schlieffen Plan: Germany plan-how to fight
their 2 front war. First attack France , then
attack Russia because they will take longer to
mobilize
– French Plan: Plan 17
Militarism
Claussewitz

Forms theories for modern warfare
Says you need war colleges
“War is simply politics”
Need to always be prepared for war
Militarism
Alliance System
– Because of fear of war each nation felt like it needed allies for
protection
– Germany-fear of a dual front war-started alliances with the 3
Emperors League, but when the Reassurance Treaty wasn’t
resigned France allied with Russia (Franco-Russian Alliance)So Germany allied with Austria/Hungary. Germany feels
“encircled” by France and Russia
– France-afraid/angry at Germany since the Franco-Prussian and
since they had taken Alsace Loraine . Doesn’t want to have to
face a Germany alone, so needs allies. France and Britain
have a entente cordial and Britain and Russia work out their
differences in the interest of France
– Britain-boasts “splendid isolationism” but when Germany
becomes a threat to them in the Anglo-Saxon Naval Race and
insults them in the South African Boar Telegram-Britain finds
reason to at least be slightly allied with France

Alliance System
• Sarajevo Crisis-Direct cause of the war

–
Alliance system is the direct cause of the war
Francis Ferdinand assassinated by Black hand
Austria takes Serbians Sovereignty
Russians defend the Serbs
Germany gives blank check and mobilizes
France responds as Russia’s ally-France and
England mobilize
Alliance System
Imperialism
– Markets + Colonies
• World economy dependent on getting raw goods-in order to be
a world power, you had to get these goods
• Mahan gave the Germans the idea that in order to be a world
power you need to have colonies all over the world. In order
to have colonies all over the world you need to have naval
bases to cover fleets to protect those colonies and merchant
ships and protective ships for them
• Germany wanted its “Place in the Sun”-England and France
have carved up all of Africa, it wants some too
– National Security
• Some nations couldn’t afford to lose a colony and so to
maintain their strong image of imperialism was very important
• Russia wanted Serb land-couldn’t let Serbs down when they
asked for aid
– Social Darwinism
• The idea that once society is better than another
• Europeans felt that that was threatened when the Japanese beat
the Russians in the Russo-Japanese War
Nationalism
• German unification in 1870 disrupted the
distribution of power in Europe
• Germany growing-its industry was better than
England and France
• Italian unification upset it more
• France wants Revenge
– Lost the Franco-Prussian War
– Wants Alsace Loraine
• Serbs wanting independence makes the Russians
and Austrian/Hungarians ally for and against them
Staggering Empires
• Russia-starting to fall apart. Couldn’t lose
or else the countries within it will rebel.
Drew France in as an ally
• Austria Hungary-weak, and for the same
reasons as Russia, it couldn’t turn down a
challenge or else it would look weak-Drew
Germany in

• Land armies helpless-turn to sea
• Britain
– Strict naval blockade
– No distinction between noncontraband (food supplies
cotton) and contraband (used in war)
– Flying false colors
• Submarines
– German unrestricted sub warfare brought US into war
– Can sink ships, but were unreliable because you
couldn’t be positive of what you were shooting

to specialization but also dependency
• Redistribute colonies
• Shrink armies
• Self Determination-countries decide to be
free or who they belong to
• League of Nations Created
Treaty of Versailles

Historiography
Traditional
• Ideological War-Democracy vs. Fascism
• Hitler had a blue print for conquest-Hossbach
memo
• Chamberlain-sign of appeasement and was a bad
leader
• France won’t fight
• US isolationist
• USSR scared-don’t want to be isolated
• Treaty of Versailles doesn’t work
• War wasn’t inevitable
– Allies thought that through appeasement they could
turn fascism on communism
– Then they would kill each other
AW Historiography
Revisionist
• Taylor Thesis-German was a problem since 1870disrupts balance
• WWI damages Germany’s military and economy,
but doesn’t destroy it
– Germany recovers and rearms
• Hitler not special
– Any leader would try to get rid of the Treaty of
Versailles and unite German people under German
control
– Anti-Semitism isn’t unique
• Not an ideological war
• Same as WWI-war to balance power (inevitable)
• Hitler and Mussolini are opportunist
AW Historiography
Critics
• Taylor forgets economics-economics let Hitler rise
to power
• Ideology-yes people are anti-Semitic, but most
people won’t exterminate a race
• Fear of Communism
• Hossbach memo is a plan
• France not assigned to appeasement, Britain will
not have another war because “civilization will
cease to exist”
• Hitler has a plan to exterminate non-Aryans

are of Japanese blood you are a Japanese
citizen
• US tries to stop immigration-more problems
Causes
Open Door Policy
• US-Every country in each field of interest
will have an equal opportunity in trade and
commerce

could have Japan could have 3 ships
• Not seen as fair
Causes
Ultra-Nationalism
• Japan went farther than just normal nationalism
• Creates mentality that you should die for your
country
• That surrender is lower than low

Pearl Harbor Historiography
• Did the US know in advance
– Rauch-no
– Current-new there was going to be an attack,
expecting it to be on British Dutch territory
– Roberta W-failed to interpret evidence, the US
previous ideas didn’t line up with evidence

Historiography
Did we push Japan to attack us? Revisionist
– Forced the War
– Roosevelt knew
Continue…
• wanted casus belli-would make the US people want to go to
war
• “Back door to war”-to fight Germany
– Anti Japan actions
• Aided China militarily, quasi-secret alliances, economic
warfare
• Moving navy base from San Diego to Pearl Harbor-then
focused putting bases in the Philippians
• “pop-up” cruises-keep Japan guessing
– Economic Policy
• January 1940 ended trade treaty with Japan
• October 1940 banned export of scrap iron-harder for Japan to
make weapons
• July 1941-Troops move into Indo China-US embargo on oil-18
months of fuel left
Pearl Harbor Historiography
• Did we push Japan to attack us? Post
Revisionist
– Roosevelt would have considered peace-wanted
to focus on European War
– Wasn’t consistent in plans-could be the same
for this
– Roosevelt didn’t have access to all
documentation-may not have been aware
– No documentation to ever support claims
Pacific War
Historiography
Atomic Bomb Historiography
– Traditional-save lives shorten war, Pacific War is really
deadly
– Revisionist
• USSR joins
• Truman makes a false choice
• Need to end the war quickly so that the USSR doesn’t overrun
East Asia
– Moral Position
• Bomb kills 200,000 but saves 2 million
• Warning?
• Picked cities that weren’t touched to show strength
– Post Revisionist

Bloody Sunday
• Before: Peasants thought that the tsar loved and
cared about them
• What: 40 peasants peacefully marched-guards
attacked them
• Nicolas II institutes October Manifesto to try and
lessen damage
– Creation of the Duma
– Give people more rights
• Doesn’t do either-keeps canceling Duma until it
only represents the nobility
• Rasputin and Nicolas II‘s weak leadership skills
make tsar not popular
Russian Revolution
Wars-WWI
• Losing the Russo-Japanese War-hurt morale and
trust in tsar
• Unprepared-made economy stagnant
• Made stupid mistakes-needed people to fight in
the army, so they took people from factories-these
people were building the weapons for fighting
• Early on a social trusse was signed, but as time
went on the trusse was forgotten
Russian Revolution
February Revolution
• February 17th Putilov Steel Strike
– Largest and most modern factory in Russia
– 40 workers went on a wild cat strike-were fired
• February 18th
– People left in a sympathy strike-were fired
– Now 40,000 unemployed angry people in the center of
Petrograd
• Few days later International Women's Day
– Women in the textile industry strike-combine with
everyone else
Continue..
Putilov Steel Strike
• Soldiers Mutiny-government called upon army
and Kronstadt’s navy to aid
– Both refused-now the crowd has weapons
• Total strike
– Police fire on the crowd and the soldiers fire back
– Prisons opened
– Barricades go up around Petrograd
• Results: tsar abdicates, some think it is the end of
the revolution-others don’t (Lenin)
Russian Revolution
Dual Authority
• Provisional Government and Petrograd Soviet in
control
• Provisional Government-what is left of the Duma
– Seen as do nothingers because they don’t create the
Constituent Assembly
– Wanted to stay in WWI-not what people wanted
• Petrograd Soviet-had authority over the
Provisional Government because it could veto and
it also had control over the army
Russian Revolution
April Thesis
• Lenin didn’t think that the revolution was over
• Let the people of Russia know in his April Thesis
• 3 points
– Russia had to get out of WWI
– The Revolution was not over
– Russia shouldn’t support the Provisional Government
• Leninism wanted to have democratic centralism lead the
proletariat to control the government
Russian Revolution
July Putch
• Military offensive in WWI
• Kerensky thought that a victory would help Russia
• Opposite-20,000 dead, low morality, high
desertion

Military Organization)-put leaders in jail, Lenin
escapes
• Bolshevism is at its all time low
Russian Revolution
Kornilov Affair
• Bolsheviks are rearmed
Russian Revolution
Red October
• Second revolution in 1917
• Lenin returns, secret convention with Bolsheviks

• Lenin’s single minded persuasive behavior
swayed decision
• Little opposition: army and navy supported
• October 24-Bolsheviks took over government
buildings and railroads
• Dead a few months earlier-now in control
Russian Revolution
Why were Bolsheviks
successful?
• Organized
• Great leadership
• Bolsheviks-professional manipulative party,
knew what to say to make people happy:
(“Peace, land bread” leave WWI)
• Blunders made by government allowed
them to take power
Russian Revolution
Civil War
• Brest Litsovsk
• White Army
– Yudenic
– Kolchak
– Ukrainian army
• Why they fail: If the groups could work together
or if Bolsheviks didn’t have a central position,
they might have been able to win
Russian Revolution
Brest Litsovsk
• Peace treaty signed between Germany and
Russia
• Got Russia out of WWI
• Had to give up a lot of their western border
• Not good for Russia because they lose a
large part of their population and some
really good fields for growing food
Civil War
Yudenic
• People who wanted to get back into WWI
• Got support from the Western powers
• US, and allied nations wanted Russia to be
in the war
Civil War
Kolchak
• Tsarist supporters from the east
• Fatal mistake: didn’t recognize that
Mensheviks and SRs aren’t communist and
so doesn’t accept their aid
Civil War
War Communism
