World
War I: The causes
of World War I, which began in central Europe in late July 1914 and ended in
1918. Militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism played a major role
in the conflict as well.
The
crisis came after a long and difficult series of diplomatic clashes between the
Great Powers (Italy, France, Germany, the British Empire, the Empire of Austria-Hungary
and Russia) over European and colonial issues in the decade before 1914 I had
left the high voltage. In turn these diplomatic clashes can be traced to
changes in the balance of power in Europe since 1867. The immediate cause of
the war was tensions over territory in the Balkans. Austria-Hungary competed
with Serbia and Russia for territory and influence in the region and left the
rest of the great powers into the conflict through their various alliances and
treaties.
World
War II: The main
causes of World War II were nationalistic issues, unresolved issues, and
resentments resulting from the First World War and the interwar period in

1939 invasion of Poland by Germany and Soviet Russia.
These
military aggressions are the result of decisions made by authoritarian ruling
Nazi elite in Germany and by the direction of Japan's Kwantung Army. World War
II started after these aggressive actions were met with an official declaration
of war and / or armed resistance.
