Week 2, Class 1 - Causes of World war 1 (domino effect)

Hi guys! Welcome back to History class! Not exactly though... but oh well! Today, we're gonna have a normal day, and only one of the teachers will present! Yayyyyy

1. Mr. Rick is catching us up from the last class, since there were lots of holidays during our lessons in the last semester, so there were lesser posts. Hee hee.

2. History is basically a cause and effect kinda thing. So, for example, the cause of Marie Antoinette saying: "Let them eat cake" effects the hearts of the third class people (the poor people) and made them start the French Revolution. This was a huge mistake that Marie made. We, as historians (not exactly historians tho... but I guess... "student" is the right title for us) know this fact, we could try to be more careful around people and try to be more compassionate to others and try to work on things much more carefully.

Before in the 1870s, there was no Germany, only a group of states that speak the same language. These are called the Prussian states. France and England was in a war for a very long time, from Henry the 8th until the 1870s. Since these states were having war, Germany won the war and took both of the states.

Countries such as Britain, France, Spain, Portugal and Netherlands were colonizing the world, the newly made country made Germany want to do so too. The British Empire is huge and it needs a more cheaper and efficient way to ship things, so they built the HMS Dreadnoughts. It is very cheap, so Germany decided to copy them. France looks at this in a way that it looks like danger...

World war 1 was started by the domino effect. It's a thing where countries corner each other and wants a lose-lose relationship. Before WW1 started, there were the alliances, the triple alliance and the triple entente. The triple alliance consists of Italy, Austria-Hungary and Germany, they were formed from the Prussian war in the 1870s. The triple Entente consists of Russia, France and Britain.

3. LDL time! Woottttt! Let's see who's gonna teach for today... Jennifer is teaching. She is going to teach us about the Cause and Effect of World War 1 which is the domino effect. 

4. On what we can do better next time is to take more pictures during class time and try not to be very playful with friends during class time.
