2. This cartoon talked about the alliance between countries in Europe, the different color indicates the different alliance group.
3. Serbia was showed as a child, indicate that Serbia is only have a little influence to others, but when Serbia got involved, a chain reaction start happening
4. The Germany had an instant reaction on what was happening on Serbia, while the France and England were hesitate a while because they were not even sure each other of them are alliance or not.
5. England were hesitating a lot of making decision at that moment, Germany and England was tied up and compete in a lot of ways, so their relationship was ambiguous.
6. So, after the Serbia got attacked, the Austria had an instant reaction of willing to interpret into the fight, when Austria want to do more about the invasion, the Russian get into the intervene, as the Germany were ready for that, they invaded Russia instantly. France and UK want to sit back and relax, but they realize that the Austria – Germany would take over and break the balance, so they starting attacking Germany.
7. a) That could be Italy, it was the only country could interpret with the fight but did not participate in.
b) Because Serbia was a pretty small country with only a few influences, but could lead a different result of the whole things.
