1. a. Serbia
    b. Austria-Hungary
    c. Russia
    d. Germany
    e. France
    f. Great Britain
  2. The yellow ones is the dual alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary, and the blue ones are the Triple Entente which was the understanding between Russia, France, and Great Britain.
  3. Nationalism – an intense loyalty toward and desire to preserve one’s own cultural identity, language, and traditions.  The Austrian-Hungarian empire controlled several Slavic nations that wanted independence and rebelled against Austrian rule. Some Bosnian Serbs formed the Black Hand, a group willing to fight for their nationalistic goals. To Austro-Hungarian imperialists, Serbian nationalism was a deadly idea that had to be crushed at all costs.
  4. Imperialism – Powerful countries practiced imperialism by establishing colonies all over the world to create empires, At the beginning of the 20th century, Germany was struggling to establish itself as an imperial power.  Germany’s leaders wanted their country to have its own “place in the sun” and to extend its sphere of influence. Germany’s aggressive pursuit of this goal brought it into conflict with other imperial powers, in particular Britain and France.
  5. Militarism – The belief or desire of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it aggressively to defend or promote national interests.  Britain had a “two power standard”.  Their navy had to be equal or better than any two other nation’s navies combined. Germany starts an arms race (naval) with Britain
  6. The sequence of events is how the first world war,  Serbia assassinated the archduke of Austria, Austria issues an ultimatum to Serbia to punish the ones involved with the assassination and suppress nationalism, Russia sends support to Serbia, Germany helps Austria by declaring war on Russia-Serbia, France orders general mobilization, Germany declares war on France, Britain declares war on Germany.
  7. a. The perspective is probably from the US or Canada because they are not in the cartoon even though they participated in the war, also it is in English and was published in a Canadian newspaper.
    b. It is depicted as a child because it is a small country with not a lot of power which had recently left the ottoman empire.
    c. It is Ironic because there are both friends and enemies in the cartoon, it shows the ally chain and the “friendships” between them.
