3 sections · 8 lessons
Trace the Balkan spark, alliance pressures, and nationalist tensions that made a local killing dangerous across Europe.
4 lessonsExplain why technology, terrain, and strategy produced trench warfare, then trace how 1917 changed manpower, morale, and resources on both sides.
2 lessonsEvaluate the Versailles terms and weigh how the 1919 settlement fed instability without making another war seem automatic.
2 lessonsWhy a Balkan crisis could set off a world war is the starting point for this course. It follows the political pressures, military deadlock, and diplomatic breakpoints that shaped World War I, then shows how the peace settlement at Versailles left the postwar order unstable. By the end, the course gives a clear account of how the war began, why it dragged on, and how its ending helped shape the next era of conflict.
The course covers the alliance system, nationalism, and the July Crisis, then explains why the Western Front became a trench stalemate. It also examines Russia's exit, the United States' entry, and the aims and political fallout of the Versailles settlement.
