Re: First world war quiz?

real reasons were that france and britain cannot stand germany becoming a world power ,jealous of her navy and wanting revenge for the trouncing germany gave to france in 1870-71....germany on the other hand was afraid of the rapid improvement in russian army and wanted a quick war to decisively beat the russians before they get too much of a superority over geman army

Re: First world war quiz?

oil ! not a major reason but yes natural resources generally speaking
europeans were more interested in nitrites for their shells than oil for their armies which were either static or dependent on horsedrawn transports

Re: First world war quiz?

Guys....

British Navy used to depend on Coal

German Navy had changed over to using oil and hence were more powerful and faster.

GB used to pride it'self over the sea's, infact Britain used to rule the seas and had the best Navy

This came under threat...No way could the British afford the Germans getting a secure supply of oil ---They had just realised how powerful this new substance was...

Germany was building a railway all the way to present day Iraq in order to get it's solid supply of oil...This could not be allowed under any circumstances, remember...GB was a superpower then, just like USA is today.. Would the USA let any other country become a superpower and challenge it???

Hence the war...

Re: First world war quiz?

This theory is flawed, because Germany first declared war against Russia, France and Belgium before Britain declared war on Germany.

Furthermore, the treaty that obligated Britain to attack any country that attacked Belgium was signed in 1839, long before the technology to power ships with oil was developed.

Re: First world war quiz?

Oil was hardly a significant factor for WWI. It became such a huge war because of all the cross treaties countries had made with each other. Russia went against Austro-Hungarian empire to save Serbia. Germany went against Russia to save the Austro-Hungarians, France and Britain jumped in to save Russia.

Everybody wanted to flex their muscles and show the other, who's the boss. Germany was the most industrialized nation and the largest economy of Europe whereas Britain and France were ruling the world. They were itching to test their powers against each other but instead of settling things, they ended up losing millions of productive citizens and paving the way for WWII.

Re: First world war quiz?

No this theory is not flawed..

I cannot go into the details over here but please read the book

"A century of war" by F W Engdahl....

You will see the connection oil has had in to name a few
World War 1
World war 2 to an extent
The crumbling of Russia
Berlin Wall
The asian financial crisis
Iraq war etc

These are just a few things that have connections to oil

You will be very Naive to dismiss it without first reading the book where the Author has spent quality time researching and backing any claims wioth facts, dates, quotes etc

^^

Basic research still shows that some of the premises are utterly false.

For example, you stated that “German Navy had changed over to using oil and hence were more powerful and faster.”

A study of the schematics of Imperial German Navy battleships using oil fired boilers and Royal Navy Coal burners built in the same year show that the ships were of a similar displacement and speed; moreover, the Royal Navy coal burners seem to have a longer range.

Compare the German Konig class with the British Iron Duke class.
