However, we had to pass through Belgium in order to get to France, and there will be great consequences from Great Britain. They will declare war on us, and it will be the entire world against Germany and Austria-Hungary. Let us hope that the Americans do not decide to join, as they hold no political or economical value and would only distract us…

Much like these nations there was yet another, a German military state that started out as a Duchy and formed into the powerful nation known as Prussia.

The four main causes had been seen throughout the years leading up to the war. Prior to the start of World War I, many European nations had been building up their military…
