Countdown to War
Another task we should do is making a timeline with some important events of the WWI. The timeline mostly contains declaring war and there are also some questions we should answer about WWI from this task.
Countdown to war
Dates
Event
28th June 1914
Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife are shot dead by the Serb Student Gavrillo Princip.

Unsatisfied by Serbia’s response to an ultimatum, Austro-Hungary declared war on Serbia
29th July 1914
Due to her alliance, Russia mobilises her army to support Serbia
1st August 1914
Due to alliances, Germany declares war on Russia
3rd August 1914

4th August 1914
Britain declared war on Germany
6th August 1914
Austro-Hungary declared war on Russia
13th August 1914
France and Britain declare war on Austro-Hungary
3. Using your table, explain why the murder of Archduke Ferdinand led to the out break war.
Archduke Ferdinand heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungary empire, the assassination set off chain of events that would lead to the start of World War 1. In fact, there are devastating conflicts before Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated
4. Explain what Schlieffen Plan was – why couldn’t Germany attack France directly?
Germany believed war with Russia was extremely likely. If war broke out, Germany assumed France would also attack as both an ally of Russia. If this happened Germany would face a war on two fronts. Germany wants to avoid this at all cost, that is why Schlieffen plan: Germany planned to defeat France rapidly and then turn to the eastern front for a major offensive on Russia.
5. From the text book and all the causes you have studied, which do you think was the most important cause? Explain your answer in detail.
The assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinad was the most important causes, because it pulls the trigger that lead to World War 1. This event t set everything in motion to World War 1. Nationalism, Imperialism, Militarism, and the ally were all things that put tension/strain on Europe, the assassination caused it to erupt into a big war
6. “War between Britain and Germany was inevitable”. Do you agree?
Not nessarily, because German saw France as its natural enemy and would preffered to avoid a global conflict against the British empire. Meanwhile the Britain only went war to uphold a guaranteed Belgian neutrality. Schlieffen plan doesn’t force the German armies to go through Belgium, Britain not have been provoked into declaring war

Reflection
I think I have done well for this subject, almost a perfect score for all assignments given. It is all because I really put much effort on doing the assignments, and I got interested also of this topic. So I able to get a good score for this. To get a perfect score I should improve on vocabulary and perhaps more facts.
The IB learner profile for this subject would be balance. Because I have been balance doing this, I put much effort and that caused every assignment given in this subject have a good quality of information.
