What was World War I fighting for?

What was world War II fighting for?

I think it was freedom or independence, but I'm not quite sure (this is for my research-project and ALL the resources I look at are too confusing and hard to understand in English-vocab use...

Answer 1

WWI the start of it was much more complicated, but it was based on an alliance system where if one country attacked another, then their allies had to go help them. Arguably Germany is blamed for the start of WWI and had to pay serious reparations which contributed to their economy stagnating and to the rise of Hitler.

Answer 2

he correct i could not have said it better then that

Answer 3

or she

Answer 4

@greatlife44 @micahm So does that mean in both wars they were fighting for revenge of them breaking their alliance system or something. Did Germany start WWI for any reason. I'm trying to make one of my slides on the presentation about the differences between World War I and World War II in the reason that they started to explain why I think World War II is a continuation of World War I, but the information is so hard to find in a way I can understand it's facts (all the explanations on internet like Wikipedia confuses me)

Answer 5

hilter did also some one got shot then one of the wars began

Answer 6

Hitler wanted to expand, he believed ethnic germans were in other countries and wanted to take those lands as living space.

Answer 7

does that help

Answer 8

It helps for World War II, but I'm not entirely sure how I can explain what the goal or intentions was for World War I. Like World War I, were they fighting to avenge someone's death, or what and what was the ultimate outcome of it exactly, that's what confuses me.

Answer 9

For WWII it was to due with Hitler and his plans and that they broke a treaty of some kind. For WWI I got no clue why the war exactly started, I keep thinking it had something to due with someone being murdered

Answer 13

Answer 14

I believe wwi lasted four years and wwii lasted around 5 or 6

Answer 15

Answer 16

World War II lasted longer than World War I by 2 years. I'm still confused about the reason World War I was started and why they were fighting XP

Answer 17

The simplest answer is that the immediate cause was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the archduke of Austria-Hungary. His death at the hands of Gavrilo Princip – a Serbian nationalist with ties to the secretive military group known as the Black Hand – propelled the major European military powers towards war.
