World War I (WWI) was a global war centered in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. It was predominantly called the first World War.

One way to remember the FOUR main causes of World War I is to remember the acronym M – A – I – N. (M = Militarism, A = Alliances, I = Imperialism, and N = Nationalism.) MILITARISM was one of the four major causes of the war. It was an “arms race.” Because Britain had a large navy, Germany wanted a large navy too. Very simplified but gives us a nice organization to explore a huge piece of history. My main source of material for these topics will come from History On the Net. A nice collection that is easy to view/print. Web based activities:

OUR UNIT STUDY WEEKLY GUIDE
Free History Educational Materials
More than just Free Outlines, PowerPoints, Lesson Plans, Worksheets, Maps, and More for World History. These lessons are designed to get your kids EXCITED about how history impacts their lives today. Primary sources, history trivia, multi media and hands on crafts and activities take history from a dry text book to a living part of their lives.
Most of these lessons were gathered and used successfully in a group setting (home school co-op) with kids ages 8 - 13. Additional older middle school and high school resources were used with students as part of their independent study program.
Every attempt has been made to create a learning environment that is COMMON CORE FREE!* This means that these resources (created by talented teachers from 2000 to 2010) will no longer be used in public school settings. These free home school lessons are now considered greater treasures to impart knowledge that might otherwise be lost in a maze of federal mandates and testing requirements.
