Unit 1: Canada in World War One (1914 - 1919)
Content Questions:
Activity 1 - The Causes of World War One (10 marks)
1. How did the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente alliances form? (3 marks)
Due to the increasing intensity of developing arms, the countries decided to form
alliances in order to protect themselves. Germany and the Austro-Hungarian
Empire allied themselves to protect themselves from Russia, and later Italy joined
this alliance forming the Triple Alliance. In 1894, Russia had signed a treaty with
France. Later on in the 20th century, Great Britain joined France and Russia,
forming the Triple Entente.
2. How was Canada connected to the European system of Empires? (1 mark)
Canada was a part of the British Empire. Whenever Great Britain was stuck in a
situation, it was Canada’s responsibility to stand by it’s side.
3. Define nationalism. Explain specifically how nationalism helped make each of the
causes of World War One even stronger. (4 marks)
Nationalism is having great pride in one’s own country. One of the causes of World
War One is Militarism. Militarism is developing weapons and infantry ready for war
and nationalism encourages the citizens to help out as it unifies the country to work
together for their country which they believe is the greatest among all. Another
cause of World War One is Alliances. They allied the countries with similar thoughts
and opinions. Nationalism caused conflicts between countries which led to stronger
alliances being formed to secure their land and counter the enemy. The last cause
of World War One is Imperialism. All the countries were hungry for acquisition of
newer territories. But soon, there was not much left to conquer. This led to conflicts
between countries. Nationalism increased the hunger for acquiring territories as the
countries believed that they were the greatest and should rule the world.
4. Identify two things that could have prevented a world war, based on what happened
after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. (2 marks)
After the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Austria-Hungary blamed
Serbia for the assaissination and gave an ultimatum. As Serbia declined,
Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia. If Serbia had accepted the ultimatum, maybe the
war wouldn’t have taken place. Also, if Serbia and Austria-Hungary had talked
peacefully about the assassination and discussed a solution through, the war could

have been prevented. Serbia and Austria-Hungary could have signed a peace
treaty after punishing the terrorist group that planned this attack. But as
Austria-Hungary decided to invade Serbia, Russia under a treaty with Serbia, was
forced to help out. If Russia and Serbia weren’t under a treaty, Serbia would have
been conquered by Austria-Hungary, but there wouldn’t have been a World War.
After Russia mobilized its troops, Germany decided to help out Austria-Hungary,
declaring war on Russia and Serbia. Thus, following France had to join to help out
Russia and therefore Great Britain and Canada also got involved, resulting in the
World War One.
Activity 2 - Canadian Involvement in World War One (5 marks)
1. How soon after Britain entered World War I did Canada enter the war? (1 mark)
Great Britain entered World War One on August 4, 1914 and one day later, Canada
entered World War One on August 5, 1914.
