which do you think was the most important, and why?
Student Answer: Nationalism and Imperialism were two of the main causes of World War
I. Nationalism being the most important cause, as extreme forms of
patriotism, which primed the way to support the war. Nationalism gave
the citizens too much confidence in their government and military
strength, convinced many that their nation was being threatened
creating a rivalry between Europe's powers. The was competition for
natural resources, industries and military creating a need for more
national security and required more territories and colonies for power
and resources. On the other hand Imperialism had a significant role as
well because of the dual anarchy of the Austrian Hungarian power. This
dual anarchy brought ethnic groups and their kingdom under control of
the German empire. Even though it recognized the self right of the
Hungarians it proved to be an unsuccessful union. Europeans countries
wanted more expansion and the Slavic people no longer wanted part of
Austria's Hungary but instead of Serbia. The armies of both France and
Germany military had a high population invested in them, causing
colonial rivalry which led to a naval arms race between Britain and
Germany. Germany wanted to increase it own colonial empire, and
most of the good colonies were taken fueling the fire that was WW1.
Long term feuds and disputes caused by imperialism and nationalism
resulted in the "Triple Entente". England, France and Russia created a
common alliance opposed to the Triple Alliance of Germany, AustriaHungary and Italy.

Student Answer: The February Revolution (March 1917) was a revolution focused around
St Petersburg. In the chaos, members of the Imperial parliament or
Duma assumed control of the country, forming the Russian Provisional
Government. The army leadership felt they did not have the means to
suppress the revolution and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the last Tsar of
Russia, abdicated, effectively leaving the Provisional Government in
power. The Soviets (workers' councils), which were led by more radical
socialist factions, initially permitted the Provisional government to rule,
but insisted on a prerogative to influence the government and control
various militias. The February Revolution took place in the context of
heavy military setbacks during the First World War, which left much of
