This lesson explores the concept of nationalism, its historical role in shaping conflicts, and its possible implications for future wars. Students will define nationalism and examine its effects in previous conflicts, particularly in France and Africa. The lesson will then guide students to analyze the causes of World War I, including the significance of the Triple Alliance, Triple Entente, and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. By completing a worksheet, students will articulate their views on which cause was most pivotal in leading Europe to war.
