A. Alliance system Def: An agreement made between two or more countries to give each other help if it is needed (Allies) Treaty to support one another if attacked *These were important because they meant that some countries had NO option but to declare war if one of their allies declared war first Why cause?

15. The Bosnian Crisis con’t • Then 1911-1912 – War in the Balkan states (drove out Turkey [Ottoman Empire] out of area) • States fought over which area should belong to which state • Austria-Hungary intervened – forced Serbia to give up land TENSIONS HIGH BETWEEN THE TWO
