Copy the image above into your wiki and complete a brief "I See/It Means" below it.
 * the fear of Germany's growing economy and military power had driven autocractic Russia to ally first with republican France and then with Britain
 * from 1890s: the arrgogance and aggressive posturing of Germany of Germany's new ruler, Kaiser Wilhelm II
 * France hoped their alliance with Russia would lead to a two-front war that would brake Germany's rising supremacy and allow Franch to recover the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine - but they lost to Germany through defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870
 * Triple Entente powers: Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy (became known as the Central Powers later), and the Germany had moved away from a defensive to growing dependence on the latter alone
 * Italy not only refused to support Germany and Austria-Hungry but in 1915 entered the conflict on the side of Triple Entente.
 * France maneuvered to annex Morocco to its north African colonies, but Germany threatened war if they advanced. ("great power" = having colonies)
 * imperalism and the alliance system were both linked to ever more intense and costly arms races, and G.B's (long-standing) control of the world's oceans - one of the key reasons for G.B's move for military cooperation with France and Russia
 * (**1914**) the tensions increased within the European state system were increasingly centered on Balkans (where Russia sought back Serbia in determeined resistance to the steady adnvance of the Austro-Hungrian empire) --> not surprising that the WW1 occured in Balkans
 * In July 1914 **Gavriel Princip** (Serbian nationalist) went to **Archduke Ferdinand** (and his wife **Sarajevo**) and made a list of demands that were impossible to meet with out surrendering their nations soveignty
 * Russia voewed support to Slavic friends in Serbia (if war broke out) - the alliance systems that forged in these decades came into play
 * mobolization of the "great powers" in July 1914 took place- though the leaders regraded it, they were pressured by diplomatic pressures
 * Once Russia mobolized against Germany, and Germany mobolized in retialation which was the invasion of Belguim
 * I see || It Means ||
 * Men on top of a pot labeled Balkan Trouble

The picture is in black and white.

Each man looks different (different types of outfits) || It means that the men are containing the troubles and most likely they are just ignoring the problems. They are just keeping them quiet.

Either it shows the time period of the drawing or it can also explain that the troubles were in black and white which usually means that they are apparent and very easy to see. So the men could be trying to avoid facing the apparent troubles maybe for economic or finical reasons.

This shows that they are each from different nations. This shows the diversity of nations that are ignoring this problem. || 4. Read the 14 Points points by Woodrow Wilson found here: [] 5.
