MONTAGE OF HEADS OF STATE & ARMIES FLOCKING TO ALLIANCES. JUNE 28, 1914. AFTER ARCHDUKE FERDINAND & WIFE'S ASSASSINATION IN SERBIA.

Produced in the 1960s, this educational film gives an overview of the events leading up to the outbreak of World War I in Europe, and the reason for American entry into the conflict.<p><p>There were many factors that led up to the start of World War I in Europe. A lot of these factors were rooted in the deep history of the old powers of Europe including Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Britain. The real causes of World War I included politics, secret alliances, imperialism, and nationalistic pride. However, there was one single event, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, which started a chain of events leading to war. <p><p>In the years leading up to the war, the nations of Europe were constantly jockeying for power and making alliances. Germany made an alliance with Austria-Hungary and Italy in 1881. These countries all agreed to protect each other in the event they were attacked by France. However, Italy then went and made a secret alliance with France saying they would not aide Germany. <p><p>In response to Germany's alliances, France and Russia established an alliance in 1892. In 1904, Britain and France signed an agreement. The Triple Entente was formed between France, Britain, and Russia in 1907. Germany felt that this powerful alliance surrounding them posed a real threat to their existence and power in the region. <p><p>Imperialism is when a country expands its influence and power into a large empire. Some European countries, such as France and Britain, had created large worldwide empires and had become very rich. Other European countries, such as Russia and Germany, wanted to create their own vast empires. This caused competition and conflict between many of the countries throughout the world. <p><p>In 1914, the situation in Europe was tense. Secret alliances, internal politics, and the desire to grow empires had built up distrust and dislike between many of the European powers. All it would take was one international event and Europe would be at war. <p><p>On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was assassinated in Sarajevo. The Austria government believed that the assassination was organized by the Serbian government. They also saw this as an opportunity to regain control of Serbia. <p><p>Austria-Hungary issued a number of harsh demands on Serbia, threatening to invade if Serbia did not comply. They gave them 48 hours to respond. When Serbia's response fell short of the demands, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia on July 28. <p><p>Austria-Hungary had hoped they could quickly take over Serbia and that Serbia's ally, Russia, would not risk a major war in order to help Serbia. However, they figured wrong. Russia immediately began to mobilize its troops and prepare for war. In response, Germany, Austria-Hungary's close ally, declared war on Russia on August 1st. A few days later, Germany declared war on France and invaded Belgium. Britain then declared war on Germany and World War I had begun. <p><p>Historians over the years have tried to figure out who was really to blame for starting the war. Many historians today agree that Germany wanted to start the war. The German leaders felt that they were being surrounded by enemies (France, Russia) and that war was going to happen eventually. They felt that the sooner the war occurred, the better chance Germany had to win. <p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

SOUNDBITE (English) Alex Kapranos: (writing an album full of singles) "When we were writing the songs that ended up on the album we were definitely trying to write them as singles so that every song would be a single, we weren't writing an album, we were writing a much of songs that could get collected together. We like the idea of as many of them as possible being a single. And if we put 5 singles from the album out in the UK that would be totally taking the piss, but we like the idea of being able to go somewhere else and putting out different ones, so that the story of the band is sightly different in a different country. And like Paul (Thomson, drums) said, when we played 'This Fire' in the States it really seemed to connect with people. We always go down after the gig and chat with people and ask them which songs they are into and which songs they respond to." Universal 5.

It's something that comes along and it's nice when it happens but we didn't actively think we've got to try and win these awards. But it is lovely when you get them."

What we never want to do is start ponceing about as if we are better than anybody else, because we don't feel that we are. " Universal 9.

SOUNDBITE (English) Alex Kapranos: (writing pop tunes as a reaction to leftfield culture) "The environment that we were coming from was a very leftfield, alternative environment where you would go to a gig and there would either be somebody making clicks and cuts on a laptop or someone with three quarters of an hour of feedback, and we just thought the most radical thing to do in that environment, the most oblique thing to do was to play pop tunes and so that's what we decided we wanted to do. " Universal 11. Music clip: 'This Fire' Franz Ferdinand FRANZ FERDINAND RELEASE THEIR FIRST DOWNLOADABLE SINGLE. Award winning Scottish band Franz Ferdinand are releasing a downloadable single through their website. 'This Fffire,' a re-recorded version of the album track 'This Fire,' will be available to download from 15 November. A dance version is also available. A new mix of 'This Fire' has also been released as a traditional single in America - but nowhere else. The band are keen to keep their method of releasing hits as fresh as possible. "When we were writing the songs that ended up on the album we were definitely trying to write them as singles so that every song would be a single, we weren't writing an album, we were writing a much of songs that could get collected together," said singer Alex Kapranos. "We like the idea of as many of them as possible being a single. And if we put 5 singles from the album out in the UK that would be totally taking the piss, but we like the idea of being able to go somewhere else and putting out different ones, so that the story of the band is sightly different in a different country." Named after the Austro-Hungarian Archduke whose assassination started World War One, Franz Ferdinand are singer/guitarist Alex Kapranos, bassist Bob Hardy, drummer Paul Thomson and guitarist Nick McCarthy. Touted by many as the band of the year after blasting onto the UK music scene with the hit singles 'Take Me Out' and 'Michael,' the foursome also won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize with their eponymous debut album 'Franz Ferdinand.' The group have also been busy introducing other parts of the world to their brand of edgy, arty, guitar pop, spending most of 2004 on the road, with gigs in Australia, Europe and America as well as the UK. They are performing in Germany and Japan this month, before heading back to America for a string of dates in December. This week, Franz Ferdinand added three new dates to their December US tour. They will now be playing Washington DC on 4 December, Seattle on 9 December and in San Francisco as part of the Bill Graham Civic Live 105's 'Not So Silent Night.' They are well on the way to achieving the holy grail for British bands, conquering the States. "I don't really think of it in terms of breaking it, it seems awfully violent that, but we, people are always friendly to us over here and if you get the impression that people want you to play then of course you want to play. And it's just been building up for us and, I think most important is for us to play places where people want us to play. And we have definitely felt that right across the States. " The Glasgow-based rockers were awarded the Mercury Music Prize in September. Despite being the favourites on the 12-strong shortlist, Kapranos was still shocked, saying they still didn't expect to win votes from the judges, who have been noted for dismissing favourites in previous years. "We haven't got a speech or anything," the singer said at the award ceremony in London. "We're truly gobsmacked, it's fantastic and we're very chuffed, very honoured. Every band (on the short list) deserved it more than we did." Even with time for the results to sink in, the band still finds the whole idea of awards a little strange. Bob Hardy explains: "It's nice to have an award, but we didn't really get the band together to win awards , we got together to play music. It's something that comes along and it's nice when it happens but we didn't actively think we've got to try and win these awards. But it is lovely when you get them." Kapranos adds: "It's all a bit surreal going to these ceremonies because we never really imagines ourselves going to those things. They are things that celebrities do, those other people." Meanwhile, their growing fame doesn't appear to have gone to their heads: "We don't really consider ourselves to be celebrities, people come up to you in the street and say hey how are you doing and blah, blah, I want to talk to you about your music and whatever, and that is understandable because they've heard our music and we are totally happy about that. What we never want to do is start ponceing about as if we are better than anybody else, because we don't feel that we are. " As for the sound that has made them so popular, the band say they just wanted to be different: "The environment that we were coming from was a very leftfield, alternative environment where you would go to a gig and there would either be somebody making clicks and cuts on a laptop or someone with three quarters of an hour of feedback, and we just thought the most radical thing to do in that environment, the most oblique thing to do was to play pop tunes and so that's what we decided we wanted to do," explained Alex.
