This is about the US in world affairs during the late 1800s and early 1900s

American foreign policy during the 1890s was based on many factors that each acted as an individual justification for our country’s behavior as a whole. Racism, nationalism, commercialism, and humanitarianism each had its own role in the actions America took against other nations.

In the year 1914, two gunshots had forever changed history. In this time, the countries of Europe had begun to rival in the topic of a greater territory. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had just won over Bosnia, causing considerable disagreement with the Bosnians (Nelson, 2015). Some Bosnian nationalists believed that Bosnia should be its own country, and not under the power of Austria-Hungary. Serbia also wanted the country of Bosnia under their rule due to the great population of Serbians living in Bosnia at the time. For this reason, Austria-Hungary disliked Serbia (Clare, 2002/2014). During this same time period, many other European countries wanted more land and began forming alliances. Serbia had allied with Russia, while Austria-Hungary was formed in alliance with Germany (Nelson, 2015). Despite all the conflict over land and the tension

On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were shot dead in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a member of a Serbian nationalist group called the Black Hand. The Black Hand was derived from a secret Serbian terrorist organization called the Narodna Odbrana, which worked towards the unification of all South Slavs in an independent, sovereign country called Yugoslavia. The Narodna Odbrana was created because South Slavs living in Serbia, as well as in Bosnia and other Slavic provinces, felt a strong nationalistic desire to unify all the members of their cultural group in a new country called Yugoslavia. The Black Hand’s commitment to Serbian nationalism led it to replace the Narodna Odbrana, while adopting its purpose, organization, and terrorist philosophy. Members of the Black Hand, driven by their desire to die as martyrs, assassinated Franz Ferdinand to quickly set the tone for a revolution meant to weaken the powerful state of Austria-Hungary and unite all South Slavs in a Yugoslavic nation.

The United States was living in bliss and isolation from threatening powers. Isolation from foreign affairs was sought due to the U.S. not needing to pursue conflicts that could disrupt their grind. The U.S. felt they had security from conflicts with European nations since the Atlantic Ocean created distance from one another. The U.S. also felt any neighboring countries were too weak to create conflict. Interest in gaining additional territory outside North America sparked when a number of Americans urged U.S. officials to do so, this is also known as Imperialism. Many justified imperialism by claiming it was the new manifest destiny; Historian Brooks Adams went on to say “Not to advance is to recede,” in The Law of Civilization and Decay (1895).

The countries in the Triple Alliance were Germany, Italy, and Austria – Hungary they had formed an alliance and promised to help each other if any of them had to go to war. The Triple Entente was Russia, France, and Britain they all promised to help each other if they were attacked by any other countries. They signed an agreement in 1893.

Shortly after the Triple Alliance was formed, France, Russia, and Great Britain came together to form the Triple Entente.
