The First World War Started

The first world war started because of poverty The first world war started because of greed The first world war started because of an assassination The first world war started because of Ideas The first world war started because people wanted revenge Each Statement appears to claim, all of the truth Each statement, appears to conflict with the others Yet each statement is a different side of the truth To see all of the truth you need to look at the life of people To see all of the truth you need to look at all sides of a problem The first world war started because of poverty Gavrilo Princip start his life in poverty his family suffered with six of his sibling dying in infancy poverty became the breeding ground for his feelings of discontent education brought him into a world of ideas The first world war started because of greed people in power, used the assassination as an excuse, going to war they thought, would bring them profit, they didn't picture themselves losing but instead, pictured the profit of taking wealth from other countries The first world war started because of an assassination Gavrilo Princip joined a group called the Young Bosnia Believing in ideals of unification inspired by ideas from Romanticism, anarchism, and revolutionary socialism Serbian military puppets encouraged to commit the assassination The first word war started because of ideas, Ideas are all around us, flooding our lives every day, people say, get rid of the immigrants, they take our jobs, Immigrant's say, we are better than you, we have less criminals communism was an idea that inspired Gavrilo Princip The first world war, started because people wanted revenge, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife where assassinated People wanted revenge people wanted retaliation supporting government decisions people became ready for war with the support of the country people go to war. Nobody started the first world war because of religion, it started because of many, conflicting reasons these are but a few, I sure their are many more, but if we want to learn from the past, to make a better future, Think hard, of how to make a better world, without war.
