Shortly about former time: “ Root Causes of World War I Kononov Igor, Chief-Director “Global Alliance Business Innovation / GABI” LLC, Sevastopol – Kiev, Ukraine Outline : The topic of disclosure or transfer the “Root Causes of World War I” are relevant and now nearly 100 years since the beginning of the war, the relevance of research on this question looks more than appropriate. 20th century is characte-rized by the continuing tragedy of peoples and at the same time, the agreements reached, which marked the beginning of a conscious rejection of rolling off into the abyss of self-destruction of mind in evolution among scientists and politicians marked the beginning of humanitarian thinking on the future of the planet Earth. The scale of historical events in the early 20th century, running in a closely woven thong ideological differences, has created the illusion of achieving world domination. The modern analysis of the “Root Causes of World War I” illustrate, how one cannot go to mankind in the future. As a result of such evaluations can offer the non-standard approach in assessing the historical problems, and consider the results of such analyses within the exception will imposed on ideologi-cal cliche. This article is intended to reveal the unconventional approach to the composition of causes, all of which can be used to take into account in making decisions, to avoid similar historical events in the future. Political background The Triple Alliance was issued in final form to 1882. it included Germany, Austro-Hungary, Italy. The Entente was defined by its association from 1904 to 1907. It included Britain, France and Russia. The leaders of the political opposi-tion were Germany and England. Germany, by the beginning war, reinforcing the ideological dogma of the superiority one nation over others. Opposition leader in the economy Germany was England - the colonial empire, have given rise to major causes in an effort to reshape the world markets. A significant role in the building of contradictions was connected with the thesis Social Darwinism. The basic urge of this provision was interstate rivalry, which was seen as a logical continuation of struggle for survival with the mandatory extension of living space. Aggressive position of the capital ultimately played a decisive role in unleashing the war. From the ambitions Leaders of nations were born belief in the rightness of their exclusivity and outcome. Geography of military action has a scale that has become global. Economic background Politics is the concentrated expression of the economy. It become second in industrial production in the world (after the United States) and first in Europe. The population of Germany was biggest in Europe. England had growing expan-sion in the Middle East, around railway in Iraq. Begin military actions in colonial enclaves China and Africa, which ex-pand pictures of the future tragedy. Problems of Alsace, Lorraine and Germany created the Ruhr issue purely national character. Military bud-gets have been supported in the Governments of States which eventually were involved not only in the war events. The real military action was not born on empty place. Budgets countries, member’s World War I, in-creased by 80% over the period from 1895 to 1913. Military background Permanent war and crises in North Africa (the Moroccan crisis of 1905 and 1911), Russo-Japanese war (1904-1905), Italo -Turkish war (1911-1912), Balkan’ wars (1912-1913) have fueled tension between the leaders of the States in Eu-rope. Promotion of attitudes of superiority of one nation over another, claim rights in the territories of other countries and chauvinism whipped up hysteria among the population in the States of Europe. By the beginning of the war, the production of military goods of the Triple Alliance is only slightly inferior to similar indicators in the countries of the Entente. But the raw material and human potential was historically on the side of the Entente. The beginning of the war Coincidence or need defines the beginning of the events? Human factor identified on the World calendar event, which were the explosion of emotions and the chain of events at the beginning of hostilities. Assassination of the Archduke of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Franz Ferdinand, took place in the Bosnian city of Sarajevo in the morning 11:0 June 28, 1914. This was the beginning World War I, which was attended by Germany, Russia, England, France, the United States, Japan and other countries. Analysts believe that this is an exaggeration: World War I was due over the root caus-es, but a shot played role in the context of war. Just of still later, July 31, the Emperor of Russia Nikolai II declared a general mobilization in Russia. August 1, Germany declared war on Russia, and August 3 - France and August 4, Britain declared war on Germany. The outcome of military operations The main strategic instrument in Germany was Blitzkrieg in the form of lightning strike victory on the Western front and deterrent, defensive battles on the eastern front, with the subsequent defeat of Russia. The failure of German plans, however, sprained while events on the fronts in Europe, Middle East and Africa. The war lasted 4 years and three months in total. World War I was attended by 38 States, with a population of 1.5 billion people, or 87% of the population around the world. The loss of people in the war amounted to more than 10 million dead and almost 20 million wounded and maimed. November 11, 1918 at Compiègne armistice was signed between Germany and the allies. And at the end of the Conference, 27 Allied Nations at the Palace of Versailles, January 18, 1919 were defined the terms of the peace Treaty with Germany. The Treaty was signed June 28, 1919. The 14 points of Wilson s» The outcome of the Treaty for Germany looked more than disastrous. The loss 70 thousand square km of its territory, the loss of all colonies and limitations have an army and used industrial equipment for the production of military equipment. By the beginning of 1918, Germany only monopolies earned 10 billion marks of gold equivalent ounces. In the United States monopoly earned 35 billion dollars. Total costs and expenses of the participants in the war amounted to 208 billion dollars High price totals World War I. But, equally, and historically required at that time. In the end not all decide the monopoly and the ambitions of the leaders of the Nations. Conclusion The wars begin and end. Normally, the winners of these events do not exist. And this is especially true for people and combatants. Fascism, nationalism and communism were not laid in the Procrustean bed of the future in the recent history of the planet Earth. What are root causes of the emergence of global wars? Do not overgrows trail of barbarism in human consciousness? Is subordination superiority one nation over other? For all of these reasons, problems and achievements is the main link - Man! Is there a difference between the Emperor and soldier private first class? Outcome evaluations of “Root Causes World War I” can be thought as a concept in which the role and place of the man defined as an object that is associated with the probability of the highest order in the system of decision-making, and borders possible. Otherwise, the price for the victory becomes disproportionate to the invested resources. So, what is the root of all problems or causes? This Is the Man! Even the smallest error in decision making can give rise to start a disaster. Whether humanity or a society, create the conditions under which the role and place of each person will be taken into account in the context of the decision-making process? Is the “14-point Wilson’ to create probability of higher order, which will serve as the outer limits, to allow the value of human life on planet Earth? Answer - it is permissible and even relevant in the form of a postulate, which is defined as: «SURVIVAL - in FUTURE”!
