Answer:

<h2>Russia began to mobilize its troops along Germany's borders.</h2>

Explanation/context:

The systems of alliances and military plans which were put in place before World War I presupposed a major war between the countries which were tied together with alliances. The Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies. Germany was part of a group of allies in opposition to the Triple Entente.

So here's what happened to start the Great War (World War I). When an Austrian prince and his wife were assassinated in Serbia, the Austrian Empire threatened the nation of Serbia with retaliatory action (even though the assassination was carried out by a terrorist group, not the Serbian government). Russia responded to Austria's threat, because Russia was bound to protect its Slavic ally, Serbia. Germany responded to the mobilization of Russian troops, and when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, they implemented the Schlieffen Plan (drawn up by one of their generals), which called for them to go on attack vs. France. That pulled France and Britain into the war immediately as well, and the war spread and became a global conflict.

How did people like henry Grady envision the new south

MariettaO [177]

New South, New South Democracy or New South Creed is a phrase that hasbeen used intermittently since the American Civil War to describe the AmericanSouth, after 1877.

The term "New South" is used in contrast to the Old South of the plantationsystem of the antebellum period.

The original use of the term "New South" was an attempt to describe anindustrial and less slave reliant South.

The industrial revolution of the North greatly influenced the "New South." Theantebellum South was largely agrarian and sought to preserve its culturalidentity in departing from the Union, which led to the irrepressible conflict.

Richard H. Edmonds of the Baltimore Manufacturers Record was anotherstaunch advocate of New South industrialization.

One way of envisioning the New South was the socialist Ruskin Colonies.

The historian Paul Gaston coined the specific term "New South Creed" todescribe the hollow promises of white elites like Grady that industrializationwould bring prosperity to the region.
