What is the Ku Klux Klan

History

The Ku Klux Klan was a racist terrorist group founded after the Civil War.

Details:

The Ku Klux Klan began in 1866 in Tennessee as an organization of Confederate veterans of the Civil War.  They derived the name "Ku Klux" from the Greek word κύκλος (<em>kuklos) ,</em> which means circle.  The group became a resistance movement against radical Reconstruction in the South, seeking to intimidate blacks and restore white supremacy.  The group carried out many acts of extreme violence, and acts in Congress and a decision by the Supreme Court <em>(United States v. Harris, </em>1882) went against the Klan.  By that time, though, the Klan had mostly stopped operating because it had pretty much achieved its goal:  white dominance in the South.

A revived version of the Klan appeared again beginning in 1915, expanding its target beyond blacks to Jews and others.  At its height in the 1920s, this revived version of the Ku Klux Klan had more than 4 million members.  Today it is a fringe group in the US, with only a few thousand members.

How could a dispute between the Tripe alliance and the Triple entente draw all of Europe into the conflict?
dlinn [17]
It's important to know the difference between an alliance and an entente in order to answer this question.
alliance means that when one enters a war, every ally of that country enters as well.  entente means that when one enters a war, others are not required to.
the Triple Alliance meant that once war started for Austria-Hungary, war also began for the Allied German States and Italy.
however, although Serbia (where the Alliance was attacking) was "friends" with the entente, it was not a member of the Triple Entente--and because as an entente they were not required to fight for one another anyway--it was up to France, Britain, and Russia had the option to join or not.
but all ended up joining because, to put it jokingly, "their friends are fighting our friends!"
