What can help people understand more about what an artist intended with a piece and what meaning that piece might have is the context (both of creation and of reception). The context of creation is the setting - political, social, economic, cultural, religious, philosophical - in which a work of art was produced, and the context of reception refers to the original and the subsequent scenarios in which the work of art was exhibited, experienced, and appropriated. Since works of art are shaped by that context, they are a reflection of it, or they simply arise from it (as much as from the artist's genius and creativity), knowing more about it can truly help to better understand the original artistic intentions and meaning of specific works of art, particularly of those that were created hundreds of years ago, as well as the subsequent interpretations by later generations of viewers.

Describe three causes of WWI. Include specific examples in your response. *
Marina86 [1]

Militarism:

Definition: the belief of a nation or its people to build and maintain a strong military, with the intention to use it whenever it is felt necessary.

Long/Short: Militarism was a long-term cause of the war; due to the length of time it takes a country to build its military to the strength necessary to wage a major war.

Germany-Stemming from the invasion of German-speaking peoples lands near the Rhine River by Napoleon during the Napoleonic Wars and the Franco-Prussian War, Otto von Bismarck made it his goal to keep the unified German State prepared to defend itself against France. He felt that it was necessary to keep France isolated and weak at all cost. France-Understanding that Germany was building a large military, saw it as a necessity to in turn build a large military to protect themselves against the Germans. Thus, these two nations were building massive military strength to use against each other. The Germans were also threatening the British by building a large Navy, making the British feel insecure about their place among the world’s elite navies for the first time in nearly a hundred years. Thus, the British would have to respond to this growing threat as well, by building a larger navy. Though these were not the only countries building and perfecting their arsenal, they were the most significant prior to the outbreak of WWI. It does not take long for these countries to find a reason to use their militaries against each other in an attempt to prove who is superior.

Alliances:

Definition: An agreement between two or more countries to work together for the benefit of each country.

Long/Short: Alliances are seen as a long-term cause of WWI. Due to the secret alliances created by between nations, it is inevitable that a disagreement between two nations will lead to the involvement of many nations, who have secretly agreed to help one another.

The two major alliances that developed prior to WWI were the Triple Entente (Allies) and the Triple Alliance (Central Powers). The Triple Entente consisted of Great Britain, France and Russia. This alliance was created in an effort to counter the Triple Alliance, which consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. At the beginning of the war, the Triple Alliance will become known as the Central Powers and will not include Italy. Italy finds that it is in their best interest to wait and see what unfolds during the war; thus, allowing them to further their growth as a nation. The Central Powers will eventually consist of Austria-Hungary , the German Empire, the Ottoman Empire , and the Kingdom of Bulgaria . The Triple Entente would become known as the Allied Powers and grow considerably, consisting of the Kingdom of Belgium, Kingdom of Serbia, the French Third Republic, the Russian Empire, the British Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the Empire of Japan, the United States, the Portuguese Republic, the Kingdom of Romania, the Kingdom of Greece and many others who lent military and financial aid.

Nationalism:

Definition: Extreme pride in one’s nations or state.

Long/Short: Nationalism is a long-term cause of WWI. As many of the other causes, nationalism takes time to create. People are not born with the love of their country and land instilled within them; instead, they must learn to love it.

Germany was extremely proud of the military power that they had become after the Franco-Prussian War. As a new unified nation after January of 1871, the Germans felt nearly unstoppable as a world power. The French on the other hand had been embarrassed by the Germans and found it necessary to regain their pride. These feelings of resentment led to the massive militarism between these two nations. Also with the growth of Pan-Slavism or the unification of all Slavic peoples, protected by Russia, the areas around Serbia became very unstable. The Serbians were prepared to create their own independent Slavic state supported by the Russians. This will lead to what we call the “Balkan Powder Keg” or an area in the Balkans that would only take a minor issue to explode into full on war.

The primary goal of Islamic fundamentalists has been to defend their traditional culture from the West. Since the 1970s, in an effort to distinguish their own from the western culture, many fundamentalists have been avoiding western dress style, activities such as most sports, laughter, handshakes etc.
