<span>The original Napoleonic Code, or Code Napoléon (originally called the Code civil des francais, or civil code of the French), was the French civil code, established at the behest of Napoléon. It entered into force on March 21, 1804. The Napoleonic code was the first legal code to be established in a country with a civil legal system. It was based on Roman law, and followed Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis in dividing civil law into:
1.personal status;
2.property;
3.acquisition of property.
The Napoleonic Code properly said dealt only with civil law issues; other codes were also published dealing with criminal law and commercial law.
Even though the Napoleonic Code was not the first, it was the most influential one. (For a list of early codes, see here). It was adopted in many countries that were occupied by French forces during the Napoleonic Wars and thus formed the basis of the private law systems also of Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and their former colonies.
Other codes with some influence in their own right were the Swiss, German and Austrian ones, but even there some influence of the French code can be felt, as the Napoleonic Code is considered the first sucessful codification. Thus, the civil law systems of the countries of modern Europe, with the exception of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Russia, and the Scandinavian countries have, to different degrees, been influenced by the Napoleonic Code. The Code has thus been the most permanent legacy of Napoleon. </span>
Answer:
Germany, under Kaiser Wilhelm II was a largely Militarist country. The joined their ally, Austria-Hungary, in war against Serbia, after the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Serbia's rejection of the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum. This ultimatum would have basically put Hungary in charge of the Serbian government, an act of imperialism. The alliances between Austria-Hungary, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire, as well as the Russian, French, and British alliance, later followed by the United States, allowed this to become a full scale world war. Nationalism played a big part in starting WW1, as the Serbian Terrorists who killed the archduke wee in favor of Serbian nationalism and against Austro-Hungarian influence.
