militarism- \.Iarry
countries were
building up their
armies, and
other
countries
saw
this
as
a
threat-
Fourth
reason:
nationalism. Nationalism
is
patriotic
feeling
principles,
or
efforts.
lsationalism
can
sometimes
be more extreme,
which
is especially
marked by
a
feeling
of
superiority
over
other
countries.
Some
countries
were
feeling very
patriotic,
and other nations felt
inferior
to
the
power
and
might that
these
countries
displayed.
Nationalism
helped fuel
not
only
WWI,
but World War
II
as
well. The
fifth
cause,
somewhat
indirect,
was
the
assassination
of
Archduke FranzFerdinand
of
Austria-Hungary.
His
assassinalion caused
Austria-Hungary to
deciare
war on
Serbia, and this started the
war rolling.
WW[,
which
is
mainly
when the
Holocaust
happened,
was
really
an extension
of
the
first world
war.
The
problems
that had
caused
Wryfl
weren't really
solved
so
they
caused
another war. Innocents like
Frarv Thaler
rvere
a{Iected
by
these
problems,
even
though
they
might not
have
known it.
I
enjoyed
reading
this
book
because
it
educated
me
about
something
I
wasn't
very
knowledgable
about
at
all.
tlnforgottenwasn't
written
with
a
ton
of
bravado and action,
but
rather
simpiy
and bitter-less.
I
would
recommend
this
book
to
anyone
who
is
interested
in
the
concentration
camps
or
theJewish Holocaust.
