Militarism
Militarism was to grow a strong military to be able to defend your country and allies to achieve your goals in a war. Nations would usually race to build up their troops the quickest so they'd be prepared for attack at any moment. Nationalism created most of the rivalries that had began to have the best military. The arms race was a rivalry that went between militaries. This is the time where more weapons came into play, creating the battle to be the bloodiest of that time. Militarism was costly since they needed more supplies to support the troops. Most military or government leaders would plead for their nations pride to help out their troops. The militaries always wanted to stay on top. If one army increased in any way, the rest would follow, gaining what was needed to be equal or greater than the others. The leaders needed the money so their military would stay advanced and equipped for battle. Militarism was enforced to help solve some problems of the people and government, but also started some rivalry issues of nations. The nations felt like they could never be beaten and had pride in their soldiers. It also gave them the power and confidence to take down the other nations, which is known as Imperialism. Creating friendships, or "alliances", helped them gain success and support in their military if they needed it. Militarism gave the soldiers the excitement to battle for their country in war, but others feared the war and what it may bring. Militarism was a helpful kick-off to World War 1.

Alliances were to agree between nations to trust, defend, and share strategies with each other. The alliance system was a main part of war where 2 or more nations to merge together in war. These allies have each others back by a binded law, but can easily be broken by disagreement or broken trust. They have to support each ally with help in war, resources from their country, and money if a nation is struggling to form their troops. The alliances in war were made by the rivalries that wanted to be avoided. With support and better protection of the country's citizens, they would not interfere with any battle. If any army went in battle upon another, then it is the allies duty to be there to support their fellow nation. The alliance system surely kept each nations trust, but it made war tensions worse. Instead of only 2 nation in battle, it would reach out to their allies causing more rivalries between nations and causing more conflict to escalate. World War 1 truly only had 2 major alliances, but small allies progressed through the war. The Allied Powers and Central Powers were the large alliances and fought against each other in the time of war. Each part of MANIA contributed to the war, but they all guided alliances to come true.

Nationalism
Yellow Journalism
Nationalism was feeling pride in your country and the importance of your nation mattered more than any other. This term first started off as the devotion and love for the countries you inhabited. Each nation was proud of their cultures so the people wrote music, books, and plays dedicated to their country. Then it got to the terms of feeling nothing else had any meaning behind it and only your nation was significant compared to your country. The nations wanted to outdo the others to stay on top and wanted respect for how important they thought they were to be. Rivalries began causing many fights between nations of who was the best. These arguments went too far, making these fights worse than expected, leading to a better chance of war between nations. Newspapers were spread around to citizens about the rivalries of their country as a way to earn more money from the fast investment of the people. Many of these citizens bought these papers for the fear of invasion, but some hoped for war to look superior compared to other nations. These newspapers would use yellow journalism to bring in the cash as exaggerating the information. The government did so similarly but used propaganda as a way to lie about the rivalries between nations the act seem more dramatic. The government created more newspapers that gave support of more decisions being passed. Many leaders of government used the techniques of propaganda to support the war and the troops as it seemed but truly wanted the profit. Nationalism led to Imperialism, proving it's out to take over another place for your nations benefit and Militarism so they'd be more respected by minored militaries. Nationalism had initiated many world issues of the nations that led to World War 1.
