CHC 2DI
S. ToddSlide2
-as we have already learned,
Gavrilo
Princip
(who killed the Archduke) belonged to the Serbian terrorist group, The Black Hand
-however, Austria-Hungary blamed the
Serbian government
for killing their heir to the throne
-so, Austria-Hungary sent Serbia an ULTIMATUM…Slide3
Terms of the Ultimatum
Crush the nationalism (strong feeling and desire for
independence
in your country)
Punish those involved in the assassination
Allow Austria-Hungary to have troops in Serbia in order to kill the Black HandSlide4Slide5
What happened?
Serbia refused term #3 of the ultimatum
Austria-Hungary took this as a complete refusal and thus invaded Serbia on July 26, 1914
Russia (ally of Serbia)
mobilized
(get ready for war) its army
(July 30, 1914)
France (ally of Russia) mobilizes as wellSlide6
Germany felt threatened by France and Russia and thus Germany ordered them to stop mobilizing their troops
But….THEY DON’T!
So…..Germany is mad!Slide7
War Begins
Germany declares war on Russia on August 1, 1914 and on France the next day
Britain therefore declares war on Germany on August 4, 1914
French border heavily fortified between Germany and France so Germany goes through neutral Belgium (Schlieffen Plan)
Britain declares war on Germany to protect BelgiumSlide8
What does this mean for Canada?
Canada became a country on July 1, 1867 and was no longer a colony of Britain
-now considered a “dominion” of Britain
Because of this dominion status, the British declaration of war automatically brought Canada into the war
left foreign policy decisions in the hands of the British parliament
However, the Canadian government had the freedom to determine the country's level of involvement in the war
