16. World War I began
because the Great
Powers had treaties with
each other for
protection.
These treaties required
nations to go to war
with each other when
threatened.
The Dual Alliance signed by
Germany and Austria-
Hungary saw the two
nations agree to support
each other if attacked by
Russia.
As the nations all developed
these treaties with one another,
a system of dominos was
created. An attack on one
would quickly tip the nations
against each other in war.
The treaties signed by
the Great Powers for
protection, instead
drew them all into war.

as a threat to our own home.
New Zealand joined
the war due to a
sense of duty for the
British Empire.
New Zealanders
fulfilled this desire to
defend home by joining
the war.
