5、text of Lesson 3 War Memories. Now Id like you to tell me how World War I was started. S1: World War I started when Austria declared war on Serbia. Then Germany jumped in and declared war on Russia and France. S2: World War One started in 1914 and ended in 1918. World War 1 started because of mainly
6、 two reasons. The first reason is because of Germany. Germany was trying to find out a way to attack and conquer Austria-Hungary. Of course since Germany was doing this everyone in Europe knew about it too. The tensions in Europe got really high. In 1914 Europe started to divide and get a weaker env
7、ironment. They started to attack each other and mainly Germany. Tensions were high between industrialized countries over colonies. Tensions were also caused by the nationalism that different nationality groups within empires had. Many countries also formed alliances for mutual defense. The Triple Al
8、liance, between Italy, Germany, and Austria-Hungary, and the Triple Entente, between France, Great Britain, and Russia, were formed. (Although later, Italy joined the Allies.) So, tensions were high in 1914 when Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austria-Hungarian throne, was assassinated by a Slavic nati
9、onalist, Gavrilo Princip. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Russia, Serbias historic protector, mobilized the borders of Austria-Hungary and Germany, a likely ally of Austria-Hungary. Germany demanded that Russia stop its threatening acts and demanded France to stay neutral if war were to brea
10、k out. Both refused. Germany declared war on Russia on August 1 and declared war on France on August 3. Germany went through the neutral country of Belgium to attack. Great Britain declared war on Germany on August 4 because of this. Then, a great war was started, using U-boats (submarines, introduc
11、ed by Germany), poison gas, tanks, and machine guns for the first time . T: Thanks, youve done a very good job. What about World War II? S3: World War Two started in 1939 mainly because of Germany. When Hitler took over Germany, he wanted to take some countries in Europe. When he did take over count
12、ries, Britain and France got mad at Germany. They told them to stop invading countries. Britain also said that if they took over Poland, they and France would go to war with Germany. But Germany did not listen and invaded Poland. Then Britain and France got mad at Germany, and declared war on German
13、y, September 3, 1939. Thus World War Two had started. T: Thanks. Can we say both the world wars were started for reasons of “greed”? What about the American Civil War? S4: After Abraham Lincoln was elected president, he did away with the slavery. But the South wanted to break away from the union and
14、 set up their own country, where they would be free to keep slavery. Thus the American Civil War broke out in 1861. T: Thanks for sharing with us. So it is clear that the war was started for reasons of “race prejudices”. Now open your books and turn to Page 25. Lets deal with Ex 8. Step II Speaking
