The Alliance System and the Start of World War I

 

The map below requires the Flash plug-in from http://www.macromedia.com. Once it has downloaded, it will show the nations of Europe before World War I. The three empires made up the Triple Alliance, which became the central powers after the war started. The Allied powers are shown in green. These were led by the Triple Entente, made up of Great Britain, France, and Russia.

Once the map presentation is complete, use the right-click button on your mouse to stop the presentation or to have it repeat. Then go to the Interactive Map of Europe before and after World War I to see how the map of Europe changed as a result of the war and of the Treaty of Versailles.

 

You need Flash to see this animation. Or you can see this map at prewww1.htm.
