This outstanding resource is designed to be used with a wide range of abilities, to help them understand the MAIN (Military Alliances, Arms race, Imperialist and Nationalist) causes of the First World War.
The resource includes two pages of activities, which have been carefully designed so that page one can be used with KS3 students, whilst page two includes extension cards to add challenge for KS4 /5.

The instructions / tasks that have been set for this activity are as follows:
1. Cut out the cards and sort them under one of the four headings below.
2. Review the cards with your partner. Which factor do you think was the most important?
3. Create a key to show which factors were either long term or short term causes ?
4. Extended answer: What were the causes of the First World War?
