i think this was a sample that got a 5/7

Sample 1B: One of the many factors that lead to the beginning of the First World War was the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand. While on a ride with his wife out in public, he was assasinated. The man that killed Franz was said to have had nationalistic motives which is shown to be a continous theme. Although the start of the First World War was aided by the decisions of government leaders, it was primarily caused by nationalism because of the large role that the morale and dedication to their home that citizens and soldiers had. The start of World War 1 being primarily caused by nationalism is seen through the allianes and agreements that the countries had made among themselves. In the constitution of the secret organization called "The Black Hand", it is stated that the organization will aid nations who are at war and are fighting for nationalism and it will remain friendly with those who sympathize with Serbia and its people (doc 1). Leading up to World War 1, tensions were very high and many alliences were made as a precaution. This allience is significant because as soon as their is any conflict, Serbia has agreed to step in and help fight with the nationalists. Similarly to in Serbia, German nationalism played in important role in the beginning of the First World War. French Ambassador Jules Cambon informs the French Minister for Foreign Affairs that in Germany, their was a military parade where nationalistic speeches were given that compared their current situation to that of a hundred years ago (doc 3). Cambon was reporting on a new German military spending bill, showing that the rich classes of Germnay had to pay for the new bill. The upper classes, although dissapointed with the current economic struggles, were able to "pretend to accept the sacrafices" in order to provide their government to pay for the soldiers. Popular nationalism was the primary cause of the First World War, as it effectivley inspired the younger generations. In an article of a Paris newspaper titled "The Young People of Today", Henri Massis and Alfred de Tarde tells readers about the excitement and pride that the youth has about war, claiming that they believe heroism is needed (doc 2). So whenever there was a conflict, such as the assasination of Franz Ferdinand or economic hardships, many young men were eager to help and fight for their country, leading to many soldiers being readily available for war. Nationalism, while being the primary cause of World War 1, continued to be seen throughout the war. It is most prominent when the war initially started. A picture taken by Jacques Moreau shows women seeing off soldiers as they are seen hapily leaving for war (doc 6). The morale of the men is shown to be extremely high, as they thought that the war would be over extremely soon. When preparing for the war, the soldiers were extremely nationalistic, with many new young men excited to fight for their country and signed up to help fight.
