Throughout history there has been almost continuous world conflict. In certain circumstances this conflict is inevitable. As can be seen before the start of World War 1, the large world powers of Europe sought to control as much wealth and power as they could. In this way, these rival countries were already facing off against each other before the war. War was inevitable for these Europeans nations because of their industrial rivalry, and the murder that started the war, the death of Archduke France Ferdinand of Austria. In the past, conflict has helped to fuel industries, that profit from war, and give work to citizens. It also creates a national image for the country involved in conflict as its citizens gather together to fight for their country. During World War 1, the national image of countries were greatened even more than before when new technologies, as products of war, effected the lives of all the country's citizens. These new innovations also spread to effect the lives of all Europeans and more. Tanks and planes created new means of transport, and new communications and medical achievements made during the war effected the world after its end.
It is okay to violate the sovereignty of another nation when they pose a threat. This can also be true if they had previously been a national threat and needed to be secured. With this threat of government occupation, many countries keep neutralities going between other countries. However, in the case of World War 1, it was the violation of the sovereignty of Serbia that pulled the trigger on France Ferdinand, beginning the War to End All Wars.
