To do this essay, you will have to talk about all the five long-term causes of the war, AND ALSO - since the date given is 1914 - mention the crises in the decade before 1914.
Because it is the first essay in the syllabus - and because it is so long and difficult - I have done the first few sections for you. Notice how I have used the 'hints' in what I have written.
Use this writing frame to build your essay. Instructions are in red bold. Mouseover the maroon text for hints on what to say.
