the Balkans and get oil from he Middle East. Most countries around them were opposed to the construction of this railroad, but Kaiser Wilhelm had no interest in the opposition. He assumed that the only reason they were unhappy with this was because they didnt want Germany to become that powerful; they figured that the others were jealous of them. The railroad that he wanted to build would give him relative control over many other colonies around it, and it would prevent the unity of the Slav nations. Overall, this would separate all of the nations and make the countries around it enemies of Germany, causing war. Germany played a large part, but on the other hand, Serbia was also a cause for trouble. In Serbia, a society called the Black Hand and its leader, Apis, was determined to unite the Slav nations into a country called Yugoslavia, and they usually used terrorism to take control. Germany did not bother the southern countries other than wanting to build their railroad through there, they only affected the northern countries, but they did very deeply affect them. In order to gain power and start a revolution in Austria, the Black Hand planned to assassinate Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand, and his wife, Sophie. When they successfully killed them both, all of Austria was angered, and they declared war on Serbia. All over the continent of Europe, the Black Hand continued to menace people in order to take control of the Balkan Peninsula. This did nothing but cause hatred towards Serbia and make more wars. Germany caused the majority of war in northern Europe, but in the southern parts, Serbia was mostly the cause, along with their Black Hand society, and the rage they brought to surrounding empires. The German government and military had no mercy on peaceful, weak countries, such as Belgium and France. They both wanted to keep the peace, and only fight if necessary. Germany made it necessary for both of them and it brought great destruction to these places. Germany was greedy and their greed brought nothing but suffering in the countries around them and the ones they attacked. In the end, if
Germany had been happy with what they had and had not forced other countries into war, WWI would have been much less substantial and it would have been completely different, most likely in an improved fashion.
