Political Cartoon March 15
This cartoon is showing that Obama is pretty much draining the treasury of all of its money, even though there isn't enough left to take. He is using the money to bail out banks and businesses, even though he's taking too much money, hence the cow looking very starved and empty. This cartoon is anti-Obama.

DBQ WWI
1. Great Britain, Germany, France
2. People are using weapons more, which is why there was more money being spent on them. It increases the chance of war because people actually have the materials to fight with.
3. Triple alliance: Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary
Triple Entente: France and Great Britain
Alliance systems contributed to the outbreak of WWI because if a nation knows that they have other nations as allies, they don't need to be afraid of that country defeating them. It gives them confidence that there aren't as many militaries trying to defeat them.
4. That they were allowing criminal activity by different associations against their government. Also, They tolerated the support of these organizations.
5. They demand that Serbia give them a formal assurance that the offensive activity will stop.
6. Germany, because they caused loss and damage. ?
7. That the war was not Germany's fault.
8. Imperialism of European states, retaliation, expansion, and taking away people's rights to "choose their destiny."
9. All countries involved
10. That political and military leaders did things that lead to the mobilization of their armies or failed to do things that could have prevented the war.
11. It caused multiple incidents and spread east
12. It was an attempt at the encirclement of Germany.
Causes:
- Increased spending on weapons
