European leaders approached these problems with a mindset based on war and strength, rather than peace. This led to a global war that redrew the world map and resulted in the death of millions and the displacement of many more. **Inquiry** * What is the connection between thinking about problems and crises with a mindset of war and strength, and the problems the world faces today? **Looking at the Map** Examine the following diagram to see the major international crises and problems that preceded World War I. ## Crises Preceding World War I * **Balkan Wars:** 1913-1912 * **Morocco Crisis (1):** 1905 * Background: The crisis stemmed from competition between European powers for colonies.
