In this political cartoon, it demonstrates one of the most predominant reasons in which caused the Great War, World War I. This picture depicts the alliances that were made due to the war, with one side consisting of 7 allies from different nations including the U.S., Great Britain, and Russia, and the other side only consisting of 2 allies, Germany and Austria-Hungary. With the thought of 7 allies against only 2 rivals, it seems like it would be a pretty easy win for this team, yet, as the picture suggests, Germany and Austria-Hungary were large rivals in the War and it was a struggle that lasted four years. It can be seen that the picture depicts these two rivals as being larger, more fit, with feet firm on the ground they stand on, but the other side shows the central allied powers as weaker nations as they struggle to bring their rivals down. This just goes to show that it was a difficult war throughout the years but eventually the Central Allied Powers pulled through and overcame their rivals.
