One cause is that many powerful nations were longing for war because of the distrust they had amongst each other. In the words of Otto Von Bismarck, “Europe is a powder keg about to explode, and it’s leaders are smoking right above it”.
Another reason was the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand. The future prince of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire being killed by a man from Serbia caused outrage and spewed into all our war. The third reason was the fear of an expanding German Empire. When the German Empire was formed after the Franco-Prussian war, they were close allies with Germany because of Otto Von Bismarck, however, Prince Wilhelm fired Bismarck and cut ties with Britain by building a large navy of their own that would challenge The United Kingdom’s dominance over the seas. France has been longing for revenge after the humiliation at the Franco-Prussian war, and the Kingdom of Russia wanted to protect its title as “Protector of the Slavs” in Eastern Europe, so defending Serbia was a good idea, they also wanted to project their strength.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.

in his book, the riddle of the rosetta stone, james giblin talks about how there was a young british polymath and physician named thomas young who made a lot of advances on the deciphering of the rosetta stone. he says that even though young made a lot of mistakes because he was working under false assumptions, he also made huge contributions like deciphering three out of the seven symbols (more than anyone else before him). young published his findings and continued his good work but he wasn't able to progress much further due to some unfavorable situations, he still laid the basis for many other scholars and of course for the man who has been generally known to have deciphered it, jean-françois champollion
