Was World War I avoidable? Was it inevitable? Why did it happen?

I don’t know how to handle this Political Science question and need guidance.

Was World War I avoidable? Was it inevitable? Why did it happen?

If you believe that the war was avoidable, explain why in the Avoidable forum, supporting your argument with either logical arguments or historical facts. If you believe that the war wast inevitable, explain why in the Inevitableforum. In either case, post your essay no later than midnight on Thursday, January 16, using source cited facts and theory to support your argument.

Avoidable

Inevitable

This question must be answered in a 4 paragraph summary using this format:

Your postings should be well written and clearly address the issues being discussed. I expect each writing assignment to have:

(1) An introductory paragraph that addresses directly the question posed by the instructor;

(2) A body of factual examples that support your answer; these examples may be drawn from either the assigned readings or footnoted sources researched independently by the student;

(3) Factual examples and the published work of others must be appropriately cited; plagiarized threads will be penalized. I strongly encourage you not to cite Wikipedia as a source for academic essays.

(4) A succinct concluding paragraph.
