Synopsis

Excerpt from The Anglo-German Commercial and Colonial Rivalry as a Cause of the Great War: A Thesis Presented to the Department of History, University of Southern California, Los Angeles

That the present war is not due to religious differ ences on the part of the combatants is evident from the fact that Protestant England is in alliance with Cath olic (greek) Russia, and Catholic (roman) Portugal; and the Christian and the Infidel are brothers in arms, fighting each other 's battles in the armies of the Cen tral powers. In the same manner racial animosities and ties are annulled in the fact that German is ar rayed against German and Slav against Slav in the deadly conflict. That dynastic considerations had no influence in precipitating the war is also manifest in the fact that Germany and England, whose royal houses are intimately related through marital ties, are the sorest enemies.
