Causes and Consequences of the War of 1914 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book gives an in-depth look at the underlying reasons for World War 1. The author has included diplomatic correspondence in the volume, so the reader can follow the events as they unfolded. The author doesn't try to establish blame for the conflict as much as he does illuminate the factual lead-up to the war. The book highlights the extreme importance for nations to be able to build consensus among themselves before a crisis presents itself, as diplomacy is much less effective during a crisis. Despite having avoided war in the Balkans for many years, Austria's 1908 annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was a 'smoking gun' event that signaled a new era of brinkmanship. The book additionally provides insight into the role of Russia in the lead-up to the war, as well as the failures of Germany and England to find a way to de-escalate tensions, which may have been the only way to avoid war. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
