The current dogma concerning the origins of the First World War
supports the militarist myth that wars are caused by stupid, evil,
aggressive nations on the other side of the world who refuse to get
along with the intelligent, good, peaceful people on this side.
This book attempts to understand the real causes of war and to
dissociate propaganda from historical fact. By reviewing the events
of the pre-1914 period, the responsibility of Germany for the
outbreak of the war is reconsidered.
It begins with a short account of the situation after the
Franco-Prussian War, when France was isolated and Germany secure in
the friendship of all the other Great Powers, and proceeds to
describe how France created an anti-German coalition. The account
of the estrangement of England from Germany attempts to correct the
usual pro-British prejudice and to explain the real causes of this
development. The centrepiece of the work is the creation of the
Triple Entente.
This book is unique in its positive approach to the German
Empire of 1871-1918.
