Origins of the First World War summarizes the policies, issues and
crises that brought Europe to war in 1914. Examining the strategic
and political problems that confronted each of the great powers and
the way in which social and economic factors influenced the
decision-making process, Martel discusses the position of each
power and their place in the system of alliances which dominated
international politics. The fourth edition has been revised and
updated throughout to incorporate the body of new scholarship that
has appeared since the hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of
war. In a clear and accessible manner, it explains: how and why the
alliance system was created how alliances led to a network of
complicated strategic commitments how an escalating series of
international crises from the turn of the century fuelled
preparations for war why the peculiarities of the Balkan situation
are essential in understanding the outbreak of war in 1914. This
book also includes an updated Guide to Further Reading, Who's Who
of important figures and Glossary of key terms, and the selection
of documents has been expanded to include the key treaties as well
as evidence of popular militarism and nationalism. Concise,
accessible and analytical, it is essential introductory reading for
all students interested in the origins of the First World War.
