Kaiser Wilhelm II


The question of German war guilt has been hotly debated since the publication of Fritz Fischer's Germany's Aims in the First World War in 1967. Was Imperial Germany actively seeking war in 1914, or did the major powers of Europe share responsibility for the Great War? The video clip below gives a little background. Information and opinions on this provocative issue are welcome here.

Some authors argue that the European powers anticipated a limited war in the Balkans, but the alliance system caused the situation to escalate into a world war. Could Austria-Hungary and Serbia have settled their own differences? We often hear about the diplomatic "blank check" that Imperial Germany issued Austria-Hungary in July 1914, but Imperial Russia was not obligated to come to Serbia's aid. How about the Niall Ferguson thesis involving British war guilt?
