Was Germany Responsible For World War 1

Were German Militarism and Diplomacy Responsible for World War I? I don’t think that German Militarism and Diplomacy was responsible for World War I. I think that every country that was involved played a part in the start of World War I. Although Germany did play a role in the start of World War I, you can’t solely blame them. As disagreements occurred, countries banned together and formed the great powers. On page 138 it states, “Germany and her allies were held accountable for the war and all concomitant damages.” Yes, Germany did cause problems, but it wasn’t just their fault. Germany did in fact use militarism and diplomacy to attack other countries, but I think that there were many other factors that contributed to the start of the war.
