Retrospectively‚ the First World War seems as if it was inevitable‚ but the arms race between the European powers can be conceptualized as a defensive response to the increasing military power by a country’s neighbours. Though some plans were indeed offensive‚ they were building not towards deliberately offensive maneuvers but rather an attempt to protect their borders should a neighbour invade. Germany’s answer to this in the Schlieffen Plan was an aggressive form of defence‚ hoping to avoid a war on two fronts

Did Germany have the sole responsibility for World War One? The First World War lasted for four years and resulted in the catastrophic deaths of millions. Germany is responsible for it‚ there’s no doubt in it. Yet whether Germany should be held the sole responsibility for World War one is something that led to endless debates among people for ages. In my point of view‚ all participating countries should be held responsible‚ only to different scale. I agree that Germany should be held a greater proportion

Duke. Although Germany has a share in the responsibility of these factors‚ she was definitely not the lone cause. Many powerful European nations played a roughly equal part in their contribution‚ which consequently started the First World War.

I strongly believe that Germany is not to be blamed for starting the First World War. In my opinion all the major powers helped to start the war‚ moreover‚ they should share the blame. Firstly‚ Germany was being forced to admit that they started the war‚ however‚ according to Count Brockdorff-Rantzan (head of the German delegates at Versailles in 1919)‚ the German people felt they were fighting a war of defense. If Germany had caused the war the other countries would have only fought defensively

World War 1 “The war to end all wars.” This was the common name used for World War 1 but truthfully I do not believe there will ever be a war that ends all wars forever. This war struck fear into the hearts of not only soldiers in the war but citizens caught in the cross fire of the hatred that was plaguing our world.

There is no uncertainty all the European forces assumed a part in inciting World War One‚ yet most normally‚ fingers point to Germany. Is Germany really to fault for the main world war? That is the question that will be tended to in this paper. WWI was viewed as the principal add up to war‚ which means nations devote the greater part of their assets to battle and win. Alongside every nation utilizing their qualities‚ they had a tangled partnership framework which helped them battle‚ in which nations

This is what triggered Austria-Hungary into a war-like mindset as a country. Even though this main cause of World War I wasn’t much of Germany’s problem‚ that’s not all that turned on WWI.
