finger of blame at one sole country for starting a war. Although there is never one country entirely responsible for starting warfare there is commonly one country that is more at fault than the other.

The war itself though was completely unnecessary and should never have taken place. One of the main reasons the war started

Who was more to blame for the cold war‚ the USA or the USSR? This Cold War has affected the world from 1945 until now. The blame lies on one of these two countries. I believe it is these party’s leaders who should be blamed for the cold war‚ not the countries. At the time‚ these two countries were on very precarious political and military terms‚ which were ready to fluctuate at any moment. These two countries had lead Europe to a standstill. The two‚ were in a dangerous state of political tension

I agree Germany were aggressive but their actions were not completely responsible for the outbreak of war‚ there were other causes for the war which Germany were not responsible for‚ such as the Triple of Entente where Germany felt isolated and insecure.

but in the time period from 1914-1918 it is clear that world war one was caused by a single country‚ Germany. Evidence of this comes from the fact that Germany believed that war was inevitable‚ they were in the process of designing military strategies for a war prior to Austria-Hungary having any hostility towards Serbia‚ and tried to pressure countries into unwanted treaties. There is information to suggest that Germany anticipated a war ever since they themselves became a country. In 1871 “following

Who is to blame for the civil war? The civil war broke out in 1642 after Parliament sent a long list of complaints to King Charles I.

Firstly it is parliament who sent the list who kick it off with the list and did not give Charles his tax for life‚ which will
