Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an amalgamation of observations, delves into the underlying reasons why World War I erupted in 1914. The author demonstrates that the war's immediate origins lie in Germany's frame of mind - the military party's belligerence that began to dominate decision-making in the years leading up to the war. The author analyzes writings by German General von Bernhardi and Prince von Bulow to illustrate the prevailing German sentiment that war was a natural state, a noble goal, and an indispensable factor in cultural development. Germany's political leaders believed their state to be superior to the needs of its people, leading them to reject international comity and embrace a philosophy of ruthless self-interest, as exemplified in their treatment of Belgium. The author posits that this philosophy is a Prussian and not a German product, and that the German people's political incompetence, as acknowledged by German leaders themselves, made them susceptible to the Prussian ethos. The author's insights illuminate the profound moral issues at stake in the war and emphasize the lasting significance of understanding the origins of such conflicts to prevent future tragedies.
