Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diplomatic Background of the World War There is no intention to present in this book the results of independent research. The purpose in writing it has been to present in brief and summary form materials which are at present available only in numerous and lengthy volumes. The need for compression has perhaps led to abruptness in style and has prevented the possibility of extended treat ment of numerous questions which are referred to only in passing. But it is presumed that the reader is familiar with the internal history of the various European countries and will, therefore, be able to supply meaning to names and events to which a mere reference is here made.

This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diplomatic Background of the War, 1870-1914 On June 28, 1914, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir apparent to the throne of the austro-hungarian Monarchy, was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist in the streets of the chief town of Bosnia. Doubtless not more than the merest handful of the millions who read the news on the following day, realized that the murder would carry in its train consequences of extraordinary moment. The popular mind had become accustomed to assassination of royalty. The Empress Elizabeth of Austria, King Humbert of Italy, King Carlos of Portugal, King George of Greece, had all experienced a similar fate and the international diplomatic situation had not been afiected. Who could guess that this new crime would prove to be of greater significance? And yet within five weeks of the murder and apparently as a direct result, the five greatest Powers of Europe were battling in the most terrific war of history.

Download or read book The Diplomacy of the Great War Classic Reprint written by Arthur Bullard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diplomacy of the Great War The object of this book is limited. It has the same rela tion to a treatise on diplomacy that a high school algebra has to a text-book in celestial mechanics. Very little has been written in America on European diplomacy. We have not been interested in the subject. Suddenly the roar of cannon has broken in on our ordinary life and month by month as the War drags on the vital necessity of knowing more about Europe becomes apparent. Many people ask: What is it all about? The more determined ask: Where can we find out about it? In our larger public libraries there is a great deal of material, but interest in such matters had been so slight that this material was not fully catalogued. What the libraries have to offer in our own language is mostly from English sources and as Great Britain is a party to the dispute it is unadvisable to hear only one side.

This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diplomatic Europe Since the Treaty of Versailles IT needed but a few chapters to give the impression that this book was a complete survey Of the illusions and disillusions, the fevered strivings and the sterile struggles, which went to form the travail of Euro pean international life after the Great War. I have purposely refrained from writing these chapters, chiefly because I did not wish to touch, here, upon questions and episodes which might have led to the discussion of ideas or pretended ideas upon which, in other fields, I have Openly expressed my thought. Moreover, apart from any such personal feeling, it seemed to me premature, and therefore useless, to attempt to paint a general picture Of the whole; the postwar history Of Europe is still in the making. I have wished merely to add an historical contribution to that ensemble, by recording the as pect and the trend of some events to which I could partly bear personal witness. Such as they are, these pages do not seek to con ceal, although they may not proclaim, the political and moral ideals which were, and remain, my own.

Download or read book Recent Revelations of European Diplomacy Classic Reprint written by George Peabody Gooch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Revelations of European Diplomacy This little book has been written in the hope of aiding students of the World War and its causes to keep pace With the almost bewildering accumulation of material. It has grown out of a paper read to the British Institute of International Affairs on December 12, 1922, and published in the ?ozmml of the Institute for January, 1923. A reprint met with a considerable demand at home and abroad, and I have been pressed from many quarters to bring the survey up to date. The political and diplomatic revelations of the last four years are no less significant than those reviewed in the original address, and many of them remain unfamiliar to English readers. I have confined myself to publications subse quent to the outbreak of war, and illustrating the period from the accession of William II to the Treaty of Versailles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Great War, Vol. 2: Diplomatic and State Papers Overshadowing all other issues which brought the European nations into conflict loomed the fundamental differences between Great Britain and Germany. A large body of expert opinion, not inadequately substantiated by a cumulation of symptoms and events, held that the war as between those two countries was due to commercial jealousy, which had fomented so long that any unrelated incident would suffice to bring on war. Certainly that is what happened. In the German apologies for the war Great Britain was bitterly accused of envying German prosperity and of welcoming the war as an opportunity to crush German commercial and industrial competition. The strenuous efforts of British business interests to capture German trade have been cited as proof. For the British it was submitted that Great Britain entered the war only after extreme hesitation, and that the war on German trade was a result rather than the object of the conflict. Germany, the British charged, was waging war for economical aggrandizement. Bearing upon this accusation, the dynamic forces which swung Germany into the front rank of nations as an ambitious competitor of the world's trade in a comparatively short time may be reviewed. Besides a sentimental yearning for national unity, two factors operated together to mold the many petty German states into a united nation. The spectacular part was played by the Prussian army, under the control of domineering land-owning aristocrats like Prince Bismarck. Equally important, if less striking, was the work of the industrial capitalists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of European Diplomacy 1815-1914 Now that foreign affairs are, as Disraeli said, merely Britain's domestic affairs in foreign parts, it is the duty of every citizen to know about them and to reflect upon them. Things apparently remote from foreign policy must be regarded in the light of our external relations as well as of our internal situation. And it is not merely the relations of Britain to other countries that the British citizen must know about he must understand the dealings of the other states of Europe and of the world with each other for the affairs of all the nations are so interwoven that no nation, and no part of any nation, can for a moment live unto itself.

This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diplomatic Documents Relating to the Outbreak of the European War, Vol. 1 The Bible tells us that of making many books there is no end, and it would seem that the writers on the great war of 1914 are intent upon establishing beyond peradventure the truth of this pronouncement, if anyone should be bold enough to question it. In deed, we are in danger of being engulfed by the multitude of books concerning its causes with which the world is flooded, many of which, it is believed, unlike the ark, will not survive the deluge; but notwithstanding the many, there is one book of an authoritative na ture whose chapters are the Official statements laid before the world by each of the belligerent governments, and the present volume justi fies its appearance and its claim to usefulness because it is composed exclusively of the appeals which each of the nations at war has made to public opinion. It is true that these many-colored books and papers have been more than once brought together and published, but there appears to have been in each case a special reason or an interested motive for so doing. The present publication has no purpose other than to lay be fore the reader the statements which the nations have been pleased to make as to the reasons which drove them to war (because apparently none of them wanted the war and yet each of them was forced into it), without an attempt to analyze the reasons given by the govern ments of the warring countries; to separate them into pretext or cause; to question their sincerity or to apportion praise or blame. The documents speak for themselves and the reader is left to judge. Now, the value of these documents is greater than the truth which they may contain, for they are the reasons which each nation would have us regard as the justification of its action, and from this stand point they are a contribution to the psychology of nations. Responsi ble statesmen thought that the publication of the documents would vindicate the propriety of their actions; otherwise the ministers of foreign affairs of the countries at war would not have issued them, and they thus furnish unimpeachable evidence of the processes of thought Obtaining in the chancellories of Europe. The documents are further valuable as evidences of the fact that the actions of the nations at war required justification, and for the additional and even more im portant fact that they are addressed not merely to their citizens or subjects at home, but primarily to the Opinion of neutral countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diplomacy and the War At the moment when the revolver shots rang out in the streets of Serajevo, whose consequences plunged the world deeper into bloodshed and destruction than any other single human act, I was strongly opposed to the Cabinet of Tisza. The Government determined to demand a reckoning for the murder; and, notwithstanding my opposition to the Cabinet, I supported its foreign policy. The mass of the people did the same. The first question to which I must reply is, therefore: What motive caused us to support active opposition to Serbia? Prior to the Napoleonic Coalition, the history of Europe was based upon the independent policy and mutual competition of single powers.
