Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Responsibility for the Great War In the summer of 1914, when the Great War suddenly broke upon Europe, there was much perplexity and confusion of thought among neutral observers. Signs of a coming test of strength had been plentiful, but thus far they had proved false: diplomatic "crises" had been successfully handled; sabers had rattled but had remained in the sheath; "storm clouds" had failed to break. And now, almost without warning, the most malignant forces of civilization were loosened and the world war was a fact. There was nothing in the European situation of that year that should "inevitably" have led to war. Armed conflicts usually come when statesmen, diplomats, and the controlling classes lack wisdom in dealing with real crises or when the ruling elements actually desire war. Justice sometimes demands warfare, but in 1914 justice was evidently not active in the councils of Central Europe. Neutral observers were soon in fair agreement that in August of that year a crime had been committed - the greatest crime in all the ages. In their search for the criminal they received but slight help from the belligerent patties; all tried to load the responsibility for the war on the backs of their opponents. Soon after the outbreak, Count Andrassy, an eminent Hungarian statesman, in a book entitled "Whose Sin is the World War," placed the blame on Russia; England and France were responsible in a lesser degree. The Germans, however, were unwilling to accept Andrassy's dictum; they regarded England as the chief criminal and called fervently on the Almighty to join in punishing that wicked state. England in her turn found the responsibility in Berlin and poured forth her wrath upon the Kaiser as the symbol of Prussian power and perfidy. Before many months the neutral world had come to feel that the burden of responsibility must ultimately be placed on one of these two powers, England or Germany. And, as the war developed, a constantly growing number came to feel that the guilt must be charged to the German government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Responsibility for the War The evidence as to the immediate causes of the European war has so far been made public by the issue of the German White Book and the British White Papers.1 These documents are already of historic value, and it is important that all who would grasp clearly the development of the situation in the critical days before the outbreak of hostilities should examine closely the materials of information which have been thus officially presented. It will be found by students that these documents require very careful collation, for the situation which they reflect was highly com plex and developing very rapidly. It is well to give this warning. But a study and restudy of the materials thus available will enable the action of the several States in the crisis to be more clearly appreciated and the comparative responsibility of the various parties to be in certain important respects determined.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Drawing on exhaustive research, this intimate account details how World War I reduced Europe’s mightiest empires to rubble, killed twenty million people, and cracked the foundations of our modern world “Thundering, magnificent . . . [A World Undone] is a book of true greatness that prompts moments of sheer joy and pleasure. . . . It will earn generations of admirers.”—The Washington Times On a summer day in 1914, a nineteen-year-old Serbian nationalist gunned down Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. While the world slumbered, monumental forces were shaken. In less than a month, a combination of ambition, deceit, fear, jealousy, missed opportunities, and miscalculation sent Austro-Hungarian troops marching into Serbia, German troops streaming toward Paris, and a vast Russian army into war, with England as its ally. As crowds cheered their armies on, no one could guess what lay ahead in the First World War: four long years of slaughter, physical and moral exhaustion, and the near collapse of a civilization that until 1914 had dominated the globe. Praise for A World Undone “Meyer’s sketches of the British Cabinet, the Russian Empire, the aging Austro-Hungarian Empire . . . are lifelike and plausible. His account of the tragic folly of Gallipoli is masterful. . . . [A World Undone] has an instructive value that can scarcely be measured”—Los Angeles Times “An original and very readable account of one of the most significant and often misunderstood events of the last century.”—Steve Gillon, resident historian, The History Channel

The Verdict of History "I honour and respect England, declared Italy's master-statesman, Cavour, in 1809, I hold her in veneration, because I look upon her as the rock upon which liberty found, and should occasion require, will again find, an invulnerable stronghold. I have always favoured all steps possible towards an alliance with England; I have done this both as a writer and as minister and have followed this policy so earnestly as to have often incurred the reproach of being excessively Anglophile." "In the great battle which is being fought in all parts of the world between good and evil, between justice and oppression, between equality and privilege, between truth and falsehood, your place has already been assigned," wrote the great Italian apostle of nationality and political liberty, Mazzini, in his ardent appeal to the American people in 1865.

Download or read book The Great War and Its Lessons Classic Reprint written by Nicholas Murray Butler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great War and Its Lessons We are a neutral nation, and the President has rightly enjoined us all to observe neutrality in speech and in deed. But neutrality is not indifference: it is not the neutrality of the casual passer-by who views with amused carelessness a fight between two street rowdies; it is the neutrality of the just judge who aims, without passion and without prejudice, to render judgment on the proved facts. We cannot if we would refrain from passing judgment upon the conduct of men whether singly or in nations, and we should not attempt to do so.' In the first place, the moral judgment of the American people as to this war and as to the several steps in the declaration and conduct of it, is clear, calm, and practically unanimous. There is no beat ing of drums and blowing of bugles, but rather a sad pain and grief that our kin across the sea, owing whatever allegiance and speaking whatever tongue, are engaged in public murder and destruction on the most stupendous scale recorded in history. This of itself proves that the education of public opinion has proceeded far, and, whatever the war-traders and militarists may say, that the heart of the American people is sound and its head well-informed. The attitude of the American press is worthy of the highest praise; in some notable instances the very high-water mark of dignity and of power has been reached. When the war-clouds have lifted, I believe that the moral judgment of the American people as to this war will prove to be that of the sober - minded and fair-minded men in every country of Europe.

Bismarck sought readjustment by a new grouping of nations about Ger many. Austria, who soon came to be dependent upon German support, was firmly attached in alliance. To these two powers Russia had been drawn for a while, but it was soon apparent that the question of the Balkans made the interests of Germany's partners irreconcilable. During the russo-turkish War she was forced to choose which of her friends she would in the future have, and the support which she gave to Austria made it certain that Russia would soon seek her interests elsewhere.
