History CausationEssay title: History CausationWorld War 1 started in 1914 where Germany where blamed of causing it. This essay will be explaining if it was really Germany their fault of causing World War 1 and if it was inevitable.
There were early signs in Europe that World War was going to come.In Blackadder Goes Forth, Baldrick opined that the war began when Arch Duke shot an ostrich because he was hungry. His garbled version of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary reflects popular opinion: that the issues were not worth the ensuing bloodbath. Most modern scholars would not agree. Germany and Austria-Hungary (the Central Powers) are seen, at the very least, as creating the conditions for conflict. Some go much further, blaming Germany for planning and waging a deliberate war of aggression.
Under Kaiser Wilhelm II, Germany moved from a policy of maintaining the status quo to a more aggressive stance. He decided against renewing a treaty with Russia, effectively opting for the Austrian alliance. Germanys western and eastern neighbours, France and Russia, signed an alliance in 1894 united by fear and resentment of Berlin. In 1898, Germany began to build up its navy, although this could only alarm the worlds most powerful maritime nation, Britain. Recognising a major threat to her security, Britain abandoned the policy of holding aloof from entanglements with continental powers. Within ten years, Britain had concluded agreements, albeit limited, with her two major colonial rivals, France and Russia. Europe was divided into two armed camps:
Britain, in 1901, was given a free-ranging plan to build up its naval navy. Unlike her rivals, the British had no need to give up its naval plans on other countries. After 1914, a treaty of naval cooperation and training between France and Russia was made. Both allies agreed to supply up to 150,000 guns for the British Navy. This was expected to provide enough guns to replace France’s 300,000, but this might not last for long, as France would soon be outnumbered by Russia’s two nuclear submarines. France began to receive naval upgrades and improvements, particularly the addition of submarine destroyers, in response to Russia’s advances in the Pacific and the Atlantic. Over the next half century, France and Britain established closer security and training facilities, although the British made further changes to their approach, including the dismantling of secret bases. By 1885, although some military manoeuvres by British warships were taken down, the new government was able to achieve peace talks, despite the opposition of the Americans which believed, as they had done during the Spanish Civil War, the German occupation of Paris. On 17 November 1915, the French navy finally took possession of the strategic Vosmacht air base in the far northern part of France as part of a deal that gave Allied submarine commanders an excuse to cut back on naval force that made it harder for British aircraft to reach their targets without being in direct combat with the German surface vessels. Two years later, in February 1916, Britain surrendered to the Germans thanks to Britain’s support. Britain still had the right of withdrawal from World War I, but had to rejoin the United Nations to reach an agreement. A week before the battle of Normandy, France declared itself open to a new alliance and launched a series of naval exercises. On 23 June 1917, Britain began to withdraw from the Western Pacific. The UK has since been engaged in air raids on Russia and North America’s Pacific islands, many of which are in the process of being occupied and occupied by the Allies. There were some problems, however, with Operation Waterloo. After a brief strike on Russia in July 1914, Britain attacked in France on 29 January 1918 with naval force to the south. France took the attack in an attempt to counter the German military advances. However, Germany did not recognize the British claim, not because of the fact that it would soon be destroyed by air attacks. The British withdrew in late 1914 and left with an additional 600,000 men. After a war at home was over, when a British submarine from the Netherlands began to sink, there was talk that Britain could not withdraw from the Pacific. However, it appears the answer never came and the submarines were put under new ownership and control. This story was embellished by the BBC in their September 1916 story that Britain was not allowed back in the East Indies to maintain the blockade on the islands that had been used to keep the British submarine out. This was later debunked by the Dutch government and even the Ministry of Defence. In 1920, under British policy, the UN would not use its
