    340 Words  | 1 Pages

    Although Fischer’s thesis was widely accepted, there were people who argued against it. Most Germans had accepted the fact that Germany had caused World War II, but they disagreed with the blame Germany took for World War I.

  • Was World War I a total war?

    1077 Words  | 3 Pages

    The First World War of 1914-1918, also known as the Great War, was the first total war in history. What began as a European struggle over the balance of power between the triple alliance of France, Britain and Russia on one side and the central powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary on the other, soon became a global conflict that involved the imperial powers of Europe, their colonies and lands such as the Ottoman Empire, Japan and the United States. Although the sheer number of countries involved in the conflict is enough to describe the First World War as a mass war, what makes it total is the fact that it was waged not only against the enemy’s armies, but also against the civilian population. Military attacks, the use of propaganda and the fact that governments had to mobilise every available human and material resource for the conduct of war affected non-combatants and made World War One a war not fought between armies, but entire societies.

    The First World War A stalemate developed on the Western Front for four main reasons, one being that the Schlieffen plan failed, another reason was that the French were unable to defeat the Germans completely at the Battle of the Marne, another reasons was the "race to the Channel" and the last reason was that defending positions was far easier than attacking. The Schlieffen Plan failed for a number of reasons, one being that Moltke, the German commander, had altered the balance of the forces so that the right wing had only three times as many troops as the left wing and since the right wing was smaller it advanced more slowly than had been planned. Another reason was that there was more resistance from the Belgian army and then from British and French forces than had been expected and this slowed down the right wing and allowed the British and French forces to retreat and then counter-attack.

    To carry on, prior to World War I, numerous wars such as the American Civil War, the Napoleonic Wars, or the Opium War of China had been fought, but mostly for the sole purposes of territorial expansion or acquiring resources. However, “World War I was greeted with incredible enthusiasm. Each of the major belligerents was convinced of the rightness of its cause, demonstrating the power of nationalism.” (William J. Duiker and Jackson J. Spielvogel, World History, vol. 2, 667). After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the views of war changed drastically, and a new romantic idea about the war was born. War was now perceived as a great opportunity to prove an individual’s or nation’s greatness. “Now, God be thanked Who has matched us with His hour,

    Even though Wilhelm the Crown Prince of Germany once said "Certainly diplomatic dexterity can, and should, postpone the conflict for a time, and at times disentangle the difficulties. Certainly all those in authority must and will be fully conscious of their enormous responsibility in the grave hour of decision. They must make it clear to their own minds that the gigantic conflagration, once enkindled, cannot be so easily or so quickly extinguished." (Doc B) This can be taken as alliances help resolve tensions and ensure peaceful times. World War 1 was driven by Mutual Alliances instead of it being driven by the best interests of the nation or country like it should have been. Because General von Moltke [head of the army] said: I believe war is unavoidable; war the sooner the better. But we ought to do more to press to prepare the popularity of a war against Russia. The Kaiser supported this. Tirpitz [head of the navy] said that the navy would prefer to see the postponement of the great fight for one and a half years."(Doc E) Which can be taken as how some areas wanted to go to war because it would be better finically better for the country if they won, also it has the chance for countries to expand. And For example, In case one of the High Contracting Parties should find itself at war with a fourth Great Power, the two others shall maintain towards it benevolent neutrality and shall devote their efforts to the localization of the conflict."(Source A) Meaning that although war is generally good for the economy and even though the other powers that be didn’t start or help with a war they still had to help out with it.
