24-H206 Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Coming of World War One – Brent Bennett
Did German and Austro-Hungarian leaders “sleepwalk” into the catastrophe of World War 1? Or did they deliberately trigger the war in a bid to gain domination over Europe before the Allies became too strong? The debate over German intentions and war guilt started over a century ago and shows no signs of disappearing. Come and see if the war was an absent-minded accident or the product of willful calculation.
