Excerpt from The Immediate Causes of the Great War The object of this volume is to narrate briefly the direct causes of the European war as they are given in the published documents of the belligerents. These sources are abundantly adequate for determining the immediate responsibility of each nation and apportioning the guilt for this great crime. It may be thought that, inasmuch as each government in publishing its official correspondence has tried to convict its enemies and clear itself and its allies, the statements made are so biased as not to be accepted as evidence. This, however, is not the case. The documents corroborate each other sufficiently to show that statements of fact given in official despatches by ambassadors to foreign ministers and vice versa can usually be accepted at face value. The numerous cross-references in the published correspondence enable us sometimes to detect false claims based on the omission, misinterpretation, or even the distortion of facts. Some discrepancies, however, are irreducible, and where such occur, the evidence presented by both sides is given.

Excerpt from The Great War: A Study Outline of the Causes, the Immediate Background, and the Beginnings of the Great World War The following outline was originally planned for a guided-study club program. However, because of the keen and widespread, if indeed not universal, interest. In this world issue, and the great demands for topical suggestions upon it, the outline has been modified to meet the needs of any serious group study work. It is furthermore believed that in its present form this out line will afford excellent direction for general reading and study to those who wish to inform themselves through personal investigation. The Department of Debating and Public Discussion has made a special effort to collect the latest and most authoritative material on the Great World War in allits aspects. This is available to residents of Wisconsin as loan package libraries. To Select material judicious ly, it is essential that the department know how and by whom the desired information is to be used. The same package cannot be used to equal advantage by a rural school pupil and the member of an adult civic league. To prevent duplication and unnecessary expense it is advisable to indicate in the request for loan material what is available locally. Many of the special volumes listed may be borrowed by residents of Wisconsin from the Traveling Library Department of the Wisconsin Library Commission.

Excerpt from The Causes of the Great War The appearance of the German Empire was a rude disturb ance of the old political equilibrium in 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.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Great War: The Causes and the Waging of It The following short story of the Great War was prepared by the author in the winter and spring of 1917 when it became probable that the United States would be drawn in through the resumption by Germany of unrestricted submarine activity against neutral shipping and neutral noncombatants. It was thought that in the Southern States, especially, a clear understanding of the causes of the war and a truthful account of the waging of it, up to our entrance in it, might be of some value to those who might not have given much attention to the consideration of such before this time. In this connection, if it was advisable for the representatives of the French and British Governments to indicate to us their mistakes, it was thought by the author appropriate that, while revealing, to some extent, the splendid courage, devoted patriotism and wonderful determination of the Allies to exhibit, at the same time, the evidence of courage, capacity and determination of our foes which a study of the war reveals. Also, if there have been mistakes made by our Allies, as yet not as apparent to them as to some of us, the revelation of such might be as helpful to us and to them as was the recital by them of those they did see and thought necessary to expose to us so clearly.
