Shadows of Germany's authoritarian past
War Planning and the Outbreak of War in 1914
The debate about the origins of the First World War has been rekindled with numerous new articles and books on the subject. Discussion of the war's outbreak remains a strategist's battleground. Fritz Fischer's interpretations of the causes of the war have dominated the debate for nearly two decades. His principal thesis is that economic and societal pressures propelled Germany into war in 1914. These interpretations are too simplistic and contain…
