Dr. G. W. Prothero's German Opinion and German Policy before the War is a very useful and well-informed sketch of the growth of German ambitions and of the diplomatic antecedents of the war, developing the theory that' recent events in southeastern Europe ... are not to be regarded, as some have regarded them, as " afterthoughts", or as the desperate efforts of a power thwarted in other directions' (Preface); they indicate, rather, ' the fundamental aim of German policy' (p. 84). 'The domination of the nearer and middle east was the essential object of their diplomacy and their gigantic military preparations.' It will be many years before the publication of archives will enable us to settle this question, and it is possible that no amount of evidence will provide a categorical answer. German policy has been the expression of diverse interests, and we find it difficult to believe that the domination of the Balkans and of Turkey was the fundamental object of Hamburg or East Prussia, of Herr Ballin or of Count Reventlow. To German shipping interests Morocco, the possession of which, as Dr. Prothero points out, would have enabled Germany to threaten our communications with South Africa and our trade with South America, was more than the Berlin to Baghdad route; the East Prussian is more intent on Poland and Courland; and Bavaria on direct access to the sea through Antwerp. 'Mittel-Europa' and its Asiatic extension appeals, no doubt, to central Germany, and might be a via media for its extremes. Further, a central power, bent on expansion, inevitably tends to follow the line of least resistance; and a Germany, flanked by Russia and France, and shut in by British sea-power, saw a natural outlet through a pliant Austria, a divided Balkans, and a decadent Turkish empire. But 'fundamental' is an epithet doubtfully applicable to one manifestation of a general force: if Germany went to the length of an ultimatum over the Balkans in 1909, but not over Morocco, the ultimate reason is that she believed Russia would yield, but knew that France and Great Britain would not. Moreover, both in 1909 and 1914 the ultimatums were addressed to Russia and may be ascribed to fear of the Slav, which Dr. Prothero thinks was merely used as a bogey; and there are signs that Germany will in the last resort make a harder fight for Poland than for Belgium or Baghdad. --The English Historical Review

How can we understand what caused World War I? What role did Germany play? This book encourages us to re-think the events that led to global conflict in 1914.Historians in recent years have argued that German leaders acted defensively or pre-emptively in 1914, conscious of the Reich's deteriorating military and diplomatic position. Germany and the Causes of the First World War challenges such interpretations, placing new emphasis on the idea that the Reich Chancellor, the German Foreign Office and the Great General Staff were confident that they could win a continental war. This belief in Germany's superiority derived primarily from an assumption of French decline and Russian weakness throughout the period between the turn of the century and the eve of the First World War. Accordingly, Wilhelmine policy-makers pursued offensive policies - at the risk of war at important junctures during the 1900s and 1910s. The author analyses the stereotyping of enemy states, representations of war in peacetime, and conceptualizations of international relations. He uncovers the complex role of ruling elites, political parties, big business and the press, and contends that the decade before the First World War witnessed some critical changes in German foreign policy. By the time of the July crisis of 1914, for example, the perception of enemies had altered, with Russia - the traditional bugbear of the German centre and left - becoming the principal opponent of the Reich. Under these changed conditions, German leaders could now pursue their strategy of brinkmanship, using war as an instrument of policy, to its logical conclusion.

This book provides the first thorough examination of the peace movement in pre-World War I Germany, concentrating on the factors in German politics and society that account for the movement's weakness. The author draws on a wide range of documents to survey the history, organization, and ideologies of the peace groups, placing them in their social and political context. Working through schools, churches, the press, political parties, and other opinion-forming groups, the German peace movement attempted systematically to promote the idea that the world's nations composed a harmonious community in which law was the proper means for resolving disputes. Except for small pockets of support, however, the movement met only resistance--resistance greater, the author contends, than elsewhere in the West. Evaluating the reasons for hostility to the peace movement in Germany, he concludes that dominant features of German political culture emphasized the inevitability of international conflict, in the final analysis because Imperial Germany's ruling elites feared the domestic as well as the international implications of the movement's program.
