Synopsis
Written close to the outbreak of World War 1, this book argues that Germany's invasion of neutral Belgium, coupled with its violation of the neutrality of Luxembourg, was the solitary cause of Britain's decision to join the war. The author carefully examines many of the factors that led up to the outbreak of the war, including the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, placed against the backdrop of burgeoning Serbian nationalism; German ambitions and scheming to attain world power; Austria-Hungary's designs on the Balkans; and Russia's determination to defend its Slavic brethren. Nonetheless, the author contends that none of these issues, nor even a general European war, would have led to Britain's participation if Germany had not invaded Belgium.
