The Origins of the War: Lectures Delivered in the Michaelmas Term, 1914 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Origins of the War: Lectures Delivered in the Michaelmas Term, 1914
German writers often assert that the British Empire is the result of the conscious and persistent efiort' of our people towards the achievement-oi world-empire. We, on our part, believe that Germany has in recent times adopted a world-policy which, almost of necessity, has brought her into conflict with the British race. Which of the two peoples has of late been the more expansive, the more aggressive, is a question which can be finally and decisively answered only by future historians who have at their disposal documents necessarily withheld from the present generation. But it has seemed' to me desirable to try to bring together into these lectures as much evidence as is now forthcoming, for the formation of at least a provisional judgment on this great topic.
