Ww1 and Who Was to Blame

The First World War was a devastating war that effected many places and also very many lives. Because of the effects of the war people were determined to search for the country that was to blame for all the disaster created. The outbreak was contingent on a determining number of factors. These factors included nationalism that was being spread throughout Europe during the time before World War I had started and the alliance system. Although Germany was not all to blame for the outbreak of World War I, it did contribute more than a fare share in its involvement in the alliance system, nationalism, the arms race, and emulation between countries and colonies. Previously, before the start of World War I, the dominating powers of Europe (Russia, France, Great Britain, Austria-Hungary, and Germany) were experiencing various problems, which caused the relationships between each power to be extremely edgy and undependable. All five powers were just beginning to adapt to the industrial revolution within their own country, which did not help the matter of dealing with other countries. Germany must take the main blame for starting the war for the following reasons:
1: Unconditional support for Austria.The Kaiser promised Austria he would back them up no matter what, even though they made demands on Serbia that even the Kaiser thought were unreasonable.Austria would not have made such demands without the Kaiser's promise of unconditional support.
2: The German war plan.The Russians had a very large army, and an alliance with France, so the Germans felt they weren't strong enough to fight both at the same time.However, as Russia was so large and its transport infrastructure was underdeveloped compared to the other European powers, it would take 2 months for the Russian army to fully mobilize.The Germans therefore devised the Schlieffen Plan, which was a surprise attack on France through neutral Belgium.This plan was designed to outflank the French army and capture Paris
