The Origins And Course Of The First World War, 1905-18
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
In the summer of 1914 a teenage Bosnian Serb shot an Austrian archduke in a side street in Sarajevo. Within six weeks the armies of six great powers were marching, and within four years roughly nine million soldiers were dead. Nobody in July 1914 intended that outcome, which is exactly why historians have argued about it ever since: was this a war Germany planned, or a war that a system of alliances, timetables and fear made almost impossible to stop?
This note takes you through the rivalries of 1905 to 1914, the crises that hardened them, the failure of the Schlieffen Plan and the deadlock that followed, the war at sea and at Gallipoli, and the collapse of Germany in 1918. Because this is a Paper 2 source topic, it also trains the three skills the examiner actually rewards: inferring from a source, cross-referring two sources that do not quite agree, and testing a historian's interpretation against evidence and your own knowledge.
