Now more than ever, a clear historical understanding of the conflicts that have engulfed the world is essential. In The First World War, one of the most respected historians of his generation offers a brief but hugely readable narrative account of WWI, its causes and consequences, and the many historical controversies surrounding the origin and conduct of the war.
Karl von Clausewitz wrote that war is a trinity composed of the policy of the government, the activities of the military, and the passions of the people. Michael Howard argues that "each of these must be taken into account if we are to understand both why the war happened and why it took the course it did."
When we are studying any international conflict, especially such large-scale and catastrophic as the First World War, it is important first of all to understand the origins of the conflict, the interests of the parties involved in it and their driving forces. Now we should only understand the points of view, wich were presented in Michael Howard’s The First World War: a very short introduction and Thomas Otte’s The July Crisis: Peace in War, Summer of 1914.
The key link between these two works is what both authors guess that decisive factor in the unleashing of this conflict was not the arms race, not the assassination of Franz Ferdinand or even the ambitions of the participating countries, if it was England with its aspiration to control the political situation on the continent to ensure the security of the process of strengthening their positions in the colonies, the German wanting to expand housing space and so on, but the actions, decisions, calculations and mistakes of the governments of these countries. Both historians believe that it is the human factor that should be considered as the primary cause of the outbreak of war, and not at all economic, political and social problems.
