Bethman-Holweg and Jagow
“We know it is intended as a
prelude to war, not a prelude to
negotiations,
We want the rest of the powers to
believe that Berlin is wondering as
well as the rest of Europe what
will be in the ultimatum.”
Britain, France, and Russia talked to their Ambassadors to Germany in Berlin……..and
the German Ambassadors to Britain, France, and Russia………..
”What will be in the ‘Ultimatum’ note to Serbia”?
Sgt. Shultz
“I know nothing.”
17
Messages to Austria-Hungary
“We will encourage Serbia to make
reasonable amends, but it can’t be an

Everything will depend on the form of satisfaction demanded
and whether moderation would be exercised. We will also
encourage Serbia to meet Austria’s demands.”
“Serbia must accept the penalties asked of
them by Austria, but not to the point of
starting a war.”

Austria’s Ultimatum to the Government of Serbia
20
The annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for Austria-
Hungary had a negative effect.
The driving force behind this action was the Austrian Foreign
Minister Count von Aehrenthal.
He thought that Austria could intimidate the Serbian minority
within the country (Austria) and impress Serbia and the
other powers by changing the existing status of
occupation (since the Congress of Berlin) by
extending Austrian sovereignty to Bosnia and
Herzegovina by force.
The result was devastating for Austria:
this action led to an outburst of national enthusiasm
in Serbia; the strengthening of pro-Serbian networks
within Bosnia and Herzegovina and most of all to the
alienation of great powers.

1906 with
Churchill
Wilhelm II really declared,
"Ruthlessness and weakness will start the
most terrifying war of the world, whose
purpose is to destroy Germany. Because
there can no longer be any doubts,
England, France and Russia have
conspired themselves together to fight an
annihilation war against us".
One of the few things that Kaiser Wilhelm II
had a talent for was causing outrage. A
specialty was insulting other monarchs. He
called the diminutive King Victor Emmanuel
III of Italy “the dwarf” in front of the king’s
own entourage. He called Prince (later Tsar)
Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, “Fernando naso,” on
account of his beaky nose, and spread
rumors that he was a hermaphrodite.

Commander wrote in his diary:
“What a glorious day in the history of

In May 1914, Colonel Edward
House, the special advisor of the
American President, reported to
President Wilson: “Militarism is
runingstarkmadinEurope”.There
was a cult of military display; a
strong belief that war would be
the final solution.
Maybe the decision makers in
those days were not fully aware of
what war really meant; but they
were active in preparing for it,
they embraced a logic of war, they
were not “Sleepwalkers.”

•Russia bound by their treaty with Serbia decides to come to Serbia’s aid.
•Germany, with the recent treaty with Austria-Germany, declares war on Russia.
•France, bound by an existing treaty with Russia, now is at war with Germany by association.
•Germany then invades Belgium to have easy access to France.
•Britain, allied to France with an existing treaty, declares war against Germany.
• This was unexpected by Germany as they expected Britain to stay out of the war,
since the treaty with France was loosely worded and not entirely binding.
However, Britain also had a 75 year old treaty with Belgium.
So because of both of these treaties, they decided to declare war on Germany.
• The British colonies enter the war.
•Japan honors an existing treaty with Britain and declares war on Germany.
•Austria-Hungary declare war on Japan for declaring war on Germany.

The concept of honor embraced by elites at the beginning of World War I was rooted in ancient times, the honor
code of medieval knights.
Many historians and economists attributed the outbreak of WWI to irrational and pre-capitalist desires for
self-glorification and violent self-assertion, prevalent among the aristocracy.
The alliances drawn up between nations before the war could actually have helped to preserve the
fragile peace.
The mindset of Europe’s leaders ultimately came to thinking in terms of military solutions rather
than diplomatic ones.
The British-German arms race: Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany embarked on a massive project to build
a fleet that would rival Great Britain’s. The Royal Navy’s purpose was protection of her world-wide trade.
Any threat to Britain's naval supremacy was a threat to the nation itself. Ultimately, Germany was unable to keep
pace with the spending of Britain and turned to the build-up of their army. However, "the damage to Germany’s
relationship with Britain proved irreversible“ (Paul Cornish).
The heads of state of Britain, Germany and Russia – George V, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Tsar Nicholas II – were
first cousins who knew one another very well-”Royal Cousins at War,” a study in the envy, insincerity,
festering rancor and muddle that only families can manage“ (BBC documentary).
"As relationships between the royal cousins waxed and waned, so did the relationships between their countries,"
the Daily Mail’s Ruth Styles says.
Blame a Country Answers attributed to Historian/Author Max Hastings
Germany is more guilty than most, as "it alone had power to
halt the descent to disaster at any time in July 1914 by
withdrawing its 'blank cheque' which offered support to Austria
for its invasion of Serbia."

Serbian nationalism and expansionism were the root cause .

The result was devastating for Austria: this action led to an outburst of national enthusiasm in Serbia; the strengthening of pro-Serbian networks within Bosnia and Herzegovina and most of all to the alienation of great powers.

He called Prince (later Tsar) Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, “Fernando naso,” on account of his beaky nose, and spread rumors that he was a hermaphrodite.

  • 97. 97 The concept of honor embraced by elites at the beginning of World War I was rooted in ancient times, the honor code of medieval knights. Many historians and economists attributed the outbreak of WWI to irrational and pre-capitalist desires for self-glorification and violent self-assertion, prevalent among the aristocracy. The alliances drawn up between nations before the war could actually have helped to preserve the fragile peace. The mindset of Europe’s leaders ultimately came to thinking in terms of military solutions rather than diplomatic ones. The British-German arms race: Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany embarked on a massive project to build a fleet that would rival Great Britain’s. The Royal Navy’s purpose was protection of her world-wide trade. Any threat to Britain's naval supremacy was a threat to the nation itself. Ultimately, Germany was unable to keep pace with the spending of Britain and turned to the build-up of their army. However, "the damage to Germany’s relationship with Britain proved irreversible“ (Paul Cornish). The heads of state of Britain, Germany and Russia – George V, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Tsar Nicholas II – were first cousins who knew one another very well-”Royal Cousins at War,” a study in the envy, insincerity, festering rancor and muddle that only families can manage“ (BBC documentary). "As relationships between the royal cousins waxed and waned, so did the relationships between their countries," the Daily Mail’s Ruth Styles says.
