Contesting the Origins of the First World War is a groundbreaking work that challenges the prevailing Anglophone narrative that places sole responsibility for the conflict on Germany. Instead, it offers a fresh perspective by examining the roles of the other Great Powers. Building upon the insights of scholars such as Terrance Zuber, Sean McMeekin, and Stefan Schmidt, this book reassesses the origins of the First World War and provides an explanation for why such a reassessment has been delayed.
Troy R.E. Paddock, the author, argues that historians must reimagine the historiographical map that has charted the origins of the war. His analysis presents a more balanced view of German actions by also acknowledging the actions and inactions of other nations. Recent works on the roles of the five Great Powers involved in the events leading up to the war are considered, and Paddock concludes that Germany does not bear the primary responsibility for the conflict.
This book offers a unique historiographical analysis of key texts published on the origins of the First World War. Its narrative encourages students to engage with and challenge historical perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of the complex web of factors that led to the outbreak of the war. By expanding the lens beyond Germany, Contesting the Origins of the First World War provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of this pivotal period in history.
