This extensively revised edition has been meticulously updated to incorporate a plethora of recent case studies, biographies, syntheses, journal articles, and scholarly conferences that coincided with the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War in 2014. The original version of this work, published by James Joll in 1984, swiftly established itself as the definitive introduction to the subject of the war's origins. Substantially expanded by Gordon Martel in 2007, this volume remains an invaluable resource, offering a meticulous, clear, and comprehensive evaluation of the diverse range of explanations advanced to explain the causes of the cataclysm of 1914. It addresses each of the major interpretive approaches to the subject, with essay-like chapters examining the alliance system, militarism and strategy, the international economy, imperial rivalries, the role of domestic politics, and the 'mood of 1914.' This edition boasts an extensive new introduction, a new conclusion (including 'ten fateful choices that led to war'), an entirely new chapter on the July Crisis, and a vastly expanded Guide to Further Reading. Spanning over a century of controversy and scholarship, The Origins of the First World War serves as a indispensable resource for all students and scholars engaged in the study of this pivotal conflict.
