Causes and Consequences of the First World War

by Stewart Ross

The events leading to the outbreak of war and its escalation into an unprecedented world-wide conflict are easily outlined, but why this happened - and who (if anyone) was to blame has been argued about ever since. In this book, various theses are put forward, and the author how the war started; the assassination of Franz Ferdinand; the influence of Europe's Great Powers; the Arms Race; why the war spread; the cost of the war economically and socially; and the changes after the war politically and culturally.

It a really good history book. It told me about the cause and the Consequences of the World War One. And It told me about what happened in world war one too. There was a lot of countries falls like the German empire and Ottoman Empire.I also learn from the book that war is very terrible and everyone should peace.
