The Origins of World War I

This work poses an easy but perplexing question about World War I:
Why did it happen? Several of the oft-cited causes are reviewed and
discussed. The argument of the alliance systems is inadequate, lacking
relevance or compelling force. The argument of an accident (or "slide")
is also inadequate, given the clear and unambiguous evidence of inten-
tions. The arguments of mass demands, those focusing on nationalism,
militarism, and social Darwinism, it is argued, are insufficient, lacking
indications of frequency, intensity, and process (how they influenced the
various decisions).
The work focuses on decision making, on the choices made by small
coteries, in Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia, France, Britain, and
elsewhere. The decisions made later by leaders in Japan, the Ottoman
Empire, Italy, the Balkans, and the United States are also explored.
The final chapters review the "basic causes" once again. An alter-
native position is advanced, one focused on elites and coteries, their
backgrounds and training, and their unique agendas.

Richard F. Hamilton is Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Political


Science and Research Associate of the Mershon Center at the Ohio
State University. He has published nine books, including Who Voted
for Hitler? (1982) and The Bourgeois Epoch (1991).

Holger H. Herwig is Professor of History and Canada Research Chair


in Military and Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary. Among
the many books he has written are the Biographical Dictionary of World
War I (1982), coauthored with Neil M. Heyman; The First World War
(1997); and The Destruction of the Bismarck (2001).
