User talk:John Kenney/Causes of World War I
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Outline of what I want to do.
1) Intro - brief discussion of assassination, july crisis, and explanations made of the causes of the war.
2) Discussion of European diplomatic history 1890-1914
3) detailed discussion of July Crisis
4) Earliest historiography - War Guilt
5) "Inadvertent war thesis," The Revisionists (Fay, Schmitt, and so forth); and Albertini's commanding synthesis the traditional view of primary German responsibility
6) The Fischer Controversy
7) The Bielefeld Group - German domestic politics as key factor in origins of war
8) Cultural type explanations - social darwinism, and the like
9) Reactions against a sole focus on Germany, especially political explanations that return the focus to the Balkans. A new consensus?
That's it for now. Next I'm going to go through the current article and try to find material that fits each part.
