Over fifty years ago the German historian Fritz Fischer published his famous book Germany's Aims in the First World War. It departed from the established consensus that many countries and governments had a shared responsibility for the outbreak of the war, and put the onus primarily on Germany. The book initiated a fierce international debate which Fischer seems to have mostly won. By the middle of the 1970s many of his controversial positions had become mainstream. More recent research, however, started to question this consensus again. Many scholars moved away from focusing on the responsibility of individual countries or politicians and turned to the complex structures and mechanisms of the international system. How does this 'systemic' perspective alter the importance Fischer's findings and interpretations? This volume brings together the latest research by many of the most prominent historians of the First World War from a wide range of countries and it presents the most important trends and results of recent international scholarship, frequently based on new archival findings unavailable to Fischer at the time. By concentrating on key controversial areas of his arguments and asking which of his assumptions and interpretations still stand the test of new research, the essays in this book provide an excellent and focused overview of the complex history of the outbreak of the war. However, they also demonstrate that no clear new consensus has emerged so far regarding a comprehensive explanation for what still has to be seen as the 'great seminal catastrophe' of the twentieth century (G. F. Kennan)

Erstmals seit 1919: die ungekürzte und kommentierte Ausgabe der klassischen Polemik Hugo Balls gegen die deutsche Ideologie. Der Hugo Ball, der den "Dadaismus" in jenem kurzen halben Jahr 1916 im "Cabaret Voltaire" in Zürich erfand, ist weithin bekannt. Weniger bekannt ist Ball als Redakteur der wichtigsten Zeitung des deutschsprachigen Exils in der Schweiz während des Ersten Weltkrieges. Die "Freie Zeitung" in Bern, an der er von 1917 bis 1919 mitwirkte, wurde zum wichtigsten Sprachrohr deutscher Exilanten, in dem die Kriegspolitik Hindenburgs und Ludendorffs auf Schärfste angegriffen wurde. Ball faßte 1919 seine Überlegungen in dem großen Essay "Zur Kritik der deutschen Intelligenz" zusammen, der im Verlag der "Freien Zeitung" erschien: eine Art Abrechnung mit der deutschen Ideologie von Luther bis Bismarck, von Hegel bis Marx. An die Stelle der offiziellen Heroen deutscher Geschichte setzt Ball als Alternative eine Ahnenreihe von großen Religiösen und Moralisten. Auch seine jahrelange Beschäftigung mit dem russischen Anarchisten Bakunin findet hier ihren Niederschlag. Im Rahmen der Hugo-Ball-Ausgabe wird nicht nur erstmals wieder der ungekürzte Text der Erstausgabe von 1919 vorgelegt, der Band enthält auch die unter dem Titel "Die Folgen der Reformation" erschienene revidierte Neufassung von 1924.

Providing a new interpretation of the origins of the First World War, this textbook synthesises recent scholarship and introduces the major historiographical and political debates surrounding the outbreak of the war. The author argues that the war was a far from inevitable outcome of international politics in the early twentieth century and suggests instead that there were powerful forces operating in favour of the maintenance of peace. His fresh perspective on the pre-war international system takes account of new approaches to the study of international politics since the end of the Cold War and the acceleration of globalisation. Thematic chapters examine key issues, including the military, public opinion, economics, diplomacy and geopolitics, and analyse relations between the great powers, the role of smaller states, the disintegrating empires and the July crisis. This account revises our understanding of diplomacy, political culture, and economic history from 1870 to 1914.
