WWI A war Germany did not want.<br />As early as 1914, the renowned American Professor of Law, John William Burgess, declared (after having studied the Blue Books presented by the warring parties), that the Entente held a far greater share of responsibility for the war than Germany and the Danube Monarchy (of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire). The Swiss scholar Ernst Sauerbeck, confirmed this view in 1919. According to his findings, the Entente had unleashed the war without need and turned it into what it became… the tomb of entire nations. He also accused the victorious powers of having, by means of the Versailles Peace Treaty, allowed the 1914-1918 war, to grow into the direst doom that has possibly ever threatened the world – that is, the War that began in 1939/1940 – better known as, World War Two.<br />In addition, experts from Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden and Finland, who in 1927, presented their expertise in a volume published by a Norwegian committee, investigating the issue of war guilt, assessed the share of guilt of the Central Powers as low. According to Hermann Aall, the committee’s secretary, Russia had provoked the war and Great Britain played a decisive role in its outbreak. Axel Drolsum, of the University of Oslo, stated that Germany in 1914, had been the only nation to have tried everything it could to keep the peace, but that it failed due to the will of the other powers to make war.<br /><a href="https://historicaltribune.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/wwi-the-war-germany-did-not-want-blamed-for-entirely-part-1/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://historicaltribune.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/wwi-the-war-germany-did-not-want-blamed-for-entirely-part-1/</a><br /><a href="https://historicaltribune.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/wwi-early-german-peace-proposals-pt-2/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://historicaltribune.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/wwi-early-german-peace-proposals-pt-2/</a><br /><a href="https://historicaltribune.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/wwi-toward-a-prolonged-ultimatum-pt-3/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://historicaltribune.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/wwi-toward-a-prolonged-ultimatum-pt-3/</a><br /><a href="https://historicaltribune.wordpress.com/2016/09/08/versailles-the-peace-to-end-all-peace-pt-4/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://historicaltribune.wordpress.com/2016/09/08/versailles-the-peace-to-end-all-peace-pt-4/</a><br /><br />
