What Caused the First World War?

What were the causes of the First World War? From the perspective of the 1920s, in the decade after it ended, it was purely the Great War, the World War or the War to End All Wars.

By the late 1920s it was becoming apparent that another war would be brewing in the future as the World War didn't resolve anything. However that is in the future.

As for the past, Leo Markun's "A Short History of the World War" presents the causes and effects of the war as it was understood less than 10 years later. A great insight into how the world viewed the outcome and attempt to learn lessons from it.

With a focus on the greater effects that precipitated the war and the geopolitical events around it rather than individual battles, the book represents a clash of nationalism and imperialist ambitions.

The text is as it was originally written, with some typos corrected and laid out in a larger font so our older eyes can read it.
