Somewhat difficult to read. E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Linda Cantoni, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The New York Times Current History of the European War, Vol. 1, January 9, 1915" is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The work offers a detailed examination of the complex political landscape surrounding the outbreak of World War I, particularly focusing on the ethical and legal justifications presented by various nations involved in the conflict. The book compiles various articles, discussions, and analyses regarding key events, including the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the subsequent reactions of Austria-Hungary, Serbia, and their allies, providing a snapshot of public opinion and diplomatic reasoning at the time. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a legal and moral analysis of the war's origins, notably through a critical article by James M. Beck. He poses hypothetical scenarios to evaluate the conduct of the nations involved, arguing for an international moral standard amidst the chaos of war. Beck systematically questions the justification of Austria-Hungary's aggression against Serbia following the assassination, while also analyzing Germany's role in supporting Austria. He contemplates the implications of treaty violations, the concept of sovereign rights, and challenges the prevailing narratives of guilt and innocence among the powers involved, suggesting that a peaceful resolution was possible had diplomatic channels been utilized effectively. This opening provides a thought-provoking exploration of the ethical dilemmas associated with war and the intricacies of international relations in a time of crisis.
